nous vivons dans la société de la solitude

Frédéric BEIGBEDER - L’Amour dure trois ans



Edward HOPPER - Cape Cod Morning 1950
Cet Américain de la côte Est a le goût des grands espaces, de la mer et des plaines verdoyantes du cap Cod, où il prend l’habitude à partir de 1934 de passer l’été. Tout semble vrai mais, en fin de compte, rien ne l’est. Chaque paysage résulte d’une recomposition mentale, d’une vision intérieure. «Mon objectif, en peinture, a toujours été la transcription la plus exacte possible de mes impressions les plus intimes de la nature», disait-il. Hopper a le sens des cadrages – éminemment photographiques. On lui doit aussi cette atmosphère inquiétante, cette tension qui s’insinue jusque dans les paysages les plus tranquilles.

Illustration musicale: Tracy CHAPMAN - change
"Change" est considérée comme l'une de ses chansons les plus profondes et les plus religieuses. Chapman se réfère à la Bible dans le refrain, posant à l'auditeur la question chrétienne très profonde et stimulante "changeriez vous". son sujet est basée sur l'inégalité sociale et religieuse et sur le sentiment d'être ou non épanoui. Tracy croit qu'elle a vraiment été transformée en decouvrant la foi dans toute sa grandeur, et se demande si la société a fait de même.

If you knew that you would die today
Saw the face of God and love
Would you change? Would you change?

If you knew that love can break your heart
When you're down so low you cannot fall
Would you change? Would you change?

How bad, how good does it need to get?
How many losses? How much regret?
What chain reaction would cause an effect?

Makes you turn around Makes you try to explain
Makes you forgive and forget
Makes you change?
Makes you change?

If you knew that you would be alone
Knowing right, being wrong
Would you change? Would you change?

If you knew that you would find a truth
That brings up pain that can't be soothed
Would you change? Would you change?

How bad, how good does it need to get?
How many losses? How much regret?
What chain reaction would cause an effect?
Makes you turn around Makes you try to explain
Makes you forgive and forget
Makes you change?
Makes you change?

Are you so upright you can't be bent?
If it comes to blows
Are you so sure you won't be crawling?

If not for the good, why risk falling?
Why risk falling?

If everything you think you know
Makes your life unbearable
Would you change? Would you change?

If you'd broken every rule and vow
And hard times come to bring you down
Would you change? Would you change?

If you knew that you would die today
If you saw the face of God and love
Would you change? Would you change?

If you saw the face of God and love
If you saw the face of God and love
Would you change? Would you change?
