Parisian Night

I always associate this Jazz Waltz/Organ sound with Paris..
----------------------------------------------------------------
From the plane
The city train
Returns the trav'lers to the town of lights;
Set to re-live a honeymoon
In the PARISIAN NIGHT.

Exit train at
Montparnasse and at once
The mem'ries come alive again;
All the sights of Paris nights
And walks by the river Seine.

Stroll the gardens, Sainte-Chapelle,
Saint Germain to Montmarte; 
Once this city launched our love when 
Paris was thrilling our young hearts. 

  Champs Elysee to Notre Dame
Stopping by the Louvre; 
Climb by train to Sacre Couer and
Gaze at this marvelous city. 

Grab me, darling
And kiss me here;  
To come to Paris was completely right;
The past's awaken'd and our love's alive;
On this PARISIAN NIGHT.

Good Afternoon,

love a good jazz Waltz - and this is a good one! And I agree with your association. I lived in Europe almost 12 years and got to Paris 3 or 4 times - this sound was common in the jazz clubs at that time - a few years back. You captured the sound perfectly. Nice!

Hello, Tom

Very sophisticated jazz Waltz!
Excellent melody and chord progression as usual.
I have had a great passion for French Chansons once.
WhenI listened to this song, I remembered songs by Boris Vian, Mouloudji, Léo Ferré and etc.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.

What a lovely little song! grin That European feel really does come across, without the help of the lyrics! I think that's pretty great.

Superb!

We love the organ and the vocal. Sounds like a tight little club band in a small European venue.
Post Hot Club but early.

Very nice!

Nice waltz, I enjoyed it.

The vocal seemed a bit hot, and touch distorted in a couple places.

Turns out I've been pronouncing Louvre the 'merican way, so you made me learn something new, darn it! wink
