Default Re: Jacques Brel - Still In Paris

One more to show that it's not all doom and gloom.

Jacques Brel, despite being an ugly little spud, was quite successful with the girls, which is why this number is a little strange.

That and the fact that it's in 7/8, with the metre alternating between 3+4 and 4+3. A challenge for the band! I've added a quirky little synth noodle on top to punctuate -- on the Korg MS2000 that's indicated, it's a high-resonance, long decay sound that fades under the voices.

The Girls And The Dogs
is sometimes dropped from new productions of the show, but I think it's a great song. Maybe I just had my heart broken too many times as a young man.
