"Éducation sentimentale" (M. Le Forestier) - perf. by Sibylle&Friends

L'amour est mort (MB Ployé / MB Ployé)
Arrangement : Olivier Mugot

L'amour Est Mort

Dear Death,
It was such a surprise to see you. As I prepared tea and biscuits, I realized I was unprepared to serve them. I ask you to forgive this heart on a sleeve. It cries not for you, but for the passing of my faithful dog, Nana. Please help yourself to as much tea as you like since I know you'll be unable to visit again for quite some time.

Sincerely,
Lisa
P.S. Enclosed is a copy of Emily Post's Apocalyptic Guide to Etiquette, a parting gift. I also sent one to Rick Grimes, but haven't heard whether he has received it or not.

I started singing this song while walking and taking photos of trees. Had to hurry home to write it! All music is made with GarageBand presets and lots of reverb to get a nostalgic feel. (Fuzzy vocals give me this vibe)
 Hope you like this!

Haunted Wood by Lisa West

In the wood where we'd play
Holding hands, climbing over branches
Fallen trees, leaves and weeds
We'd stop to catch a glimpse of the sky
Oh, the looks on our faces
Must have kept the dead and dying limbs from falling
How I loved you and now the haunted wood is calling
The spirits of the taken
I walk these lonely paths we made long ago
I have mourned your passing, but how was I to know
You'd be here
In our haunted wood where flowers must find their own place
'Neath the twisted, tangled feelings
My heart races
I can only see your form hidden in between spaces
Where the vines have grown over your grave
Let me run with you
Shadows on the faces of clover leaves
Gentle breezes rushing through the matted briars
And we will never grow old
Shadows never grow old

All music and lyrics by Lisa West


Haunted Wood

Chanson Des Vieux Amants is composed by the Belgian singer and composer Jacques Brel. Here it is performed by Birgitte Lyregaard and Peter Tinning in a very intimate version

Chanson Des Vieux Amants

by Benjamin Biolay and Keren Ann

vocals - Irina and KidOfEarth - @kidofearth
instrumental - http://www.version-karaoke.fr/

When Raph invited me to collaborate on Jardin d'Hiver, I was very enthusiastic. The song is magnificent and offered a chance to pay tribute to Henri Salvador and express love to Stacey Kent. Hope you like our interpretation.

English translation

I would like green sun
Lace and teapots
Seaside photos
In my winter garden

I would like light
As in New England
I want to change the atmosphere
In my winter garden

My flower dress in the November rain
Your hands running.. I cannot wait for you any longer
The years go by, how far it is from the tender age
No one can hear us

I would like Fred Astaire
To see a Latécoère
I would always like you
In my winter garden

I want to have lunch on the floor
Like along the clear gulfs
Kiss you with your eyes open
In my winter garden

My flower dress in the November rain
Your hands running.. I cannot wait for you any longer
The years go by, how far it is from the tender age
No one can hear us..

"Saturne" by G.Brassens (S.Kult & F.Hiemenz)

All wild and off the rails vocals by: Lisa West/Faerytale Music

I was driving and suddenly began singing, 'Head Like A Hole'. Why? No idea. I couldn't even remember all of the lyrics, just the chorus. I was also listening to, 'Adagio For Strings' a lot, too in other than 440 frequency to see if I'd feel different. I did. That's another story.
Though I'm a little sad the fantastic synth intro is missing, I'm pleased with my overall attempt at this mashup. I hope you think it's fun, too!
The next time someone tells you that money talks, ask yourself if you've ever heard it. I almost did once. Then I remembered how creepy graven images can look, especially when you're not looking at them!

personal note: That was the very first and very last time I played mandolin and I had only two weeks to learn the part. That was a lot of fun and a lot of blood at my fingers ;)
I restored this recording from an old and bad copy of the original studio tape. That was fun too :)
