“
Revealing now the poetry of my heart
Think birds in flight and you will start to come close
As faces come from the darkness familiar
To greet you hello again
They pluck those strings and sing those refrains I know so well, and hold so close
Now follow these birds faithfully, keeping those faces in mind
Over rivers and dales and soft greens until we come to the edge of the vast ocean
The biggest sea you may imagine and more
Lift your hand and let those birds soar with this sweet music”
Extrait de POETRY WITH MY HEART, premier poème du recueil BLINKING WITH FISTS de Billy CORGAN paru en 2004.
C’est à travers le poète et non le musicien que j’ai d’abord découvert Billy Corgan….
C’était à la grande époque des SMASHING PUMPKINS…..
….et du slogan rageur de Corgan :
“Despite all my rage
I’m still just a rat in a cage”
Beaucoup d’eau a coulé sous les ponts depuis…. Pour Billy et pour moi….Le milieu des années 90 est loin……
Il a tenté une carrière solo, il a formé un autre groupe, il annonce régulièrement la reformation des Pumpkins.... leur prochain album est prévu pour juillet...... Mais surtout il écrit…..des recueils de poésie….. et des chansons aussi….
un petit résumé pour les curieux....

Mais surtout ..... laissez vous emporter dans l'univers rock aux multiples facettes d'un artiste torturé et généreux.....
Suivez le guide....
ma préféré du moment :
BULLET WITH BUTTERFLY WINGS
sur le meilleur album des Smashing
Mellon Collie & The Infinite SadnessA l'époque où Billy avait encore des cheveux......

"Bullet With Butterfly Wings"
The world is a vampire, sent to drain
Secret destroyers, hold you up to the flames
And what do I get, for my pain?
Betrayed desires, and a piece of the game
Even though I know - I suppose I'll show
All my cool and cold - like old job
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
Then someone will say what is lost can never be saved
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
Now I'm naked, nothing but an animal
But can you fake it, for just one more show?
And what do you want?
I want to change
And what have you got, when you feel the same?
Even though I know - I suppose I'll show
All my cool and cold - like old job
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
Then someone will say what is lost can never be saved
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
Tell me I'm the only one
Tell me there's no other one
Jesus was the only son, yeah.
Tell me I'm the chosen one
Jesus was the only son for you
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
And someone will say what is lost can never be saved
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
Despite all my rage am I still just a rat in a-
Despite all my rage am I still just a rat in a-
Despite all my rage am I still just a rat in a cage
Tell me I'm the only one
Tell me there's no other one
Jesus was the only son for you
[x4]
And I still beleive that I cannot be saved
Mellon Collie.... qui ouvre l'album et lui donne son nom.....
Une ballade au piano sans parole.....
Parce que même un rockeur déjanté peut aimer le piano.....
