Mais vieillir… ! – 20 – ‘Yesterday’

Oh, yesterday came suddenly

Oh, I believe in yesterday  

Paul McCartney

« Yesterday »

Madame Shirley Horn

Why he had to go I don’t know he wouldn’t say
I said something wrong, now I long for yesterday

Yesterday
All my troubles seemed so far away
Now it looks as though they’re here to stay
Oh, I believe in yesterday

Suddenly
I’m not half the girl I used to be
There’s a shadow hanging over me
Oh, yesterday came suddenly

Why he had to go I don’t know he wouldn’t say
I said something wrong, now I long for yesterday

Yesterday
Love was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide away
Oh, I believe in yesterday

Why he had to go I don’t know he wouldn’t say
I said something wrong, now I long for yesterday

Yesterday
Love was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide away
Oh, I believe in yesterday

Too many musicians rush through everything with too many notes. A ballad should be a ballad. It’s important to understand what the song is saying, and learn how to tell the story. It takes time. I can’t rush it. I really can’t rush it.

Shirley Horn

Trop de musiciens se précipitent à travers tout avec trop de notes. Une ballade doit être une ballade. Il est important de comprendre ce que dit la chanson et d'apprendre à raconter l'histoire. Ça prend du temps. Je ne peux pas me précipiter. Je ne peux vraiment pas me précipiter.
