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.
Not at all
Jil Is Lucky Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I wish I could tell you all
the things I know
all I know
I sang for good old friends of mine
I sing since a long long time
long time ago
now I’ve grown old I let the people know
yesterday
was another day
believe me when I say
that this is not
this is not the way I planed it
not at all
not the way I planed it at all
that light and all that noise in my head
I don't know, baby I don't know it at all
I was wandering around and down
the streets
I was cleaning out
when I was younger
only two years younger
I figured out it was unlikely
the way they stared at me
what could that be they were asking me
an ant or a bee ?
yesterday
was another dayhear me when I say
that this isn't the
this is not the way I planed it
not at all
not the way I planed it at all
that light and all that noise in my head
I don't know, baby I don't know it at all
no no no no
I wasn't invited
to the parties I missed
and now
all those faces in my head
are burning burning
well well well I know
you heard me on the radio
well I know, but you used to
turn up your nose at me before
I wish I could tell you more
this is not the way I planed it
not at all
not the way I planed it at all
that light and all that noise in my head
I don't know, baby I don't know it at all
The lyrics of Jil Is Lucky's song "Not at all" explore themes of regret, introspection, and a sense of not fitting in with society's expectations. The first verse expresses a longing to share one's inner thoughts and experiences with others, but also hints at a sense of isolation that comes with growing older. The singer reflects on their past, how they have been singing for a long time, and the evolution of their relationships with old friends.
The chorus emphasizes a feeling of disconnection from their own plans and aspirations. The repetition of "not at all" underscores the sense of disappointment and confusion in not recognizing the path their life has taken. The mention of "light and all that noise in my head" suggests inner turmoil and uncertainty about their own thoughts and feelings. The singer admits a lack of understanding and control over their own emotions and circumstances.
In the second verse, the singer recalls a time when they were younger and felt out of place, as if people were judging or questioning them. The imagery of being stared at like "an ant or a bee" conveys a sense of vulnerability and insecurity. The repetition of "yesterday was another day" echoes the idea of constantly feeling out of sync with the world around them.
The final verse touches on themes of validation and recognition from others. The singer acknowledges that while they may have gained some success or visibility, there are still lingering feelings of not being fully accepted. The plea to "turn up your nose at me before" indicates a desire for understanding and acceptance from those who may have overlooked them in the past. Overall, the song conveys a poignant mix of nostalgia, longing, and a search for personal identity and belonging.

I was wandering around and down the streets
I roamed through the streets
I figured out it was unlikely
realized it was improbable
what could that be they were asking me
pondering the questions others had for me

well I know, but you used to turn up your nose at me before
I understand, although you previously looked down on me
I wish I could tell you more
