Hi all !
Here's a bluesy french song with surreal lyrics ! Christian

https://soundcloud.com/christian-devienne/objectif-oasis

RD BossaRockPerc^8
RT 572 Acoustic Bass
RT 2024 Piano
RT 2677 Acoustic Guitar
RT 2679 Electric Guitar
RT 577 Resonator Guitar
RT 578 Harmonica
RT 1876 Mandolin
RT 2687 Solo Electric Guitar
RT 2336 Viola

1) Cramponné sur mon dromadaire,
j'arpente les trottoirs de la ville.
Traverser le désert,
c'est jamais sans péril.
Objectif oasis !

2) Attiré par la belle chamelle
d'une princesse assise en terrasse,
mon dromadaire m'appelle,
m'invite à prendre place.
Objectif oasis !

3) Mon dromadaire se rince la dalle.
Alors, bien sûr, je l'accompagne.
La fille se fait la malle,
on commande du champagne.
Objectif oasis !

Here's a translation :

1) Riding on my dromedary
I go on the sidewalks of the town.
To cross the desert,
It's never without danger.
Oasis is our target !

2) Attracted by a nice she-camel
with a princess sitting outside a street café,
my dromedary calls me,
invites me to take a seat.
Oasis is our target !

3) My dromedary is drinking.
So, of course,I do the same.
The girl goes away,
We order champagne.
Oasis is our target !

Hi Chris37, Fantastic choice of instrumentation. The different elements really glue well together and a solid key signature choice too. Love the harmonica track in this too, adds a fun western feel to this. Great work!


Cheers,
Joe

The nice thing about music is that you do not have to understand a word of it to know a good song when you hear it. That is the case here for me. This is a great blues song. You should be very proud of this one.

I agree with Mario. Music the universal translator. Awesome tune. Loved the feel of the backtrack...

Nice work on this one! I love the instrumentation, and your voice compliments it perfectly. I really like the bluesy feel to it, and I find it remarkable that even though I can't understand what you're saying, you can still feel the music.

Thanks for sharing smile


Cheers,
Deryk

I've been waiting for someone to write a tribute song to a dromedary!! Please give us the back-story: what prompted these camel-thoughts?

As usual, your style/production, etc. is first-class, and your ideas always interesting to me. I'm very partial to the french touch in music, so this definitely pleases!

I found your choice of RT's to be totally 'transparent', meaning that the style and all the instrumental pieces totally supported your overall work without being distractive, and that is a sign of good judgement and smart arranging.

Thanks, Christian, and give your camel a hug from me!

Thanks Joe, Mario, Scott, Deryk and Tom !
The choice of the dromedary was quite obvious for me.
When you are alone, you feel like in a desert and that's a place where you can meet dromedaries. So, I've invented this travel companion. And in the desert, you need to drink ! So, it was necessary to find an oasis......Christian
