Jil… Initiales de Jil Is Lucky et prénom d’un jeune artiste folk de 25 ans
Jil n’a que 7 ans lorsqu’il jette ses premiers accords sur une vieille guitare cassée.
Sa mère ne se doute pas que quelques années plus tard (à 12 ans) il accompagnera à la basse son grand frère dans des bars, toussant sur ses premières cigarettes et se planquant derrière l’ampli pour échapper aux contrôles de police.
C’est en voyageant que Jil va se découvrir et rencontrer au détour des rues de Prague, New York, Berlin ou Sidi Bel Abbès ceux qui l’accompagneront : The Memphis deput(i)es.
The Wanderer, premier titre du groupe marque la naissance officielle de Jil Is Lucky.
Après la sortie d’un maxi début 2008 qui connaît un beau succès d’estime, Jil et ses acolytes sortent leur premier album le 16 mars 2009.
Les influences de Jil, tout le monde les devine, mais tout l’art du chanteur réside en la manière de les célébrer. En écoutant Jil Is Lucky, on se surprendra à voir Léonard Cohen dansant ivre au son des cuivres de la Soul endiablée d’Otis Redding ; ou encore les Beach Boys et Jonathan Richman se livrant à un Ipod Battle sans merci dans un bar Antifolk du ghetto de Varsovie.
On ne sort jamais vraiment indemne d’une rencontre avec Jil Is Lucky, et les vrais chanceux, c’est nous.
40 Times A Day

say I'm an old fashioned latecomer
Like they say, like they say
to me over and over
and over again but I can't explain
all the reasons are fuzzy now
I'd like to say don't you think I'm funny now
oh, I,
Knowwwwwwwww
oooooooooooh
I ain't gonna change
noooooooooooo
oooooooooooooh
till you ring my bell
you can ask me the question
you can ask me the same thing
forty times a day
you won't get any answer
as my mind is flying
a thousand miles away
Now I
stuck in the middle of a party I hate
but I can't live without
still looking for secrets paths
the TV talks to me about
again and again but I can't explain
all the reasons are fuzzy now
I'd like to say
don't you think I'm funny now
oh, I,
Knowwwwwwwww
oooooooooooh
I ain't gonna change
noooooooooooo
oooooooooooooh
till you ring my bell
you can ask me the question
you can ask me the same thing
forty times a day
you won't get any answer
as my mind is flying
a thousand miles away
Now I
I'll be on time now
The lyrics to Jil Is Lucky's song "40 Times A Day" seem to capture the feeling of being stuck in a repetitive and mundane routine. The singer expresses a sense of being an old-fashioned latecomer, possibly feeling out of touch with the modern world. They mention that others constantly repeat the same things to them, which suggests a kind of monotony or lack of originality in their surroundings.
The lyrics also hint at a certain level of detachment or distraction. The singer admits that they can't quite explain their reasons for feeling this way, and their mind seems to be elsewhere, flying a thousand miles away. They mention being stuck in a party they hate but can't live without, which may symbolize a sense of being trapped in a situation or lifestyle they find unfulfilling.
Despite this feeling of being trapped, the singer asserts their refusal to change until someone "rings their bell," which could symbolize a significant event or person that could disrupt their current state. However, even if asked the same question forty times a day, they claim not to have any answer, further emphasizing their state of mental distance and detachment.
Overall, "40 Times A Day" seems to explore themes of monotony, detachment, and a longing for change or escape from a repetitive and unfulfilling routine. The lyrics are introspective and introspective, reflecting the singer's internal struggles and yearning for something more.

Day by day
As time passes
say I'm an old fashioned latecomer
Some people describe me as old-fashioned and always arriving late
Like they say, like they say
Just like they keep saying
to me over and over
Repeatedly to me
and over again but I can't explain
But I cannot provide an explanation
all the reasons are fuzzy now
I am unsure about all the reasons
I'd like to say
I wish to express
don't you think I'm funny now
Do you not find me amusing now?
oh, I,
Oh, I
Knowwwwwwwww
I am aware
oooooooooooh
A sound of realization
I ain't gonna change
I am not going to change
noooooooooooo
A sound of refusal
oooooooooooooh
A sound of realization
till you ring my bell
Unless you get my attention
you can ask me the question
You can inquire
you can ask me the same thing
You can repeat the same question
forty times a day
Numerous times every day
you won't get any answer
You will not receive any response
as my mind is flying
Because my mind is wandering
a thousand miles away
To a distant place
Now I
Now, I
stuck in the middle of a party I hate
Trapped at a party that I dislike
but I can't live without
Yet, I cannot live without
still looking for secrets paths
Continuously searching for hidden paths
the TV talks to me about
The television speaks to me regarding
I'll be on time now
From now on, I will be punctual
