You know, a feminist, committed, talented and above all free. She proves it once more in a new album successful where the artist quips kindly to the passage of the catholic religion, in the evocative title, Worthy, crazy, so... As for ringing the bells of a Church that it deems too backward-looking or self-righteous. “Do not do this, do not do it/The hell you eat/not Say, not say it/Swatter on the fingers “, chante Véronique Sanson with delight.
In an interview with RTL, the artist has explained the genesis of this stroke of the knife. “It came to me seeing the Easter mass on tv. And I saw all the people dressed the same. One has the impression that it is fake, they need to dress up to be respected, so that they do not need ! “The parade of prelates in St. Peter’s square was immediately inspired. “I walked around the city/I’ve seen tightrope walkers so be it/With a funny style/hats well bad/All dressed in red/To forget the sordid/false hopes… “, says Véronique Sanson in his album.
” No showing off, no church “
” I don’t like that it tells us salads and we are threat of punishment, hell, she continued on the antenna of RTL. And I find that for 2,000 years, the Church has done a lot of stuff not terrible. “In The new yorker, she has made it clear that she had composed this song before the attacks that hit France, while underlining the character of a sectarian, in its view, these ceremonies are very pompous. “No showing off, no churches/I will not want these tutus-there/Outfits of the misconceptions/Up in the hereafter “, she sings in her title controversy.
there is one that still finds favour in his eyes : pope Francis, the bearer under it of a lot of hope. “I think it is a great guy who does enshrines not all, who puts things in their places, where they should be, that is to say, simple. “
Threatened with death in 1989
This is not the first time that Véronique Sanson scratches a religion that it considers repressive. In 1988, it came ” Allah “, a song that denounced the intolerance and religious fanaticism, without for as much to criticize islam. She took it to the men, who turned away from god to sow violence. “Why the fire, the thunder ?/But it is you that is being used/It is in your name as we fight/Allah. “The title earned him serious problems, including death threats during his visit to Olympia in 1989. “I missed the storm, and I rechanté full-time “, told it last year in The new yorker. While acknowledging that it does the improvement would be more today, to avoid falling into the ” provocation “.
This new album, the fifteenth of his long career, is not centered on religion, far from it, even if the hit song, ” Worthy, crazy, so… “, gave its title to the album. There are also other nuggets well singing about love, the scum of life, a samba-based, jazz unlikely on the chickens in his garden, a duet with Zaz, she adores, and a tribute sober and poignant to his deceased mother in ” And I still call “. The great Sanson, to be on stage in a year, for a new tour.
