Til then, I'll post an "old" favourite of mine: 'Message personnel' by Françoise Hardy.
Around this time last year, I started listening to Françoise Hardy and other such artists. It's very strange to think that last year I had not heard about most of the artists I have posted about on this blog... This has certainly been a year of "musical enlightenment". ;)
Anyhow, 'Message personnel' is my favourite Françoise Hardy song! The interesting thing about it is that the first minute and a half is a monologue that leads up to the song. I really love the lyrics! {If you wish to know the basic concept of what she's saying there is a version of her singing it in English here. It's not the same thing as an exact translation, but almost!}
Listen:
{Be forewarned, the sound starts out really quiet and then gets louder as the song progresses.}
The melody's great, too. :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat is it about French music; it always sounds so thickly scented with romance and cobblestones and wafting cigarettes. She is a darling. :)
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm so sorry for my absence of comments, dear; I've been reading your blog all this time, I truly have. :)
Take care, Melee!

Indeed! You put it so eloquently, my dear. :)
ReplyDeleteOh, really, that's alright! Please don't feel like you have to comment. :) *hugs*
Hey Melee, sorry I haven't commented you back, I've been procrastinating and not posting in any of my blogs which is quite silly of me. Did you end up making that new blog you mentioned?
