Have you hugged a French person today? I hope you will enjoy this small collection of clichés about the French as well as a modest guitar arrangement of the French national anthem, La Marseillaise.

We Can All Go Home Now (to John Prine)
มุมมอง 8362 หลายเดือนก่อน
Today, I am thankful for being able to record a tune with my lovely daughter Georgia and her husband Vlad. They are both highly-trained classical musicians active on the NY music scene. They took time off their well-deserved holiday break to do this little recording with me. A brand new song that I'm excited about. I couldn't have dreamed of a better way to spend this afternoon. I hope you will...

En voici une que je dédie à tous les copains et copines francophones ! À l'approche d'Halloween on se raconte des histoires à faire peur. Celle-ci m'est venue le soir de la pleine lune d'octobre (lune du chasseur), il y a quelques jours et elle est nourrie du folklore louisianais. One I want to send out to all of my French speaking friends. Halloween is near and we like to tell each other scary...

Late Again (words and music by Oliv')
มุมมอง 1494 หลายเดือนก่อน
'Late Again' is about someone who is consistently running behind and keeps stressing about it without being able to adjust. The situations become increasingly serious but they are also supposed to be laughable. I used a "high-strung" tuning on the guitar to add some intensity to the song and perhaps evoke a ticking clock or the anxiety of tardiness. Late Again » parle de quelqu'un qui est toujo...
Les Séparés (poem by Marceline Desbordes-Valmore, music by Oliv’) with French Captions
มุมมอง 2627 หลายเดือนก่อน
This poem was written almost two hundred years ago. At the time, people who could afford it used the postal service a lot (if you were lucky, you could enjoy two deliveries a day). And many love letters were exchanged. In this poem that I set to music, the person talking is telling her lover not to write anymore. Ce poème a été écrit il y a près de deux cents ans. À l'époque, ceux qui en avaien...

A Simple Story (words & music by Oliv’)
มุมมอง 2729 หลายเดือนก่อน
A brand new song. I have always admired (and been envious of) songwriters who excel at crafting narrative-driven pieces. Here is an attempt at telling a “simple story” with a few verses. The music came to me as I experimented with the celebrated open-D tuning D A D F# A D, for the first time. If you enjoy this song, please leave a like and maybe a comment. Subscribing to my channel is also a gr...
I Shall Be Released (Bob Dylan cover, fingerstyle)

Another one that has seen hundreds of outstanding covers. I have always wanted to figure out a way to play it using the early-Dylan fingerstyle approach. I hope you'll enjoy my rendition of this timeless tune.
Louis Collins (Mississippi John Hurt cover) by Oliv’
มุมมอง 36111 หลายเดือนก่อน
One of Mississippi John Hurt's most popular songs. This one belongs to the "murder ballad" category. Many scholars have researched the origins of the song. According to Elijah Wald and others, an older song, "Bully of the Town," presenting similarities with "Louis Collins" portrays Collins as a bully and predates Hurt's composition (see Eric McHenry's article for The American Scholar). As repor...

When you are really into someone who doesn't share your sentiments... This song is a form of response to "Long Before I knew You" that I wrote a year ago. It may sound a little dramatic but it is meant to be funny. If you enjoy the song please share it, give it a "like" and maybe leave a comment. Thanks for listening.

I wrote this song a few weeks ago but I didn't get a chance to record it until now. It turns out that NPR's Tiny Desk Contest will be accepting entries for the 2024 edition very soon, so I decided to pick this new work as my entry. For those of you who do not know the Tiny Desk Contest's rules, it is mandatory to have a desk visible in the frame, hence the small bench with the staring frog. I h...

This is a song I recorded about a year ago. I had the feeling that last year's version could have come out better and I wanted to give it another shot. Somehow it always seems to come out a bit sloppy 😅 Maybe the Whiskey sours have something to do with it? Voici une chanson que j'avais enregistrée il y a un an. J'avais l'impression que la version de l'année dernière méritait d'être revue, j'ai ...

