Après avoir séduit l’hexagone avec sa belle gueule, ses chansons romantiques, et sa voix sublime qui a donné à plus d’un(e) l'envie de manger beaucoup de yahourts et moult fromages, Chris Isaak a conquis l’Amérique avec « Wicked Game », le titre désormais culte que David Lynch a choisi pour la bande originale de son film « Sailor et Lula », sorti en 1990 et Palme d’or au festival de Cannes. Chris Isaak est né le 26 juin 1956 à Stockton, en Californie. Après ses études universitaires, le jeune homme devient un temps boxeur, puis surfeur, avant de fonder le groupe Silvertone avec le batteur Kenney Dale Johnson et le bassiste Rowland Salley. Silvertone écume tous les clubs et bars de San Fransisco, et finit par signer un contrat avec Warner Bros. Chris et sa bande sortent alors un premier disque, « Silvertone », en 1985. Fan d’Elvis et de Roy Orbison, Chris Isaak s'inspire de ses idoles en jouant avec brio au crooner, et en excellant dans la ballade rockabilly. Mais les premiers titres du chanteur ne vont pas tout de suite enflammer les foules en Amérique. C’est d’abord en France que Chris Isaak sera plébiscité par la critique comme par le public, grâce à un second album éponyme, dont le titre « Blue Hotel » campe en tête des charts hexagonaux pendant l’année 1987. Le troisième album, « Heart Shaped Wolrd », se fera de nouveau remarquer en France, notamment le hit « Kings of the highway », qui sera utilisé pour la pub institutionnelle spécial Produits Laitiers… Aux Etats Unis par contre, Chris Isaak ne marche toujours pas, même pour faire la promo des bricks de lait…Mais un jour, David Lynch choisit pour la bande originale de son film « Sailor et Lula », « Blue Spanish Sky » et surtout « Wicked Game », deux chansons de Chris que l’on pouvait déjà écouter sur « Heart Shaped World ». Dès lors, Chris Isaak est propulsé sur les devants de la scène et devient une super star Outre Atlantique, « Wicked Game » faisant un véritable triomphe. Dans les années 1990, Chris Isaak ne cessera plus alors d’enchaîner les succès, de « San Fransisco Day » (1993) à « Speak of the devil » (1998) en passant par « Forever blue » (1995). Le crooner continuera par la suite à participer à de nombreuses B.O de film : on retiendra notamment la sulfureuse chanson so rock’n’roll, « Baby did a bad bad thing », extraite de « Forever blue » et présente sur le dernier film de Kubrick, « Eyes Wide Shut ». Chris Isaak n’assure pas juste en musique puisqu’il a aussi campé plusieurs rôles pour le grand écran comme pour la télévision. On peut ainsi le retrouver dans « Le Silence des Agneaux » de Jonathan Demme (1990), « Twin Peaks-Fire Walk With Me » de David Lynch (1992), « Little Buddha » de Bernardo Bertolucci (1993), mais aussi dans les séries « Friends » (1996) et «Melrose Place» (1999). Chris a même fini par avoir sa propre série, « The Chris Isaak Show », où il joue de 2000 à 2004, son propre personnage en compagnie des musiciens de Silvertone. Fin 2005, Chris Isaak est de retour dans les bacs sur le nouvel album de Heather Nova, avec qui il chante « Wicked Game ». En mars 2006, Chris Isaak est nouveau de sortie avec un « Greatest Hits » à se procurer absolument, si vous ne connaissez pas encore le beau gosse crooner des 80's et 90's... The world was on fire No one could save me but you. It's strange what desire will make foolish people do I never dreamed that I'd meet somebody like you I never dreamed that I'd knew somebody like you No, I don't want to fall in love [This world is only gonna break your heart] No, I don't want to fall in love [This girl is only gonna break your heart] With you With you What a wicked game to play To make me feel this way What a wicked thing to do To let me dream of you What a wicked thing to say You never felt this way What a wicked thing to do To make me dream of you No, I don't want to fall in love [This girl is only gonna break your heart] And I don't want to fall in love [This girl is only gonna break your heart] [World] was on fire No one could save me but you Strange [world] desire make foolish people do I never dreamed that I'd love somebody like you I never dreamed that I'd lose somebody like you And I wanna fall in love [This girl is only gonna break your heart] And I wanna fall in love [This girl is only gonna break your heart] With you With you Nobody loves no one This girl is only gonna break your heart] And I don't want to fall in love [This girl is only gonna break your heart] [World] was on fire No one could save me but you Strange [world] desire make foolish people do I never dreamed that I'd love somebody like you

