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.
J.E.S.U.S. said
Jil Is Lucky Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Then the one who's next to you will love you too"
Then J.E.S.U.S said "Love your neighbours"
But he didn't know who'd be my neighbours
He didn't specify
Oooh Oooh Ooh
No he didn't specify
J.E.S.U.S said that "It can be easy to walk on water"
But even on the ground I feel myself trapped like a fly in a glass of water
J.E.S.U.S multiplied breads for all his brothers
But he forgot to give the recipe and let the world in a complete misery
He didn't specify
Oooh Oooh Ooh
He didn't specify
Oooh Oooh Oooh
He didn't specify
J.E.S.U.S said "Love the one who's next to you,
Then the one who's next to you will love you too"
Then J.E.S.U.S said "Love your neighbours"
But he didn't know who'd be my neighbours
He didn't specify
Oooh Oooh Ooh
No He didn't specify
Oooh Oooh Oooh
In "J.E.S.U.S. said," Jil Is Lucky reflects on the messages he has heard from religion and specifically from J.E.S.U.S. (the Biblical figure of Jesus). The opening lines are a call for compassion and to treat others as you would want to be treated, with the hope that this love will be reciprocated. However, the second verse brings a more cynical tone, with Jil Is Lucky acknowledging his own struggles to live up to these ideals. He feels trapped in his own problems, unable to reach the level of spiritual or personal transcendence that J.E.S.U.S. seems to have achieved.
In the final verse, Jil Is Lucky criticizes J.E.S.U.S. for speaking in platitudes and not offering concrete solutions to societal issues. For example, J.E.S.U.S. fed the hungry with his miraculous bread multiplication, but this miracle did not alleviate world hunger due to the lack of a recipe for others to follow. Ultimately, Jil Is Lucky suggests that the messages from J.E.S.U.S. (and perhaps religion as a whole) may not be enough to solve the complex problems of the world; specific solutions are needed, not just general encouragements to spread love and kindness.
