For those not in the US "I95" is an Interstate hiway that goes along the length of the East Coast from Maine to Florida. Interstate hiways are major ways those in the US get to and from work and to their vacation spots when they drive.

too frenchy? the

too frenchy? the lyrics...

Zaz - "Pourquoi tu joues faux"

Pourquoi tu joues faux
Pourquoi tu joues fort
Pourquoi c'est pas beau
C'que tu m'joues encore
[...]

Encore le même, encore le même son
Le même thème, la même chanson
A quoi elle rime ta mélodie
C'que tu m'exprimes, ce qu'tu m'cris
[...]

Complete lyrics (fr/en): here

___

Why do you play out of tune
Why do you play loudly
Why isn't it pretty
What you play for me again
[...]

Again the same, again the same sound
The same theme, the same song
What's the sense of your melody
What you're expressing to me, what you're shouting at me

Why do you play [...]
 
And the same A and the same E
Same tralala, same tonality
The same voice in the same microphone
Same noise in the echo chamber
 
Beautiful lyrics, beautiful effect
But too many B flat minors, too many pauses
Beautiful words, beautiful partition
But too many flutes, too much violin
Lower the sound, lower the tone, lower the voice, the saturation
 
Why do you play [...]
 
It's out of tune your note, it's out of tune your trumpet
The more you recite, the more you repeat
It's out of tune, your flute, your nonsense
Chhh. Stop.

Françoise Hardy - Tous les

Françoise Hardy - Tous les garçons et les filles (1962)

Tous les garçons et les filles de mon âge
Se promènent dans la rue deux par deux
Tous les garçons et les filles de mon âge
Savent bien ce que c'est qu'être heureux
Et les yeux dans les yeux, et la main dans la main
 
Ils s'en vont amoureux sans peur du lendemain
Oui mais moi, je vais seule par les rues, l'âme en peine
Oui mais moi, je vais seule, car personne ne m'aime

Mes jours comme mes nuits
Sont en tous points pareils
Sans joies et plein d'ennuis
Personne ne murmure je t'aime à mon oreille

[...]

complete lyrics (fr/en)

All the boys and girls my age
Walk down the street two by two
All the boys and girls my age
Know well what it means to be happy
Their eyes meet, they’re hand in hand

They go in love without fear of tomorrow
But I, I go alone down the streets, a soul in pain
Yes I, I go alone, because no one loves me
 
My days, like my nights
Are the same in every way
Without joy and full of troubles
No one whispers “I love you” in my ear

A classic movie for sure. I

A classic movie for sure. I always wondered how they did the WA-WA .... so now I know. That soprano on the balcony has quite a voice. :-)

Cheers, Mike.

( edit ) I'll add in another classic : House Of The Rising Sun

I have made this letter longer than usual because I lack the time to make it shorter ...

Great classics! That rendition by the Danish National Symphony Orchestra is really good! I have been going a bit further back and have been listening to Vivaldi's winter.