Marvin Pentz Gay Jr naît le 2 avril 1939 à Washington, DC. Fils de pasteur, il fréquente régulièrement l'église, où il s'exerce à la musique en chantant et en pratiquant le piano et la batterie. Ainsi la musique est devenue un échappatoire à la vie cauchemardesque qui régne alors dans son foyer (son père le battait régulièrement). Au cours de son adolescence, il intègre plusieurs groupes comme The Rainbows, The Moonglows ou The Marquees. Il fera ainsi la rencontre d'Harvey Fuqua, un producteur qui aura une forte influence sur lui. Cependant Marvin Gaye se détache peu à peu de ces groupes en enregistrant quelques titres qui n'obtiendront jamais de succès. Le déclic se produit en 1961, l'année où il parvient à être signé par la maison de disque Motown et rencontre les plus grandes stars de la soul. Le patron du label, Berry Gordy, le prend sous son aile. Ooh, now let's get down tonight Baby I'm hot just like an oven I need some lovin' And baby, I can't hold it much longer It's getting stronger and stronger And when I get that feeling I want Sexual Healing Sexual Healing, oh baby Makes me feel so fine Helps to relieve my mind Sexual Healing baby, is good for me Sexual Healing is something that's good for me Whenever blue tear drops are falling And my emotional stability is leaving me There is something I can do I can get on the telephone and call you up baby, and Honey I know you'll be there to relieve me The love you give to me will free me If you don't know the things you're dealing I can tell you, darling, that it's Sexual Healing Get up, Get up, Get up, Get up, let's make love tonight Wake up, Wake up, Wake up, Wake up, 'cos you do it right Baby I got sick this morning A sea was storming inside of me Baby I think I'm capsizing The waves are rising and rising And when I get that feeling I want Sexual Healing Sexual Healing is good for me Makes me feel so fine, it's such a rush Helps to relieve the mind, and it's good for us Sexual Healing, baby, is good for me Sexual Healing is something that's good for me And it's good for me and it's good to me My baby ohhh Come take control, just grab a hold Of my body and mind soon we'll be making it Honey, oh we're feeling fine You're my medicine open up and let me in Darling, you're so great I can't wait for you to operate I can't wait for you to operate When I get this feeling, I need Sexual Healing (ad lib)

The Eagles est un groupe californien issu de la scène sud californienne de la fin des années '60, en compagnie des Jackson Browne, Warren Zevon et aux influences country et Bluegrass, pionnier du Country rock, formé en 1971. On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair Warm smell of colitas rising up through the air Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light My head grew heavy, and my sight grew dimmer I had to stop for the night There she stood in the doorway; I heard the mission bell And I was thinking to myself, 'This could be Heaven or this could be Hell' Then she lit up a candle and she showed me the way There were voices down the corridor, I thought I heard them say... Welcome to the Hotel California Such a lovely place (such a lovely place) Plenty of room at the Hotel California Any time of year, you can find it here Her mind is Tiffany-twisted, She got the Mercedes Benz She's got a lot of pretty, pretty boys, that she calls friends How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat. Some dance to remember, some dance to forget So I called up the Captain, 'Please bring me my wine' He said, 'We haven't had that spirit here since 1969' And still those voices are calling from far away Wake you up in the middle of the night Just to hear them say... Welcome to the Hotel California Such a lovely Place (such a lovely face) They livin' it up at the Hotel California What a nice surprise, bring your alibis Mirrors on the ceiling, the pink champagne on ice And she said 'We are all just prisoners here, of our own device' And in the master's chambers, they gathered for the feast They stab it with their steely knives, but they just can't kill the beast Last thing I remember, I was running for the door I had to find the passage back to the place I was before 'Relax' said the nightman, We are programed to receive. You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave

