Love that, love Trenet. I've been listening to Trenet all morning as I write and now he's infiltrated the fiction and the jukebox in the Mermaid Cafe.n So much so that the end of the book will focus on the Trenet song, La Mer (thankfully the Mermaid Cafe is located at the end of a pier looking out upon an unnamed sea)

The first time I listened to this, I wasn't sure what I thought. After reading the lyrics, it seems rather poetic and creates intriguing imagery. This helped me to appreciate it better and then I rather enjoyed listening to it again a few times. Thanks Am, for an unusual and interesting song.

Quote:
All that we see or seem
Is but a dream within a dream
Take this kiss upon the brow
And in parting from you now
This much let me avow
You are not wrong who deemed
That my days have been a dream
Yet if hope has flown away
In a night, in a day, in a vision, or a memory
Is it therefore the less gone?
All that we see or seem
Is but a dream within a dream
I stand amid the roar
Of the surf tormented shore
And I hold within my hands
Grains of golden sand
How few yet how they creep
Through my fingers to the deep
While I weep, while I weep
Oh god can I not grasp them with a tighter clasp
Oh god can I not save one from the pitiless wave
Is all that we see or seem
But a dream within a dream

Ah! Of course, it is so apparent now. Makes the song even so much better now I have woken up that it is Poe!

This one is even better known:

and also this slightly controversial cover by a singer of North African descent
i love trenet ! and the cover by rachid taha also. my favourite songs by trenet are :

boum


and my favourite favourite, "de la fenêtre d'en haut" which sadly is unfindable on youtube. so here you go with a link to it on deezer :

I have a collection of Trenet's songs called 'Le Jardin Extraordinaire', Boum! is the first song on it and whenever I hear it I want to buy a bicycle and spend the summer on the coast visiting Art Deco cafes and sipping espresso (I'm weird that way). Also it reminds me of Tati (I always see Monsieur Hulot in my head when I'm listening)

Thanks for the Deezer link, more Trenet for me today!

What a voice Trenet had I heard that he would only sing songs he actually wrote, but I'm not sure if that's true. I think the Hulot association comes from mixing all things French in my head. When I was studying film I spent a considerable time on the Nouvelle Vague and watched ridiculous amounts of French cinema - Truffaut, Godard, Chabrol etc - but I only came to Tati later on, so it's a lot more vivid in my head
