What do you think of this song , ?

Here a French music legend sings, but he sings entirely in English. It's an old Chanson, so don't expect a rhythmic song like today's or what started to exist in the 1980s-1990s.

Another important thing is that you really have to listen to the song all the way through to understand the whole story.

It's a nice song, I like it.. I couldn't quite get the the true meaning behind the song though.. It seems as though he was singing about never forgetting different important events in his life.. From his childhood to the love of his life.. That he never married..

[Julie4]

I'm surprised you liked it, it's an old singer, and generally today people don't appreciate this kind of song anymore lol

Well, it's about the girl who loved him, and whom he met again as an adult, he said to her, remember our love story, that we couldn't go on because your father didn't want us to be together because he was poor and his father wanted a rich man for his daughter.

So when he sees her again, they're both of a certain age, and he asks her where she is in her life, and whether she'd be willing to share some time together again.

😂... Touche Ms. Julie.. For the "Empire" thing.. I like older songs too, those are some of the best..

Wow, the makes sense with some of the things I was hearing in the song..

[Julie4]

Ah yes, I only listened to the original song, which is in French 🤣 so maybe in the English version he said some words that weren't very clear because he didn't speak English but learned it phonetically.

[Joshydavid25]

Yeah that's exactly what it was.. I couldn't understand everything he was saying, but he did speak well enough to know some though.. I guess if I listened more closely, I could have gotten the story he was telling.. LOL..

I get it. The older I get the more I think about people I used to know. Somebody I was close to died recently. I had a real urge to drive down to where we used to live just so I could somehow feel close to him again.

[Julie4]

Yeah Exactly

Thanks for the MHO😎

It's not Aznavour's best song for sure but since the others are in french I know not many would get their meanings here.

I'm already a big fan of him so I might be a bit more critical.

[IknowthatIdontKnow09]

He sang in Spanish too

It's different... quite appropriate for its timeframe... 1982.

[Julie4]

He wrote this song in 1960 lol

[purplepoppy]

Sounds like something old people would sing here.
