Her songs are crazy but that's why I love them! Claire Dizerti lives in another world and she shares it with us in her songs. This is a very special style!

The lyrics of songs of Claire Diterzi are often on the theme of love.

Le tableau de chasse

Danse avec moi Poupée de crinoline Deviens ma proie Libertine Vierge aux abois Va et viens Défais-moi donc ce lit à baldaquin Qu´en deux temps trois mouvements L´on badine Sonnez l´hallali Sonnez ma mise à mort Sonnez l´hallali Sonnez ma mort Sous mes verrous Tu perdras ta vertu Précieux atout Ridicule

Sous mes yeux verts de galant Délace-moi ce balconnet de soie Que l´on morde enfin Ton fruit défendu Sonnez l´hallali Sonnez ma mise à mort {x3:} Sonnez l´hallali Sonnez ma mort Danse avec moi (Passacaille ou gavotte et rigodon) La mazurka (Gigue ou chaconne ou menuet) Dans mon théâtre (Au parfum de sang, coureur de cotillons) De lèvres ce soir (Je serai ton nouveau trophée)

The clip of the song is very strange. The chorus girls are on the wall, their head severed as stuffed animals. Claire moves in the tableau like a robot. I haven't understood the end of the song when the apple is eaten. Why are there girls dancing behind the door?

When we watch the lyrics we can see the theme of love: "dans mon théatre, au parfum de sang, coureur de cotillons, de lèvre ce soir je serais ton nouveau trophée". May be this is a man who is running after many women! So strange in a song!

Claire Diterzi says that the song is a noble art and a personal research. From Punk squats to theaters, she has always followed her own path with audacity and exigency. She refuses to do business as all modern singers that we listen on the radio.

Claire diterzi : "Nous avons les oreilles conditionnées, et c'est un problème. Les FM, la télé, la Star Académie ont fait des ravages : on crée une vedette de toutes pièces, et une fois que le public se sent familier avec elle, on se demande ce qu'elle va chanter ! C'est la surenchère de la facilité, de la vulgarité et du mercantilisme. Trop souvent, on admet que la chanson puisse être une expression un peu « con-con », aseptisée, juste sympathique. Le public se rassure en allant écouter ce qu'il a déjà entendu à la radio ou vu à la télé... Je refuse ce système. Je ne sais pas si la chanson est un art, mais je la pratique comme tel. L'art doit susciter une émotion, bousculer, forcer le regard à changer, et non pas brosser les gens dans le sens du poil. Au fond, mon insuccès me protège peut-être : il m'aide à ne pas devenir trop arrogante. Ni feignante."
