I had made this cover in 2018..I started at that time to make recordings in my small studio with REAPER ..since that time a good number of plug ins have improved the sound listen on the MP3 player and on the video the two versions and the difference in sound ...



It's a song by Michel Rivard, from the band Beau Dommage,
the title is "South Shore"
The South Shore corresponds to the "southern" suburbs of Montreal.
This song is in the eponymous LP record "Beau Dommage" from 1994
I thought it would be an easy retake,...but no!..well I can't do better; May the masters forgive me
here are the words in french and their translation

Guitar Martin, Fender strato, Melodica, basse  JP (Jahia)  drums, organ midi soundfont

D A Em G A
I was born on the South Shore I grew up on the South Shore, baby
D A Em C G
Everything I learned on the South Shore All I know
Done school on the South Shore Done love on the South Shore, baby
Never left the South Shore Never dared 

I lost on the South Shore My music and my certainties, baby
Saturday Night on the South Shore Everything to Win
In the bars of the South Shore In the arms of solitude, baby
Videoclubs and waterbeds Car controls 


I dreamed of the North Shore Invented mountains and gold mines
Riding rivers like chimeras at dawn
I dreamt of the Imagined North Rive of Women and Meteors
In the North Shore Sky


I was driving as usual, baby.
You entered the light and I dared 
All my dreams on the South Shore The craziest and most absurd, baby
All my life on the South Shore by your side


thank you guys for listening

It is a very good job JP...
Your voice is perfect with this kind of music.
Bravo.

[Mike_S]

Brilliant JP. This is a lovely song and I think you have done it proud. You are introducing me to songs I would never have heard. Well done, a fine version.

Mike

[Jean Pierre]

Thank you JP

Thank you Mike....it is the interest of this site: to discover thanks to the members of various nationalities and musical sensitivity of the songs which one does not know (cf my answer to your song 'the importance of being Idle"...

[cuthbert]

I like this a lot! Don't know the original song, but can appreciate all the little musical details you put into it. Mix sounds great, too - well done!

[Ferryman_1957]

I really enjoyed this JP. A great blend of instruments and that melodica just adds a very nice feel to the track. Subtle, very well played and put together and beautifully sung.

[Jean Pierre]

thank you Cuthbert and Ferryman
...coming from musicians like you, it touches me

[Jean Pierre]

PS for Cuthbert: I used the vst plugins Abbey Road Chamber for the voice .. but I still don't know how to use it.
