Souvenir de Paris (maxit & greeny)

[maxit]

Mon amis, a bientot in Paris!!!! (Jean pierre excusez nous lol)
That s me and Tim and a friend of us playing fisarmonica: Mattia Prata




Souvenir de Paris

Wide boulevards like rivers of life
Ribbons of history
And it's pouring with poets on St Germain
Couplets of drunken feet

Je t'adore this city - her rainy old face
The bones in her cemeteries
So pour me a glass and we'll reminisce
The warmth of a cognac
A scandalous kiss
All buttoned up for winter
Under skeleton trees
This souvenir de Paris

She's wrapping a cadeaux of songs just for me
In a box with a bow
That my heart will receive
All chinoise and perfume
Like a Baudelaire dream
In the streets at midnight

Make this stone flesh, make this gargoyle alive
In the stars of the gothic night
It's clear but it's cold
And it sure feels like snow
Lovers all tucked up tight

I move like a ghost through the Place des Vosges
Invisible now with age
But pour me a glass and we'll reminisce
The warmth of a cognac
A scandalous kiss
All buttoned up for winter
Under skeleton trees
This souvenir de Paris

A beautiful vibe love it laid back and lovely and so French it makes for a oooh La la ....

[StephenM]

Reading the lyrics while listening to Tim sing them is worth the time.  Generally this kind of music isn't my thing but the vocal performance is astounding to me

brilliant.

the music is perfect for it as well... and I do love that .... monica thing!

[Farrell Jackson]

Very nice Max, Tim and friend! The great vocals with such descriptive lyric is a real winner. The sparse music works so well and the fisarmonica puts the charm into the song. Well done everyone!

[Geir]

This is lovely indeed.

Has the effect of lowering my pulse and I feel the tension in my body slowly float away.


Nice!

Beautiful song, guys. The vocals and arrangement are sophisticated and top-notch. Love the atmosphere, squeaks and all.

Now I'm off to dig up some info on the fisarmonica...

Edit: Hey now, it's Italian for 'accordion'. Learn something new every day.

[Ray Brookes]

Well this is different. Bonjour from Sydney, Australia. Nice music, nice vocals - cool track. Half expecting Maurice Chevalier to join in. Well done, guys.

Lyricly brilliant, musically beautiful.
