"Nuit Blanche", la nouvelle chanson de Ben Heine, un duo avec la chanteuse Stefanie Moon.

NUIT BLANCHE 

6h du mat, tu tournes en rond 

Impossible de fermer l'oeil, tu sais pas pourquoi 

Cette ritournelle qui te revient sans cesse en tête 

Et qui t'empêche de trouver le sommeil 

Non n'aie pas peur 

Vois cette lueur 

Ouvre ton coeur 

Trouve le bonheur 

C'est un de ces jours ou tu restes chez toi 

Tu sais très plus bien si t'es libre ou pas 

Tu choisis pas toujours la vie que t'as 

C'est dur d'aimer quand t'es délaissé 

Le matin tu te forces à te lever 

Mais t'es encore plus crevé que la veille et dans ta tête 

Tout est gris et tourmenté. T'as l' impression 

De vivre au ralenti mais faut bien se bouger 

Fais le pour toi 

Garde l'espoir 

Et ces hommes là 

N'y pense même pas 

A cause de tes choix, tu t'es exclu du monde 

Qui se métamorphose et que tu ne reconnais plus 

Le temps passe et ne s'arrête pas 

Il ne restera plus que de vagues souvenirs 

Je suis là 

Viens vers moi 

Trouve moi 

N'abandonne pas 

On est perdu dans l'univers 

Tous sur la même planète, on n'est pas grand chose 

Au final, des petits amas de poussières 

Mais on a besoin des autres et pas de grandes théories 

Tu n'es pas seul 

Autour de toi 

Il y a des âmes 

Qui peuvent t'aimer 

Il reste encore une lueur, celle qui te fait tenir 

Des enfants que tu aimes et qui ont de beaux rêves 

Tu te rends compte que la famille c'est important 

Essentiel même pour la survie

Du graphisme à la musique: la reconversion de Ben Heine

Le Rochefortois Ben Heine est un artiste complet. Avec son nouveau clip "Hagards", il tourne la page du graphisme pour se tourner vers la musique.

On connaissait déjà le jeune artiste, Ben Heine, Rochefortois d'adoption, on connaissait ses talents en arts plastiques et notamment dans le graphisme. On connaît moins le musicien, et pourtant, dans son studio, depuis quatre ans, il compose ses musiques écrit des textes et réalise des clips.

"La musique permet d'exprimer des choses que je n'arrivais pas à exprimer dans l'art graphique. Ça me permet de toucher les gens de manière différente et surtout à travers les chansons et les textes, je peux exprimer des messages et des idées parfois de manière plus profonde parfois de manière plus subtile que je ne le faisais quand je quand je faisais du dessin ou la peinture. Donc pour moi c'est quelque chose d'enrichissant de passer d'un médium à un autre. C'est un gros challenge et c'est une source de satisfaction continue."

Son nouveau clip, intitulé "Hagards ", c'est une réaction aux attentats de Bruxelles et de France, qu'il l'a réalisé avec son ami cameraman Julien Dewitte.

Une condamnation du terrorisme que l'on doit subir et qui nous laisse hagards, c'est bien sûr le message de ce clip. C'est aussi un message d'espoir de se dire qu'il y a toujours une possibilité de rebondir et de retrouver une vie comme avant. Avec ce clip, Ben Heine tourne progressivement la page du graphisme qui reste évidemment présent dans son approche. Actuellement, l'artiste travaille sur de nouvelles chansons et d'autres projets musicaux alors que son clip "Hagards" fait son chemin sur le net.

"C'est par la musique que j'ai voulu partager mes émotions sur cette actualité lourde et pesante. La musique me permet aussi à travers les mots de pouvoir aborder cette thématique tout en subtilité, sans que ce soit trop trash ou trop léger, de manière juste adéquate, selon moi."

