Chance Meeting At The Tarantula

John Mellencamp

Transposer:

[Intro] [Verse] Hey don’t I know you from somewhere Yeah it was down in New Orleans In one of those backstreet bars in the French Quarter Between Desire Street and Honalee You were dancin’ with a friend of Michael’s I remember how we met You were talkin’ to ol’ Jimmy And you lit my cigarette [Chorus] How come you can’t remember? This is me you’re talkin to From May through September It was all about me and you baby It was all about me and you [Verse] Well it looks like to me That you have conveniently Forgotten everything This confusion that has surrounded you Is your morality and not your brain You’ve got a birthmark below your navel You wear a size seven and a half shoe You got this Rolex watch that I suspect you cobbed From that doctor who said he loved you [Chorus] How come you can’t remember? This is me you’re talkin to From May through September It was all about me and you baby It was all about me and you [Instrumental] [Verse] Well you told me that you lived on the wind Like a bird who never touched the ground And if you did you would surely die Without making a sound Live let’s live that’s all you kept sayin’ And our summer was full of life We’re gonna send them a postcard And show ’em what it’s like to be alive But I never wanted to leave your side No I just couldn’t believe that you’d lie No I never wanted to say good-bye baby [Chorus] How come you can’t remember? This is me you’re talkin to From May through September It was all about me and you baby It was all about me and you

La chanson évoque une rencontre marquante à New Orleans, où deux personnes se souviennent d’un été intense qu'elles ont partagé ensemble. L’un des protagonistes se rend compte que l’autre semble avoir oublié cette connexion profonde, malgré des détails personnels et des moments partagés qu’il ne peut pas ignorer. La nostalgie flotte sur les souvenirs d’une liberté éclatante et d’une complicité éphémère, comme si le temps s’était suspendu entre mai et septembre. Le cadre de l'histoire, qui se déroule dans le quartier français de la ville, ajoute une atmosphère vibrante et mélancolique. Les interactions évoquent un sentiment de légèreté, presque magique, où l’évasion et l’insouciance dominent, mais la réalité de l’oubli s’installe, créant un contraste saisissant entre la joie des moments vécus et la douleur de la perte des souvenirs.
