Le vent a tourné! (the wind has turned) NEW VERSE!

[Jean Pierre]

it's a composition of my friend Bernard ...he did it all! lyrics, music, and instruments ...I just added a lead guitar, for fun

It's rock made in France Ladies and Gentlemen! 

tout a commencé au mois d'aout
les nuits, j'n'en voyait plus le bout
mes jours s'écoulaient sans saveur
j'vous jure que je comptais les heures
La mort me narguait jours et nuits
Tout était noir, même plume de lit
l'amour part dans le néant
La vie perdait tous son mordant
j'avais le plomb, le coeur obscur
c'était trop long ... c'était trop dur!

Bien sur tout cela a duré
des mois longs comme des années
Je ne pensais pas m'en sortir
ce cauchemar n'allait jamais finir

et puis un jour sur une photo
un jolie minois pour mon coeur gros
le téléphone a fonctionné
l'amour en fin m'a déniché
Fini le plomb, le coeur obscur
Je fais des bonds
vers le futur

solo

me voila de nouveau amoureux
quand on y pense c'est fabuleux
et même si l'on n'a plus 20 ans
la vie nous sourit à présent

va t'elle nous épargner les peines
les douleurs et les problèmes
en attendant on en profite
car tous les deux on a la frite!

Fini le plomb, le cœur obscur
je fais des bonds...vers le futur

___________translation
All starts in August
the nights, I couldn't see the end of it anymore
my days passed without flavor
I swear to you that I was counting the hours
Death mocked me day and night
Everything was black, even the bed feather
love goes into nothingness
Life lost all its bite
I had the blues, the dark heart
it was too long ... it was too hard!

Of course all this lasted
months as long as years
I didn't think I'd make it
this nightmare was never going to end

and then one day on a photo
a pretty face for my big heart
the phone worked
love in the end found me
No more blues, no more dark heart
I'm jumping up and down
into the future

solo

here I am in love again
when you think about it, it's fabulous.
and even if you are no longer 20 years old
life is smiling at us now

will she save us the trouble
pain and problems
in the meantime we take advantage of it
because we both feel great!!

No more blues, no more dark heart
I make leaps and bounds...into the future

Nice hopeful arc in the lyrics.    Bernard's vocal performance is very good, and the mix sounds quite professional.

[StephenM]

big love....love love love

You've gone all 'Santana' on us, JP :-)

Really nice track. Listening without looking at the translated lyric gave me the wrong impression: it sounded like a happy latin groove. But those words are DARK man! I especially liked the translated line 'Everything was black, even the bed feather', which probably isn't even an accurate translation.

Really great playing.

Thats some fantastic lead guitar work....fantastic.....the wind must have been blowing your hair as you were laying it down....what a great song

[Ferryman_1957]

Nice collab JP, it's a very good song with some great lyrics and the lead work is the icing on the cake. I agree with what others have said, there's a nice Santana feel in your playing. It certainly sounds like you had fun doing this, and I really enjoyed listening to it.

[TPB]

Great collab rocking with screaming leads well done

[Jean Pierre]

thank you guys....I let myself grow a moustache like Carlos Santana.


Thanks again to Bernard for accepting my guitaristic elucubrations on his beautiful composition.

...and then I made a new version by applying myself a little more