Paroles: HAGARDS

On est tous un peu hagards 

Après ce terrible cauchemar 

On aimerait garder l'espoir

Et revenir tout au départ

On voudrait bien avoir le temps

De savourer chaque moment

Ici bas tout brillera

Quand y'aura plus ces hommes là

Pour que disparaisse la douleur

Et qu’on n’ait plus jamais peur

Du dernier battement de coeur

De la dernière goutte de sueur

On n'est pas égalitaires

Même si on respire le même air

On n'est pas tous solidaires

Même si on creuse la même terre

Certains ne pensent qu'à eux mêmes

Quand d'autres savent dire "je t'aime"

Liberté, fraternité

Egalité, rêves éveillés

Certains se sont égarés

D'autres sont même enfermés

Dans une prison dorée

Do ré mi facile à solder

Stop à la violence

Il faut que s'arrête la démence

Tends la main vers l'étranger

Ne deviens pas un condamné

Vis l'amour et pas la haine

Ou c'est la mort qui t'entraîne

I'm A Clown 
Lyrics by Ben Heine

I gave you everything 

We spent so long together 

You used to be my darling 

We drank the same water 

Where have you been? 

Why do you hide? 

You were a queen 

Stay by my side 

I'm a clown 

A needy clown 

In the jungle 

Of your heart 

Why don't you understand 

We could relieve the pain 

Just give me your 2 hands 

We've got to try again 

Where have you been? 

Why do you hide?

You were a queen 

Stay by my side 

Believed in you so much 

Why did we change like that? 

Do you remember us? 

So young and beautiful. 

I'm a clown 

A needy clown 

In the jungle 

Of your heart

The Language of Love
Lyrics by Ben Heine

I came here for no reason 

Travelling all alone 

Right outside my little plane 

I got lost in the rain 

I crossed the pearly gate 

Looking for a soul mate 

Then I saw you in the crowd 

Flying on a voodoo cloud 

We escaped as an eclipse 

We fell deep in the bliss 

We forgot time and space 

We enjoyed this mighty place 

Your beauty woke me up 

You showed me your world 

Everything seemed possible 

As if I knew you forever 

You opened me your door 

Granting me passion and trust 

What we were looking for 

Infinity and star dust 

We walked on the same rainbow 

At night, side by side 

Not thinking about tomorrow 

We spoke the language of love

Heartbeats and earthquakes 

Kisses and Caresses 

They all resonate 

When I'm asleep or awake 

And now you're far away 

But we made that special wish 

That we would meet soon again 

The fire can't be extinguished 

It's just a matter of time 

Until our hearts stop bleeding 

Our souls will be fine 

If the sun keeps on shining 

Amour (Chanson originale de Ben Heine)

Music, music, music... Here is a bird with some electronic power! I took the pic and made the sketch as usual. I was sitting outside of a restaurant in Lisbon, Portugal. Several birds came and moved from one chair to another hoping to draw my attention to receive some food (I gave them all my bread, lol).

Yes, I may be a dreamer,
but I’m not the only one….

JOHN LENNON lyrics
Imagine
.

Imagine there’s no heaven
It’s easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today…

Imagine there’s no countries
It isn’t hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace…

You may say I’m a dreamer
But I’m not the only one
I hope someday you’ll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world…

You may say I’m a dreamer
But I’m not the only one
I hope someday you’ll join us
And the world will live as one

"There Were Tenors,

Then There Was Pavarotti"

.

(Ben Heine © Cartoons)

.

Luciano Pavarotti, 71 :
The Tenor Who Transcended
The World of Opera
.
By Richard Dyer
.

There were many great tenors in the second half of the 20th century, but for millions of people Luciano Pavarotti was the main man, the only one. His singing gave more pleasure to more people for a longer period of time than any other classical singer in history.
.

Mr. Pavarotti died the 6th of September at his home in Modena, Italy, after a long struggle with pancreatic cancer, his manager, Terri Robson, said. He was 71.

Mr. Pavarotti's operatic career lasted for more than four decades after his debut as Rodolfo in Puccini's "La Boheme" in Modena on April 29, 1961. His farewell appearance in opera was at the Metropolitan Opera in New York on March 13, 2004, his 383d performance in that venue.

But recordings, television, DVDs, arena concerts, charity events with such stars as U2 and the Spice Girls, and his partnership with Placido Domingo and José Carreras in Three Tenors concerts carried Mr. Pavarotti's fame far beyond the world of opera.

