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.
Supernovas
Jil Is Lucky Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Now I know I am not
They say "Boy you're living on the moon"
But I swear I am not
If I could I surely would take a plane
And watch the world from the bright side, from the good side
And make an air pocket in my cloudy mind
I always wanted to become a real real man
Now I know I know I know I am not
The say "Boy you should try to keep your feet down on the ground"
But I swear I can not
If I could I surely would take a plane
And watch the world from the bright side, from the good side
And make an air pocket in my cloudy mind
Where burning supernovas seem like dying candle lights
I always wanted to become a good good boy
Now I know I am not
The lyrics of "Supernovas" by Jil Is Lucky seem to be about feeling like an outsider, not fitting in, and not being able to conform to societal expectations of what a "good boy" or a "real man" should be like. The singer longs to escape his current situation and find a brighter, more positive perspective. He wishes he could take a plane and see the world from above, where everything would seem new and exciting. He wants to create a mental space where the intense and overwhelming experiences of life would seem more manageable, and where even the most frightening things (like "burning supernovas") would appear less daunting.
The song seems to be about the struggle to find one's place in the world, and the frustration that comes with feeling like one doesn't belong. The singer seems to be saying that he'll never be able to be the person that others want him to be, but that he's okay with that - he's happy to be on his own path, even if it's not always easy.
Overall, the lyrics of "Supernovas" are quite poetic and evocative, and they seem to be about the paradoxical nature of existence - how things can be both beautiful and terrifying at the same time, and how we as humans try to find a way to make sense of it all.

I always wanted to become a good good boy
I used to want to be a well-behaved person
Now I know I am not
But now I realize that I am not that person
They say 'Boy you're living on the moon'
People tell me that I am detached from reality
But I swear I am not
But I am adamant that I am not living in my own world
If I could I surely would take a plane
If possible, I would travel to see the world from a different perspective
And watch the world from the bright side, from the good side
I would like to see the positive aspects of life
And make an air pocket in my cloudy mind
I want to clear my thoughts and find peace and clarity within myself
Where burning supernovas seem like dying candle lights
A peaceful state of mind where even the most intense things seem manageable
I always wanted to become a real real man
I have also aspired to be a confident and successful man
Now I know I know I know I am not
But once again, I am aware I fall short of this ideal
They say 'Boy you should try to keep your feet down on the ground'
Others advise me to stay grounded and realistic
But I swear I can not
But I cannot help but dream and aspire for something greater