Noel Hogan et Mike Hogan, deux frères de Limerick, formèrent le groupe en 1989 en compagnie du batteur Fergal Lawler. À la recherche d'une chanteuse, ils auditionnèrent Dolores O'Riordan qui rejoint immédiatement le groupe ; celle-ci écrit (en se basant sur une maquette existante du groupe) le titre « Linger ». Le nom original du groupe était « The Cranberry Saw Us ». Leur cassette audio amateur se vendit très bien localement, et le groupe enregistra rapidement une autre cassette qui remporta un intérêt important tant au niveau local que des critiques. Après avoir discuté avec plusieurs importants labels musicaux, le groupe signa avec Island Records et enregistra « Uncertain », leur single de lancement, qui fut un échec. Après s'être séparés de leur manager, les Cranberries enregistrèrent « Everybody Else Is Doing It, So Why Can’t We? ». Le deuxième single, « Linger », fut un énorme succès à la fois au Royaume-Uni et aux États-Unis. Le titre « Dreams » devint aussi un hit, atteignant la 14e place du top 50 aux États-Unis. En 1994, grâce à « No Need to Argue » et surtout au tube « Zombie », au texte très politique puisqu'il dénonce les ravages de la guerre civile en Irlande du Nord. Il faut cependant savoir qu'en fait les prises de position de Dolores O'Riordan, soit disant engagées, ne résultent uniquement que d'une mauvaise interprétation des journalistes. En effet, Dolores O'Riordan, élevée dans un milieu catholique traditionaliste, a parfois fait preuve de naïveté en déclarant qu'elle n'avait jamais vu de noir avant d'aller à Londres pour la première fois ou bien en soutenant la peine de mort pour les pédophiles. Malgré cela, en 2004, les Cranberries annoncèrent qu'ils allaient prendre un peu de temps pour poursuivre chacun leurs carrières individuelles. Dolores enregistra un album solo (sortie prévue début 2006), et Noel démarra l'enregistrement d'un album guitare, incluant notamment deux chansons lancées en novembre 2004 sur le service Européen de téléchargement musical « iTunes » sous le nom « Mono Band ». D'autre part, Dolores chante la chanson titre du film « La Passion du Christ » : « Ave Maria ». Another head hangs lowly, Child is slowly taken. And the violence caused such silence, Who are we mistaken ? But you see, it's not me, it's not my family. In your head, in your head they are fighting, With their tanks and their bombs, And their bombs and their guns. In your head, in your head, they are crying... In your head, in your head, Zombie, zombie, zombie, Hey, hey, hey. What's in your head, In your head, Zombie, zombie, zombie ? Hey, hey, hey, hey, oh, dou, dou, dou, dou, dou... Another mother's breakin', Heart is taking over. When the vi'lence causes silence, We must be mistaken. It's the same old theme since nineteen-sixteen. In your head, in your head they're still fighting, With their tanks and their bombs, And their bombs and their guns. In your head, in your head, they are dying... In your head, in your head, Zombie, zombie, zombie, Hey, hey, hey. What's in your head, In your head, Zombie, zombie, zombie ? Hey, hey, hey, hey, oh, oh, oh, Oh, oh, oh, oh, hey, oh, ya, ya-a...