During his prime, his voice was incomparable, clear and ringing and suffused with sunlight all the way up to high C and beyond; his clear and fervent delivery of Italian words was a model, and so was his legato. His voice, infused with emotion, made love to every soprano he sang with and to every audience he sang to.

In a statement, Boston Symphony Orchestra music director James Levine, who collaborated with the tenor in 139 performances at the Met beginning in 1973, said Mr. Pavarotti's singing "spoke right to the hearts of listeners whether they knew anything about opera or not.

"I will never forget the sheer magic of that voice," Levine added, "but I will also remember the warm, generous, and exuberant spirit of the man. He is, rightfully, a legend already - an artist whose recordings will be a reference for singers and opera lovers for a long time to come."

A New York Times critic once wrote that Mr. Pavarotti's vocal cords were "kissed by God." When television interviewer Pia Lindstrom repeated this remark to him, Mr. Pavarotti replied, "God kissed you all over." The tenor's gregarious personality was as endearing as his voice, and he was always willing to help a younger singer.

"I always admired the God-given glory of his voice that unmistakable special timbre from the bottom up to the very top of the tenor range," Domingo said in a statement from Los Angeles. "I also loved his wonderful sense of humor and on several occasions of our concerts with José Carreras... we had trouble remembering that we were giving a concert before a paying audience, because we had so much fun between ourselves."

Mr. Pavarotti was born on Oct. 12, 1935. His father was an amateur singer and a baker; Mr. Pavarotti shared a wet-nurse with his lifelong friend and frequent costar, soprano Mirella Freni.

"My voice changed when I was about 15," Mr. Pavarotti once told the Globe. "At the beginning it was a very high tenor, and when I changed the voice I began to imitate the movies of Mario Lanza . . . all of them. He had a fantastic voice, not just a wonderful voice, but a fantastic voice."

The singer's ascent to superstardom did not come overnight. The voice was there from the beginning, and echoes of it stayed with him to the end, but it took him a while to acquire the security of technique, the experience, and the self-confidence that made his unique career possible.

An engagement as a last-minute substitute at the Royal Opera House in London in 1963 earned him a politically incorrect nickname ("Lucky Luciano") and led to an important connection with the soprano Joan Sutherland that was to continue throughout the rest of her career; many of Mr. Pavarotti's best opera recordings were made with Sutherland. The diva was planning a tour of her native Australia and was looking for a tall tenor that she could afford; Mr. Pavarotti filled the bill and sang more than 40 performances during two months. The tenor had reason to be grateful, for from Sutherland he learned the technique of breathing that carried him through decades of singing.

Mr. Pavarotti's Metropolitan Opera debut in 1968, in "La Boheme" opposite Freni, was only a modest success; he was suffering from the flu at the time. And in fact, it wasn't until 1972 that he became a superstar, when he sang in Donizetti's "La Fille du Regiment" opposite Sutherland and bounced out a legendary string of eight high C's in the tenor aria. After that there was no stopping him.

Although he restricted himself to a handful of roles at the beginning, his stage repertory grew to more than 25 roles, and he recorded several others that he never performed in the theater. He was usually content to play Pavarotti onstage, but in a few of his roles he did create memorable characterizations. His most famous portrayals were of the lovelorn country bumpkin Nemorino in "L'Elisir d'Amore," and as Riccardo in "Un Ballo in Maschera." His signature aria became "Nessun dorma" from Puccini's "Turandot," but he sang the role of Calaf onstage infrequently because he knew how strenuous it is, and he wanted to be able to keep on singing Nemorino. Soprano Shirley Verrett was a favorite colleague of Mr. Pavarotti's at the Met, in Italy, and on recordings. He called her "La Fabulosa."

"In his concerts, Luciano would throw his arms out wide, waving his white handkerchief, welcoming everyone," Verrett said. "People felt happier in his presence, and that's the way he was offstage too, open and giving."

"His voice," Verrett added, "was something beyond belief, and he worked hard to keep it that way. . . . In all our performances together he recorded himself. Anything that was not the way he wanted it to be was not there anymore at the next performance."

