Hi all,
Here's a french song called " This is the dead end "
Philippe Janin has written the lyrics and he sings.

https://soundcloud.com/christian-devienne/cest-limpasse

Here's an approximate translation :

The last time we came
Walk the beautiful land
There were still some unknowns
And some mysteries
We crossed all the trails
Follow in the footsteps of our fathers
Marked on the ground our benchmarks
Until you no longer distrust it
It's a wasted future
That we left behind
We said: "Good for us"
Sure we didn’t see
That one day it would be too late
If everything breaks down

The last time we came
Walk the beautiful land
There were still some unknowns
And some mysteries
We crossed all the trails
Follow in the footsteps of our fathers
Marked on the ground our benchmarks
Until you no longer distrust it

The last time we came
Walk the beautiful land
We didn't really plan
Where would our misery come from
We hadn't learned anything from yesterday
Nothing that keeps us going
The past was the past
We were arrogant and proud
It's a degraded future
That we scratched on the walls
This is the dead end "Good for us"
Sure we hadn't seen
That one day we would be lost
If everything breaks down

Chris37,
I'll have to admit I didn't expect a French language song with banjo.
Pretty cool!

The spoons work really well with the slide - who'd have guessed.
Phillipe manages to avoid room sound in his recordings and that means he fits smoothly into the mix.
The SLUSH trombone sounds cool too.
A very nice musical melange that runs counter & cleverly to the despairing narrative.
Excellent.


Cheers

Hi Chris,

La chanson donne une sensation de gaieté en conduisant à travers le paysage (avec un verre de vin). Meaning: The song gives a feeling of cheerfulness while driving through the landscape (with a glass of wine). This is translated by Google, my French is more like 'papa fume une pipe' or 'quelle heure est il?'.
But with the first French words I want to tell you I liked the song because of the feeling it gives. And we drove a lot through France!
But to me you made it a country song, with the banjo and the pedal steel. That fits with my desciption above, but is also a bit unusual for a French song. That's very good.
I have one tiny remark: I would have liked a more distinctive chorus in the song. Something you can sing out loud, while driving and after that glass of wine ;-)

That was an enjoyable jaunt. Loved the expression in the vocals. smile

The trombone was especially neat, as was the slide guitar making comments in the background.

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Hi Chris,

You and Philippe have done a great job. I love the backing that you've created and Phillipe's singing is really comfortable to listen to.

All the best,
Noel

Ray said it well: "A very nice musical melange that runs counter & cleverly to the despairing narrative."

Great description of what we heard.

The vocal is very good as is the mix and the cool selection of tracks (love the trombone).

Enjoyed it!

Thanks Peter, Rob, David, Noel, Janice and Bud.
What is great with the realtracks is trying to mix different styles and sometimes, the result is surprising but interesting. Christian
