Silly Stephanie (2023 - 95bpm)

Les coulisses

Deuxième revisite de La chanson de Juin 1989 (sur l'album "Last trip to Colpin stree") dans la foulée de la première revisite Silly Stephanie (2023 - 116bpm).
L'idée d'une deuxième revisite a été lancée dans l'esprit de mieux s'inspirer de "Sowing the seeds of love"(Tears for fears) qui n'avait pas pu se concrétiser dans la première revisite du fait d'un tempo un peu trop rapide.
Après quelques essais de réduction de tempo, il a semblé que l'idéal serait de se caler à 95 bpm (soit relativement proche des 85bpm de Tears for fears)
Même s'il s'appuie sur les mêmes éléments, l'arrangement a été adapté avec un nouveau riff de guitare, une nouvelle ligne de basse et surtout une nouvelle manière de chanter avec donc quelques clins d'oeil à la chanson de Tears for fears ...

Paroles

When I met Stephanie, she was just a lovely girl
I didn't realize at once what she really was
And I fell in love with her, I gave my heart to her
And since this time, I've never had my life for me
I spend all my time to repair all what she has broken in me

A day, at home, when I was sleeping like a log
She seized the opportunity to bring back her dog
It was this kind of dog, you should think it's not a dog
It seemed to be a horse you see, it was bigger than me
And when I woke up, it was lying on the bed with me

And sometimes when I don't feel quiet, I resign myself
You do what is right
But tomorrow, if I feel stronger than her,
you do it right
I will explode

A day later, I was coming back right home
She was in the kitchen cooking two eggs for us
And suddenly, curtains began to catch fire, fire
And the wall began to catch fire
And my house was going down

A day we were climbing up the Eiffel Tower
She jumped into space just to see if she could fly
And in my own I prayed for that she couldn't
It was a big surprise to me, she was waiting down for me
With a rubber fastened to her, she was laughing at me

And sometimes when I don't feel quiet, I resign myself
You do what is right
But tomorrow, if I feel stronger than her,
You do it right
I will explode

There's no getting away from it when once one gets to know her
There's no need to be a genius to see she's fully silly
So I take my luggage, I jump in the first taxi
And I run, run, too far for her to see me
And I run, run , for sure, I'll never come back again
