1st) … Read Full Bio ↴There are at least six artists/bands, who are called "Leslie".
1st) Leslie, born February 4, 1985 in Le Mans (France) is a young R 'n B singer with French, Vietnamese and Polynesian origins, revealed by a show on the M6 channel "Graines de Star" (Seeds of Star). She works with the duet Koré & Skalp, of which one of the two members is her husband.
From 2004 until 2005, she gained enormous fame in France with her LPs "Je suis et je resterai" and "Mes couleurs" with the hitsingles "Sobri (Notre Destin)" with Amine and "Et J'Attends". In 2006, she released her first single of her third album called "L'envers de la terre".
2nd) Rising out of Charleston, SC, the city of dignity and grace, three musicians have come together to form the dynamic trio known as LESLIE. Combining raw energy and powerful musicianship, Sadler Vaden (vocals, guitar), Jason Fox (bass) and Jonathan Carman (drums) infuse rock, pop, and blues to create an honest, in-your-face rock n roll sound that is becoming all their own.
Formed in October of 2004, LESLIE spent the better part of 2005 recording their first E.P., touring, and building a fan base around the southeast. In 2006, LESLIE has already recorded a new collection of songs with Jake Sinclair (The Films), and has begun touring heavily as a part of their grassroots-style campaign to the top.
LESLIE draws influences from the likes of The Who, The Jimi Hendrix Experience, The Rolling Stones, Neil Young, and Oasis. The influences have collaborated to form one solid three piece band that challenges the new wave rock of today. The band is currently on tour in support of their new collection of songs labeled "Bee St. Sessions".
3rd) The ever-incestuous Washington D.C. scene was the fertile ground that gave birth to Leslie--a one-off project boasting members of Shudder to Think, Jawbox, and Edsel. Avant-pop for the international set or tricked out rock-n-roll for our outerspace mailorder customers. Whichever it is, Smashing Pumpkins guitarist James Iha offered to produce a full-length album for the trio, and whatever you think of him, we still think that was pretty cool. (Also available as part of Jade Tree’s retrospective CD, The First Five Years [JT1050])
4th) A Mexican indie rock band from Guadalajara city with a first album called "National Star". The band's name is spelled L E S L I E and is integrated by Kaiser, Oby, DaN and Alex. Their sounds are highly influenced by the 80's pop glam music.
5th) A young Czech pop-rock band. Their first album "Fragments of The World" came out in early 2018.

West Side Story
Leslie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hey
J'veux être Jackie pas Maryline, un peu Mrs Smith et j'veux prendre le risque Ooh de vivre à cent mille à l'heure, sentir les battements de ton coeur, te dire oui sur John comme Fever.
Etre ta seule et unique âme soeur.
Refrain:
Toi et moi cest west side story ensemble pour la vie qu'importe le prix c'est ce qu'on c'est promis
Toi et moi cest west side story ensemble pour la vie, tu braves l'interdit, j'suis ton alibi.
J'rêvais d'être une Nikita, une fille qui craint pas les coups de feux, les coups bas ooh avec toi j'vis à fond chaque seconde, jme repasse le film en boucle sur toutes les ondes ooh, jveux vivre et mourrir pour toi puisque tu es mon seul ange gardien puisque tu veilleras sur moi, j'suis pas du genre à rendre les armes
Refrain
On a une chance sur 2 pour tomber pour de vrai, sache qu'il y a dans mes yeux bien plus d'amour que de tristesse
Refrain
The song "West Side Story" by Leslie is about wanting to live life to the fullest with the person she loves, regardless of any risks or obstacles. The lyrics suggest a desire to be like powerful female characters in movies such as Jackie from "Jackie Brown" and Nikita from "La Femme Nikita," who are not afraid to take risks and stand up for themselves. Leslie wants to be the heroine of her own story, and wants to live at 100 miles per hour, feeling the beating of her lover's heart and saying yes to adventures.
The chorus emphasizes the idea that no one can stop the duo from being together, no matter what happens. It references the movie "Pulp Fiction," with a comparison to driving at full speed like in a Tarantino film, and implies a willingness to do anything for love. The reference to "West Side Story" in the title suggests a sense of romance and passion, despite obstacles like social class or rivalry. Leslie is committed to her lover and is willing to take risks for their relationship.
Overall, the song is a declaration of love and a desire for adventure and excitement with the person she loves, acknowledging the risks but willing to face them together. It presents a strong female character who is independent and passionate about her relationship, looking for a partner who shares her values and desire for adventure.

I dreamt of being a Nikita, a girl who isn't afraid of gunshots, low blows. Oh, with you, I live every second to the fullest, I replay the movie over and over on all channels. Oh, I want to live and die for you, since you are my only guardian angel, since you will watch over me, I'm not the type to give up.

Chorus
On a une chance sur 2 pour tomber pour de vrai, sache qu'il y a dans mes yeux bien plus d'amour que de tristesse
