I've got a confession to make: I once fell in love in the last century...
The last century was only yesterday and some voices still linger on. This one in particular has followed me from one millennium to another...
The title loosely translated means: "what is there left from our love?" (apologies to the French translators)
From RFI Musique:
Charles Trenet, the last of the legendary French chanson stars, recently celebrated an incredible sixty years in the music business - and he’s still going strong today ! Trenet will inevitably go down in music history as the man who wrote the unforgettable "La Mer". (Trenet claimed to have penned the song in just twenty minutes while in the middle of a train journey between Narbonne and Carcassonne !) "La Mer", which has been translated into dozens of different languages and rocketed to the top of charts all around the world, has undoubtedly become one of the most famous French songs of all time - while its author has become a veritable living legend !
What I enjoy also in Trenet's music is his blitheness and joie de vivre...
The title is pronounced "boom!"
After this post, people will think that I'm at least 64. If it's the case, will you still need me? Will you feed me?
Because it's still Sunday in the Frisco bay, there'll be a cover in the comments
(PS: I know a mate of mine who'll take the piss at me for this post. So be it!)
