Stereophonics est un groupe de rock anglais formé en 1996. Avec un son classique et assez commercial, ils ont connu assez vite le succès. Une petite mention spéciale à la chanson "I stopped to fill my car up", issue de l'album "Performance and Cocktails", sorti en 1999. La voix du chanteur, rocailleuse et mélodieuse, se mélange à la musique, douce et calme, dans un cocktail magnifique. La chanson fait ressentir un certain nombre d'émotions qui me correspondent assez bien en ce moment...

|| I Stopped To Fill My Car Up ||

I stopped to fill my car up,
The car felt good that day,
I didn't know where I was going,
But it felt good for a change

A five and a pocket full of silver,
I paid the lady no change,
And then it started to piss down,
I started driving again,

And then I looked up,
And looked in the mirror behind me,
And then I looked up,
And looked in the mirror behind me

A man round forty in the backseat,
Must have stepped in when I was empty,
So why's he sat there just waiting?
Likely to smash my face in

He had a bag full of money,
He said just drive me away,
I didn't know where I was going,
But it felt good to be strange

And still I look up,
And look in the mirror behind me,
And still I look up,
And look in the mirror behind me,

Curiosity is over, I stepped down from the car,
He pulled a gun from his jacket,
Said I was going to die

It gives me so much satisfaction,
To watch you beg and cry,
Well I just made up this story,
To get your attention makes me smile

I never looked up,
or looked in the mirror behind me,
I never looked up,
or looked in the mirror behind me
