The acoustic guitar is cleverly played ( but I am no musician so it may not be...it just sounds good to me) and the French language is so beautiful to listen to ( I imagine English does not sound  as good as that to a non-native speaker!! it just flows and makes wonderful shapes in the air. She could be singing about sewer rats for all I know!! Really warm and sunny and relaxed. Sorry I can't do any links, haven't a clue about that sort of thing, but do try and find, it's good. Raphael is my favourite at the moment. bee -------------- ....second to the right and straight on till morning....

I don't know if you know about this, but Carla Bruni is a rather well-known model, who only recently started singing - she has a tiny voice, and the one who plays acoustic guitar is not her. . However, I like that song too. I've not heard the rest. By the way, the title means "Someone told me" and the chorus says: "Someone told me that you still love me. It's only that someone told me that you still love me: could this be possible?" -------------- Ugo C. - a devoted Amarokian Back to top

Her French sounded... well French if you know what I mean. It really is a good album. I recommend it. bee -------------- ....second to the right and straight on till morning....

Her French sounded... well French if you know what I mean. Yes, of course she's Italian... she's from Florence. Her French sounds perfect French because she's a model for the Christian Dior fashion house and so she's lived in France much longer than in Italy. However, as I said, I rather like that song, so I'll surely check out the album when I have some time to find it. P.S. Who is Raphael? I'm curious... -------------- Ugo C. - a devoted Amarokian Back to top

She certainly sounds as if she loves him!! Good song. Is he famous too, by the way? -------------- ....second to the right and straight on till morning....

Ugo Group: Members Posts: 5495 Joined: April 2000 Posted: Nov. 15 2005, 15:53 I've just checked out the lyrics... "Raphaël" is indeed a love song, although the words do not specify who Raphaël is... obviously. The chorus says: "He looks like a wise man, and his words are like velvet; he has a deep voice and his gaze never goes astray; when he tells stories, when he invents, I could listen to him night and day..."  Very nice indeed. -------------- Ugo C. - a devoted Amarokian Back to top

Ugo Group: Members Posts: 5495 Joined: April 2000 Posted: Nov. 18 2005, 11:18 Is there a little misunderstanding here? Are we talking about the "Raphael" who is the subject of one of Carla Bruni's songs, or about a Raphael who is a real singer/artist, and which I'm not aware of at all? If the second is the case... Sonilink... I'd like to know who he is... please. -------------- Ugo C. - a devoted Amarokian Back to top
