Undercover (épilogue alternatif)

Les coulisses

Episode 12bis - Epilogue alternatif

Les recommandations finales

Une dernière pour Apocalyx et une première pour Monmix avec... un rap !!!
Pour l'anecdote, à l'écoute de l'intro de 'l'enfant', Greg s'est mis à rapper en mash-up. De là, est venue l'idée de faire un rap sur l'instrumental quasi inchangé de 'l'enfant' (juste amputé de la partie centrale). En s'inspirant de son flow et des sonorités, Monmix a pondu un texte proposant un épilogue alternatif bien plus acopalyptique et une chanson featuring Greg en rapmaster pour conclure l'album Apocalyx.
L'histoire : un mec qui n'avait rien demandé s'est retrouvé acculé à commettre l'irréparable, sans fierté, ni regret et se retrouve seul avec sa dulcinée dans une grotte à imaginer une suite que eux seuls peuvent construire.

Et en novembre 2018, la chanson s'est vue mise en image

Le tournage du clip a été quasiment improvisé en une matinée dans notre location à Vandalia (US) en Octobre 2018, tant le lieu et la lumière incroyables s'y prétaient et qu'on avait Gregoire sous la main et son pote Ralph (en cadavre plus vrai que nature)

Paroles

Episode 12bis - Epilogue alternatif

Yo, Never been told, never been in the game,
Soul never been sold, feeling no shame
That’s me, undercover cause I’m big in shit,
Over and under
You know I was known with no gang,
Now I’m down with the chick, in the hell of fame
I’m in a cave with my chick living this shit,
This is apocalypse now, baby, you got it
They’ve all forced me to do the business, uh
I am not a king but a fool playing chess, uh
Never been top, never been slave,
I’m back to the bones, guilty innocent
No more hurdle jumps, I crush, I crash

I got that mother fucker under a cover,
Got that ugly world down forever,
I got that chick under my cover,
And I’m undercover cause I’m one and only
What they gonna do, what they gonna say,
They won’t be in shape to replay the blood game
Baby, you and me might be trapped a while,
Undercover but we hold the flame,
From now on, I’m in charge

Shit is not gonna give me pride,
But at least you’re alive by my side
Bad thoughts are back to back,
And I’ve reached to the sun, might be too close, baby
Now, we don’t know where we are going,
But sure I won’t be back to bowing
They drove me crazy, I took up the slack,
I’m looking for big, for now I love my shack
Undercover before attack, undercover waiting for impact
Undercover waiting for big crack, Undercover before it turns to black !

I’m not sure I’ve done the right thing,
But I’m sure I had to do something
I know it sounds a little dark,
We just need another spark with our inside light
When insanity is all what you see around,
You don’t want to be another clown
So you got to face it, honey, so you got to break it, honey
I didn’t have any other choice,
This was no place to raise a voice
Guilty if you do something,
Guilty if you don’t do nothing but who cares

Ain’t got no money, ain’t got no friends,
Ain ‘t got no parents, got no bros
But I got my soul and my soulmate uh
Ainn’t got no money in my bag,
Cause we sure won’t need this cause we don’t look back
Baby, just come to me, I ‘ll show you my world,
And I’ll show you the things, I got this, come on

Ain’t got no money, ain’t got no heaven nor hell,
I ain’t got nothing in my bag,
But I ‘m up, I’m alive and not more on my knees
Don’t cry no more, no more same same old
I’ve done this baby, cause you know,
Better sudden attack than a slow death baby

I got that mother fucker under a cover, I took up of that slack,
Got that ugly world down forever,they won’t be on my back
I got that chick under my cover, There’s nowhere to turn back,
And I’m undercover cause I’m one and only I’m gonna say goodbye
I got that mother fucker under a cover, I take up of that slack,
Got that ugly world down forever, our turn to bounce back
I got that chick under my cover, On that nowhere track,
And I’m undercover cause I’m one and only
who cares now, black clouds are flying by