Adams voyage beaucoup durant son enfance, d'Europe au Moyen-Orient, en suivant son père, diplomate. Il a 17 ans quand il tente sa chance auprès du label A&M en expédiant une démo. Il signe son premier contrat dans la foulée. Ces deux premiers albums sortis en 1980 et 1981 ne connaissent qu'un succès d'estime, mais dès 1983, et son album Cuts Like a Knife, Bryan Adams parvient à lancer sa carrière à un niveau international. Il confirme l'année suivante (1984) avec son album référence : Reckless. Quatre hits sur Cuts Like a Knife, cinq sur Reckless, Bryan Adams s'impose dès lors comme un faiseur de hits... A noter l'importance de son producteur Bob Clearmountain. Compositeur reconnu, il a écrit des hits pour des artistes comme Joe Cocker ("When the Night Comes" en 1988), mais aussi pour des bandes originales de films. Citons Heaven en 1982 pour le film A Night In Heaven, Drive All Night en 1989 pour Pink Cadillac, Everything I Do (I Do It For You) en 1991 pour Robin des bois : Prince des voleurs, All For Love en 1993 pour Les Trois Mousquetaires, Have You Ever Really Loved A Woman? en 1995 pour Don Juan DeMarco et It Ain't Over Yet en 2005 pour Racing Stripes, notamment. Outre sa passion pour le rock, il s'est investi dans plusieurs autres causes, notamment dans la protection de l'environnement et la lutte contre le cancer du sein.

ABBA est une formation musicale suédoise fondée à Stockholm en novembre 1970 par Agnetha Fälkstog, Benny Andersson, Björn Ulvaeus et Anni-Frid Lyngstad (dite Frida). Les initiales des 4 prénoms formant le palindrome ABBA, ce n'est qu'en 1976 que le désormais célèbre logo (avec un B inversé) sera utilisé (ce logo est un ambigramme).

Can you hear the drums Fernando? I remember long ago another starry night like this In the firelight Fernando You were humming to yourself and softly strumming your guitar I could hear the distant drums And sounds of bugle calls were coming from afar They were closer now Fernando Every hour every minute seemed to last eternally I was so afraid Fernando We were young and full of life and none of us prepared to die And I'm not ashamed to say The roar of guns and cannons almost made me cry There was something in the air that night The stars were bright, Fernando They were shining there for you and me For liberty, Fernando Though I never thought that we could lose There's no regret If I had to do the same again I would, my friend, Fernando Now we're old and grey Fernando And since many years I haven't seen a rifle in your hand Can you hear the drums Fernando? Do you still recall the frightful night we crossed the Rio Grande? I can see it in your eyes How proud you were to fight for freedom in this land There was something in the air that night The stars were bright, Fernando They were shining there for you and me For liberty, Fernando Though I never thought that we could lose There's no regret If I had to do the same again I would, my friend, Fernando There was something in the air that night The stars were bright, Fernando They were shining there for you and me For liberty, Fernando Though I never thought that we could lose There's no regret If I had to do the same again I would, my friend, Fernando Yes, if I had to do the same again I would, my friend, Fernando...

Chiquitita, tell me what's wrong You're enchained by your own sorrow In your eyes there is no hope for tomorrow How I hate to see you like this There is no way you can deny it I can see that you're oh so sad, so quiet Chiquitita, tell me the truth I'm a shoulder you can cry on Your best friend, I'm the one you must rely on You were always sure of yourself Now I see you've broken a feather I hope we can patch it up together Chiquitita, you and I know How the heartaches come and they go and the scars they're leaving You'll be dancing once again and the pain will end You will have no time for grieving Chiquitita, you and I cry But the sun is still in the sky and shining above you Let me hear you sing once more like you did before Sing a new song, Chiquitita Try once more like you did before Sing a new song, Chiquitita So the walls came tumbling down And your love's a blown out candle All is gone and it seems too hard to handle Chiquitita, tell me the truth There is no way you can deny it I see that you're oh so sad, so quiet Chiquitita, you and I know How the heartaches come and they go and the scars they're leaving You'll be dancing once again and the pain will end You will have no time for grieving Chiquitita, you and I cry But the sun is still in the sky and shining above you Let me hear you sing once more like you did before Sing a new song, Chiquitita Try once more like you did before Sing a new song, Chiquitita Try once more like you did before Sing a new song, Chiquitita

