Hi all,
Here's a french minor blues.
Nicolas Renaud has written the lyrics.
Philippe Janin is the singer.

Here's an approximate translation :

She put her wings
In a neighborhood bar
The night is beautiful
Her voice is bloody
She came to sing
Jazz and gospel
And we listen to her
And we travel with her

She reached out her hands
Touched our faces
Shown in the distance
Other wilderness
Her message is velvet
Her words are worthless
Without music and without rage
Without music and without rage

Chorus :
When Debbie sings
Her voice during the day
Challenges love
When Debbie sings
Her voice at night
Challenges life
Debbie

She plays with hell
Blues is her story
Nothing else to do
She plunges us into the dark
Love is somewhere
In the shadow or the light
Stashed in her gaze
Love is somewhere

Chorus (Instrumental)

She put her wings
In a neighborhood bar
The night is beautiful
Her voice is bloody
She came to sing
Jazz and gospel
And we listen to her
And we travel with her

Very cool vocal Christian. Lovely supporting backtrack. Well done

The bass at about 18 seconds is very indistinct..I can't tell if there's actually a note in that spot or a rest..it "feels" like there's a note but it's not a great choice by BIAB against the chord and voice.

Lovely song, terrific vocal.

Thank you, Scott and Ray, for your comments. Christian

Nice feel to this, and I enjoyed your choice of RT's. Really liked the vocals that you mixed into the background. And the little bits that you used at the end -- the mandolin and the piano notes -- a nice way to finish it. Again, enjoyed my listen.

A wonderfully lilting song, and a superb vocal, Christian. The lyrics are so compelling. I especially like the CHORUS.

I'm liking this!

Christian,

Nice Chanson!
Philippe's vocal is very comfortable.
I feel Pierre Barouh a little.
And I feel Francis Lai in some way in the melody.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.

Very well done with the write, vocal and production.

You always have an interesting selection of RT's and this is no exception.

The arrangement is excellent and the piano and mandolin were great additions.

Enjoyed it!
