FAITS DIVERS : Streets Of Philadelphia/Rocky

NDLA
Les faits divers illustrent le concept suivant :
une chanson et une image s'associent pour s'éclairer, se compléter ou se contredire l'une l'autre.

I was bruised and battered and I couldn’t tell
What I felt
I was unrecognizable to myself
I saw my reflection in a window I didn’t know
My own face
Oh brother are you gonna leave me
Wastin´away
On the streets of philadelphia

I walked the avenue till my legs felt like stone
I heard the voices of friends vanished and gone
At night I could hear the blood in my veins
Black and whispering as the rain
On the streets of philadelphia

Aint no angel gonna greet me
Its just you and I my friend
My clothes dont fit me no more
I walked a thousand miles
Just to slip the skin

The night has fallen, I’m lyin’ awake
I can feel myself fading away
So receive me brother with your faithless kiss
Or will we leave each other alone like this
On the streets of philadelphia

Texte : Bruce Springsteen, Streets Of Philadelphia
Images : Sylvester Stallone, Rocky

Cette chanson mélancolique de Springsteen illustre parfaitement ce que je ressens du personnage de Rocky, un type simple, loyal et honnête qui cherche à réussir et se cogne contre la vie.
