Holter, Julia - Les Jeux To You Lyrics






Yell out the shorter epithet
If you remember the order of the letters
'Cause I'm far away
I'm lonesome now, need the tender sound

Blue is it that I hope you'll say
How do I know what I think until I say it?
Air once nameless treasure
Then I'll be on my way again
What makes you think you can wait till 9?
Can't you play along?
Know the bubonic in the ice
I can't turn away
The old game you have to follow the rules
The clock is ticking, there's no other spiel to hum to
Morning intoning something blue

I can hope for it today
I wonder, though
If my heart tells me everything I need

I see I no I yes I you I ace I say I hi I low
I run I fall I can I true I fool I fog I bad I blue I knew I can I blood I food I grow I eyes I shirt I mind I room
I si I tho I sex I jeu I nice I hey I ay I show I fun I tall
I man I knew I cool I bog I sad I clue I blew I van I mud I nude I throw I wise I curt I find I neume

The letters are far out
Help me to the blue
I'm lonesome

I'm game
I go
I want
I can't resist um

Ain't I so bad I have to wait so long?
Like a good evening I lie mute and underwater
But I come up for air
Where is the meaning mean freedom?

When your word there's a consequence
You finally saying wasn't what I really needed
But I know today
I feel the life in the bluing light
What vulgar latin is spoke with shame?
All these laws here
So undernourished in the dark
I can't turn away
I'm stunned by what I wasn't saying new
Give me a mountain with snow that I can run through
Be a good listener though

Holter, Julia Les Jeux To You Comments
  1. s.... h....

    this sounds unlistenable , like it was recorded in some alternate universe and one of the sonical cornerstones then removed , hmm ya mood indigo , or just reaching beyond blue

  2. B.... C....

    Arrabal

  3. S.... F....

    Fando y Lis...

  4. C.... M....

    3:42 es muy fermosa

  5. C.... M....

    Julia Holter and Tashi Wada make such great music together... check out this song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=46BkLgZYK9M

  6. m.... ....

    that bass is Karn-ish

  7. r.... ....

    Reminds me of The Dresden Dolls.

  8. S.... F....

    .....I think is some sorta cult origin story....

  9. I.... R....

    Superb!

  10. C.... C....

    Pretty similar as Fando & Liz from Alejandro Jodorowsky, I would say a copy tho....

    C.... C....

    Yes, it's a reinterpretation. 6:24

  11. N.... P....

    Shades of David Sylvian. Wonderful.

  12. A.... Z....

    The Jodorowsky reference/parody is so cheap and out of place that nearly feels like cultural appropriation. Reading the comments I can also see that no one is getting it, which only makes it worse.

    A.... Z....

    I see it more as an hommage to Jodorowsky filmography than something harmful/parodic tbh. What makes you think its out of place/cheap?

    A.... Z....

    Also the director said : "After I heard “Les Jeux to You,” images from Fando y Lis, a film that has always haunted me, flooded my mind and I knew we had to reimagine it. Set in a dystopian future past, the two lovers escape to a mythical city and along the way are confronted with both terrifying figures of the unconscious and joyful memories of the past that accelerate a descent into madness. As a female artist, I felt the need to explore the anima of this myth and reinscribe the imagery as a mode of empowerment of the feminine directorial gaze.
    I knew it would be a challenge because it is a controversial film, but it was particularly unsettling to read the recent allegations against its director Alejandro Jodorowsky shortly after we made the video. It made me think more about the project and ultimately reinforced my original intention of reframing the work as a complex and nuanced take on the psychology of self-destructive relationships.

    There is a mysterious essence to this story, a sort of psycho-spiritual unravelling that I connect to the surrealist poetry of Julia's lyrics and music."

    A.... Z....

    Omg lol

    A.... Z....

    If we were in school together I would fulfill my social contract by shoving you into a locker

    A.... Z....

    I don't think it feels like cultural appropriation, simply because the video doesn't make any sense without knowing the film. It's just an obvious reinterpretation, showing Julia as Lis and Tashi Wada as Fando.

  13. L.... P....

    Fando y Lis

  14. T.... ....

    Devin Hoff is the real MVP

  15. S.... T....

    Nah, I'm gonna stay in tonight and eat flowers. Maybe later have an Ingmar Bergman nightmare.

    This is perfect.

  21. O.... J....

    I was like what the fuck am I listening to??? but at the same time I couldn’t stop listening

  22. S.... F....

    At first I thought this video was gonna be really crappy, and it was, but it was also wonderful and so cool

    It's about what could if we let our inner minds take us over and the realization that we all need to work at expressing ourselves to others.

    S.... F....

    that's some seriously shitty analysis right there

    S.... F....

    Lol yeah I was gonna put effort into it and then was like nah and sent

  23. S.... F....

    Yesssssssss!

  24. O.... L....

  25. K.... ....

    Kate should be proud.....

  26. D.... ....

    Би-2 - Серебро, привет

  27. I.... L....

    Such beautiful references

    I.... L....

    I just got Jodorowsky and Au Hasard Balthazar. Which others?

    I.... L....

    Aesthetically speaking, it also reminds me of The Seventh Seal and Daisies

  28. P.... E....

    Spellbinding in every sense. Holter is a treasure and this video is a fitting accompaniment to her artistry. Mystery and memory, dreams and desire.

  29. E.... I....
