I have a feeling part three will be even more special.

When I'm done, I will probably put all three together. I wont be able to upload that to Youtube, but I will share it through Google Drive or DC hub. I will probably trim it down some and I will probably embed the subtitles. I didn't like the bird song and I feel I would leave something like that out unless others feel differently.

Working on the final part and getting close. I hope to finish tomorrow. Again a time consuming part is trying to come up with good, accurate, translations of the songs or at least the better songs. Christophe Willem sang a very good rendition of Idealiser. I looked at several translations and I didn't think any of them did a very good job so I put a lot of effort into translating it. One difficutly I ran into is there are two lines one after another;
Ce qui blesse et qu'on laisse dernier soi. This is how a couple of different sites list the lryics, but after a lot of research, I finally figured out that 3 words from 2 different lines actually need to go together to get the right definition "laisse dernier soi". I do think I came up with a good interrpretation and I'll post it here because this is the song that it was rumored was a dig towards Mylene Farmer and looking at these lyrics you can kind of see why, someone with a vivid imagination, might come up with that. But I did a little research on the song and the writer said it was about a woman he knew back in the 80s who was going through some tough times and eventually commited suicide. She is alone on the floor Flowing in alcohol The veneer is cracking Under the idol Powdered faces Dressed in silk That which hurts and that we leave behind It's not a parade of all nighters Snow white exhibited to the archangels It's snowing in downtown Late seventies Time is of the autumn Unsurprisingly Idealize a broken past not realizing he is no longer there Idealize Beautify oneself Back stage plan to go away and not return The leap into the dark The small club-kid does not love the day Idealize Just suppose She dared everything and to him asked One last kiss I will shortly after I'm done post the songs seperately with the English captions Last edited by Scruffydog777; 01-12-2016 at 01:11 AM.. |

Having verified my account with Youtube, that allowed me to up my limits on how long a video I could post, thinking the new limit was 20, but I guess the new limit, is acually the size of the file. So it looks like I could've done this all in one post, but if I had to put together a 50 minute video, it would probably never get done, at least not with the amount of detail of what I'm trying to put into this. I think it will work out better this way.
I had made that post last night with the Idealiser lyrics around 1 am. I was tired at the time and as I said, I put a lot into it and think I got it very close to what was intended. As I said, the writer said he wrote this song about a woman who went through tough times, then commited suicide and those how I tried to interpret it with little to go on really and I said only someone with a vivid imagination could think this was directed at MF. This morning, after a good nights sleep, I decided to proof read it, especially the lyrics and it was like getting hit right between the eyes. I thought how could someone not think this was about MF. The veneer is cracking Under the idol Of course idol would be MF and I think the verneer is cracking refered to Jeremy telling her about the deeper meanings of the song, so Alizee did not look upon Mylene in the same terms she did before. That which hurts and we leave behind. She was leaving MF behind and no matter what the reason, I'm sure it hurt.\ Snow white exhibited to the archangels Though she didn't have it at the time, Alizee has a tattoo of Snow White on her arm now, showing it was an important chacacter to her. Of course MF revealed Snow White (Alizee) to the archangels but here archangels just referred to the masses. plan to go away and not return Alizee left and had no plans of returning The small club-kid does not love the day Alizee, the small-club kid was not happy with her career at that point and to him asked One last kiss I think this should have been to "her" asked referring to one last kiss. Supposedly they left on good terms and this last kiss would have been a kiss on both cheeks as the French so often do on meeting or departing with a close friend. The line referring to the late 70s seems to have nothing to do with MF or Zee. As far as the line about alcohol; I have no idea if MF drinks or not but it's possible this line too has nothing to do with Mylene. The snow in downtown seems to have no connection to either one Maybe this song wasn't about MF, but it's very easy to see why a lot of people may have felt it was and probably the only way to disprove that would be if the writer had maybe posted at some point who this woman was he said he wrote the song about. Maybe it's out there? Now I have to try and come up with a good interpretation for Seulement pour te plaire which Tina Arena sang and which will turn into another translation.

Part 3 is ready. I still have to check it to make sure everything uploaded okay, but I anticipate no major problems so here it is.
Edit: I did notice a mistake in the song Seulement pour te Plaire which I believe I corrected. I also noticed a couple of small spelling mistakes that I'm not worried about. I'll triple check it tomorrow. Last edited by Scruffydog777; 01-12-2016 at 09:22 PM.. Reason: Automerged Doubleposts |

Wow! I am REALLY glad you captioned these. Alizée talks about herself more here than anywhere else, at least recently. Part 3 is especially good.
Thanks very much Scruffy.

Wow! Scruffy! This video is so excellent. I don't know what to say. The miracle that she planned to enter the amateur contest as a dancer--what a disaster that would have been, she might never have been discovered--and then her friend signed her to sing, and thank god, she agreed to do it. What a critical moment in all of our lives!

I separated the Sans Bruit song and uploaded it at a high res with captions. There are similar videos out, but not with English captions. I tweaked the lyrics after doing a lot more research on French phrases. I'll do the same with some other songs including songs of her sung by others. Might as well post them here because they're all from SAGA.
