AleX Xmas miX 2007
Toujours les incontournables comme Rufus ou Bjork et puis des petits nouveaux comme Andrew Bird ou Alex Beaupain.
Voici le détail des morceaux choisis cette année.
If you're reading this page chances are you're listening at the 2007 Xmas miX. I hope you'll enjoy this year's selection which is less dance but more acoustic and a bit melancholy... I lost someone very dear this year and thus I listened to a lot of calm and sad music...
You'll hear the usual suspects like Rufus, Air, and Bjork and new comers like Andrew Bird or Alex Beaupain.
Here is the detail of the selection:
- Track 01 Intro 1 'Welcome' (0.10)
-
Track 02 Intro 2 'Baroque' (0.17) -
Track 03 Intro 3 'Sunrise Sunset' Claudine Longet (0.34)- Claudine Longet est une chanteuse française qui a connu ses heures de gloire en californie dans les années soixante. Ces chansons acidulées sont très mièvres ou lounge au choix. Elle apparait et chante dans 'The Party' de Blake Edwards aux côtés de Peter Sellers.
- Track 04 'La Bastille', BOF(OST of movie) Les chansons d'Amour, Alex Beaupain (3.24)

One of my favorite movies this year and a great OST.
'Il pleut des cordes sur le génie
De la place de la Bastille
Nous marchons sous un ciel gris
Percé par des milliers d’aiguilles
Il pleut des cordes sur le génie
Les nuages trop lourds s’abandonnent
De l’eau pour les gens de Paris
Pour l’ange nu sur la colonne
A l’horizon de nos fenêtres
Plus rien ne bouge, plus rien ne vit
Comme Paris semble disparaître
Dilué dans de l’eau de pluie
A l’horizon le ciel défait
L’ange ruisselant se dessine
On voudrait s’aimer à jamais
Sous cette pluie que rien ne termine
Il pleut des cordes sur le génie
De la place de la Bastille
Boire du thé tout l’après-midi
De ces dimanches de camomille
Il pleut des cordes sur le génie
Qui aurait cru que si peu d’eau
Ferait fuir les gens de Paris
Laissant l’ange trop seul et trop haut
A l’horizon de nos fenêtres
Plus rien ne bouge, plus rien ne vit
Comme Paris semble disparaître
Dilué dans de l’eau de pluie
A l’horizon le ciel défait
L’ange ruisselant se dessine
On voudrait s’aimer à jamais
Sous cette pluie que rien ne termine
Il pleut des cordes sur le génie
De la place de la Bastille
Nous nous couchons avant minuit
Dans des draps chauds qu’on éparpille
Il pleut des cordes sur le génie
On sort des repas de famille
L’ange ruisselant dans la nuit
Déploie ses ailes sur la Bastille'

