Hi all,
Here's a french minor blues about resilience. Pasts things belong to past and must not prevent to enjoy the present.
Thierry Gauzy has written the lyrics and Marie Pavanello is singing.

Hi Christian,

You demonstrate beautifully that the Blues is still the Blues in any language.

Nice choice of RTs which are all working well together. I particularly liked
the way the lead guitar meandered around behind Marie's splendid vocal.

Loved the whole thing.

Amicalement,
ROG.

Blues are a huge part of our musical world and we very much enjoyed this.

The vocal, melody and use of RT's are all outstanding!

Excellent.

Really liked this. As said by others, the mix is great, selection of RT's perfect, the vocal is outstanding. There is a spot about 3 minutes in where the acoustic guitar does some little strumming figures that I thought was really cool. And then that little sax statement at the end--all the way through very nice! Thanks, Christian!

I am a big blues fan and you all did it justice with this song. As previously mentioned the mix is spot on and Marie's vocal is excellent.

This is an excellent song.


OK, a random thought;
Why does toilet paper need a commercial? Who's not buying it?

Hi Chris,

I LOVE blues and you and your friends did well with this song. Absolutely enjoyed it (also because I like the French language a lot... it has a natural musical way of sounding).

Thanks a lot for sharing!
Will
