(in the Light of the) SETTING SUN est un 6 titres spontané et varié. Des chansons énergiques et sensibles aux textes ancrés dans l’actualité.
NRI ce sont donc des chansons, des tranches de vie empreintes d’humanité, d’émotions. On ne peut parler d’influences, tant elles sont intégrées et digérées, on reconnaitra un goût pour le format chanson, ciselé, en orfèvrerie, et décliné en couleurs multiples. Folk, New Wave, électro, qu’importe le style, ce sont les détails qui font la différence et créent un univers chaleureux et envoutant.
L’album a été écrit, composé au ukulélé et enregistré « au 44 », sur un simple ordi portable.
Nri MAGRIS chante, joue et programme tous les instruments. Paul SCHMITZ est à la basse.
RIVIERA
BERN Li/ Nri MAGRIS
On se reverra sur la riviera
Panama Canada ou Gaza
Pas d’embarras juste du choix
On se reverra sur la riviera
Ou pas.
On se reverra sur la riviera
T’auras des diamants à chaque doigt
Tu te prends vraiment pour le roi…
On se reverra sur la riviera
Ou pas.
On se reverra sur la riviera
Une autre vie - une autre fois
J’aime pas trop c’que tu fais là !
On se reverra sur la riviera
Ou pas.
So Good So far
Nri MAGRIS
Might makes right
Right or wrong that’s all there is
No point in bringing back
A one way ticket
To the river of no return
To the river of no return
So good so good So far
Simple plans
Build on common sense
With simple and empty words
To the state of shock
To the dregs
Will drink the bitter cup
Here comes the golden age
A one way ticket
To the river of no return
To the river of no return
So good so good So far
Pas la peine que tu la ramènes
Cette rivière est sans retour
Où qu’elle passe elle t’entraîne
Seul le compte est à rebours
To the river of no return
To the river of no return
So good so good So far
ANYMORE
Nri MAGRIS
You can get all my money for what it worths
You can get all the zeros, only them matters
The Billions, the trillions, the zillions and more
It’s never enough. Encore et encore
You can use the lift I will take the stairs
You can kill all the lions, the rhinos, the icebears
Keep the diamonds the silver the gold
You can have it all Keep Keep it all
But I won’t follow you anymore
You can shit in the water ’til the well goes dry
Lie to my face as if I were blind
You can wake up the monsters and turn off the light
Lie to my face as if I were blind
But I won’t follow you anymore
The Man
Nri MAGRIS
The man he wanna step outside
Open the door he says I wanna step outside
Does it make things better If you let him out ?
The man he wanna step outside
Talk Talk Blah Blah Blah
The soldier he puts down the gun
The war is over killing ain’t no fun anymore
Does it make any difference who loose the fight ?
For the soldier killing ain’t no fun anymore
Talk Talk Blah Blah Blah
The girl she wander where you are
Back to your arms she’ll never break your heart again
She will make you shiver There nothing like the fever
The girl she’ll never break your heart again
Talk Talk Blah Blah Blah
Talk Talk Blah Blah Blah
There
Nri MAGRIS
There’re so many angry voices
And the world is on fire
And the bells ringin’ in the distance
Are only calling for the fight
You are there Just like a promise
In the light of the morning sun
You’ll be there just like you promised
In the light of the setting sun
There’re so many crazy preachers
Cos the world is on the run
And their words and their answers
Are in the barrel of a gun
You are there Just like a promise
In the light of the morning sun
With your arm wrapped around my shoulder
Playin’ like children
Havin’ fun
You’ll be there just like you promised
In the light of the setting sun
There’re so many broken angels
Dancing barefoot in the fire
And love is not the answer
They walk with the devil on their side.
You are there You are there
You’ll be there In the light of the setting sun
