Goodbye loneliness and heartache, hello polos, rackets and guitars - because rackets are also instruments with strings.
Flashmatchs
An encounter which took place in the mid-90s, in the orchestra of the local Chaville conservatoire , where a simple Pearl Jam T-shirt worn by one attracts the eye of the other. Two teenagers who had always snubbed each other started up a conversation about Eddie Vedder and Kurt Cobain... The beginning of a love story between two best friends– and like all greatest stories it started with a T-shirt.
A few years later, after the french touch , Pierre and Victor woke up with a hangover and decided they had something to announce: "let’s racket the house”. They have the name... to racket the house becomes Housse de Racket: the duo has found its way, its identity, its banner, its ideal of life… its fate. Game, set and match!
The story of Melody Nelson Monfort
Victor and Pierre start working on a crazy rock opera project – a concept which could be to the MP3 generation what Stevie Wonder, the Beatles or the soundtrack of Phantom Of the Paradise were to our parents. Pure cult! The pitch: Vico Vix and Repi Rep, two tennis superstars are rich, beautiful, young and famous. All the girls are crazy about them – all of them? No Repi Rep wants only one... At a conference after a match, he falls madly in love
with the young and attractive Gwendoline. Repi Rep declares: "She is my Forty-love! ". Now, the challenge is simple: how to seduce Gwendoline? You can bet that Housse de Racket’s first single will win the heart of the girl... "Housse de racket" stands out as a “overhead smash” rock hymn. Perfectly balancing smooth soulful vintage synths and funky pop guitars, they offer an exciting duel between McEnroe and McCartney, love and emotion, humor and ambition!
Jet, Set and Match!
Behind the conceptual “joke”, Housse de Racket produce finely tuned pop music. Many have been already seduced: Fugu, Benjamin Diamond, Flairs, Brigitte Fontaine, Alex Gopher, Tekilatex, Darkel, as well as Phoenix. Pierre and Victor have been practising with some of the best players, while shaping their own definition of what is pop - an abbreviation of “popular“ - which
doesn’t necessarily rhyme with “vulgar”. Now Housse de Racket seems to be ready to move into the big league.
And like the great Serge and the Rita Mitsouko this EP could unify hip clubbers, grannies, Dutronc fans, and indie pop intellectuals. Let the match begin!
Chateau
Housse de Racket Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My husband isn't here
This place, this place is what
I was looking for
We go for a walk in the park
Before it's getting dark
We've got everything but I want more, more, more, more
Everybody wants to get our heads
Between high and the low
C'est la vie de Château
Everybody wants to get our heads
Between high and the low
C'est la vie de Château
No time for dreaming
Once I was a queen
Forever it is a long, long time
We don't talk but it's fine
We go for a walk in the park
This place is falling apart
He doesn't love me, no anymore more, more, more
[Refrain]
The song "Chateau" by Housse de Racket seems to be about a person who has reached a high status of wealth and fame, but is still unsatisfied and seeking more. The first verse mentions that there is "no time for dreaming" and that the person's husband is not present, suggesting that the singer is busy with their luxurious lifestyle and perhaps feeling lonely. However, the singer also expresses that they have found the place they were looking for, implying that they have achieved their goals to some extent. Despite this, they still desire more.
The chorus uses the phrase "C'est la vie de Château," which translates to "that's the life of a castle." This phrase is often used to describe the lavish lifestyle of French nobility, emphasizing the opulence and excess contrasted with the lower class. The verse mentions that "everybody wants to get our heads between high and low," which could mean that people are envious of the singer's status and may try to bring them down or exploit them somehow. The repetition of "more, more, more" in both verses and in the chorus emphasizes the singer's desire for even greater wealth and satisfaction.
Overall, the lyrics suggest a need for more fulfillment and connection in the midst of an extravagant and perhaps isolating lifestyle. The chorus contrasts the high and low extremes of society, highlighting the tension between the privileged and the common.
