Chris and Christian, great song.
"I'm a songwriter
Just a little notes picker" and
"My guitar and I
Need no wheels cos we can fly"
are great lines.
Super vocal and mix.
My goal this weekend is to move just enough each day so that no one pokes me to see if I'm dead or not.

I like the in-your-face vocals with the slight French accent.
Beautiful song.

Chris,
I really like this old type of chanson.
When I was young, I used to listen to Mouloudji, Boris Vian and etc. a lot.
I'm really happy that you make songs like this type.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.

Wow, touching song both lyrically and musically. Good question and good answer. Beautiful traditional French melody and chording. The vocalist is great, I really enjoyed those low notes and the emotion he delivers. The simple arrangement develops beautifully and supports the mood perfectly.

Beautiful song. Instruments and vocals sound really nice together and I like your French accent. In my opinion, they make the vocals more unique in a good way.

Hi Chris and singer Christian,
I can only agree with all the others here. A typical French style, a beautiful song, impressing vocals (his way of singing reminds me of Misha, Rustyspoon) and good choice of instruments. When listening to it, you see a picture of yourself sitting near a fireplace, a glass of wine in your hand, a dog lying close to your feet, a cat on your chair and your partner handing you some French cheese...
Or with other words, a lovely song!
Hans

I like it. The understated performance enhances (rather than detracts from) a deceptively powerful lyric. I'm sure it would sound even better en Français.
My music may not set the world on fire but if it causes a glow in just one person's heart, it has all been worthwhile

A song in the tradition of good French chansons. Well done - I enjoyed it. The lyrics are also very meaningful, I find ... speaking as someone who's often been asked what one really does, when telling others one is a musician :-) Congratulations.
