"Big Eye" by Christine and the Queens

I have been wanting to post this arresting song, "Big Eye" by Christine and the Queens (previously here) for a while now. The lyric video, below, naturally uses the album track from his newest release, the ambitious concept album "Paranoïa, Angels, True Love," but Red also performed a staggering live version at Glastonbury a few months ago.

Red (Chris) now uses he/him pronouns and performed this song sans blouson, with some tape on his nipples in an apparent way to circumvent any sort of public nudity laws. Apparently this passes YouTube's rule against nudity as well. But honestly, Red has a masculine build anyhow and if one were to glance quickly, one could possibly take him for a cisgendered man. But I don't want to chance posting the video here and risking someone, um, shall I say unenlightened and overzealous flagging my blog to Blogger. So, here is the lyric video, and then a screen capture from his Glastonbury performance of "Big Eye" with a link in the photo. Do yourself a favor: click on it to go to the YouTube page of BBC Music so you can marvel at one of the most powerful, electrifying live performances I have seen in a while.

"To Be Honest" by Christine and the Queens

Another lovely song from Chris of Christine and the Queens. This is "To Be Honest" from the new album "PARANOÏA, ANGELS, TRUE LOVE" released this coming June 2023.

I get lost in my thoughts, and for hours of time
And it’s making me feel
Like I am not alone anymore
To be honest (to be honest)

I am trying to love, but I’m afraid to kill
And I never know when,
When to search or stay still
So I fly
To be honest
with you

Broken and yet tender
Always in and always out
Heading to the water
Drowning in what it can hide

Kind of always cautious
Don’t you don’t you break my heart
Feeling kind of loveless
Yet always ready to try

And I’ve been through so much
That sometimes it feels far
It is like a movie
Played by another star
She’s a stranger
To be honest (to be honest)

Now I’m sitting alone
And I’m trying to listen
To the stories that could
Make mine a little softer, and fine
To be honest

Broken and yet tender
(Douce et abîmé)
Always in and always out
(Toujours à côté)
Heading to the water
(Dans l’eau s’enfoncer)
Drowning in what it can hide
(Ne rien y trouver)

Kind of always cautious
(Toujours protégé)
Don’t you don’t you break my heart
(Y a rien à casser)
Feeling kind of loveless
(J’ai rien à donner)
Yet always ready to try
(J’ai tout à donner, donner)

(Away, away)
(Away, away)
(Away, away)
(Away, away)
(Away, away)
(Away, away)
(Oh, oh, oh)

"People, I've Been Sad" by Christine and the Queens

This song, "People, I've Been Sad" from Christine and the Queens' latest release "La Vita Nuova" hits the spot...

It's true, that people, I've been sad
(People, I've been sad)
It's true, that people, I've been gone
(People, I've been gone)
It's true, that people, I've been missing out
(I've been missing out)
And missing out for way too long
(People, I've been gone)
It's just that me, myself and I
(Me, myself and I)
Been missing out for way too long
(Out for way too long)
Been taking 'cause I should have missing out
(I've been missing out)
Forsaking things for way too long
(Didn't take for long)
If you disappear
Then I'm disappearing too
You know the feeling (you know the feeling)
You know the feeling
If you fall apart
Then I'm falling behind you
You know the feeling (you know the feeling)
You know the feeling
Les gens viennent et parlent mal
(Ils parlent si mal)
Des sentiments qui pourtant comptent
(Tellement ils comptent)
Prise au piège de quelque chose de fort
(Quelque chose de fort)
Je n'ai décroché pour personne
(Jamais pour personne)
If you disappear
Then I'm disappearing too
You know the feeling (you know the feeling)
You know the feeling
If you fall apart
Then I'm falling behind you
You know the feeling (you know the feeling)
You know the feeling
Adolescence contrariée par un millier de chardons morts
Marcher pieds nus sur du verre et maintenant tout est plus fort
Adolescence contrariée par des milliers de remords
Maintenant quand je ressens quelque chose tout est bien plus fort
Adolescence contrariée par un millier de chardons morts
Marcher pieds nus sur du verre et maintenant tout est plus fort
Adolescence contrariée par une solitude folle
Maintenant quand je suis dehors le soleil me brûle encore
Ils parlent si mal
Tellement ils comptent
Quelque chose de fort
Jamais pour personne
If you disappear
Then I'm
You know the feeling (you know the feeling)
You know the feeling
If you fall apart
Then I
You know the feeling (you know the feeling)
You know the feeling
If you disappear
Then I'm
You know the feeling (you know the feeling)
You know the feeling
If you fall apart
Then I
You know the feeling (you know the feeling)
You know the feeling

And for those who hear the electronic effects on her voice and doubt her true talent and power, take a look at this clip of her performing the song live for Lady Gaga's wonderful fundraising benefit event One World: Together At Home last month. And her lovely words at the end are worth hearing...
