326 - Mark HOLLIS : un seul et unique chant toujours inégalé.

Impossible.
Car unique.
Impossible de ne pas évoquer ce murmure hors du temps.
De la difficile et douloureuse mise en interstice du silence.
Les mots et les sons divins et déchirants. Nos âmes et nos chairs éclatent.
Nous sommes mis à nu.

The Colour Of Spring
Forget our fate
The pedlar sings
Set up to sell my soul
I've lived a life for wealth to bring
And yet I'll gaze
The colour of spring
Immerse in that one moment
Left in love with everything
Soar the bridges
That I burnt before
One song among us all

Watershed
Come my love
Kick the line
Afield lies nothing but squalor to turn on
A song asale
Should have said so much
Makes it harder
The more you love
Gladdening eyes
Through slur
Emerge crucified
So frail
Should have said so much
Makes it harder
The more you love
A song asale
Sold heart
Should have said so much
Makes it harder
The more you love
A song asale
For the good has bled to dust
Departed
The morning sun

Inside Looking Out
Feel my skin Lord
Feel my luck tumbling down
Left no life no more
Turn my seasons turn
Lived in much younger times
Left no life no more
For me to shine

The Gift
So sold out
How dear you are
How on earth did you come to live as a clown
Close
Closed down
And here you are
Sun and then the shade
Sun eclipsed to shame
In youth you'd grown
Purest
Purest
Sail on
Cold
Burnt out
And fear you are
Gone
And now the shade
Sun eclipsed to shame

A Life (1895-1915)
Uniform
Dream cites freedom
Avow
Relent
Such suffering
Few certain
And here I lay

Westward Bound
Opaline through her hair
Born on an April tide
Glowing in the wonder of our first child
There my promise is
A spur
A rein
The world upon my back
The pressure upon this earth
Drought's heir
Sown my money
Sold my shirt
Sown my money
Migrate
Job on the threshing line
Mute I walk
Idle ground
Westward bound

The Daily Planet
Come far
Compared to who
Scoop the life you leech
Immune to ruse or rape's heredity
News first
Shall I grow no more than I'm bound
Enough of the pain
Come far
Compared to who
Fuel for the lies you read
Future depths
Collective leash
Who's first
Shall I grow no more than I'm bound
Enough of the pain
Whose curse
Shall I grow no more than I'm bound
Hurts to see
Over undertone
Shame
Last to laugh
No

A New Jerusalem
And I'm home again
But alone my child
For the emptiness of war remains
One among five
But I'm dead to love
A pawn the same
And I'm home again
Run along my child
For the water's blood
And so the sea
Summer unwinds
But no longer kind
Heaven burn me
Should I swear to fight once more
D'you see
Wise words
Wild words
