enfants

Après avoir été laissé en suspens quelques mois, AdNM inaugure une nouvelle maquette, une nouvelle formule, avec un nouveau collectif de rédacteurs.

En guise de transition et dans la perspective du séminaire « Jeu et réalité » du mardi 24 novembre 2009, la chanson de Cat Stevens, Where Do The Children Play ?, en concert en 1971.

Where Do The Children Play ?
de l’album de Cat Stevens,  Tea For The Tillerman
1970, Label A&M

Well I think it’s fine, building jumbo planes.
Or taking a ride on a cosmic train.
Switch on summer from a slot machine.
Get what you want to if you want, ’cause you can get
anything.

I know we’ve come a long way,
We’re changing day to day,
But tell me, where do the children play?

Well you roll on roads over fresh green grass.
For your lorry loads pumping petrol gas.
And you make them long, and you make them tough.
But they just go on and on, and it seems you can’t get off.

Oh, I know we’ve come a long way,
We’re changing day to day,
But tell me, where do the children play?

When you crack the sky, scrapers fill the air.
Will you keep on building higher
’til there’s no more room up there?
Will you make us laugh, will you make us cry?
Will you tell us when to live, will you tell us when to die?

I know we’ve come a long way,
We’re changing day to day,
But tell me, where do the children play?
