Act Of the Apostle

Belle & Sebastian

Transposer:

Intro : Morning prayers took the girl unawares She was late for class and she knew it The broadcaster had a voice that was soothing She couldn't tell if it was a man or woman A patch of sun fell onto her desk She put her head on her arms on her neck The lesson today was Acts of Apostles The crazy hippies, they're running scared She shut her eyes and imagined the desert No cars, no mobiles, just sun and bread What would she look like standing by the well ? More like a women and less like a girl Oh, if I could make sense of it all ! I wish that I could sing I'd stay in a melody I would float along in my everlasting song What would I do to believe ? Later on she plays Morning Has Broken She knows she's bad She is slowing everbody down The choirmaster, usually a bastard, knows her mother's sick He'll be nice to her She thinks that she shouldn't be there at all Her worries make everything else seem trivial Refrain

La chanson évoque une jeune fille qui fait face à une journée chaotique, submergée par des pensées et des préoccupations personnelles. Alors qu'elle est en retard pour un cours sur les Actes des Apôtres, elle rêve d'évasion dans un monde paisible, loin des distractions modernes comme les voitures et les téléphones. Elle aspire à grandir et à se sentir plus comme une femme, tout en se sentant coincée entre ses soucis et ses aspirations. Le contexte montre une lutte intérieure, amplifiée par la maladie de sa mère et la dynamique avec le choirmaster, qui, malgré son attitude habituellement difficile, fait preuve de gentillesse en raison de la situation délicate de la jeune fille. Cela souligne une tension entre la vie quotidienne, les attentes scolaires et les épreuves personnelles.
