Kicking off 2015 with a bit of bi-lingual blues. OK, so it's not exactly une chanson en français, but it does have the title in French, plus the odd line. Apologies in advance to "mes amis en france". Very few tracks running compared to some of my offerings - Drums are RD Blues BB Even 8s The rhythm guitar, lead guitar and fretless bass are all played in live. The brass is a MIDI mix of Forte and Edirol Orchestral. It's all recorded in Realband and mixed and mastered in Powertracks. C'EST PAS DIFFICILEI was sitting all alone in this smokey Paris bar Watching this young girl play the blues on her guitar She played it kinda laid back, she played it kinda sweet But when she played it really hot well it just brought me to my feet I walked across the room just to see what I could steal When I asked her "how's it done?" she said "C'est pas difficile" She played an old blue Telecaster 1957 It was battered, it was bruised, but she made it sound like heaven Her Vox AC30 was up at number nine And stamping on the "Cry Baby" sent shivers down my spine I'd been playing all my life and never got that feel When I asked her "how's it done?" she said "C'est pas difficile" Well my French was not too good and I found it hard to speak, I said "Comment vous jouez le blues si manifique?" I think she understood me but it's very hard to say, though She put down her guitar and she sort of looked my way She kinda looked right through me, as though I wasn't real Then she walked across and laughed and said "C'est pas difficile". I said " Pouvez vous m'apprendre à jouer blues comme ça?" She laughed again and shook her head and then she said "Pourquoi?" I was reaching for my phrase book but she knocked it from my hand Then she said in perfect English "Well, I think you understand That music's not a language, it's more the way you feel And if you try I think you'll find, c'est pas difficile." She said " Music's not a language, it's more the way you feel And if you try I think you'll find C'est pas difficile". If you have time to listen, many thanks. ROG.

Good write, an enjoyable listen. It's go a very Dire Straits Industrial Disease vibe to it.

Hi Rog, Productionwise I don't give any comments, I just bow my head :-) The song is just great fun! It's a fun story and I enjoyed it all the way trhrough. Loved it, in the spirit of Talking Heads... Great! Psychokiller! Qu'est que c'est?  Fred

Cool tune..... yup...I got some heavy "Dire/Dylan" influence from that excursion into bi-lingual music.....
The bass end seemed fairly heavy and I had to back off the volume to make it sound right. Might just be my system here. Small speakers.... but certainly overloaded.
I don't understand French.... or any other language for that matter...and sometimes have a hard time with English as well.... depends on the accent.
Good song.

Smokin Hot, Hot, Hot! Just a great sound all the way through. The cry- baby is killer. The way the lead and the bass come in together is very well thought out and expertly played. This one just made my current playlist. The dry drum sound works perfectly for this. The lyrics are engaging and it is very well delivered. There isn't a single thing that I don't like about this. Excellent work!!! Tom

Bob Dylan meets Hendrix meets Dire Straights meets ROG!! Very cool tune. Everything works. A real treat to listen to!! Take care. Greg Well we can't top that but.... "Music's not a language, it's more the way you feel And if you try I think you'll find C'est pas difficile" That is such a cool line and, yes, Dylan/Hendrix/Knopfler indeed and square in the middle of our wheelhouse. We're not about to try and parse this song out. We'd rather just listen again. Loving that vocal, guitar and the whole arrangement. This one is already added to the playlist and has got to be one of the top rockers we've heard here. Yeah, we enjoyed it. J&B

Really like the wah effect, works really well. Top lyrics, and great ending. Hi Trevor. Many thanks. I love playing wah guitar, but you really have to have the "Cry Baby" - nothing else comes close. There's even a bit of slide with wah on this track! ROG
