Rog, this is really enjoyable to me for a bunch of different reasons. As already stated, the groove is really captivating

I like the implementation of horns without making it sound like most other songs that use horns

The mixed language adds some curiosity points and interesting rhyming opportunities

I also really like your voice.. it is very stylized and cool sounding


I liked the brief drum intro

Your guitar motif was also very cool

More importantly all of the elements really work well together... they're all doing the right different things at the same time wink



Hi Pat. I always look forward to your comments - lots of insight and depth.

You're exactly right about the "ne...pas". The "ne" is generally only dropped in certain speech, not when writing. It's sort of a matter of emphasis, like the difference between "do not" and "don't"
Not that my French is too good at the best of times! It was a challenge to get the rhyming scheme working.

Many thanks for the listen and taking the time to comment.
