Every Breaking Wave

Songs of Innocence2014

Présentation

Every Breaking Wave est le chef d’oeuvre de Songs Of Innocence, un morceau fantastique où U2 avance avec retenue et sobriété sans chercher à en faire des caisses. C’est l’une des meilleures compositions pop du groupe, un morceau délicat, plein de poésie et dont le refrain, accouché sous la houlette de Ryan Tedder, est imparable. Il convient de le savourer au regard du superbe court métrage de 13 minutes qui l’accompagne et qui nous emmène dans l’Irlande du Nord des années 70.

Le titre prendra une dimension encore supérieure associé à un orchestre. La version acoustique, sortie en bonus de l’album, aborde le morceau sous un angle plus subtile et moins pop. La version single ira encore plus loin et nous fera regretter que U2 n’ait pas osé ramener un orchestre sur scène chaque soir de la tournée Innocence + Experience Tour. Nul doute que ce moment viendra un jour, quand le groupe s’ouvrira à des formats de concert plus variés.

Paroles

Every breaking wave on the shore
Tells the next one there'll be one more
And every gambler knows that to lose
Is what you're really there for
Summer I was fearlessness
Now I speak into an answer phone
Like every fallen leaf on the breeze
Winter wouldn't leave it alone, alone

If you go
If you go your way and I go mine
Are we so
Are we so helpless against the tide?
Baby, every dog on the street
Knows that we're in love with defeat
Are we ready to be swept off our feet
And stop chasing every breaking wave

Every sailor knows that the sea
Is a friend made enemy
And every shipwrecked soul knows what it is
To live without intimacy
I thought I heard the captain's voice
But it's hard to listen while you preach
Like every broken wave on the shore
This is as far as I could reach

If you go
If you go your way and I go mine
Are we so
Are we so helpless against the tide?
Baby, every dog on the street
Knows that we're in love with defeat
Are we ready to be swept off our feet
And stop chasing every breaking wave

The sea knows where are the rocks
And drowning is no sin
You know where my heart is
The same place that yours has been
We know that we fear to win
And so we end before we begin
Before we begin

If you go
If you go your way and I go mine
Are we so
Are we so helpless against the tide?
Baby, every dog on the street
Knows that we're in love with defeat
Are we ready to be swept off our feet
And stop chasing every breaking wave
