A short story about a big love…<\/p>\n

Napol\u00e9on aurait-il aim\u00e9 vivre en Su\u00e8de\u00a0? Il le clamait fi\u00e8rement en ce lundi 23 janvier 2017, sous les dorures des Folies-Berg\u00e8re et les traits de Neil Hannon…<\/p>\n

Assumant sans complexe le tricorne, le d\u00e9guisement, la d\u00e9rision et la d\u00e9mesure (Napoleon’s complex<\/i>), le divin songwriter<\/i> fait une entr\u00e9e tonitruante au son de Sweden. <\/i>\u00ab\u00a0C’est bon d’\u00eatre de retour.\u00a0<\/i>\u00bb On ne dira pas le contraire !<\/p>\n

Tout au long de la soir\u00e9e, Neil et ses musiciens m\u00ealent les anciennes chansons (Perfect Lovesong<\/i>, The Frog Princess<\/i>, Generation Sex<\/i>, Alfie<\/i>, Something for the Weekend<\/i>, National Express…<\/i>) et les titres extraits du dernier album de The Divine Comedy (Foreverland<\/i><\/a>, septembre 2016). La chanteuse Cathy Davey (qui est aussi la fianc\u00e9e de Neil, sa Catherine the Great<\/i>), le rejoint sur leur duo Funny Peculiar<\/i>, interpr\u00e9t\u00e9 avec fantaisie et fra\u00eecheur.<\/p>\n

La petite fanfaronnade des d\u00e9buts fait pourtant vite place \u00e0 une plus grande gravit\u00e9. En Dupond\/t de la City, dandy strict \u00e0 chapeau melon, Neil laisse s’installer une \u00e9trange m\u00e9lancolie de cabaret, dans une r\u00e9miniscence des ann\u00e9es 1930. Il raille le merveilleux monde de la finance (\u00ab\u00a0I cause the Second Great Depression, what can I say<\/i>?\u00a0\u00bb, The Complete Banker<\/i>) et \u00e9voque la mont\u00e9e des \u00ab\u00a0fascismes\u00a0\u00bb (The Pact<\/i>)… Est-ce le cadre art d\u00e9co un brin kitsch des Folies-Berg\u00e8re, est-ce l’atmosph\u00e8re fin de si\u00e8cle\u00a0<\/i>? Tout se voile de froide inqui\u00e9tude et de nostalgie poignante\u00a0; je retrouve l’\u00e9motion primaire de ces chansons fredonn\u00e9es, encore et encore, depuis presque vingt ans.<\/p>\n

Puis la folie nous embarque. Nous nous levons, nous dansons (At the Indie Disco<\/i>, Alfie<\/i>, Something for the Weekend<\/i>, Generation Sex<\/i>…) dans d’heureux \u00e9chos du premier concert de Neil Hannon auquel j’ai assist\u00e9, en 1999, \u00e0 l’Olympia. Il y a trois jours comme alors, Tonight We Fly<\/i> retentit et emporte tout\u00a0: la joie et la peine, l’ombre des temps inqui\u00e9tants et l’effervescence, la nostalgie et les esp\u00e9rances.<\/p>\n

\u00ab\u00a0Tonight we fly
\nOver the mountains
\nThe beach and the sea
\nOver the friends that we’ve known
\nAnd those that we now know
\nAnd those who we’ve yet to meet<\/em><\/p>\n

And when we die<\/em>
\n Oh, will we be<\/em>
\n That disappointed<\/em>
\n Or sad<\/em><\/p>\n

If heaven doesn’t exist<\/em>
\n What will we have missed<\/em>
\n This life is the best we’ve ever had.\u00a0\u00bb<\/em><\/p>\n

Loose Canon<\/i>, album de la tourn\u00e9e live 2016-2017 de The Divine Comedy, est sorti le 16 f\u00e9vrier 2018. Sur la pochette, Neil arbore sans complexe ses atours imp\u00e9riaux.<\/b><\/p>\n
