All summer, we talk about a great love song every day. Today, at the time of his first successes, a singer dedicates his work to his companion.
Still, it’s a nice statement from a singer-songwriter who has written so many great hits and will write so many more. We are in 1980, Francis Cabrel is starting to really make a name for himself, especially with this song and another single from the album Fragile.
So when Cabrel, in 1980, said: “All that I could write, I drew it with the ink of your eyes”, he’s not talking about a big best of with Again and again, you’ll have to tell them, Sarbacane, It’s written, The Fisherman’s Hut, I loved you, I love you, I’ll love you, October, Out of season, The Cardinals in costume, Paris to stay… But anyway, not everything is necessarily historically accurate in this song.
