Sophie Milman - "Ces Petits Riens"

Besame Mucho

Edward Aris - Noche De Reyes

Charles Aznavour - Two Guitars (1962)

Hi everyone! While I make some finishing touches on the next song, I have an old one from 20 years ago. It was one of the first compositions I made. I had no idea what I was doing (still have no idea) and so I just followed the feeling. I made it around August of 2004 and it was recorded using the mic from an old school logitech headset, so it was actually lofi. At the time I had just started medical school, and the summer before it was probably the best summer I've ever had. I made some new friends and we had a lot of fun. I was feeling a lot of hope, a little bit of love, and some homesickness after I went back to study. So that's what that's about. Thanks for listening!

Summer 2004 (instrumental)

This beautiful song which has been churning around in my head on and off for decades was composed by Philippe Sarde (with lyrics by Jean-Loup Dabadie) in 1970 along with the rest of his score for Claude Sautet's "Les choses de la vie". Romy Schneider and Michel Piccoli who starred in the film also lent their voices to this song, which I believe was the first and last time the former ever did so. Some might argue that it was a wise decision :-/  

I was delighted that Anne agreed to take on the role of Romy in order to sing on my instrumental cover of "La chanson d'Hélène" whilst I filled in for Michel :-) As luck would have it she shares a similar subtle German accent and airiness in the voice, but with the added bonus of being simply incapable of singing flat :-) I think she did a brilliant job ...

I've added a link to some footage of the original live recording for the nostalgic at heart (that's my middle name) :

Lyrics : 

Ce soir nous sommes septembre 
Et j'ai fermé ma chambre 
Le soleil n'y entrera plus 
Tu ne m'aimes plus 

Là-haut un oiseau passe
Comme une dédicace 
Dans le ciel 

Je t'aimais tant Hélène 
Il faut se quitter 
Les avions partiront sans nous 
Je ne sais plus t'aimer Hélène 

Avant dans la maison j'aimais quand nous vivions 
Comme dans un dessin d'enfant 
Tu ne m'aimes plus 

Je regarde le soir tomber dans les miroirs 
C'est ma vie 

C'est mieux ainsi Hélène 
C'était l'amour sans amitié
Il va falloir changer de mémoire 
Je ne t'écrirai plus Hélène
 
L'histoire n'est plus à suivre et j'ai fermé le livre 
Le soleil n'y entrera plus 
Tu ne m'aimes plus

Besame Mucho