- Track 05 'Bang Bang', Nancy Sinatra (2.40)
- 'I was five and he was six
We rode on horses made of sticks
He wore black and I wore white
He would always win the fight
Bang bang
He shot me down, bang bang
I hit the ground , bang bang
That awful sound, bang bang
My baby shot me down
Seasons came and changed the time
When I grew up, I called him mine
He would always laugh and say
Remember when we used to play
Bang bang
I shot you down, bang bang
You hit the ground , bang bang
That awful sound, bang bang
I used to shoot you down
Music played and people sang
Just for me the church bells rang
Now he's gone I don't know why
And till this day some times I cry
He didn't even say goodbye
He didn't take the time to lie
Bang bang
He shot me down, bang bang
I hit the ground , bang bang
That awful sound, bang bang
My baby shot me down.'
- Track 06 BOF OST Shortbus, 'Upside Down' Scott Matthew (3.19)
- Another of my favorite movies this year, great music!
- Un autre de mes films favoris cette année, musique superbe!
- I walk a tight rope
and live with the high hope
that somehow we still feel the same
through this catastrophe
it's quietly telling me 'welcome'
-there's that word again
for i don't care if the world's upside down
if you're lost or you're found
i know my feet will stay far from the ground
if you'd just stick around
i know the shots you call gentle
'cause i could fall and break
you'll hear what they say
i read between the lines
cuts like a hate crime
and tell me today's not the day
for i don't care if the world's upside down
if you're lost or you're found
i know my feet will stay far from the ground
if you'd just stick around
you hit a high note
it comes like a cyclone
and tell me today's not the day
i don't care if the world's upside down
if you're lost or i'm found
i know my feet will stay far from the ground
if you'd just stick around
-with me'
- Track 07 'Heart of Glass', Nouvelle Vague (3.35)
- When I love a song I try and find other versions of it. This one is by nouvelle Vague a very good French Band. Heart of Glass is a mythical song originally sung by Blondie..
- Quand J'aime une chanson j'aime bien chercher des versions inédites et différentes, voici le mythique 'Heart of Glass' de Blondie par Nouvelle Vague.
- 'Once I had a love and it was a gas
Soon turned out had a heart of glass
Seemed like the real thing, only to find much o' mistrust
Love's gone behind
Once I had a love and it was divine
Soon found out I was losing my mind
It seemed like the real thing but I was so blind
Much o' mistrust
Love's gone behind
In between what I find is pleasing and I'm feeling fine
Love is so confusing, there's no peace of mind
If I fear I'm losing you
It's just no good, you teasing like you do
Once I had a love and it was a gas Soon turned out had a heart of glass
Seemed like the real thing, only to find much o' mistrust
Love's gone behind
Lost inside
Adorable illusion and I cannot hide
I'm the one you're using please don't push me aside
We coulda made it cruising yeah
La, La, La, La, La, La, La, La, La, La La
La, La, La, La, La, La, La, La, La, La La
Yeah, riding high on love's true bluish light
Ooh, oh
Ooh, oh
Ooh, oh
Ooh, oh
Once I had a love and it was a gas
Soon turned out to be a pain in the ass
Seemed like the real thing only to find much o' mistrust
Love's gone behind
Ooh, oh
Ooh, oh
Ooh, oh
Ooh, oh'
- Track 08 'Soda Shop' by Jay Brannan BOF (OST) movie Shortbus (3.07)
- see the video here
The sidewalk is rushing at my head again
I’m lying on the street in the rain and wind
From doing forward rolls down Avenue A
With my guitar on my back don’t let it end this way
Somehow I dialed my cell
I didn’t know I could get service in hell
How quickly can you get here
Don’t know where I am dear
Finally the world actually seems to be revolving around me
Chorus:
Shoo-be-doo-be-doo-wop
I overdid it at the soda shop
Thanks for being my girl at the
I don’t know when to stop sock hop
You held my head over the edge of the bed
I remember it now but at the time I thought I was dead
You put a pan there and held back my hair
How could I repay you for saving me and my hardwood floor?
Chorus:
Shoo-be-doo-be-doo-wop
I overdid it at the soda shop
Thanks for being my girl at the
I don’t know when to stop sock hop
And when the world stops spinning ’round
I picked up pan above the ground
I read my upheaves much like tea leaves
They said it’s over so get sober or you’ll die….
Again……
Chorus:
Shoo-be-doo-be-doo-wop
I overdid it at the soda shop
Thanks for being my girl at the
I don’t know when to stop sock hop

Track 17 'The Crying Game' by Jimmy Scott
I know all there is to know about the crying game
I've had my share of the crying game
First there are kisses, then there are sighs
And then before you know where you are
You're sayin goodbye
One day soon I'm gonna tell the moon about the crying game
And if he knows maybe hell explain
Why there are heartaches, why there are tears
And what to do to stop feeling blue
When love disappears
I know all there is to know about the crying game
I've had my share of the crying game
First there are kisses, then there are sighs
And then before you know where you are
Youre sayin goodbye
Dont want no more of the crying game
Dont want no more of the crying game
Dont want no more of the crying game
Dont want no more of the crying game
Track 18 'Ma mémoire sale' by Alex Beaupain - sung by Louis Garrel (4,19)
Lave,
Ma mémoire sale dans son fleuve de boue
Du bout de ta langue nettoie-moi partout
Et ne laisse pas la moindre trace,
De tout, ce qui me lie et qui me lasse
…
Alors
brûle, brûle quand tu t’enlises dans mon grand lit de glace
Mon lit comme une banquise qui fond quand tu m’enlaces
Plus rien n’est triste, plus rien n’est grave
Si j’ai ton corps comme un torrent de lave
