"John the Revelator" is a traditional gospel blues call and response song. Music critic Thomas Ward describes it as "one of the most powerful songs in all of pre-war acoustic music ... [which] has been hugely influential to blues performers". American gospel-blues musician Blind Willie Johnson recorded "John the Revelator" in 1930 and subsequently a variety of artists have recorded their renditions of the song, often with variations in the verses and music. The song's title refers to John of Patmos in his role as the author of the Book of Revelation. A portion of that book focuses on the opening of seven seals and the resulting apocalyptic events. In its various versions, the song quotes several passages from the Bible in the tradition of American spirituals. (en) John the Revelator est une chanson de gospel-blues traditionnelle, d'inspiration biblique, enregistrée pour la première fois par Blind Willie Johnson en 1930 à Atlanta en Géorgie. Le critique musical Thomas Ward la décrit comme « l'une des chansons les plus puissantes de toute la musique acoustique d'avant-guerre », qui « a énormément influencé les artistes de blues ». La chanson a été reprise un très grand nombre de fois, avec des variations dans les couplets et la musique, notamment par le groupe Depeche Mode (John the Revelator / Lilian, 2006), le guitariste Steve Vai (The Story of Light, 2012), Son House ou encore par Tom Waits. Le titre de la chanson fait référence à Jean de Patmos dans son rôle d'auteur du Livre de l'Apocalypse. Une partie de ce livre se concentre sur l'ouverture de sept sceaux et les événements apocalyptiques qui en résultent. Dans ses différentes versions, la chanson cite plusieurs passages de la Bible dans la tradition des spirituels américains. (fr) |