With the Metropolitan Opera on tour in Boston, Mr. Pavarotti sang in "La Fille du Regiment"; "Ballo"; "Tosca"; and "L'Elisir d'Amore." Beginning in 1975, he sang regular recitals for the Celebrity Series; the first time he was unable to draw a full house into Symphony Hall, a problem that never arose again. His last Symphony Hall recital was in 2000, and he returned a year later for a final arena concert in the Boston Garden.

As his celebrity grew, so did his perks. Walter Pierce, director of the Celebrity Series at the time, recalled the day in 1993 he went to pick up Mr. Pavarotti at the airport for a drive to the Boston Garden. His services weren't needed.

"When he landed at the airport, the plane opened its hatch and the cars drove out and took him straight to the old Boston Garden," Pierce said. "They drove up the ramp the circus uses to take the elephants in. He never once hit the ground until he walked out to sing."

Mr. Pavarotti and his tough-talking American manager, Herbert Breslin, were media-savvy. The singer appeared on television talk shows and in American Express ads, hosted "Saturday Night Live," and filmed a Hollywood movie, "Yes, Giorgio," which is remembered mostly for its food fight. His careerlong association with Decca/London records embraced complete operas, recital discs, religious songs, Christmas albums, and crossover material. Many of his stage performances and concert appearances are preserved on DVD as well.

As a celebrity, he was not able to avoid unpleasant publicity and scandal on a variety of fronts. He was accused, sometimes rightly, of laziness and faulty musicianship. It was always faintly comical to watch the Three Tenors anxiously consulting their windblown music stands while singing the familiar melodies the world loves best.

He may have sung too many years past his prime, but he told the Globe in 2000, "I enjoy singing so much, and people seem to enjoy listening to me, so I want to keep on doing it."

Mr. Pavarotti's fluctuating weight and habit in his later years of overdyeing his hair occasioned some additional unflattering commentary. He said he had an "important body" and once remarked to Sutherland, "Joan, we fat people know how it is." The diva replied: "Luciano, we are not fat. You are fat. I am big."

Health problems of various kinds led to frequent cancellations, restricted mobility on stage, and some bad relationships with opera companies. His tax problems provided fodder for the Italian tabloids. Mr. Pavarotti's famously roving eye led to several romantic adventures before his highly publicized divorce from his wife, Adua, in 2000, after 39 years of marriage.

In 2003, he married his administrative assistant, Nicoletta Mantovani, with whom he had been living for several years. In addition to his wife and their daughter, Alice, he leaves three daughters by his first wife: Lorenza, Cristina, and Giuliana. He also leaves one grandchild.

Erotica

Erotica, romance
My name is Dita
I'll be your mistress tonight
I'd like to put you in a trance

If I take you from behind
Push myself into your mind
When you least expect it
Will you try and reject it
If I'm in charge and I treat you like a child
Will you let yourself go wild
Let my mouth go where it wants to

Give it up, do as I say
Give it up and let me have my way
I'll give you love, I'll hit you like a truck
I'll give you love, I'll teach you how to ...

I'd like to put you in a trance, all over
Erotic, erotic, put your hands all over my body (repeat twice)
Erotic, erotic

Once you put your hand in the flame
You can never be the same
There's a certain satisfaction
In a little bit of pain
I can see you understand
I can tell that you're the same
If you're afraid, well rise above
I only hurt the ones I love

Give it up, do as I say
Give it up and let me have my way
I'll give you love, I'll hit you like a truck
I'll give you love, I'll teach you how to ...

I'd like to put you in a trance, all over
Erotic, erotic, put your hands all over my body (repeat twice)
Erotic, erotic

Erotica, romance
I'd like to put you in a trance
Erotica, romance
Put your hands all over my body

I don't think you know what pain is
I don't think you've gone that way
I could bring you so much pleasure
I'll come to you when you say
I know you want me
I'm not gonna hurt you
I'm not gonna hurt you, just close your eyes

Erotic, erotic (repeat several times)
Put your hands all over my body
All over me, all over me

Erotica, [give it up, give it up] romance
I'd like to put you in a trance
Erotica, [give it up, give it up] romance
I like to do a different kind of
Erotica, [give it up, give it up] romance
I'd like to put you in a trance
Erotica, romance
Put your hands all over my body

Only the one that hurts you can make you feel better
Only the one that inflicts pain can take it away
