Good man by Raphael Saadiq

Un régal pour les oreilles!!!

Issue de son cinquième album studio nommé « Stone Rollin » sorti le 25 mars dernier, Raphaël Saadiq nous offre une vraie balade mélancolique. Ne vous fiez pas à son nom. Le chanteur originaire d’Oakland en Californie est l’un des principaux leaders du mouvement néo-soul au Etats-Unis, ce morceau en témoigne.

« Good man » met en scène la vie d’un homme torturé psychologiquement par les péripéties de la vie mais qui reste toujours le torse bombé et droit dans ses bottes. Ce petit film retranscrit le coté mélancolique de la chanson. NOW LISTEN:

LYRICS:

Good man, I’m a good man, food’s on the table, working two jobs,
Waiting willing the neighbors check your name
I’m having fun, got no kids and I love the Lord, check your name
I’m a never…did time but maybe just once, check your name
And I puts it down, wanna see it twice, brother puts it down, check

How could you ever walk away, after all I’ve done for you
I feel like there is a knife in my back, babe
You might as well put it all the way trought

Good man, I’m a good man, food’s on the table, working two jobs
Waiting willing the neighbors check your name
I’m having fun, got no kids and I love the Lord, check your name
I’m a never…did time but maybe just once, check your name
And I puts it down, wanna see it twice, brother puts it down, check

You watched them hand cuff me lady and walk me to my room

I never been so humiliated, I don’t think that I deserve it for you
Good man, I’m a food man, food’s on the table, working two jobs
Waiting willing the neighbors check your name
I’m having fun, got no kids and I love the Lord, check your name
I’m a never…didi time but maybe just once, check your name
And I puts it down, wanna see it twice, brother puts it down, check

I never been, I never been so much pain, never
My life is better, my love is pretty, so much better now
Without you, I never had so…without you, whenever inside
How could you…just…walk away
When the things go rough you quickly ran into somebody say, I never been there
There’s one thing I know so I’ma tell you what I am a good man back to you a good man
Good man, good man, good man.
