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.
The Wanderer
Jil Is Lucky Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And they don’t need a job
They just need time
To grow and die
And the lovers on their cloud
don’t give a shit about the money
They're here to try
To stay side by side
'Cause the morning always comes to kill the dream
You had the night before
Well I’m dragging myself all along the pavement
Up in the sky, there’s someone behind
And he’s guiding my steps
Up and down the life stairs
Helps me thereby leaving again
And I’m walking all damned day
Day after day
But it’s okay
I’m on my way
Wandering again from the West to the East
I try to resist
But it’s so hard not to fall
'Cause the morning always comes to kill the dream
You had the night before
Well I’m dragging myself all along the pavement
Up in the sky, there’s someone behind
And he’s guiding my steps
Up and down the life stairs
Helps me thereby leaving again
The Wanderer by Jil Is Lucky is a song that explores the themes of life, love, and the struggle to find one's place in the world. The song begins with the singer reflecting on the beauty of flowers in his room, noting that they don't need a job or money to live, but merely time. He contrasts this with the struggles of human love, where it's so hard to stay side by side, especially when morning comes to kill the dream from the night before.
The lyrics also describe the singer wandering through life, walking along the pavement day after day, dragging himself along as he tries to resist falling. He's searching for something, wandering from the West to the East, while someone in the sky guides his steps up and down the "life stairs," helping him leave again. This could be interpreted as the singer's struggles with finding his purpose or place in the world.
In essence, The Wanderer is a song about the human condition and the need to find meaning and purpose in life. It's a poignant reminder of the beauty of nature and the struggles of human love, and the importance of persevering through life's difficulties as we search for our own path.

There are flowers in my room
I have flowers in my room
And they don’t need a job
They don't need to work or earn money to survive
They just need time
They require time to grow and bloom
To grow and die
Eventually, they will wilt and wither away
And the lovers on their cloud
There are two people in love, metaphorically portrayed as being on a cloud
don’t give a shit about the money
Money isn't important to them
They're here to try
They are present to make an effort
To stay side by side
They want to be together
But it’s so hard
It's challenging to maintain their relationship
'Cause the morning always comes to kill the dream
The dawn brings an end to the dream
You had the night before
That was experienced during the previous night
Well I’m dragging myself all along the pavement
I'm walking on the concrete street
Up in the sky, there’s someone behind
There is something or someone above me
And he’s guiding my steps
He's leading me in the right direction
Up and down the life stairs
Through the ups and downs of life
Helps me thereby leaving again
Helping me move forward even as he departs
And I’m walking all damned day
I'm walking all day, every day
Day after day
Continuously
But it’s okay
It's alright
I’m on my way
I'm making progress
Wandering again from the West to the East
Roaming around aimlessly from one place to another
I try to resist
I attempt to resist
But it’s so hard not to fall
It's difficult not to fail or give in

C'est incroyable de joie, de paix, de liberté... J'aime cette envolée lyrique, la palette de couleurs qu'est notre monde... Un gros coup de coeur, j'écoute en boucle...

Creo que como la mayoría aquí, tenía muchas ganas de saber cual era esa canción, siempre subía el volumen del TV en el comercial de Flower by Kenzo :) Es muy buena agrupación, comienzas a buscar sus canciones y son geniales!
@waxy17
It's the best song of my life ! Thanks Kenzo for this discovery ! :)
@koigokoroinsfired3302
Ma mère et moi adorions cette chanson, on l'écoutait beaucoup il y a 10 ans. Aujourd'hui, elle est passée à la radio dans la station service où on s'était arrêtés, donc nous revoilà ici, à l'écouter en boucle. 💜

Les plus belles chansons sont celles dont on ne lasse jamais. Je crois que celle là en fait partie. ♥.

I think I am the only person who have never watched Kenzo Flower and discovered this song randomly on a Spotify.
@anthonytran5506
I don't watch tv so me too bro . But my friend show me this song not spotify xD.
@cesarrios1452
Yes, you are special
@glaucovillasboas8212
@@cesarrios1452 Omg, you made my day! I don't hear it for ages. My mother used to say I'm special and then some bullies on the school told me "Are you special? I think you are" but after school no one has ever told me that again, but then here you are, reminding me I am special - it means a lot to me

@@cesarrios1452 I read you comment from 8 years ago and you watched the Kenzo Flower ads. I still think I'm the only person IN THE WORLD that listens to this and has never watched the Faustão TV program
