Re: Dirty Compilation 2008: "Evidence of Autumn"
Heh, actually, the vocals in 'But tonight' aren't really treated that much (apart from some reverb and tuning, because I can't sing well). I guess I just have a freaky voice?

Plaisir d'amour is a French poem from the 18th century:

J'ai tout quitté pour l'ingrate Sylvie
Elle me quitte et prend un autre amant

Plaisir d'amour ne dure qu'un moment
Chagrin d'amour dure toute la vie

Tant que cette eau coulera doucement
Vers-ce ruisseau qui borde la prairie
Je t'aimerai me répétait Sylvie
L'eau coule encore elle a changé pourtant.

Which translates into something like this:

I left everything for the ungrateful Sylvie
She leave me and take an other lover

Pleasure of love lasts only one moment
Sorrow of love lasts all the life

As long as this water will be running slowly
To this stream which lines the prairie
I wil love you, repeated Sylvie to me
The water is still running, she has changed yet.

Hopefully I will be able to comment on each track later on. Back to work now.
