Londinium (1996, Island)
J'ai beau essayer, je ne parviens pas à retranscrire en mots la tristesse que font naître la perfection et la richesse sonores de ce morceau, sa construction savamment orchestrée allant du calme contemplatif à la rage sourde, ses chants passant du murmure désenchanté au rap mélancolique. Envol de violon, vent de synthé, cris nocturnes, pulsations, déferlements, sirènes, infrasons... Les villes ont beau être bruyantes, grouillantes et agitées, le sentiment de solitude n'en est que plus douloureux.

Paroles
Energy from every pore
Make what you will
Are you with or without
The force cannot be blamed
Just the hunger or greed
Supplying the ugly drive
Dirty water no profit to supply
That round travelled far too long
In every direction you turn touch fire and you burn
Earn self recognition over all the preoccupying nonsense
I plead my inner sense savour this aroma of a new experience
High intelligence bound for the underground we burrow deep down
I originate like the word individual visual visionary I vary and all others see my eye view
So multiply through the big bad city with a human emotion running wild
Not fit for the child of all ages
Accelerate speed of life moving closer to the centre enter at ya own
If ya will still the hustling burstling busy bee hive is alive
And kicking I'm picking the moment I gotta get away from this
Monotonous call the capital 'L' loving every minute that I'm in it.
