English love songs

Peut-être que ça fait un peu vieillot et pas très original mais j'ai tout de suite pensé à Your Song d'Elton John...

(...)
And you can tell everybody this is your song
It may be quite simple but now that it's done
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind that i put down in words
How wonderful life is while you're in the world


I sat on the roof and kicked off the moss
Well a few of the verses well they've got me quite cross
But the sun's been quite kind while i wrote this song
It's for people like you that keep it turned on


So excuse me forgetting but these things i do
You see i've forgotten if they're green or they're blue
Anyway the thing is what i really mean
Yours are the sweetest eyes i've ever seen

Ah Your song, j'adore ! Merci Mrs Darcy !

Quant à moi, ma chanson préférée, c'est "Everything I do" de Bryan Adams... Je fonds à chaque fois dès que j'entends :

Look into my eyes
You will see
What you mean to me
Search your heart, search your soul
And when you find me there you'll search no more

Don't tell me it's not worth trying for
You can't tell me it's not worth dying for
You know it's true
Everything I do, I'll do it for you

En réécoutant la chanson de Sir E.John, j'ai pensé à une autre perf au piano

Nick Cave "Love Letter"

hold this letter in my hand
A plea, a petition, a kind of prayer
I hope it does as I have planned
Losing her again is more than I can bear
I kiss the cold, white envelope
I press my lips against her name
Two hundred words. We live in hope
The sky hangs heavy with rain

Love Letter Love Letter
Go get her Go get her
Love Letter Love Letter
Go tell her Go tell her

.../....


Rain your kisses down upon me
Rain your kisses down in storms
And for all who'll come before me
In your slowly fading forms
I'm going out of my mind
Will leave me standing in
The rain with a letter and a prayer
Whispered on the wind

Come back to me
Come back to me
O baby please come back to me

Voici une chanson de mon groupe préféré The Cranberries Toutes leurs chansons me font fondre , je ne peut en choisir une seule . Donc j'ai pris au hasard :

You & Me



( ... )

I'm not going out tonight 'cos I don't want to go
I am staying at home tonight 'cos I don't want to know
You revealed a world to me and I would never be
Dwelling in such happiness, your gift of purity


( ... )


Aahh, you and me it will always be
You and me Forever be,
Eternally it will always be you and me


Always be You and me
Forever be, Eternally
It will always be You and me
Forever be, Eternally

Une de mes chansons d'amour préférées:Perhaps love de John Denver. Et lorsqu'il la chante avec Placido Domingo

Perhaps love is like a resting place, a shelter from the storm
It exists to give you comfort, it is there to keep you warm
And in those times of trouble when you are most alone
the memory of love will bring you home.

.........
.........

Perhaps love is like the ocean, full of conflict, full of pain
like a fire when it's cold outside, thunder when it rains
If I should live forever, and all my dreams come true
My memory of love will be of you.

pour la chanson de Bryan Adams, je plussoie à fond, je l'adore.

Y en a tellement mais en ce moment j'aime particulièrement une chanson de Josh Groban .... je ne mettrais que les 2 dernières strophes :

When you say you love me
The world goes still, so still inside and
When you say you love me
In that moment,I know why I'm alive

When you say you love me.
When you say you love me.
Do you know how I love you?

J'adore Josh Groban et surtout "In her eyes", a écouter les filles,elle est superbe .

I am not a hero
I am not an angel
I am just a man
Man who's trying to love her
Unlike any other
In her eyes I am

je suis fan de Josh moi aussi et je voulais justement mettre cette chanson

elle est dans son 3ème album studio "awake" et sur sa compilation "A collection" qui vient de sortir

la première fois que je l'ai entendu, c'est sur Youtube , y avait un montage de Persuasion sur cette musique.

Galy a écrit:

Without you I'm nothing de Placebo

I'm unclean, a libertine
And every time you vent your spleen,
I seem to lose the power of speech,
Your slipping slowly from my reach.
You grow me like an evergreen,
You never see the lonely me at all

J'aime beaucoup cette chanson moi aussi, joli duo

Mrs Fitzwilliam Darcy a écrit:

Peut-être que ça fait un peu vieillot et pas très original mais j'ai tout de suite pensé à Your Song d'Elton John...

ahhhh! your song! Superbe chanson! (honte a moi, je l'ai decouvert seulement dans Moulin Rouge! )

pour ce qui est des ballades anglaises, j'aime beaucoup Pete Doherty
Voici, "You're my Waterloo" qui date des Libertines

You'll never fumigate the demons
No matter how much you smoke
So just say you love me
For three good reasons
And I'll throw you the rope

You don't need it
Cos you are the survivor
Of more than one life
And you're the only lover I had
Who ever slept with a knife

Love you (but you're green) des Babyshambles

I was a troubled teen
Untroubled only in my daydreams
To the annoyance of someone or others
They doubted my philosophy
And this is what they said to me

Oh, you, you'll soon be up where you belong
But it's blood from broken hearts
And write the words to every song
And there's a beautific smile
For the fawners and the servants

j'aime beaucoup le groupe belge Hooverphonic, notamment la chanson "mad about you" :

Citation :

Feel the vibe, feel the terror, feel the pain
Its driving me insane
I cant fake
For God sakes why am i
Driving in the wrong lane
Trouble is my middle name
But in the end Im not too bad
Can someone tell me if its wrong to be so mad about you
Mad about you

Sympa ce petit remontage de topic qui fait découvrir ou redécouvrir certains artistes !

