Montana

James Taylor

Transposer:

I'm not smart enough for this life I've been livin' A little bit slow for the pace of the dream. It's not I'm ungrateful for all I've been given; But nevertheless just the same... I wish to my soul I was back in Montana High on my mountain and deep in the snow. Up in my cabin over the valley Under the blankets with you Oo - - -ver the ocean from here.( OHH OOH OHHH Oh) Oo- - - - -ver the mountains from there( OHH OOH OHHH Oh) But who can imagine the scale of the forces that Pushed this old mountain range up in the sky? Tectonic creation erosion mutation; Somethin' to pleasure God's eye. The world is a wonder of lightnin' and thunder And green of the ground as we fall from the sky. The old and new faces the tribes and the races... Thousands of places to try.. One sits and waits while the other one wanders And squanders his time with a life on the road. Down from the mountain across the wide ocean The world is in motion and cannot be slowed. Enough for today... the demands of the moment The thing on my mind is the work in my hand. Wood for the woodstove and water for coffee Somethin' I can still understand. We got a few friends but not many neighbors The trip into town takes us most of the day. And after "Hello" and "it's sure good to see you" It seems like there's nothin' to say Oo - -- - - - --ver the ocean from here.

La chanson évoque un sentiment de nostalgie et de quête de simplicité dans un monde complexe. Le narrateur se sent un peu perdu et réalise qu'il n'est pas à la hauteur des exigences de la vie moderne. Toutefois, il exprime un profond désir de retourner à Montana, où la nature et la tranquillité lui apportent réconfort et bonheur. Cette nostalgie se mêle à des réflexions sur la grandeur de la création, avec des images puissantes de montagnes, d'océan et de la beauté du monde qui l'entoure. Le contexte semble être celui d'une vie décalée entre le quotidien et une aspiration à un lieu paisible. La vie sur la route et les relations parfois superficielles renforcent ce besoin de connexion authentique. Entre le travail manuel et les échanges fugaces avec les voisins, le narrateur trouve une forme de réconfort dans la simplicité et les éléments familiers de la vie.
