Christian,
nice one! Not often I hear French Bossa. Very good arrangement and vocals by Patrick. Production is also top tier. Bossa is one of my favorite genres, I enjoyed it.
Thank you for sharing!
Misha.
Nice work on this Chris! I enjoyed the overall progression of the piece. Very fitting vocals too. Thanks for sharing!
I love hearing French songs here on the showcase. Thanks for taking the time to share this one with us.
Chris,
Patrick has the right voice for the arrangement and melody.
Lovely work by both of you.
Languid melodies over spirited rhythms.
Any chance of a translation?
I suppose all music in French reminds me of "foreign movie nights" when NetFlix delivered DVD's. Good times, and a beautiful piece. Enjoyed the laid-back delivery of the melody and lyric over that spare and upbeat band. Very late-night-in-the-city feeling for me.
Nicely done - love the bossa groove, and thought your vocal performance was top notch. Easy to sway to, and really laid back in it's delivery. The mix job is really tight too - sounds concise and professional.
Thanks so much for sharing
Thank you all,
Here's an approximate tranlation :
You dream of someone other than me
When I see you there,
hoping you'll turn around,
I would not like
let your memory fade from me.
I have to accept it,
my arms are too small for you.
Even if my heart has place,
you dream of someone other than me.
I stayed a long time
like a poor silly fool
waiting
always so vainly.
So here I am trapped
bewitched by a moment.
Charmed by your spells,
I have always been willing.
Very nice...
Patrick did a great job on those laid back vocals.
Thanks Jim,
Patrick isn't Joao Gilberto but I think he has a great voice to sing Bossa nova. Christian
Hey Chris and Patrick,
a very nice Bossa, well arranged and well-sung. Enjoyed the listen.
Cheers,
Stefan
Thanks Stefan,
I enjoy a lot the indefinable charm of Bossa-nova. Christian
Excellent Bossa...
The vocal and your tracks have the feel of a good band that has worked together for a while.
Very nice!

Thanks Janice and Bud,
With Patrick, we haven't worked together for a while but we like the same musical universe. Christian
I could listen to a whole album of this music. Very nice!
A lovely piece - beautifully arranged and an evocative vocal.
Well done by all.
Peter
Thanks TuneMonger and Peter,
I think it's the beginning of a long collaboration with Patrick.

Cool read - the translation works for me.
