Marion The Chtelaine

Al Stewart

This is one of my favorite songs off the Between the Wars album. Enjoy! Marion the Châtelaine When the great collector found her She was just a girl She rang a chord inside him And he stole her to the centre of his world Many wished they could be in her shoes But she surely did know how to have the blues He tried to make a star of her She never did know why And though she could have told him There were some things that his money couldn’t buy She never knew a way to refuse But she surely did know how to have the blues Chorus: They say tomorrow’s such a long long time They say tomorrow never comes Whatever happened to this dream of mine Count the days as they run He built himself a castle On a hill above a bay Where Marion the Châtelaine Charmed every single one who came to stay Some never knew while others read the clues That she surely did know how to have the blues Chorus When all the parties ended In the castle on the hill The paintings and the statues stood alone And all the corridors grew still She got caught between the shadows and the booze And she surely did know how to have the blues

Cette chanson raconte l'histoire d'une jeune femme, Marion, qui attire l'attention d'un collectionneur, le fascine et devient le centre de son univers. Bien qu'elle soit admirée et enviée, elle est en réalité prisonnière d'un monde où l'argent ne peut pas lui offrir le véritable bonheur. Le récit évoque son incapacité à dire non aux propositions qui lui sont faites, même si elle ressent un profond blues. Le décor est un château majestueux, situé sur une colline, où Marion captive tous ceux qui la rencontrent. Cependant, derrière l'éclat des fêtes et des belles œuvres d'art, une solitude assourdissante s'installe lorsque l'exubérance s'estompe. Marion se retrouve finalement prise dans un tourbillon d'ombre et d'alcool, illustrant une lutte intérieure poignante. C'est une réflexion sur les rêves et la réalité, sur ce que l'on désire vraiment dans la vie.
