Hi all,
Here's a french song sung by Christian Braut.

Here's an approximate translation :

Stored in a drawer,
memories come back.
I draw deep in my memory
what it tells me.
All is not rosy,
all is not black.
Morose moments,
joys and hopes ...
That's my story.

So, I feel nostalgic
or melancholic.
But it's my life and I assume it.
Time is consumed.

Stored in a drawer,
memories come back.
I draw deep in my memory
what it tells me.
But my story
is not finished.
Remain victories,
and defeats too.
Such is life !

Fantastic, a really great ballad, with feeling and expression.

The breaks slotted in really well.

Overall, a really great production.

Really well done! I agree with VideoTrack above me - the feeling in this one is fantastic. It flows smooth as butter, and your mixing job is top notch here.

Thanks for sharing

Nice work Christian. I like your vocals on this song and the chosen instruments work well with the vibe of the song too. Overall, a very good arrangement. Keep up the good work sir!

Nice ballad and a good arrangement/mix to support it.

Enjoyed it!

A very intimate sounding vocal.
I can picture him leaning on the mic stand as he does the intro.
This song comes complete with cigarette smoke, damp walls and Dubonnet on ice.

Christian,

Really well done. Nice tracks and a cool smokey vocal.

The mix is very intimate.

Nice.

Thank you all,
My friend's intimate voice is a signifiant part for the feeling coming from this song. Christian

Really enjoyed the use of RealTracks here! Thank you for sharing.

Christian,

Really well done—your usual excellent job on the music and mix. The vocal sits in the mix just perfectly and your singer really sells this one. Interesting and thoughtful lyrics as well. Good song and excellent collaboration. Well done!

My best to you,

Deej

Hi Christian,

This is excellent!

Everything about this sits incredibly comfortably together. Early on, the mandolin grabbed my attention and my imagination and set the tone for a very enjoyable musical journey.

Wonderful listening.

Good song...
With plenty of subdued feeling...
