I like it because I think you hear the beauty of words in a different language, she’s a French Isreali singer so, obviously has a pretty good grasp of several launguages, but the way she puts together her words is simple but incredibly beautiful. I’m not sure what she’s talking about, but I thought it must have been herself as a child…
Far far, there’s this little girl
she was praying for something to happen to her
everyday she writes words and more words
just to spit out the thoughts that keep floating inside
and she’s strong when the dreams come cos’ they
take her, cover her, they are all over
the reality looks far now, but don’t go
How can you stay outside?
there’s a beautiful mess inside
how can you stay outside?
there’s a beautiful mess inside
oh oh oh oh
Far far, there’s this little girl
she was praying for something good to happen to her
from time to time there are colors and shapes
dazzling her eyes, tickling her hands
they invent her a new world with
oil skies and aquarel rivers
but don’t you run away already
please don’t go oh oh
How can you stay outside?
there’s a beautiful mess inside
how an you stay outside?
there’s a beautiful mess inside
Take a deep breath and dive
there’s a beautiful mess inside
how can you stay outside?
There’s a beautiful mess
beautiful mess inside
Oh beautiful, beautiful
Far far there’s this little girl
she was praying for something big to happen to her
every night she hears beautiful strange music
it’s everywhere there’s nowhere to hide
but if it fades she begs
“oh lord don’t take it from me, don’t take it”
She says, “I guess i’ll have to give it birth
to give it birth
i guess, i guess, i guess i have to give it birth
i guess i have to, have to give it birth
there’s a beautiful mess inside and it’s everywhere
Just look at yourself now
deep inside
deeper than you ever dared
there’s a beautiful mess inside
beautiful mess inside
–It reminds me of Joyce Carol Oates talking about how if she didn’t write she didn’t know what would happen to her. Naim is an artist on so many levels, I think there just must be such a mess of words and music that she has to sort through and give shape to. On a very small scale I relate to that.
