VENGEANCE IS SLEEPING - Neko Case Note: I had to work out how to play this live without much messing about so it’s not accurate to the record - to get that you’ll have to detune your low E string to D and finger position accordingly! (For clues there’s a video on youtube where someone’s accidentally just filmed the guitarist: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-FEYxc14ZUQ) D=xx0232 D6=xx0202 Em=0x2000 Bb=x10330 Gm=3x0330 (E)=0x0330 D2=x54030 E=022100 Db5=xx0132 Capo 2nd G----0---0---0----0---0---0-----0---0---0--| D--4---2---0----4---2---0------------| ------------| ------------5---4---2----| / / / / / / / / /Em (x3)                    / / / / / / / () I DID NOT KNOW WHAT A BRUTE I WAS I DIPPED MY CIGARETTE AND RODE THE BUS VENGEANCE BUILT ME HASTILY AND I DRAGGED THE CLANGING NOTION I WAS NOBODY NOBODY...

À propos de la chanson

Cette chanson évoque les luttes intérieures de quelqu'un qui se rend compte de sa propre brutalité et de son incapacité à se conformer à l'image qu’on a de lui. Il parle d’un amour profondément ancré dans ses pensées, presque douloureux, où il lutte avec ses intentions, entre désir et frustration. Sous une couche de nostalgie, l’artiste se questionne sur la nature des relations et l’idée d’un amour qu’il peine à exprimer ou à garder. Le tout s’accompagne d’un sentiment de perte et de regret, un reflet de ses difficultés à trouver sa place et à se libérer des jugements extérieurs. L’atmosphère générale est sombre, mais résiliente, comme un cri silencieux porteur d’espoir.
