Uh, I don't want to read too much into her work, suffice to say I told friends the minute I heard her other LP had come out. WOW! Gainsbourg, like her dad, is 'defining' a new age, one that will be far less dominated by a so-called 'comfortable middle-class.'
(Lyrics) You could have it all You could pawn it off You could learn to crawl Where you used to walk And I Im only burning vanities You could tell a tale You could sell it off You could find a grail Made of cinder block And I Im only burning vanities
SHINYamAHA21, This lullaby sleepily points towards a return to simplicity, the alternative to an excessive lifestyle ("You could have it all").....as though she has experienced it. Beck's orchestration describes a dark panoramic space containing fragility (wounded electronic notes and shivering violins) like a sudden change of emotional state.
"The Bonfire of the Vanities" was about discarding certain objects which could lead people into sinful temptation ..... preached by a15th century Florentine priest Girolamo Savonarola. He ordered burnings of such objects.....rose to power.....fell .....and was burned himself in a spectacular way!
(Google >"ITAL 233, ARHA 226, HIST 212" ) Go to "Gallery" at the top of the page and there is an interesting engraving illustrating the event halfway down.)
Now I gotta understand this song is sorta lullaby..?..I guess. it's is hypnotic...Damian Rice's is a lullaby for me...I thought it's sarcasm in the song. Gainsbourg daughter has grown beautifully. salute
Thank you!!

Poetic song.
Fleeting and vain.
Dreamy and yearning voice of Charlotte.

You could have it all
You could pawn it off
You could learn to crawl
Where you used to walk
And I... I'm only burning vanities
You could tell a tale
You could sell it off
You could find a grail
Made of cinder block
And I... I'm only burning vanities
