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.
Don't Work
Jil Is Lucky Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You don't have to love the money
To live for the money and work that hard
Be content with flowers blooming
And children growing
And don’t work that hard
Just because your time is running
Now you're missing all
Please don't let the seasons go away
Try to make them stay
Five weeks in a year
It's like one second in a day
Please don't work that way
Please don't work so hard
Just because the time is running
Now you're missing all
Please don't let the seasons go away
Try to make them stay
Five weeks in a year
It's like one second in a day
So please don't work
that way
In this song, Jil Is Lucky is encouraging listeners to take a step back and appreciate the simple things in life. The lyrics suggest that we shouldn't be so focused on working hard and making money that we miss out on the beauty of life around us. The opening lines "You don't have to work that hard, you don't have to love the money" are a reminder that money and material possessions aren't everything in life. Instead, the singer encourages us to "be content with flowers blooming and children growing" and not to work so hard that we miss out on the simple pleasures of life.
The chorus of the song reinforces this message, with the repetition of the lines "Please don't let the seasons go away, try to make them stay" highlighting the fleeting nature of time and encouraging us to take the time to enjoy the seasons and the changing world around us. The lyrics suggest that life is not just about work and making money, but also about taking the time to enjoy the world and the people around us.
Overall, Jil Is Lucky's "Don't Work" is a reminder to listeners to take a step back from the demands of work and the pursuit of material possessions, and appreciate the simple pleasures that life has to offer.

Fuck, I had heard it but not the lyrics, now im bawling because "don't work that way" were some of the last words my very weakened father spoke to me (2 years since his passing); work stress probably being a major contributor to his cancer... ABOLISH WORK! YES THAT ESCALATED QUICKLY!
