Je voudrais du soleil vert
Des dentelles et des théières
Des photos de bord de mer
Dans mon jardin d'hiver
Je voudrais de la lumière
Comme en Nouvelle-Angleterre
Je veux changer d'atmosphère
Dans mon jardin d'hiver
Ma robe à fleurs sous la pluie de novembre
Des mains qui courent, je n'en peux plus de t'attendre
Les années passent, qu'il est loin l'âge tendre
Nul ne peut nous entendre
Je voudrais du Fred Astaire
Revoir un Latécoère
Je voudrais toujours te plaire
Dans mon jardin d'hiver
Je veux déjeuner par terre
Comme au long des golfes clairs
T'embrasser les yeux ouverts
Dans mon jardin d'hiver
Ma robe à fleurs sous la pluie de novembre
Des mains qui courent, je n'en peux plus de t'attendre
Les années passent, qu'il est loin l'âge tendre

This certainly does have a bit of a Getz/Gilberto vibe to it - one of those tunes that's best suited to mid-volume listening, and for me today, one of the first Spring days warm enough to crack the window open (aka air conditioning in the PNW) - Long Live RP and my thanks to William, Alana and crew; stay cool!!
There are some voices, some Divine arrangements of music that are just PERFECT for lounging around sipping tea or coffee. This, like João and Astrid Gilberto with Stan Getz on the old Jobim bossa nova records, suits the mood well on this, the first cool and breezy day in weeks where we haven't needed the air-conditioner going full-blast. Thanks, RP!

I want light
Like in New England
I want to change the atmosphere
In my winter garden
My floral dress in the November rain
Running hands, I can't wait for you
The years go by, how far is the tender age
No one can hear us
I would like some Fred Astaire
Review a Latécoère
I would always like to please you
In my winter garden
I want to have lunch on the floor
As along clear gulfs
Kiss you with your eyes open
In my winter garden
My floral dress in the November rain
Running hands, I can't wait for you
The years go by, how far is the tender age
No one can hear us
Can someone please translate?

I'm French, so does that entitle me to say it's typical French shite? The singing is dull and flat, and this cover adds nothing to a very average original version. French is a shite language for singing anyway.
Listen, I hate the French just as much as the next guy, but I think we can all agree that she is tres boffable.
Hey this is an eclectic station, so I expect to hear all kinds of views - so be it.
I'm British and chose to live in France for the fun that you're evidently not having, and to avoid just this kind of narrow-minded typically Anglo Saxon bigotry.
Having said that, she is tres boffable

Who is Luka Philipsen and why should we care? And why do so many of these bluesy languid Euro-French ballads sound like they came from the same shop?

What an inane discussion! Don't you all get enough politics and xenophobic hate speak these days from the usual sources? I certainly do. This tripe is meaningless and, quite frankly, boring.
What I'd like to read about is interesting stuff like how representative this song is of the rest of the album, what the concerts are like, the juicy details of the artist's life, or a meaningful comparison of the versions of the song mentioned.

Brings back many bittersweet memories from my time in France. So a solid 9 here.
Sounds like she is singing "these honey bears", then I think gummy bears, honey grahams, yummy. Nice song

Nice song by the way, but I find the original by Henri Salvador even more sensual.

New Zealanders are probably the most travelled on a proportional basis. Certainly among younger, more bohemian travellers. In my day, the craziest most original (and still together) travellers were young Germans.
Well I live in Europe and we don't have problems with Americans. Maybe they are slightly naïve and in Amsterdam they tend to behave slightly odd going frenzy on the available drugs there. (The general opinion about drugs in the Netherlands is that only losers use drugs (medical issues not included)) Especially elderly Americans are very polite en often very generous.
If you look at Europe the young adults from the UK and the Netherlands have a bad reputation for partying hard and being very loud. Russians are the worst tourists to have in your hotel. They are often drunk and very bad behaving. (Sorry Russians)
But European's biggest travelers? That must be Japan. You see them everywere and they are a lot more common. But only on the hot spots. On more rural and more unknown places you mostly see just European tourists.
If you count in tourist divided by population I think Dutch people travel a lot. I bet they travel more than Amerikans.

I spent my childhood close to Paris. I was in contact with the tourists at the tour eiffel, montmarte, champs élysées. The Americans always seemed to me as coming from another planet. Polite, smiling, relaxed and rich. "Gorgeous, so nice, so cute". As Parisians tend to be very rude, they looked something between naïves and hypocrites.
It's only when I went to the US that I understood that you had a very different way of interacting.

Going in for a little self loathing? That is certainly a bad habit too many Americans indulge in.

Actually, it's not well known at all - it's a myth. In 2012, 113,431,943 Americans had valid passports - which is more than 35% of the total population. Sadly, that is still a lower percentage than most other industrialized nations, but it's well above the 10% disinformation. The 10% figure probably came from the approximate number of Americans who travel outside of North America in a given year. This tune's pleasant and harmless enough; I'm surprised at all the discord it's caused in the comments.
I have traveled and lived in Europe. In a typical conversation someone from there will point out how they hate all the American tourist who are everywhere. Then, in the next minute they'll complain how Americans don't have passports. Europe is many small countries and to travel from one to another a passport is required. You dont need a passport to go from Ohio to New Mexico, or even Mexico or Canada. Americans are by far the worlds biggest travelers

"Radio stations in France are required to play at least 40% of their songs in French, during prime hours. France's Pelchat amendmentto the 1994 Broadcasting Reform Act is the law which requires this." - From wikipedia.org
So you would expect a lot of good french music. In reality this is not the case (in my opinion). When you listen to a random french radiostation you quickly come aware of a sort of local simplistic style that has no quality to be able to sell across the border of France.
This song is pretty good though.

