Hi all,
Patrick Fournerat has written the french lyrics and he sings.
Some people decide to give it all up and go to live another life somewhere else, but it's not so easy and it doesn't work every time...

Hi Chris,

The funky music is well played and nice, but a bit subordinate to the vocals.
You can hear it very well when the solo comes in.
I think the instrument need their own accents, to support the singing.
Otherwise it's more a song where the story is the main event.
But if so, why choose for funk then?

Having said that, I still think it's a very nice song with nice, clever lyrics (as far as my French goes...)
I think that's what your stongest thing: making songs where you can listen to a good, clever story.

Have a nice day,
Hans

Bass and drums plus six guitars? I thought I was going to be bored out of my brain but I was pleasantly surprised to find it all fitted together rather well. smile
