Hi David, thanks a lot for paying attention to my music. .....well for the lyrics you don't understand ,It could be because I set the threshold of the compressor too low 😊 9 hours ago, SPAK said: Left a message on SC ... nice tune played well Steve Hi Steeve , cool to read you , cheers.

bjornpdx 658 Posted February 7, 2019 Olivier, Very nice performance. I thought at first this is a direct translation of City of New Orleans into French but it's not. The lyrics can be found by googling "salut les amoureux". I used Google translate for a not so poetic English version. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vilovilo 16 Posted February 7, 2019 (edited) Hi Bjorn, cool to read from you and thanks for your comment. No It is not a translation , Actually It has been a proper hit in France by the times,I really mean a hit ,here in France everyone born around the sixties knows this song . Joe Dassin's mother and father were american and I don't remember why ,but he landed here in France and became a real star here... He died too early,at around 45 . I like his adaptation ,because ,as a a kind of country fan ( not only though,but I do appreciate country music because of its oral transmission) ,I am really found of " City Of New-Orleans" , but Dassin ,with his deep understanding of what was going on ,made somewhat another song but imho ,in the proper spirit of the original . Thanks again,got to take time to check your songs . cheers.

thegaltieribrothers 173 Posted February 22, 2019 Hi Olivier, Good song, well performed with an excellent mix between voice and guitar. Thanks for sharing. Good Job! regards paul Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kloon 76 Posted February 22, 2019 Yes, very nice. The vocals and guitar lies almost perfect in the mix. Maybe a tiny bit more reverb on the vocals, but other than that. Splendid! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hi " kloon " thank you . yes maybe a little bit too dry ,but you know how it goes ,one time drawned in the verb then next time you overcompensate and it is to dry and so on .... Thanks for listening.

Well for the translation ,I admit it must be tricky because there are a lot of idiomatic turns of phrases . maybe I will try to give a shot but not sure to be able. Cheers.
