NOUVELLE VAGUE 1, « In A Manner Of Speaking », reprise de Tuxedomoon, 2004.
*
Paroles :
In a Manner of speaking
I just want to say
That I could never forget the way
You told me everything
By saying nothing
In a manner of speaking
I don’t understand
How love in silence becomes reprimand
But the way that i feel about you
Is beyond words
Oh give me the words
Give me the words
That tell me nothing
Oh oh oh oh give me the words
Give me the words
That tell me everything
In a manner of speaking
Semantics won’t do
In this life that we live we only make do
And the way that we feel
Might have to be sacrified
So in a manner of speaking
I just want to say
That just like you I should find a way
To tell you everything
By saying nothing.
Oh give me the words
Give me the words
That tell me nothing
Oh oh oh oh give me the words
Give me the words
That tell me everything
Oh give me the words
Give me the words
That tell me nothing
Oh oh oh oh give me the words
Give me the words
That tell me everything

Version (coupée sur la fin) de Tuxedomoon :
A l’instar de l’ancienne musique grecque où les mots n’apparaissaient qu’en lien avec la mélodie et le rythme et n’ouvraient qu’ainsi tout un monde, les images de Wonk Kar Wai donnent au texte et à la musique de In A Manner of Speaking une dimension, une profondeur dans laquelle on finit par entendre tous les mots, quoi qu’ils (ne) disent (pas).
Beau mélange!
