orsque l'on
voit cet alignement impressionnant de chansons ayant un lien plus ou moins direct
avec les véhicules automobiles en général et les voitures
en particulier, on est en droit de se demander quel type de traumatisme a bien
pu endurer le chanteur / compositeur / parolier. Ici, c'est surtout le parolier
qui nous intéresse. Et dans une moindre mesure le concepteur des clips,
quelques fois.
Thom : I've been in two accidents myself. One was serious, and I could have died. I was really young, and I had just got a car and spun it off the road, and was very near to being hit by two other cars coming the other way. I missed them by inches. Then you have that thing where you walk away from the car and you just ask yourself, 'Well, why am I lucky? Why am I allowed to walk away from this?' when you constantly hear of friends who die in car accidents for no reason. It fucks with my head completely. The day we have to stop getting in cars will be a very good day.
