CARGO DE NUIT cover Axel Bauer (version anglaise Roger Daltrey take me home

[Jean Pierre]

A lot of material for this cover of a 1983 song by Axel Bauer (French singer, songwriter, guitarist and actor).
While researching on wiki and YT I was surprised to see that this song was covered in English by Roger Daltrey (Take me Home) singer of The Who in 1987.


 Drums with Band in a Box  everything else is homemade.

- 5 guitar take (telecaster HB copy  and Epiphone Les Paul )
- Basse Precision HB copy
- M Audio Keystation with sound font Merlin

 in the intro the pedal (note held) is produced with a violin bow on the lower E string (see Jimmy page  https://www.youtube.com/watch? v=AIHabvURnpk )

Big production here everything has its place well done

I've not heard this song before but your version has a bit of psychedelia in it, which I like. The bowed E string works real good for the sustaining note and all the little extra guitar parts add a lot to the mix. Well done JP!

thank you Tim and Farrell
  I like the particular atmosphere of this song here are the lyrics in french and the original "live" version by Axel Bauer which is worth to be known

Cargo de nuit) trente-cinq jours sans voir la terre
Pull rayé, mal rasé
On vient de débarquer
(Cargo de suie) trente-cinq jours de galère
Et deux nuits pour se vider (la nuit te suit)
Change de port
j'avance sur ce quai humide
La sueur brûle comme l'acide
L'enfer va commencer
(Cargo de nuit) bières chaude et narguilés
"Chez Mario" tout oublier (la nuit te nuit)
Change de port
Mais cette machine dans ma tête
Machine sourde et tempête
Mais cette machine dans ma tête
Leitmotiv, nuits secrètes
Tatoue mon âme à mon dégoût
lanterne rouge, je guette l'entrée
L'alcool est mon allié
L'amour il faut payer
(Cargo d'ennui) virée grasse, elle m'entraîne
Vers l'angoisse et la rengaine (la nuit t'ennuie)
Change de port
Mais cette machine dans ma tête
Machine sourde et tempête
Mais cette machine dans ma tête
Leitmotiv, nuits secrètes
Tatoue mon âme à mon dégoût
J'ai voulu tout chavirer
Mon espoir s'est échoué
J'en ai marre de ramer
La détresse a pollué
L'océan de mes pensées
Et cette machine dans ma tête
Machine sourde et tempête
Et cette machine dans ma tête
Leitmotiv, nuit secrète
Tatoue mon âme à mon dégoût

This is a bit different from you JP but I really like it. The intro is excellent you create a nice brooding atmosphere with the backing and all the angular guitar parts. It's very well put together and was a great listen, I would enjoy hearing more like this from you.

[Jean Pierre]

thank you Nigel

I would enjoy hearing more like this from you.

...OK I'm in the process of making an incredible song by a great French songwriter and composer who's little known abroad, I suppose: Gerard Manset, and the song's called "camion bâché" (covered truck).
it's a pretty long song, 255 bars! (more than 7mn) and it's very "cinematographic" as a song.

Oooh - I missed this the first time around. Not a song I've heard before, but I do love the bowed electric guitar and the other spikey guitar bits. Reminds me of The Creation! Great performance all around.

Nice one, JP.

[Jean Pierre]

thank you Cuthbert...what is The creation?

[guitarron]

Really enjoyed this. A nice departure for you.  Well mixed. Nice work JP
