Alia
Soûza: A lively
and fast start opening track. A good top-line, and one of Véro's
tracks about someone who you have to picture in your mind!
|
Christopher:
An English track! And, it's very good too. Obviously
written about her newly born son. It's a slow number but very
beautiful.
|
Cent
Fois: The tempo speeds up. Not a dance
record, but to be noted for it's piano solos. Has appeared on
the flip side to Amoureuse (original English version).
|
Véronique:
Another beautiful melody, and a superb although gentle accompaniment
on the guitar.
|
Un
peu plus de noir: This
is almost my favourite on this album. A great tune. Pure
speculation, but is Véronique recounting her meningitis experience?
|
Le
Maudit: The title
track, and deservedly so. Very strong indeed musically and
lyrically. My preferred line "ta douleur efface ta faute"
comes across so effectively.
|
Ma
musique s'en va:
Lyrics in a
similar vein to "un peu plus de noir". It
sounds like Véro has been having a hard time! This all makes
this song so much more moving - another beautiful tune.
|
L'Etoile
Rouge: A pleasant
track, but perhaps lacking a bit on having something different about
it. Perhaps that's why it rarely sees the light of day until
lately. A good guitar solo, but now having seen it played live,
the song as a whole has got a lot more going for it!
|
Les
Cloches de Carmel: This
is another track which seems to get too easily overlooked. It's
a shame because this one is refreshing and strong. I think
it's a great one to play in concert... where it's real potential
lies.
|
Bouddha:
Builds from a slow start into a real catchy and lively number.
It's got that touch to it which makes it stick in your mind.
|
On
m'attend là-bas: One of the rare tracks when
Véronique picks up her guitar. Released as the "b"
side to Le Maudit, and the rockiest number of this album.
Included on the 93/94 tours, and erformed with Paul Personne at
Francofolies de la Rochelle. Now one of her most popular tracks.
