Hi all !
Here's a french song inspired by Georges Brassens.
The lyrics tell the story of a man who has just died. He is waiting an angel or a devil to take away his soul......

https://soundcloud.com/christian-devienne/lame-du-vilain

Au petit matin, l'âme pure d'un vilain déserta son corps.
Pourtant ce jour-là, les anges, les démons ignorèrent son sort.
L'âme attendait qu'on vienne la chercher.
Après ce trépas, rien de l'Au-delà ne vint l'emporter.
L'homme étant peureux, il fut bien heureux qu'on l'eut oublié.
L'âme du vilain ne vaudrait-elle rien ?

Mais quand vint le soir, l'homme put enfin voir une forme angélique
emportant une âme, celle d'un quidam, un défunt classique.
Il les suivit en catimini.
Conscient qu'il n'était pas vraiment convié, il eut du dépit.
Arrivé aux cieux, le maître des lieux le vit et lui dit :
" Que fais-tu ici au seuil du Paradis ? "

" Quand j'étais vivant, j'ai nourri plus d'un pauvre miséreux.
J'ai donné des soins à ceux mal en point et vêtu des gueux
qui se sont chauffés à ma cheminée. "
Les mots du vilain leur but ont atteint, ils émurent le Dieu
qui lui accorda de séjourner là dans ce si doux lieu.
L'âme du vilain a trouvé son écrin.

I didn't understand a word but the beautiful thing about music is that you don't have too! This is very good song that was sung well and mixed perfectly.

Good job on this.


Me, it's not about how many times you fail, it's about how many times you get back up.
Cop, that's not how field sobriety tests work.

Hello, Chris

Yes, this is exactly Georges Brassens.
Excellent French Chanson.
I have had a great passion for French Chansons once.
I used to listen to Charles Aznavour, Jacques Brel, Boris Vian, Mouloudji, Léo Ferré, Serge Gainsboug and of course Georges Brasses, too.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!

If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."

"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."

"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