I wasn't jealous before we met Now every woman I see is a potential threat And I'm possessive, it isn't nice You've heard me saying that smoking was my only vice But now it isn't true Now everything is new And all I've learned has overturned I beg of you... Don't go wasting your emotion Lay all your love on me It was like shooting a sitting duck A little smalltalk, a smile and baby I was stuck I still don't know what you've done with me A grown-up woman should never fall so easily I feel a kind of fear When I don't have you near Unsatisfied, I skip my pride I beg you dear... Don't go wasting your emotion Lay all your love on me Don't go sharing your devotion Lay all your love on me I've had a few little love affairs They didn't last very long and they've been pretty scarce I used to think that was sensible It makes the truth even more incomprehensible 'Cause everything is new And everything is you And all I've learned has overturned What can I do... Don't go wasting your emotion Lay all your love on me Don't go sharing your devotion Lay all your love on me (repeat 2x and fade)

Half past twelve And I'm watching the late show in my flat all alone How I hate to spend the evening on my own Autumn winds Blowing outside the window as I look around the room And it makes me so depressed to see the phone There's not a soul out there No one to hear my prayer Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight Won't somebody help me chase these shadows away Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight Take me through the darkness to the break of the day Movie stars Find the end of the rainbow, with that fortune to win It's so different from the world I'm living in Tired of T.V. I open the window and I gaze into the night But there's nothing there to see, no one in sight There's not a soul out there No one to hear my prayer Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight Won't somebody help me chase these shadows away Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight Take me through the darkness to the break of the day Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight... Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight... There's not a soul out there No one to hear my prayer Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight Won't somebody help me chase these shadows away Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight Take me through the darkness to the break of the day Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight Won't somebody help me chase these shadows away Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight Take me through the darkness to the break of the day

Cette nostalgie à l'égard d'ABBA prendra rapidement le nom d'« ABBA-revival » dès 1989, à l'occasion des premiers concerts de Björn Again, un groupe australien clonant avec humour l'apparence, ainsi que le répertoire d'ABBA. Rapidement, de nombreux autres artistes rendirent hommage à ABBA en reprenant certains de leurs titres. En 1992, alors qu'un retour est en train de voir le jour dans les clubs de Londres et Sydney, le groupe anglais Erasure s'illustra avec un mini-album hommage à ABBA (intitulé Abba-Esque) qui se classa n° 1 dans plusieurs pays européens, dont la Suède et l'Angleterre. Deux ans plus tard, en 1994, les films australiens Muriel (dans lequel la jeune héroïne écoute inlassablement ABBA) et Priscilla, folle du désert (The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert) (dans lequel la musique et les mimiques d'ABBA sont utilisées et tendrement parodiées dans un spectacle travesti culte de Sydney) mirent un autre coup d'accélérateur au regain de notoriété d'ABBA. Tout au long des années 1990, la vague « ABBA-revival » ne cessera de s'amplifier au fil des reprises (A-Teens, entre autres), rééditions et compilations diverses (voir la section Discographie), pour culminer en 1999, à l'occasion d'une comédie musicale événement, intitulée Mamma Mia!. Le 6 avril 1999, 25 ans jour pour jour après sa victoire au Concours Eurovision de la chanson, ABBA y refaisait indirectement surface avec 23 de ses chansons génialement insérées. Selon le pays, Mamma Mia! est présentée en anglais, en suédois, en espagnol, en coréen et en allemand. Le spectacle est retentissant de vie, de couleurs, d'humour et fait revivre les grands succès d'ABBA au travers d'une comédie sentimentale écrite par Catherine Johnson et produite par Judy Craymer et trois des membres de ABBA, en l'occurrence Anni-Frid, Benny et Björn. À ce jour, Mamma Mia! fut présentée devant 20 millions de spectateurs répartis dans seize villes internationales. Début 2006 apparaît un groupe allemand, Abba Gold, reprenant point pour point la scénographie, les costumes et le répertoire d'ABBA et font revivre sur scène le groupe mythique à s'y méprendre. Concerts à l'Olympia en juillet 2006 et tournée en Europe.

