Emiliana Torrini est mi-italienne mi-islandaise et chante en anglais. On la dit très influencée par Björk et c'est vrai qu'on peut trouver des similitudes dans les sonorités spéciales et même un peu dans la texture de la voix parfois. Emiliana Torrini s'est fait connaître grâce à son merveilleux album "Love in time of the science" sorti en 1999. Depuis, elle a participé à la B.O. du Seigneur des Anneaux avec la très belle "Gollum's Song". En réalité elle avait déjà enregistré deux précédents albums qui ne doivent pas être forcément faciles à trouver.. Il s'agit de "Merman" et de "Crouçie d'ou là". Même si on peut déjà entendre la qualité de sa voix, pour ce qui est de la musique... C'est très influencé blues.. Rien à voir avec la modernité et la sensualité de son dernier que j'adooooore !!

 

 

~ To be free ~

 

Once in a house on a hill

A boy got angry

He broke into my heart

For a day and a night

I stayed beside him

Until I had no home

So I came down the hill

Of course I was hurt

But then I started to think

It shouldn't hurt me to be free

It's what I really need

To pull myself together

But if it's so good being free

Would you mind telling me

Why I don't know what to do with myself

There's a bar by the dock

Where I found myself

Drinking with this man

He offered a cigarette

And I accepted

Cause it's been a very long time

As it burned till the end

I thought of the boy

No one could ever forget

It shouldn't hurt me to be free

It's what I really need

To pull myself together

But if it's so good being free

Would you mind telling me

Why I don't know what to do with myself

To pull myself together

But if it's so good being free

Would you mind telling me

Why I don't know what to do with myself

To pull myself together

But if it's so good being free

Would you mind telling me

Why I don't know what to do with myself

~ Fingertips ~

 

Before I can open my own to eager eyes

Everything changes from the oceans to the skies

Perpetual emotions set a place by me

Everything's breathing my air in all of tree

Yet my fingertips have a special sound

Yet my fingertips, they go round and round

This chemical wisdom creeps into my brain

Away from my nerve and also free of pain

Yet my fingertips have a special sound

Yet my fingertips they go round and round

Pa-pa-pa-ra-raaa-a

Pa-pa-pa-ra-raaa-a

Electrical current hallowed be thy name

Live my emotions and vanish all my shame

Yet my fingertips have a special sound

Yet my fingertips smell of sudden ground

Before I can open my own to eager eyes

Everything changes from the oceans to the skies

Yet my fingertips have a special sound

Yet my fingertips, they go round and round

Pa-pa-pa-ra-raaa-a

Pa-pa-pa-ra-raaa-a
