Amelia & Les Anges

Guestpost! Martijn of Thinksmall-blog on Amelia and the angels:

In real life, Amelia Fletcher is a 40-year old mother of two, who works at some high position in the British government. But this is not real life, this is Pop Life, where Amelia will always be the blondhaired girl from Oxford that started Talulah Gosh twenty years ago. Even though Talulah Gosh went on to become Heavenly,
Marine Research and, currently, Tender Trap, Amelia's twee voice, sweet lyrics and shy appearance have always stayed the same. And so has her semi-legendary status among generations of pop kids. Nous Ne Sommes Pas Des Anges is, to my best of knowledge, the only song she ever sung in French (Tender Trap has a song that is half-Spanish though). It is from Heavenly's last album Operation Heavenly which appeared not long after the suicide of their drummer, and Amelia's younger brother, Matthew. It is originally written by Mr. Gainsbourg and
performed by Mme Gall, but of course you knew that already. If not, here's the original version too.
