The Best Thing

Carly Simon

Transposer:

The Best Thing - from Carly’s debut album - 1971 I was his foreigner And he was mine We ate on terraces And drank the cheapest wine And he believed in me Down by the serpentine How was I to know It was the best thing To come along for a long time I turned the page And saw three children with smiles I looked to see What I could make of the youngest child And as she blew the candles out She turned five How was I to know It was the best thing To come along for a long time What do the people at the end of the world do About time? What about time? Oh oh oh oh.... What do the people at the end of the world do About time? What about time? Their secret sleeps with me How was I to know It was the best thing To come along for a long time How was I to know It was the best thing To come along for a long time

La chanson évoque une relation empreinte de nostalgie et de simplicité, où deux personnes se découvrent mutuellement dans des moments de partage, comme de petits repas en terrasse avec un vin abordable. L’artiste se remémore des moments précieux et significatifs de sa vie, marqués par la magie de l’innocence de l’enfance et des souvenirs d'amour. En tournant la page de sa vie, elle réalise qu'elle a peut-être connu les plus belles choses sans vraiment s’en rendre compte sur le moment. Le contexte de cette mélodie date des années 70, une époque où les artistes exprimaient souvent des émotions sincères, reflétant les complexités des relations humaines et le passage du temps. Cette chanson particulièrement personnelle parle aussi d'un équilibre subtil entre les souvenirs du passé et la réalité du présent, un thème universel qui touche tout le monde.
