Echobelly / Scream
Everyone's Got One (1994, Fauve Records)
Echobelly est un groupe parmi d'autres, aux chansons honnêtes. Les albums parus ne laisseront pas de traces impérissables. On pourrait donc se dire que Scream n'a pas de mal à briller dans un écrin quelconque. Mais non : cette chanson est réellement touchée par la grâce. Le sanglot « There's no heaven in the sky » fait partie de ces entrelacs de notes, de mots et de sons qui, sait-on pourquoi, se lovent dans la tête en un interminable écho, lancinant et douloureux. On est toujours ému de trouver ailleurs la trace d'émotions que l'on croyait être seul à ressentir.

Paroles
What's it all about ah ha ha,
Spent my whole life praying for a chance to be here,
And things are not the same as expected,
It's been a hard time.
Oh to be wrong,
There's no heaven in the sky,
Have you ever,
Well here's your chance and you can't tell me
This is wrong
There's no heaven in the sky
Have you ever, have you ever, have you ever
Cared to scream.
First you steal my breath ha ha ha,
And now i'm short on trust,
I stand up for the test,
And then I lie down.
Oh to be wrong,
There's no heaven in the sky,
Have you ever,
Well here's your chance and you can't tell us,
This is wrong,
There's no heaven in the sky,
Have you ever, have you ever, have you ever
Cared to scream,
Cared to scream.
Let me take you down,
'Cos i feel divine,
Like some holy cow,
On a fallen shrine,
Like a waterfall,
Made of alcohol
Oh why, tell me why.
Waiting for a friend ah ha ha,
It's been a long time,
I'm waiting here again,
Such a long time.
Long, Long, Long,
Long, Long, long,
You, oh you bring me down,
You, you kill me,
You kill me,
You kill me.
