[2013-03-25] Album "5"

[Euphoria]

A lovely goodbye song. It has a sense of melancholy, but it also has a lightness to it. Like in her heart, she's already moved on but has to actually leave him. I think there was a lot of indifference on both their parts when they broke up.

I'm in love all over again. Got a really good feeling about this album.

Dans mon sac reminds me Avril Lavigne's last album, Goodbye Lullaby. Similar sounding... I like this song very much :3

Edit:

The official site's design also changed to promote "5"

And I didn't get any email Scruffy, were you referring to those who ordered the collectors edition?

Yes, this is a copy of the e-mail I recieved.

Here's a Google tranlsation.

Hello David,
You who already have, and sometimes there trèèèèèès long preordered the Collector's Edition special fans, you're probably very excited (e) be able to discover the new album Alizée.

To make you wait a little and thank you for your loyalty,
Alizée reveals the song "In my bag."

A lot of people thought with some of the videos that have been released that weren't available outside of certain countries that Alizee had forgotten about those who pre-ordered and her foreign fans. Though there were times I started to doubt, I mostly thought it was an oversight of Sony and not her and I think this proves, she has not forgotten about us.

I was intrigued by these lines ( actually I found all the lines intriguing),

I put there this beautiful black leather
That made my mother so cry

I'm assuming those are tears of happiness. So what do you think it might have been?

Looks that this will be a melancholic album; with a better quality than the last one. I love her sweet voice.
Probably, Alizée wants slow songs that don't involve dancing, but represent a good challenge to her voice.

Yes, a bit like the song Goodbye, I think there's some cello playing in the background of Dans mon sac as well.


Very nice song, it would be interesting to see if She can develop the combination/contrast between the melancholic and joyful even more

I really like the stripped-down quality of the song, simple and clean. I also love the melancholy tone. Reading the lyrics up there (thanks for posting Brian!!), I got a lump in my throat. As far as the meaning it sounds very simple, no hard feelings, just the conclusion of a story. Can't wait to hear more from this album.

Edit:

RMJ did a translation of the song.

I put in my bag all my promises
And in my heart all my passions
Some bandages for my clumsiness
A counterfeit iPod

I put in my bag all the smiles
That I was given to come across
I put there your sighs
When I told you I would go

I leave for my life, driven by the night
I leave in silence, driven by my luck
Carried by the wind, I’m leaving now

I put in my bag this old mirror
To see my life updside down
I put there this beautiful black leather
That made my mother so cry

I put in my bag all the indifferences
That I was given to come across
I put there your silence
When I told you I would go

I leave for my life, driven by the night
I leave in silence, driven by my luck
Carried by the wind, I’m leaving now

I’m leaving now

Thanks Brian! Did he post the French lyrics also? Would like to know if she used "Alizé" as the "wind" at the end. Beautiful lyrics...

[BrianO1]

Well I hope that because I didn't get an email, that doesn't mean they have lost my order...

[Finnishguy]

I neither got mail..
What do you exactly mean Scruffy?
