Les coulisses
Première revisite de La chanson de Juin 1989 (sur l'album "Last trip to Colpin stree").
A l'époque, c'était un petit clin d'oeil country dans l'esprit de "the ballad of John and Yoko" des beatles qui racontait l’histoire de cette Stephanie la reine des emmerdeuses.
Pour cette revisite, l'idée était de faire une version beaucoup plus rock tout en gardant l'esprit de l'original et en particulier son tempo de 116,5bpm
La slide guitar, l'harmonica et une batterie répétitive ont laissé la place à un gros riff de guitare, à de l'orgue qui se lache et une batterie beaucoup plus présente, le tout soutenu par quelques synthés (et Monmix en a profité pour tenter de corriger les fautes d'anglais ou de prononciation)
Pour l'arrangement, Monmix avait en tête de s'inspirer de "Sowing the seeds of love"(Tears for fears) mais n'a pas pu concrétiser en particulier du fait de la difference de tempo (85bpm)
Monmix a donc décider de se lancer dans une deuxième revisite avec un tempo de 95bpm Silly Stephanie (2023 - 95bpm) présente dans ce même album
Paroles
When I met Stephanie, she was just a lovely girl
I didn't realize at once what she really was
And I fell in love with her, I gave my heart to her
And since this time, I've never had my life for me
I spend all my time to repair all what she has broken in me
A day, at home, when I was sleeping like a log
She seized the opportunity to bring back her dog
It was this kind of dog, you should think it's not a dog
It seemed to be a horse you see, it was bigger than me
And when I woke up, it was lying on the bed with me
And sometimes when I don't feel quiet, I resign myself
But tomorrow, if I feel stronger than her, I will explode
A day later, I was coming back right home
She was in the kitchen cooking two eggs for us
And suddenly, curtains began to catch fire, fire
And the wall began to catch fire
And my house was going down
A day we were climbing up the Eiffel Tower
She jumped into space just to see if she could fly
And in my own I prayed for that she couldn't
It was a big surprise to me, she was waiting down for me
With a rubber fastened to her, she was laughing at me
And sometimes when I don't feel quiet, I resign myself
But tomorrow, if I feel stronger than her, I will explode
There's no getting away from it when once one gets to know her
There's no need to be a genius to see she's fully silly
So I take my luggage, I jump in the first taxi
And I run, run, run too far for her to see me
You can be sure that I'll never come back again
