Name: The Windmills of Your Mind by Swing Out Sister
Duration: 3 min 2 s
Description: Live performance on Radio Luxembourg, 1989

When I was in high school, late 90's, was the first time I heard about SOS. And from then on, they are part of my music library. Sadly, I lost my CD that had this song in it, and it had been difficult to re-acquire and it is not available in iTunes US. I'm glad it's here and I could simply just come back here whenever I want to listen to it. Thank you.

Love this. Catch the MTV. Drewery doing a Legrand is really superb!

Lounge way executed by the American group Pink Martini  on his first album, sympathique, in 1997, "Amado Mio" was created in 1946 for the movie Gilda. It is mimed by actress Rita Hayworth and sung by Anita Kert Elis. Aida KALY revels in this kitsch Latin theme wish she deals with strength and emotion. "Amado Mio" allows to locate immediately the particular universe of Pink Martini.

Track No.16 from Chris Botti's special release DVD live album called "Chris Botti in Boston" (was released 31.03.2009).

Chris Botti ft. Sting & Josh Groban - Shape of My Heart (live)

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
