Cool Colorado

La Femme's 'Cool Colorado' is a lyrical journey that captures the essence of escapism and the search for tranquility. The song opens with the protagonist arriving in Colorado, seeking solace and a break from the stress of everyday life. The lyrics, 'je viens m'asseoir sur tes bancs et respirer le vent ici,' evoke a sense of peace and calm, as the protagonist finds comfort in the serene environment. The mention of angels caressing and smoking without stress further emphasizes the laid-back atmosphere of Colorado, reminiscent of a simpler, more carefree time.

The song continues to paint a vivid picture of the protagonist's experience in Colorado, with references to cowboy music on the radio and the sweet scent of corn paper cigarettes. The lyrics, 'Sweet Georgia Brown dans les cheveux,' add a nostalgic touch, evoking images of classic Americana. The protagonist's journey from the North to the West, and their stay in Denver City, highlight the sense of adventure and exploration. The repetitive 'pa, pa, papapa' chorus adds a whimsical, almost dreamlike quality to the song, reinforcing the theme of escapism.

As the song progresses, the protagonist's journey continues towards Los Angeles, described as 'la Cité des Anges.' The lyrics, 'Là où la vie est so cool with cool, Cool people in a cool, cool world,' capture the laid-back, carefree vibe of the city. The song concludes with an invitation to 'chill out' and enjoy the moment, encapsulating the essence of the protagonist's journey. 'Cool Colorado' is a celebration of freedom, adventure, and the pursuit of peace, set against the backdrop of the American West.
