Dutch national weather service warned for heavy storms in the coming night, up to windforce 10. Summer's definitely over now, time to (finally) reminisce. Thanks to Alexandre, here's two melancholic, hello-darkness-my-old-friend-kind of songs, both live recordings. First up is a duet between Arthur H(igelin) and Pauline Croze (she's pictured), taken from a Les Inrocks-compilation. The contrast between Pauline's shaky, husky voice and Arthur's worn out rasp works great, and ofcourse brings back Gainsbourgian memories - with a songtitle like Sous le Soleil de Miami and all.
Speak of the devil: the talented Jeanne Cherhal recently did a nice live-rendition of Sous le Soleil Exactement for French Radio.
Does anybody now if Dusty Springfield's Summer is Over was ever recorded in French?
Arthur H & Pauline Croze - Sous le Soleil de Miami
Jeanne Cherhal - Sous le Soleil Exactement
I love hearing several versions of the same song, especially when it is a tune I really enjoy.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThanks so much for this.
Surely Serge Gainsbourg would have loved to write songs for the lovely Pauline and Jeanne!!!
