C’est arrivé à tout le monde
On écoute un jour cet album que l’on avait oublié
On tombe sur ce morceau qui nous semblait anodin
Mais qui prend aujourd’hui tout son sens
Alors on l’écoute encore et encore
Jusqu’à l’obsession
On se l’approprie
Jusqu’à s’en rendre sourd
What came first, the music or the misery? People worry about kids playing with guns, or watching violent videos, that some sort of culture of violence will take them over. Nobody worries about kids listening to thousands, literally thousands of songs about heartbreak, rejection, pain, misery and loss. Did I listen to pop music because I was miserable? Or was I miserable because I listened to pop music?
Nick Hornby – High Fidelity
