Someone whose appearance is almost as cadaverous as mine, but a great singer and songwriter. This is called "Avec le temps", about love that doesn't last. "Avec le temps ... vraiment ... on n'aime plus." I just bought a CD with this song on, and I'm playing it all the time.


I almost forgot to name the gent, the great Léo Ferré.
If the video isn't working, and it isn't for me, then here's the link.

Great song no doubt but damn! Not in the uplifting category.

Funny thing - I listen to more of this kind than the more uplifting stuff. I once put together a tape of my favourite tracks. I later realised that, apart from the first, they were all about misery and loss.
Still, there are some singer/songwriters too depressing even for my taste. I'm thinking of Leonard Cohen and Townes Van Zandt.