I was all prepared to buy the mp3 entire cd download, but as usual, after listening to the samples, I believe RP has found the one good tune from the collection. The rest were too "poppy" for my tastes. She should do more in this style. I suppose the sincerest form of positive comment is to buy the product. Well, at least I did buy this single. Also it reminds me of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yXoILGnHnvM
Gets a 7 from me. This seems the epitome of mood music—absolutely awful for certain moods and situations, absolutely perfect for others. I know, that can probably be said of most music, but certain songs have the power to seize your attention and wrench your brain into another state. This is not one of those, but it's very pretty and a good melding of voice and music.

The French language is beautiful...spoken or sung.
I really overdosed on some tracks from this album. Technically, it's pop, but so addictive.

I do understand it, which is quite a surprise as my French is pretty damn rusty these days, but she sings so clearly and slowly and enunciates ever word so clearly it's like a lesson in pronunciation :). Anyway, she's not singing anything consequential, just lazy Sunday afternoon-style lightweight sentiments. Just the sort of thing to listen to in a Left Bank café whilst sipping a Pernod and smoking a Gauloise. So smooooooooth :). 7 from the Nottingham jury.

As an American, were I to demonstrate a similar ignorance, as to that as demonstrated above, by blithely perpetuating ridiculous stereotypes about other nations or peoples, I would be well and rightly slammed for it on this board. I do not understand that there are those who feel it fine and dandy to insult Americans whenever they feel the urge.
Is this attitude driven by some sort or petty resentment, cultural isolation, or just a poor education?

roughly the same amount which are non-theistic
Those are all what the statisticians call "independent variables." I don't have a passport, I don't speak French, I go to church almost every Sunday, you would probably consider me "parochial" (we'd have to sit down for a beer or two so's you could evaluate) -- and yet I could listen to this piece all day! I don't say that to brag about my broad-mindedness, but just to point out that whether someone likes this song or not is not a test of "parochialism" or "sophistication" -- it may not mean anything more than whether or not it's your cuppa.
Keren is definitely my cuppa.
I'll have what she's having.

I have been to France twice and both times were in Strasbourg on the Rhine. I rode a motorcycle there once and remember it was totally foreign. Much more so than Germany. The other time I drove a car and really did not have time to get out and meet the people or see the sights.

Smooooth - it just reeks of Gauloises, and drinking vin de pays at a cafe table on the Rive Gauche watching the world go by :)
What I also like about her is that she sings slowly and clearly enough for me to understand her French, despite not having studied it in years :o)
Oui, Oui.....Yes and a lot of it...
Wow, what a voice!

I've responded to your earlier posts regarding your foul language, yet you apparently haven't gotten the message. What's the problem, Tony? Is this how you get off? Do you like the fact that you always get a rise out of a few listeners? Are you the problem child in the class, the clown who always has to call attention to himself by misbehaving? Tony, YOU ARE OFFENSIVE! Get it? One more time, clean up your act.
Wow, very nice, downloading...
...and someone from Ontario should know that 'twat' is French for 'superstar', pronounced soup-pair-stahr.

TWIT would have been a much better choice of words - your choice was - how do you say - MERDE!

Sounds very sweet to me. At least very likeable. Nice. I think Tony is under some pressure in his office.

Can the webmaster please delete this kind of comment, if only to keep the level of discourse from sinking? I find this offensively moronic.

Imagine sitting in an austere-seeming cafe with large plate-glass windows and dark wooden chairs, tables, and wooden trim. It's a cloudy, gray day with a wind pushing rain around. You look up from your book momentarily to gaze out the window at people passing by (catching sight of a red umbrella), and this music is playing....

I second that emotion.

What kind of an example are you setting here??
As for a little bit of "...but she's French" well, just relax and think of it as a way for Americans, people who have vitriolic sentiment coming at them continually, to humorously blow off a little steam at an easy target. Whether one believes that sentiment is deserved or not, those who do nothing but express their Anti/Un-American hate certainly cant take the moral high ground, for what can that hate possibly serve? No matter what America/ns does/do it's either too little, too much or not the right way. And its so easy for others to sit on the sidelines spewing forth distainful and damaging commentary. And for those of you who live here in America and are, yes, Un-American...take your self-hate somewhere.

What do you know about the french exactly?
Would love to discuss your limited knowledge of their culture & political heritage & re-educate your ignorant, arrogant, uncultured, self sufficient "opinion"...if you want to?
I'm wondering, how are you going to "boff" her if your not a man? But that i would not want to discuss.
Pls spare the rest of the world of your display of insignificance.
I feel better now.... 
The song's all right.
Peace y'all

Exactement!!
What is this shit about politics? Take your politics and go see if you can find some more lint in your navel! But you don't have to really tell us how much, if any, you find. Just keep it for yourself.
Man, that song was hot and so is Keren!!! Too bad, we can't step out and find that kind of entertainment downtown every night of the week...live! I'd book a table every night!

Her voice gets me bothered.
Hm. I must speak with the gardener about this - I had expected rather more from her. C'est la vie.
