First date

Je vous propose aujourd’hui de découvrir ou de redécouvrir le titre « First Date » extrait du nouvel album « Love & Money » composé par Katie et Tim son bassiste de longue date.

He said, « Everyone is getting married »
I said, « Well, don’t let that force the matter »
I know the way these days can go
We’re gonna get carried away


Oh, ’cause when the sea is strong
And when the vibe is good
And the music plays
And you’re looking over in all your sea surging ways
He’s getting carried away
Somewhere up high

I like the way that he surfs
And he wants to go on a silent retreat
I told him I was getting into ballet
Now I’m getting carried away, ooh


Look, it’s in every day living
If you wanna make it in romance
Something will need to start giving
Or how are you gonna make it fit between
The tempos and the songs and all that overthinking?


Gonna be as careful about finding him
As careful as I am about finding songs
I hope you’ll be the same
But I hope you’ll get a little carried away
I hope you’ll get the same strange ways
Now we’re getting carried away
Among the light of the stars and the light of the sun
Silver in the clouds
Moving his blood ’round and ’round
I hope he’ll dream of our future days
Now I’m getting carried away
I’m getting carried away
I’m getting carried away

Reefs

Bonjour à tous,

On se retrouve pour notre traditionnel rdv pour écouter les nouveaux titres de l’album de Katie. Aujourd’hui je vous propose Reefs.

Mary’s written on the forum
The burning forest needs our voice
There won’t be a future waiting for us
There’s too much riding on minting coins


It’s all happening at once
Hope is high like the shining sun
Diving down for his beliefs
It’s all happening at once
In Newport, the aim of his life
Is to save the coral reefs
He’s gonna save the coral reefs

She’s standing out on the highway railing
Her signs say « This can’t last forever »
They’re shouting back, « Then don’t have a baby »
She laughs, we’re meant to fix it togethеr


It’s all happening at once
His first gun in the goldеn fields
And says he’d die to set them free
It’s all happening at once
The others tell of how he’s been turned
By a bruiser and a lying thief
And by the grand and cloudy tales, they weave


It’s all happening at once
Birds are flying from the north
The man was shot in disbelief
It’s all happening at once
Storms are heading to Newport town
He’s gonna save the coral reefs
He’s gonna save the coral reefs

Darling Star

Bonjour, je vous propose aujourd’hui d’écouter ou de ré-écouter le titre « Darling Star » titre composé par Katie et son frère Zurab.

When I look into your eyes, there’s nothing you need to say
Look at all the love shining out, try and hide it away
But everyday


Love is easy with you
Like a cloudless sky
You’re the sea breeze I need
On the driest night

If you could only see the way your love changed my life
And how you keep the whole world still


Why go dig in the hard and cruel jokes of life?
You’ve got all the tricks up your sleeve to summon the light
In the darkest night


Love is easy with you
No more cries to the sky
No more sad leaves in autumn
You should take me for life


If you could only see the way your love made my life (Made my life)
And how it needs no force or skill
If you could only see the way your love moves my life
And how you keep the whole world still


Love is easy with you
It’s the feel of your laugh
It’s the sweet way you show me
All the colours of life


Love is easy with you
You’re my darling star

Katie Melua, Zurab Melua

Lie in the heat

Bonjour à tous, nous revoilà pour la découverte des titres du nouvel album « Love&Money ». Aujourd’hui, je vous propose d’écouter le titre « Lie in the heat ».

A day by the river is lovely with you
The water and sunlight brighten our view


The sun and our spirits
Are shining away
Giving us a beautiful day

Rocks and the whirlpools blend in the light
I’m happy to watch them
While you go for a dive
And your skin feels alive


The sun and our spirits
Are shining away
Giving us a beautiful day
The lights in our brown eyes
Birds are at play
Giving us a beautiful day


One day in the future
We’ll come here to meet
I’m not afraid of the deep end
While you lie in the heat
And the world feels complete


The sun and our spirits
Arе shining away
Giving us a beautiful day
The lights in our brown eyеs
Birds are at play
Giving us a beautiful day

Katie Melua, Zurab Melua, Léo Abrahams

14 Windows

Bonjour,

Je vous invite chaque semaine à découvrir un nouveau titre du nouvel album de notre belle Katie « Love&Money ». On commence par le titre « 14 Windows », composé en souvenir du Dr Mike McPhilips qui s’est occupé de Katie lors de sa dépression en 2010, décédé il y a peu de temps.

You’d say what’s on your mind needs to come through
That’s the only way to fix it for you

It’s good to let a little peace inside you
Otherwise the flame will freeze inside you
The whole life that you’ve seen around you
The patterns of life that you felt around you
It’s good to let a little peace inside you
Get some of that weight released around you
It’s good to let a little peace inside you

You see how words can play out on you
If words can fly, then tell me, won’t you?
Take the call and say you’rе right there


It’s good to let a littlе peace inside you
Otherwise the flame will freeze inside you
The whole life that you’ve seen around you
The patterns of light that had weight around you
It’s good to let a little peace inside you
Get some of that weight released around you
It’s good to let a little flow unwind you


(Ooh) Ooh, do you need it all?
(Ooh) Ooh, take the call
(Ooh) Ooh, let it go


It’s good to let a little peace inside you
Otherwise the flame will freeze inside you
The whole world that you’ve seen around you
The patterns of light that had weight around you
It’s good to let a little peace inside you
Get some of that weight released around you
It’s good to let a little flow unwind you
