A propos de l'autre sujet du forum: Groupes de la Musique Australien, jâai une idĂ©e:
Vous connaissez la chanson âLivinâ la vida Locaâ par Ricky Martin?
(Bien sûr, je pense que tout le monde le savoir!)
Well, I thought if anybodyâs interested, for fun some of us could make a song or poem along the lines of âLivinâ la vida Australianaâ
And then I thought, even better, pourquoi pas âLivin la vie Aus-sieâ
It might work...my husband has written melodies for his own bands and for other people, so itâs possible that FDU'ers could have a song...but, hey, if it didnât work out, we could still have an interesting poem anyway.
My idea is to make something about what Australia means to you. Les mots, les petits phrases...les images... etc.
In some ways I think this is better than asking some Australians who have been here forever and can at times take a lot of good stuff for granted, and donât know any other kind of life to know if life Downunder really is that great compared to elsewhere.
You Francophones are therefore much more qualified....donc, si tu voudrais, envoyez-moi tes idées. Un melange du ridicule et le raissonable serait bon...et selon moi, les meilleurs chansons ont aussi fait avec un melange de français et anglais.
If you need a little inspiration or would just like to hear some real and modern Aussie Australiana songs, I have some suggestions:
Lyrics of songs by John Williamson (eg âTrue Blueâ). Lee Kernaghan (eg Southern Son, âCause Iâm countryâ) I donât like their music personally because it can be very âcountry & westernâ, but others might enjoy it.
A couple of great rock tracks about Australian life on the land:
âWay out Westâ (get the duet version, 1992 James Reyne & James Blundell...itâs easy to find and one of my top recommendations ever). & James Blundellâs âThis Roadâ.
Also 90âs rock (+ only slightly country) stuff of Keith Urban, who these days is a big Nashville star. (Essaie âOnly Youâ et âThe Riverâ)
Ne manquent pas les chansons âDead Heartâ et âKing of the Mountainâ de Midnight Oil. Formidable!
Aussi, est-ce quelquâun connais la chanson sâappelle âMarseilleâ ? (Itâs one of the greatest hits ever of Oz legends The Angels. Written 1978 but still as good as new). Another 5 star song.
Have fun!
