Song of the Day - May 9, 2005

Beautiful music is beautiful no matter what the language. The music transcends the language barrier. Autour de Lucie is just such a band. Their music is in French. The lead vocalist, Valerie Leulliot, sings "Je Reviens" in a melancholy tone that brings images of a foggy, misty night in Paris. She is accompanied by acoustic guitar and an electric guitar with tons of reverb, eventually the drums enter into the mix, and the song ends with violins. The whole mix is one of simple elegance, with nothing overdone. Click here to listen, translation not provided.
