Versiunea celor de la Nouvelle Vague pentru “In a Manner of Speaking”, un cover foarte bland si suav, de pe albumul Nouvelle Vague (2004).

Melodia nu are un videoclip. Clipul de mai sus e un montaj al unui fan.

Varianta originala In a Manner of Speaking apartine celor de la Tuxedomoon, o trupa de Post-punk/New Wave experimental care canta aproape neintrarupt din 1977.

Nouvelle Vague

Nouvele Vague e o trupa frantuzeasca ce se ocupa cu coveruri misto. Numele e un fel de joc de cuvinte care se refera simultan la originea lor frantuzeasca, la sursele melodiilor (majoritatea coveruri rock, post-punk, si new wave) si stilul de orchestratie – bossa nova, din anii ’60.

Versiunea orginala a celor de la Tuxedomoon

Unii spun ca suna inspaimantator, nu e adevarat. Nu e la fel de suava ca si coverul, dar suna bestial instrumentele.

Versuri In a Manner of Speaking

In a Manner of speaking
I just want to say
That I could never forget the way
You told me everything
By saying nothing

In a manner of speaking
I don’t understand
How love in silence becomes reprimand
But the way that i feel about you
Is beyond words

Oh give me the words
Give me the words
But tell me nothing
Ohohohoh give me the words
Give me the words
That tell me everything

In a manner of speaking
Semantics won’t do
In this life that we live we only make do
And the way that we feel
Might have to be sacrified

So in a manner of speaking
I just want to say
That just like you I should find a way
To tell you everything
By saying nothing.

Oh give me the words
Give me the words
But tell me nothing
Ohohohoh give me the words
Give me the words
That tell me everything

Oh give me the words
Give me the words
But tell me nothing
Ohohohoh give me the words
Give me the words
That tell me everything
