I like french songs ,especially old ones , the music is good ,the lyrics is very sensitive ,the singers have a such an amazing voices,such as charle tranet and claude francois . if you care I can send you some of them . or do it by yourself , you will see what I mean.
Jacques Brel--there is another one I like better, called the Port of Amsterdam, but it has somewhat risque lyrics.
This one is G-rated--pretty tricky singing, too.
Location: Monterey Bay, California -- watching the sea lions, whales and otters! :D

I love French songs!! I have loads of the Putamayo cds in French, and love Edith Piaf, but, lately I've gotten into Matthieu Chedid, aka "M" -- I love him -- he is so quirky, but fun!! (In his videos and in concerts he does have that weird "M" shaped hair, but in "real life" he doesn't.....just a gimmick -- hey, he has a song called that, too "Gimmick!"
Great video.
My son (he lives in France) turned me on to that "M" guy.
The first time I saw him, I was a bit confounded.
But he grows on you. And yeah, the M thing is just a gimmick--Jack White of the White Stripes does that kind of schtick too.
you have to listen to the french song ( la boheme) by Charles Aznavour ,I don't know why I cry everytime I listen to , even I am not sad , please listen and tell me .
.
Maurice Chavaliers "Thank Hevean for little girls" and Charles Aznavour "She" which were constantly played on the radio. Oh and some songs we were taught in French lessons in elementary school.
