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.
Dead star
Jil Is Lucky Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Who crosses deadlines
Always on time
I find myself wondering
How does it feel like
To be a dead star
To see in the dark
I realize that I am totally
Losing sight of verity oh now
A tao way window stuck in the black of my eyes
Is reflecting a deepest starless night
I’m the man
Who crosses deadlines
Always on time
I find myself wondering
How does it feel like
To be a dead star
How to see in the dark
I feel like waking up from reality
Flipping rules of gravity oh now
That the Tiger scratches the back of my head
Making me forget all that I have left
To become
The man
Who crosses deadlines
Always on time
I find myself wondering
How does it feel like
To be a dead star
How to stay in the dark
Remain in the dark
In "Dead star" by Jil Is Lucky, the lyrics portray a sense of introspection and questioning. The singer identifies as a person who consistently meets deadlines and is always punctual. However, this life of constant productivity leads them to wonder what it would be like to be a "dead star" and to see in the dark, metaphorically representing a state of emptiness or lack of purpose.
The lyrics also highlight a growing realization that the singer is losing sight of reality, losing touch with the truth. They describe their eyes as being stuck in the blackness, reflecting a starless night, which symbolizes a feeling of isolation and disconnection from the world around them.
As the song progresses, the singer expresses a desire to wake up from this sense of detachment from reality. They feel the need to challenge the established norms and rules, to break free from the constraints of gravity. The mention of the Tiger scratching their head suggests a disruptive force that disrupts their thoughts and makes them forget what they have left to become. This could signify a longing for transformation and a break from their current state.
Ultimately, the lyrics convey a longing to understand what it truly means to be a "dead star." The repetition of the question, "How does it feel like to be a dead star?" shows the singer's persistent curiosity about this existence. They also express a desire to stay in the dark, to remain in a state of uncertainty and mystery. This could reflect a desire to escape the pressures and expectations of their current life and embrace the unknown.

I’m the man
I am the one
Who crosses deadlines
Someone who surpasses time limits
Always on time
Consistently punctual
I find myself wondering
I frequently contemplate
How does it feel like
What is the sensation
To be a dead star
To exist without purpose or brilliance
To see in the dark
To perceive in the absence of illumination
I realize that I am totally
I become aware that I am completely
Losing sight of verity oh now
Becoming blinded to truth at this moment
A tao way window stuck in the black of my eyes
A path obstructed within the darkness of my vision
Is reflecting a deepest starless night
Reflecting a profound, devoid-of-stars night
I feel like waking up from reality
It seems as if I am emerging from actuality
Flipping rules of gravity oh now
Inverting the laws of gravity at this moment
That the Tiger scratches the back of my head
The fierce feline scratches the rear of my skull
Making me forget all that I have left
Causing me to disregard what remains
To become
To transform
How to stay in the dark
How to remain concealed
Remain in the dark
Sustain a state of obscurity
