I had a giveaway-copy of the Berry album, and Bill from Maryland won with this guestpost on Vanessa Paradis:
My favorite French record is Le tourbillon de la vie. Although performed wonderfully by Jeanne Moreau in 'Jules et Jim', I never tire of listening to Vanessa Paradis' version. She sings with such emotion and I especially love the simple yet poignant piano accompaniment. What a wonderful song: the stuff great novels are made up - young love for an exotic girl; the lament for lost love and the joy of finding each other again and again. I may be a sentimental old fool, but who can not have a tear in the eye imagining an old couple walking off into the sunset hand in hand at the end. 'Tous les deux enlacés, tous les deux enlacés' Life is indeed a whirlwind.
See Vanessa and Jeanne perform the song HERE
