Hi all,
Here's a song about people in the parisian Subway.
Philippe Janin is singing. We've both written the lyrics.

https://soundcloud.com/christian-devienne/les-ombres-du-metro-avec-philippe-janin/comment-828629887

Here's an approximate translation :

Do these shadows have a soul ?
Or are they only
abused by the wind
which has extinguished their flame ?
Among all the people
Under the freezing neon lights,
They wander mechanically
Until they find a train.

Chorus :
The shadows of subway
Have a heavy heart
They dream of real light,
Space and fresh air ...

And in this movement
Stretches like a shore
On decadent docks
The eternal arrival
Of poor people.
With this flow of characters
My film is falling in love
And this nest egg of pictures
which thus freezes time
makes me think of a cage.
From which hijacking
Are these people hostages ?

These morning ghosts,
Walking the corridors,
Have a sense of duty.
They take the path.
Their sky is concrete,
So they got used to it.
Even the fear of suffocation
Can no longer stop them.

Christian,
very modern feel in the rhythm but a lovely melody over the top.
Philippe's vocal has an odd reverb or room sound on it that doesn't match the one on the music - the solo makes this more apparent.
If they were both like Philippe's then it may give a subway sound but I suspect a subway would give a bigger sound and not as thin as his vocal sounds above such a well rounded arrangement.
I love the story, the melody, everything really - just not fussed on the reverb.


Cheers

Hi Cgris,

another very lovely and well-written tune. Love the horns arrangement. Phillippe is a really good singer. Enhoyed the listen.

Happy holidays and all the best for 2020.