I don't wanna talk About the things we've gone through Though it's hurting me Now it's history I've played all my cards And that's what you've done too Nothing more to say No more ace to play The winner takes it all The loser standing small Beside the victory That's her destiny I was in your arms Thinking I belonged there I figured it made sense Building me a fence Building me a home Thinking I'd be strong there But I was a fool Playing by the rules The gods may throw a dice Their minds as cold as ice And someone way down here Loses someone dear The winner takes it all The loser has to fall It's simple and it's plain Why should I complain. But tell me does she kiss Like I used to kiss you? Does it feel the same When she calls your name? Somewhere deep inside You must know I miss you But what can I say Rules must be obeyed The judges will decide The likes of me abide Spectators of the show Always staying low The game is on again A lover or a friend A big thing or a small The winner takes it all I don't wanna talk If it makes you feel sad And I understand You've come to shake my hand I apologize If it makes you feel bad Seeing me so tense No self-confidence

I have a dream, a song to sing To help me cope with anything If you see the wonder of a fairy tale You can take the future even if you fail I believe in angels Something good in everything I see I believe in angels When I know the time is right for me I'll cross the stream - I have a dream I have a dream, a fantasy To help me through reality And my destination makes it worth the while Pushing through the darkness still another mile I believe in angels Something good in everything I see I believe in angels When I know the time is right for me I'll cross the stream - I have a dream I'll cross the stream - I have a dream I have a dream, a song to sing To help me cope with anything If you see the wonder of a fairy tale You can take the future even if you fail I believe in angels Something good in everything I see I believe in angels When I know the time is right for me I'll cross the stream - I have a dream I'll cross the stream - I have a dream

No more carefree laughter Silence ever after Walking through an empty house, tears in my eyes Here is where the story ends, this is goodbye Knowing me, knowing you (ah-haa) There is nothing we can do Knowing me, knowing you (ah-haa) We just have to face it, this time we're through (This time we're through, this time we're through This time we're through, we're really through) Breaking up is never easy, I know but I have to go (I have to go this time I have to go, this time I know) Knowing me, knowing you It's the best I can do Mem'ries (mem'ries), good days (good days), bad days (bad days) They'll be (they'll be), with me (with me) always (always) In these old familiar rooms children would play Now there's only emptiness, nothing to say Knowing me, knowing you (ah-haa) There is nothing we can do Knowing me, knowing you (ah-haa) We just have to face it, this time we're through (This time we're through, this time we're through This time we're through, we're really through) Breaking up is never easy, I know but I have to go (I have to go this time I have to go, this time I know) Knowing me, knowing you It's the best I can do

bonsoir j'espere que ta journee c'est bien passe je te souhaite de passe une tres belle soiree a demain avec toute mon amitie bisous

L'automne Salut ! bois couronnés d'un reste de verdure ! Feuillages jaunissants sur les gazons épars ! Salut, derniers beaux jours ! Le deuil de la nature Convient à la douleur et plaît à mes regards ! Je suis d'un pas rêveur le sentier solitaire, J'aime à revoir encor, pour la dernière fois, Ce soleil pâlissant, dont la faible lumière Perce à peine à mes pieds l'obscurité des bois ! Oui, dans ces jours d'automne où la nature expire, A ses regards voilés, je trouve plus d'attraits, C'est l'adieu d'un ami, c'est le dernier sourire Des lèvres que la mort va fermer pour jamais ! Ainsi, prêt à quitter l'horizon de la vie, Pleurant de mes longs jours l'espoir évanoui, Je me retourne encore, et d'un regard d'envie Je contemple ses biens dont je n'ai pas joui ! Terre, soleil, vallons, belle et douce nature, Je vous dois une larme aux bords de mon tombeau ; L'air est si parfumé ! la lumière est si pure ! Aux regards d'un mourant le soleil est si beau ! Je voudrais maintenant vider jusqu'à la lie Ce calice mêlé de nectar et de fiel ! Au fond de cette coupe où je buvais la vie, Peut-être restait-il une goutte de miel ? Peut-être l'avenir me gardait-il encore Un retour de bonheur dont l'espoir est perdu ? Peut-être dans la foule, une âme que j'ignore Aurait compris mon âme, et m'aurait répondu ? ... La fleur tombe en livrant ses parfums au zéphire ; A la vie, au soleil, ce sont là ses adieux ; Moi, je meurs; et mon âme, au moment qu'elle expire, S'exhale comme un son triste et mélodieux. KISOUS KATHIALOVE
