Tu écoutes trop de musique

La chanson “I Need It” de Frank Ocean, sortie à l’origine dans “The Lonny Breaux Collection”, est vraiment tout pour moi, je peux l’écouter en boucle. Elle me parle musicalement et les paroles sont un hymne au fantasme que je me faisais de la relation amoureuse idéale et, il faut bien le dire, idéalisée. C'est ce genre de titre que j’écoute avec une certaine amertume teintée d’un fond d’espoir.

One winter morning I went for a drive | I stopped somewhere between June and July | I love these warmer days | But maybe I can't see that the snow's still falling | I only see the gift my heart just brought me | (Merry Christmas babe) That's what she said | She didn't have to do much, but she made me smile | December in Manhattan feels like South Beach now | I love my baby, oh yes I do | It ain't about you giving anything, as long as you're my everything | Cause lady what could you give to me better than what you've been giving me | Just keep talking in my ear, cause I need it | And tell me you'll be right here if I need ya | The greatest present you could give is the present (oh, I need it) | It's just a regular morning, I'm a regular guy | Taking the train to my 9 to 9 |(But something's different today)| I had an envelope sitting right next to my breakfast | And it's from my baby, not the bill collectors | (Happy Birthday Baby) | Then it said... I know we don't got much but baby we got us | And after you get off, we gon' make sweet love | Now go and get that cake (oh yeah) | It ain't about you giving anything, as long as you're my everything | Cause lady what could you give to me better than what you've been giving me | Just keep talking in my ear, cause I need it | And tell me you'll be right here if I need ya | The greatest present you could give is the present (oh, I need it) | One day the whole world will hear me sing | Then I'mma run and buy you those things | But right now, three months pay barely gets me a diamond baby | But one day I'mma buy you that ring | Oh | Just keep talking in my ear, cause I need it | And tell me you'll be right there if I need ya | The greatest present you could give is the present (oh, I need it) | (Nothing but everything) | (I don't need anything, long as you're my everything) |
