Do you have to be in a relationship to celebrate Valentine’s Day? Etienne Daho seems to give a negative answer in his new article. boyfriendwas opened especially on this holiday of love.
Do you have to be a couple to celebrate love? The temptation to say no is strong after listening boyfriend, Etienne Daho’s new work was released on February 14. This song seems to say that love is a personal feeling that involves only one person, the one who calls himself in love. Taken from the singer’s upcoming album, Shoot the stars at night (which is slated to release in the coming months, probably around mid-spring), it revolves around this crazy idea that the feeling of love overcomes you for no reason, enthralls you so much that it forces you to play multiple roles in turn. it is necessary to love another.
“I’ll be your friend, I’ll be your friend too,” Daho sings, hinting at one of the new love codes of the time, which consists of playing with the uncertainty of relationships, on the edge of friendship. and couple, friendship, and exclusive relationship. The song rejects these contradictions, taking them on and staging them like a theater of possibilities; “I will play all the men in your life, whom I will play.”
boyfriendwhich was released on Valentine’s Day, can be heard as a declaration of love for a loved one who is not present, but whoever is there, here the feeling of loneliness is important first, as well as the dynamics that arise from it and allow a lover who expresses is his feelings so that he can assume all possible roles in order to exist with the beloved.
Anthem of lonely lovers
“Love does not exist, only proofs of love are important.” this phrase was introduced by Jean Cocteau in the dialogues he wrote for the film. Ladies of the Bois de Boulogne seems to underlie Daho’s sung text. His words, his exciting rhythm, his “captivating” speed say that the lover is ready for anything, ready to let himself be invaded by this love, let himself be dissolved by it. We implicitly think of the declarations of love addiction that such songs were I want to be your dog The Stooges, Iggy Pop’s band, or I will be your mirror From the Velvet Underground, totemic songs for Daho that say you can lose yourself completely in love, like a drug.
His words, his exciting rhythm, his “captivating” speed say that the lover is ready for anything, ready to let himself be overwhelmed by this love.
We think so too lonely loversThis Leo hit, adapted from a song by Daho’s old accomplices Ellie and Jackno. boyfriend sounds like the negative of this last song. “Tell me you love me.”lonely loversDaho answers. “I’ll be very close / I’ll keep my distance well / Your fiercest poison / Your son of joy, your white star.” It seems that the feeling of love, according to Daho, could exist alone. To the true single lovers, those who give their love without expecting anything in return, Etienne Daho has just offered the most beautiful hit in existence.
