I love this! especially that part with the tempo change. Love Astrids' voice too. good stuff!
has your signature 'sound' to it.

This is lovely. Not being able to follow the lyrics, I can only say the mood has something similar to Nico's Chelsea Girls, for me anyway - very emotive and with nothing wasted or surplus to requirements. Great!

I was listening and thought this sounded familiar.

It's always a treat to listen to the both of you perform. You make a fine combination of sounds and atmosphere.

Enjoyed

Hehe, well I wasn't totally keen on the fast bit, se though it might grow on me. Rest of it is spot on though, nice chord sequence, good arrangement and a clear mix.

Not bad for J Foreigner!

Je resterai prisonierre! Prisonierre de tes chansons, monsieur! Quelle bonnes voix. Moi, je n'aime pas le parte plus rapide autant que j'aime les partes plus lente, mais c'est different; alors, c'est bonne chose.

Excuse my French, which sucks.

Thanks for letting us hear the song-- I really like the way you've captured the purity of both voices, whether or not they're actually starkly or heavily effected.

The composition was great, too, and the flute parts fit in beautifully.

I have to say-- and I'm not talking about the language-- it sounds French!

Feels a bit Gainsbourg and Birkin

Beautiful

I'll say!

Or perhaps Gainsbourg and Bardot.

Either way...

IMHO, bass is too loud; the whole track could use some normalization and compression; the fast part is too busy. Liked it a lot, anyway.

Quand même une trés belle chanson
