Hello everyone,
Pardon my lack of French, but I really need your help.
I'm not very much familiar with talented Laurent Voulzy opus. But, back in early 90's, I've heard simply exquisite song from Laurent. The only thing I can remember about that song is that in the same video of that song… during the entire song, he is seating in the train cabin. The atmosphere of the video is elegant and the song is very catchy. But for life of me, I can't find it.
If someone could please tell me, what is the name of that song or album?
Thank you |

hi de funnes,
i think you are talking about this song :
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ftrhUBG9dg
Paradoxal system (1992) from the album Caché derrière.
One of the best songs of Laurent..............but he wrote so many nice songs that it's hard to tell which one is the best.......  .All Laurent's songs are " the best" 
have a nice time

Hello DeFunnes (what's in a name...),
Thanks for your interest in out little fan site devoted to a very very talented singer-songwriter-musician-performer.
And congratulations for having very good taste indeed!
Are you from the UK or another English-speaking country?
If so, you might be interested to know that Laurent will be performing his first-ever show across the Channel on 14 October, at the Shepherd's Bush Empire.
Shall we have the pleasure of meeting up with you there? There'll be quite a bunch of us so-called 'April People' present that evening.
Take care,
PheePhee

You're welcome here, Simon Templar friend... (I saw your e-mail address)
Yes, the song you're writing about must be "Paradoxal système", as said.
All the best.

"Paradoxal système"... A un accent et une lettre près, le titre serait pareil en anglais et en français.
A moins que, comme le nom et l'adjectif ont été inversés pour obtenir un effet de style (on aurait plutôt dit "Système paradoxal", non ?), on fasse pareil en anglais, ce qui donnerait... "System Paradoxal".
Funny, isn't it?

Alors. alors... l'occasion est rêvée de se refaire un petit quiz, non ?
Qui pourra nous citer toutes les chansons (à l'exception de celles de "La Septième Vague" de Laurent Voulzy dont l'intégralité du titre est en anglais ?
Donc, par exemple, "Qui est in, qui est out" ne compte pas puisque l'intégralité des mots du titre ne sont pas pas en anglais...
Les titres publiés par Laurent sous pseudonymes (Dandy Lion, etc...) sont autorisés !
A vos marques...

Très bien Valérie... Mais il y en a encore quelques autres :
"Milady"
"If You Want To Love Me Baby" et "Deep Purple" (parus sous le pseudo "Dandy Lion", éphémère groupe comprenant Laurent et Ann Sheridan, qui a sorti un unique 45t... et c'est avec elle qu'il a enregistré aussi "Thriller", qui aurait pu être le 2e single du duo... s'il n'avait pas été réécrit en "Rockollection" quelques mois plus tard !)
"Whistle Theme" (paru sous le pseudo BBM, encore un projet ésotérique de LV...)
"Peggy (Bye Bye)"
"Ricken"
"Cadillac Cruise"
"Desire Desire" (hé hé, c'est la version anglaise de ce que vous savez !)
"Two To Tango" (face B d'un des singles de "Caché derrière", je ne sais plus lequel).
Et je suis sûr qu'il en reste encore !

A l'époque de "Milady" (1974) ou de "Two To Tango" (1992) ?

How amazing...
Thanks for your kind words, Mr Mark...
Tiens, 'Mr Mark', ça me fait penser au début de la chanson 'Temporary Secretary' de Paul McCartney :
"Mr. Mark, can you find for me
Someone strong and sweet
Sitting on my knees..."

Hello everyone. Thank you kindly for your warm welcome. Allow me also to apologize for not writing in French.
Between active usage of English and German, haven't use French actively, in a long, long time. Even further is
the path from written experience. I have utmost respect for your language and would not want to treat the same
in dilettante fashion. That is why I chose this way, I hope you can forgive me. Well, since I see that PhiPhi examined
the language side of Laurent choices, I had to comment this 
| Valérie wrote: | hi de funnes, i think you are talking about this song :Paradoxal system (1992) from the album Caché derrière.
One of the best songs of Laurent..............but he wrote so many nice songs that it's hard to tell which one is the best.......
.All Laurent's songs are " the best" have a nice time |
Merci beaucoup Valérie
They say, never compare your heroes of the past to avoid disappointment. Well, this song passed the test of time.
After all this years I still find this song simply exquisite. Such a profound theme with certain dissonance that makes
the mood even more enjoyable. I've ordered a several CD's from Laurent, including Caché derrière
From what I've learned listening to some less known tracks of previous Laurent's works. He is perfectionist about his work.
Arrangements, vocals, he really takes production very seriously. I like that. The link you kindly provided also reminded me
about Les Nuits Sans Kim Wilde, I almost forgot about that collaboration.
Valerie, this picture of yours reflects a kind person in touch with the nature. I think you can recommend me a good vegetarian
restaurant next time I visit Paris

My user name is reflecting my hero : Louis de Funès
I'm ashamed to admit, while I was creating this user profile on your charming forum… I accidentally made a typo about his name into "funnes" -
moderator, please feel free to correct my user name into de Funès. This is particularly embarrassing because Louis is my hero, and in my humble opinion,
not one of the, but the greatest comedian ever. Every gesture of Louis communicates comedy, I adore him.

No, my native country is Croatia. Last time I was in France…let me think… yes, that was 1998. No plans to visit UK earlier then 2009 I'm afraid.
I'm a bit surprised to learn that this be Laurent's first show there. Considering his talent, it is a mighty shame if you ask me.
As I write this reply, just soaking into dreamy voice of Coralie Clement while listening to her CD. Sad that she has,
such a moderate discography. And Vinyl would grace that voice with even greater aplomb caressing that atmosphere.

Thank you Jmc, Just bookmarked this forum and it will supply more motivation to refresh my French.
