Beautiful and cool sounding song, Chris. I don't speak French either, but understand the exercise. Here's an old quote by Paul Simon on how he writes songs...

"Once I pick a key and start to play, I sing and words that come into my head without trying to make any sense out of them. I tend to sing easy words with a concentration on "oos" and "ah" sounds, which are musically pleasing to me. I also like words beginning with "g's" and "l's" and words that have "t's" and "k's" in them. Sometimes during this stream of consciousness singing, a phrase will develop that has a naturalness and a meaning, in which case I keep it and start to build a song around it..."

Read that for the first time over 50 years ago, and sometimes still go back to the sound-based "Paul Simon method". I mean, it worked for him, right?
