Sweet Memories (Jean-Jacques Goldman): ''Slow me again" (1979)

Un Medley des tubes des années 60 / 70, dont le point commun est de s'inspirer du Canon de Pachelbel. Jean-Jacques Goldman voulait reproduire le Rock Collection de Laurent Voulzy, mais avec des slows.

A whiter shade of pale (G. Brooker / K. Reid)
Hey Jude (Lennon / McCartney)
Je t'aime moi non plus (S. Gainsbourg)
I started the joke (Gibbs)
Sag Warum (P. Spector / Harvey)
It's a man's man's world (J. Brown)
I'm not in love (Gouldman / Stewart)
Nights in white satin (J. Hayward)
Let it be (Lennon / McCartney)

In writing his canon
Pachelbel did not imagine
He would inspire so many love songs.
Listen

A whiter shade of pale

We skipped the light Fandango
Turned cartwheels 'cross the floor
I was feeling kinda seasick
Oh turned a whiter shade of pale

Only you

Only you can make oh this world seem right,
Only you can make the darkness bright,
Only you and you alone
Can thrill me like you do

The house of the rising sun

There is a house in New Orleans
They call the rising sun
And it's been the ruin of so many poor boys
And God, I know, I'm oneSlow me, slow me again
Slow me, slow me again
Slow me, slow me again
Slow me, slow me again

Hey Jude

Hey Jude don't make it bad,
Take a sad song and make it better,
Remember, to let her into your heart,
Then you can start to make it better, better, better, better
Imagine (?) simple harmony
In times of trouble and violence
Created a hall of serenity
And peace of mind

When a man loves a women

When a man loves a woman
Can't keep his mind on nothin' else
He'd trade the world
For a good thing he's found
If she is bad, he can't see it
She can do no wrong
Turn his back on his best friend
If he puts her down

Je t'aime moi non plus [instrumental]

I started a joke

I started a joke which started the whole world crying
But I didn't see that the joke was on me oh no

Slow me, slow me again
Slow me, slow me again
Slow me, slow me again
Slow me, slow me again

For the power of so many years
And so many to come
May Pachelbel's inspiration
Continue to survive

Sag Warum
Nachts. Gehe ich darein
Ich bin allein
Und frage warum
Die Tage gehen
Wenn nichts auf dem sehen
Und ich frage mich : warum ?

It's a man's man's world

This is a man's world, this is a man's world
But it wouldn't be nothing, nothing
Without a woman or a girl

I'm not in love

I'm not in love
So don't forget it
It's just silly things I'm going through
It's just because
I call you up
Don't get me wrong
Don't think you got me

Slow me, slow me again
Slow me, slow me again
Slow me, slow me again
Slow me, slow me again

Nights in white satin

Nights in white satin
Never reaching the end
Letters I've written
Never meaning to send
Beauty I'd always missed
With these eyes before
Just what the truth is
I can't say anymore
Cause I love you, yes I love you
Ohhh how I love you
Ohhh how I love you

Let it be

When I find myself in times of trouble
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be
And in my hour of darkness
She is standing right in front of me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be
Let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be
