CUBIST TOWN As recorded by Manfred Mann (From the 1968 Album MIGHTY GARVEY!) [Intro] [1st Verse] The world was just the world of pollen air I wandered ’round and ’round the busy square I turned and floated gently upside down And one by one the people gathered ’round [2nd Verse] The rivers and the bridges turned to blue The thin age of the night is creeping through The orange sun is dying on the line And slowly melts into the sea of wine [Chorus] Good night cubist town good night The day has vanished with the night The light has vanished with the day And the bride passed me quietly away [3rd Verse] The table grows the evening meal’s begun The wedding song of love has just been sung But there’s to much of this too much for me I go outside where darkness sets me free [Chorus] Good night cubist town good night The day has vanished with the night The light has vanished with the day And the bride passed me quietly away [4th Verse] I thought I saw the house where you were born A yellow house the color of the corn I thought I saw strange beasts out there in the sky But music filled my mind then they passed by [Chorus] Good night cubist town good night The day has vanished with the night The light has vanished with the day And the bride passed me quietly away But music filled my mind then they passed by [Outro] Good night cubist town good night The day has vanished with the night Good night cubist town good night The night has vanished with the day Good night cubist town good night The day has vanished with the night Good night cubist town good night

La chanson évoque une promenade mélancolique à travers une ville aux teintes cubistes, où le narrateur observe la beauté et la fragilité du monde qui l'entoure. Au gré des éléments, il se laisse emporter par la transition du jour à la nuit, contemplant des scènes de vie, un repas qui commence, et un amour chanté, tout en ressentant un profond sentiment de solitude. La présence d'une mariée qui s'éloigne renforce ce thème de séparation, comme une ombre qui disparaît dans l'obscurité. Le contexte de cette œuvre de 1968 fait écho à une époque de recherche et de bouleversements, où les formes d'art nouvelles et les expériences sensorielles font écho à une quête de sens dans un monde en constante évolution. Les images colorées et les émotions évoquées invitent à réfléchir sur l'amour, la mémoire et le passage du temps.
