Sebastien Tellier
'Broadway'
(Lucky005)
Released:06.02.06
Sebastien
Tellier, Parisian musical maestro and
performer extraordinaire returns with a brand
new version of 'Broadway' on February
6th 2006.
Taken from his highly acclaimed album 'Politics',
'Broadway' is a shout out to good ol'
Private Rico from Robert Heinlein's 1959 Science
Fiction novel, & later the Paul Verhoeven-directed
futuristic military thrill ride movie, "Starship
Troopers". The call is for
irresistibly primal hero Rico to come save us
as outside chaos reigns all around.
Once again Sebastien captures the bittersweet
dichotomy of life within his own unique melodic
multi-layering, soothing empowerment & vocal
assurance that deliver us all safely back into
the here & now.
'Broadway' follows the massive
club, press, & radio praise received by 'La Ritournelle'- considered by many to be one of singles of 2005
- & once again has been reworked by one-time
Kylie collaborator Mr. Dan. The single also
comes with new mixes courtesy of Chicken
Lips' electro-wizardry, &
a wonderful electro-pop affirmation, where Moroder
meets Morricone, from the son of a Wizzard, Jake Bullit!
Lyrics: Broadway
(The
wavering you feel when attracted and disgusted
by the same thing; an invitation to Rico, from "Starship
Troopers", to rescue us from this hellish state)
Master Rica
The nicest one should be the one to stay
I could have called you mama
I could have called you obeses land
But I can't say
Chaos does a loop
And Private Rico
Will save us all some day
I could have called you mama
I could have called you the promised land
But I can't say
Oh chaos reigns for us today
I feel I'm losing you
A saint is over you
The chaos reigns and does a loop
