Extrait de l'article :

Pouvez-vous nous donner un exemple de livre ou de lieu qui vous a inspiré ?
Oui, il y a une chanson sur mon nouvel album Flags qui s’appelle « Jack Kerouac ». Elle représente un moment ou je conduisais a travers une partie désolée de la Californie, dans un endroit que Jack Kerouac décrit dans son livre « On the road » que je venais juste de lire. C’est une chanson qui parle de voyage et du sentiment d’être un étranger sur une route, ce que j’étais a ce moment, constamment sur la route a traverser des petites villes des Etats-Unis. Les gens me regardaient bizarrement à cause de mon accent, ils étaient d’abord un peu suspicieux. C’est ce qui m’a inspirée pour écrire cette chanson.

Translation :

Can you give us an example of a book or place which has inspired you ? 
Yes, there is a song on my new album Album Flags which is called ''Jack Kerouac''. It represents a moment when I was driving across a desolate part of California, in a place that Jack Kerouac describes in his book ''On The Road'' that I had just read. It's a song which speaks about travel and the feeling of being a stranger on a road, what I was at that time. I was constantly on the road going across small towns of the USA. People were looking at me strangely because of my accent. They were at first a little bit suspicious. That's what inspired me to write this song.

Paroles de la chanson ''Jack Kerouac" :

He got the droop of a fatherless child
Almost imperceptible
One can't see it with the naked eye
Oh, but I can

That cardboard lady in the corner store
Her sparkle is all painted on
Six no good men took all her shine and more
Left her youth near Sausalito

Oh, it's humorless and comical at once
Always being a stranger wearing the last town's dust
Oh, it's humorless


They look me over, one up and one down
I can tell they're wondering who my people are
I say I'm new in town
I know it's gonna take a while

Oh, it's humorless and comical at once
Always being a stranger wearing the last town's dust
Oh it's humorless, oh it's humorless

I speculate and browse the Duraflame
Winter in the west coast cool
Out by the sea where no one knows my name

I'm on the road like Jack, Jack Kerouac
Like Jack, Jack Kerouac
Like Jack, Jack Kerouac
Like Jack, Jack Kerouac

Jack, Jack Kerouac
Jack, Jack Kerouac
Jack, Jack Kerouac
Jack, Jack Kerouac
