Haley Bonar: Big Star (mp3)
You can dress yourself up, put on a little bit of make-up.
Go out and get a hair-cut and stumble out into the morning.
They'll all hate you tomorrow when no one buys your single, and when you fall we'll look the other way.
They're gonna buy you airplanes and fly over the oceans and give you the loving that you need.
You're gonna be a big star waiting... on a big wish I'm making.
They're gonna call you baby, treat you like the symbol of something that they'll never understand.
I'm gonna read your stories, spend springtime in the gardens, tell my children all about the days.
When I can't make you happy. I can't make you money. I can only fold your laundry.
You're gonna be a big star waiting... on a big wish I'm making...

A tout juste 24 ans, l'américaine Haley Bonar (oui c'est son vrai nom, on évitera donc tout jeu de mots de mauvais goût) vient déjà de sortir son troisième album, Big Star. Originaire du Dakota du Sud, sa musique tend donc plus vers une alt-country chère à Neko Case que vers la sunshine/psyché pop californienne ou vers le son new-yorkais.
Passant sans aucune difficulté du pop/rock de Green Eyed Boy ou Better Half au folk souvent tubesque (Big Star, Something Great et ses superbes voix doublées) sans oublier un Little Maiden Gin en solo au piano, Haley Bonar nous conte tout simplement la vie, l'amour (le très calme Tiger Boy final) ou l'Amérique "on the road" (Highway 16, dans la plus pure tradition du rock US) sans nous cacher qu'elle est une femme de caractère (Queen Of Everything).
You say I talk like a sailor and you don't like my tone,
well get off my ship cause I'm going home.
well get off my ship cause I'm going home.
Qui sait? Peut-être que bientôt la comète Haley deviendra une grande star.

Quoi de mieux qu'une jolie jeune femme? Et bien trois jolies jeunes femmes évidemment! Mais attention, sous leurs belles robes à fleurs, leurs mélodies country enchanteresses et des choeurs à tomber par terre les Chapin Sisters cachent des textes à vous donner des frissons dans le dos.
Don't wanna live sad and lonely, no, no.
So go get a rock and just stone me, whoa whoa.
Have mercy on me.
It's the end, don't you see?
Kill me now, oh, kill me now.
So go get a rock and just stone me, whoa whoa.
Have mercy on me.
It's the end, don't you see?
Kill me now, oh, kill me now.
