Une autre de mes idoles de jeunesse que j’avais partiellement oublié avec le temps. Un des plus grands artistes canadiens sinon le plus grand dans le domaine musical. Il est celui que j’ai le plus écouté au cours de la dernière année(2015) et  « Bound For Glory «  fut ma chanson de l’été 2015 même si elle date de 1985 sur l’album “ Old Ways “.  Une superbe “ Road Song “  à saveur « country «  si on réussi à oublier la malheureuse épouse de notre héros, avec ses deux petits à la maison.  Quel va être ma chanson de l’été 2016 à venir ?  Ça reste encore à déterminer pour le moment... 

>>> Out on the trans-Canada highway,  There was a girl hitchhiking with her dog,  Fireflies buzzin' round her head,  Like candles in the fog>>> He was three miles down the road,  Tryin' to stay up, but he knew that he couldn't,  She was looking for a ride through the night,  But out there, who wouldn't>>> They were bound for glory,  Bound for living on the edge,  They were bound for each other,  Like two comets heading for a bed>>> She had a new way of living,  New way of looking at life,  He had an '84 International and two kids,  He left back home with his wife>>> He was tired of writin' letters to himself,  And living in the dark,  She was open to suggestions,  And some say she had a broken heart>>> He had everything he wanted,  'Til it all turned out to be a job,  One fallen asleep trucker,  And a girl hitchhiking with her dog>>> They were bound for glory,  Bound for living on the edge,  They were bound for each other,  Like two comets heading for a bed>>> She had a new way of living,  New way of looking at life,  He had an '84 International and two kids,  He left back home with his wife >>> Out on the trans-Canada highway,  The sun came climbing up the cab,  By the time it hit the window,  they were wakin' up,  From what little sleep they had>>> When that heat hit the blankets,  They were looking for love at second sight,  Just starin' in each others' eyes,  Findin' it in the mornin' light>>> They were bound for glory,  Bound for living on the edge,  They were bound for each other,  Like two blankets layin' on a bed>>> She had a new way of living,  New way of looking at life,  He had an '84 International and two kids,  He left back home with his wife>>>

Une joyeuse et triste chanson d’infidélité avec un gagnant il nous semble mais également avec trois victimes; une épouse à la maison avec deux bambins. 

J’aurai certainement l’occasion de revenir avec Neil Young car comme il a touché à tous les genres, le choix ne manque pas. Je laisse une petite photo de ce cher Neil pour ceux qui ne le connaitraît pas. 

Merci, bonne journée, bonne écoute et à la prochaine...
