Hi all,
Philippe Janin has written the lyrics of this "slavic blues" and he sings.
Lyrics are very hard to translate. Even for french people, it's not easy to understand all. Sentences are very poetic and metaphoric.
To summarize the text, it's about four russian teenagers who are bored. If they don't find anything to hang on to, they will have a bad ending !

Waouh Chris ! C'est fantastique! J'ai pris le français au lycée mais j'ai lamentablement échoué.

En tout cas, la chanson est magnifique. Le piano et les guitares sonnent parfaitement l'un pour l'autre.

J'aime aussi les petites pauses, comme à :58 secondes. Très efficace!

Pour moi, c'est vraiment amusant d'écouter une chanson sans connaître la langue. Je peux en fait entendre la musique avec une mélodie humaine qui ne détourne pas l'attention de la chanson du point de vue des paroles.

Bon travail! Continuez à en faire plus.



(Just wanted to pay a compliment to Chris and try out some translation.)

Hi, Christian.

This is really good. The arrangement is excellent, and the interplay between the vocals and the solo guitar is really effective.

Most importantly, it showcases the vocals, which are first-class.

I like this a lot!

Christian,

Another great composition . . . Phillippe slays on both the lyrics and the gravitating vocal. Really well done! Congrats to you both.

Cheers,

Deej

I really like it, I didn't even imagine it was RT. Well done !

Trois se taisent
L'autre n'a rien dit

Quelle belle trouvaille !

In any language this is a a wonderful song and very well sung. That cello really brings out the possibility of a sad ending. Really enjoyed, Chris & Phillippe.

Another terrific effort, you're on a serious roll!

Thank you all for your comments.
I particularly like this song because it proves that with a few instruments we can do great things thanks to PG Music Real Tracks.

Beautiful piece!