Merci Lady Clare pour The hooverphonic, je connaissais cette chanson sans connaître le nom du groupe... Jamais je n'aurais pensé que c'était un groupe belge, de mon côté j'aurais plutôt penché pour un petit cousin anglais de Portishead !!


Ce n'est peut-être pas la plus belle chanson d'amour au monde, mais je la trouve sublime:

Creep - Radiohead a écrit:

When you were here before
Couldn't look you in the eye
You're just like an angel
Your skin makes me cry
You float like a feather
In a beautiful world
And I wish I was special
You're so fuckin' special

But I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo.
What the hell am I doing here ?
I don't belong here.
(...)

Cette chanson a fait le tour du monde dans les années 90 (c'est également et très accessoirement notre chanson), et a été (très bien) utilisée dans une mémorable scène entre Charlotte Gainsbourg et Johnny Depp de l'excellent Ils se marièrent et eurent beaucoup d'enfants, que je recommande chaudement à ceux/celles qui ne l'auraient pas encore vu !!



Radiohead est vraiment un de mes groupes préférés, entre leurs superbes paroles, la voix envoutante de Thom Yorke et leur rock électronique mi mélodique mi "hallucinogénique", il y a de quoi planer pendant un moment dans un autre univers... Le début de Punchdrunk lovesick singalong est superbe également...

Punchdrunk lovesick singalong - Radiohead a écrit:

I wrapped you inside my coat
When they came to firebomb the house
I didn't feel pain, cause no-one can touch me
Now that I'm held in your spell
(...)

Pour écouter un extrait c'est par là

I knew I loved you - Savage Garden
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=69Z9rkmEcPE

Maybe it's intuition
But some things you just don't question
Like in your eyes
I see my future in an instant
And there it goes
I think I've found my best friend
I know that it might sound more than a little crazy
But I believe

I knew I loved you before I met you
I think I dreamed you into life
I knew I loved you before I met you
I have been waiting all my life

There's just no rhyme or reason
Only this sense of completion
And in your eyes
I see the missing pieces
I'm searching for
I think I've found my way home

I know that it might sound more than a little crazy
But I believe

I knew I loved you before I met you
I think I dreamed you into life
I knew I loved you before I met you
I have been waiting all my life
(add the whos here)

A thousand angels dance around you
I am complete now that I've found you
(and the whos here)

I knew I loved you before I met you
I think I dreamed you into life
I knew I loved you before I met you
I have been waiting all my life
(and the whos here)

Repeat chorus 3x with chorus


Kiss The Rain - Billie Myers
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1MibKBAnjhU

Hello?
Can you hear me?
Am I getting through to you?

Hello
Is it late there?
There's a laughter on the line
Are you sure ya there alone?
Cos I'm
trying to explain
Somethings wrong
You just don't sound the same
Why don't you?
Why don't you?
Go outside?
Go outside?

Kiss the Rain
Whenever you need me
Kiss the Rain
Whenever I'm gone too long
If your lips feel hungry and thirsty
Kiss the Rain
And wait for the dawn
Keep in mind
Were under the same sky
And the nights
As empty for me as for you
If you feel you can't wait till morning
Kiss the Rain*3

Hello?
Do you miss me?
I hear you say you do,
But not the way I'm missing you

Whats new?
Hows the weather?
Is it stormy where you are?
you sound so close so close but it feels like your so far

So would it mean anything?
If you knew,
What I'm left imagining

In my mind

In my mind

Would you go?

Would you go?

Kiss the Rain


And you fall
Over me
Think of me
Think of me
Think of me
Only me

Kiss the Rain
Whenever you need me
Kiss the rain
Whenever I'm gone too long
If your lips feel hungry and tempted
Kiss the Rain
and wait for the dawn
Keep in mind
Were under the same sky
And the nights
As empty for me as for you
If you feel
You can't wait till morning
Kiss the Rain*2
Kiss the Raaaaiiiiin
Kiss the rain
(Kiss the rain)
(Kiss the Rain)
(Kiss the Rain)

Hello?
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?
Can You hear me?


(to fade )

Savage garden, j'aimais bien, ca fais des années que je les ais pas écoute, nostalgie.... j'aimais bin celle ci : truly madly deeply

Liewen a écrit:

Ce n'est peut-être pas la plus belle chanson d'amour au monde, mais je la trouve sublime:
Creep - Radiohead

Elle est superbe cette chanson !

Moi aussi je garde de supers souvenirs de Savage Garden
I want you est pas mal itou

La même année que Truly Madly Deeply est sortie une chanson sympa, When Susannah cries, d'un chanteur norvégien qui a fait une appartition assez brève dans les charts français (même si, viens-je de l'apprendre grâce à madame wikipédia, il continue son petit bonhomme de chemin en Norvège): Espen Lind.

Les paroles sont en anglais "international", donc très facile, mais même si c'est pas du Brel ou du Bob Dylan j'aime bien le refrain:

Citation :

When Susannah cries
She cries a rainstorm
She cries a river
She cries a hole in the ground
She cries for love
She cries a sad song
She cries a shiver
Sometimes she cries for me too

L'easy listening c'est sympa de temps en temps

[edit:] Merci L_Alex c'est bien pour ça que c'est notre chanson !

j'ai cherché la chanson dont tu as parlé "When Susannah cries" mais ca me dit rien, je ne m'en souviens pas trop.

C'est vrai que ça a fait un passage éclair à l'époque ... J'avais à peine eu le temps de me procurer le 2 titres Enfin bon, c'est pas de la grande musique, mais c'est une chanson d'amoûûûûr que j'aime bien

wouauu oui je connais ça ...