@@hontilavlad4927 Thank you, Vlad!
Merci mon cousin pour cette belle chanson ❤, bises de Franche Comté 🫂😘.😊
@@boubou255 Merci Michel, Je suis bien content que tu l'aimes. Grosses bises à vous 😘
Salut Cousin ! … Tes cousines réunies dans les Pyrénées pour découvrir ensemble ce doux moment musical… Bises de nous deux 😘✨💞✨ Marjorie et Virginie ✨
@@virginietroussardcerrito4578 quelle surprise ! Merci Virginie et Marjorie. Je vous embrasse bien fort.
Joli béret ! très belle guitare et chouette morceau !
Merci, Michel. Ça me fait plaisir. Le béret ne sert pas souvent 🙂 mais là, il s'imposait. Merci pour la guitare aussi (si je devais n'en avoir qu'une, ce serait celle-là).
You nailed it, man ! Bravo pour cette nécessaire chanson et pour avoir placé un peu de Marseillaise dans ton solo ;)
@@IdrissHasnaouimerci Idriss, "Qui aime bien châtie bien" qu'ils disent... Ça me fait plaisir que tu la trouves réussie. J'aurais peut-être dû songer à une petite flambée à la Hendrix, aussi?
😂😂 fantastique !! ❤
@@georgiareine rapide comme l'éclair ! Merci L ❤️
🤣 je l’attendais impatiemment, celle-ci
@georgiareine ça manque un peu de violoncelle !

Good job.
Thank you for listening. I am happy you liked it.
GREAT !
@@alfrede.newmen3024 Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it. Cheers.
Nice one, it's a trcky song. Thanks for posting.

Great stuff! Thank you
@@joshuatell Very happy you liked it. Thank you for listening and for sending a word.
every time i listen to this song it makes me want to pack up and bounce
It's a good one! Thanks for listening.
Hell yeah brother
@@yellerkang Thanks!
Very nice, Olivier! Love, "This sounds like the music before the credits roll." (May have slightly misquoted.) I know you dedicate it to John Prince, but it feels Dylan-esque in parts to me!
Thank you, Richard! Makes me very happy that you enjoyed it. And I think you are right, one could say that there's a Dylanesque element to the song. Thanks for the compliments! They mean a lot.
so beautiful
Thank you!
Again... thank you for the expressions you voiced.. its so relevant today....
Hello John, thank you for listening to it and dropping a line. It's always nice to hear from you. I am glad you liked it. My best to you.
Quelle surprise ! Magnifique chanson servie par un accompagnement tout en retenue et en émotions. Bravo Georgia et Vlad ! On en redemande !
Merci Idriss, Georgia sera aussi contente que moi de voir un petit mot de "son ami." Je suis content que tu puisses les entendre dans ce contexte. Merci pour ton mot !

Cette interprétation est bien plus belle que l'original. Bravo l'artiste 😉

That was beautifully done, sir. Thank you.
Thanks for listening and for writing. I am happy that you enjoyed my version of this great tune.

You ever play any Townes Van Zandt?
Hey. Thank you for listening and sending a word. I have not yet recorded a Townes song but have been meaning to. Going to get to work!

Je voulais ajouter cette magnifique chanson à mon répertoire et je me suis à la recherche d'une belle reprise pour m'en inspirer. Ce sera la vôtre si cela ne vous ennuie pas .... magnifique !

Vraiment ma tasse de café tant le son que le texte ❤
Sweet. Ça me fait plaisir que tu l'aimes. Bisous
Awesome playing and singing.
Thank you for listening and dropping me a line! Glad you enjoyed it.
Very nice, Olivier. I like the plaintive feel to it. Subtitles? Or would that seem a bit weird? I know I'd like them!
Merci Richard, Going to figure out something. Maybe I'll paste them under the description. Glad you liked the atmosphere! Thank you for listening to it.
Merci pour cette chanson de saison ! Je trouve que tu arrives très bien à créer cette atmosphère vaguement inquiétante, notamment grâce à ton pre-chorus me semble-t-il.
@@IdrissHasnaoui Hello Idriss, Merci pour tes compliments. On essaie... Mais le côté inquiétant vient peut-être aussi de ma mine patibulaire !😂

Thanks for this posting... always enjoy your songs and singing voice
Thank you, John! I am very happy you enjoyed this new song in French.
Very good

Very nice, Olivier! Gaywynn says it reminds her of Gordon Lightfoot. I see what she means!

Très belle chanson avec juste ce qu'il faut de mélancolie.
@@IdrissHasnaoui Thanks, Idriss. Joli mot, la mélancolie. Merci d'avoir écouté la chanson. J'espère que tu vas bien. Bises.
Merci Olivier pour cette belle chanson qui paraît triste car je ne sais pas traduire ☺️!
Hello Michel, Je suis content qu'elle te plaise. C'est vrai qu'il s'agit d'un chagrin et de mélancolie. Donc ça passe la barrière de la langue ! Merci de prendre toujours un moment pour m'écouter et me laisser un mot. Bises
Good Morning and thanks again for this new posting... wonderfully expressed emotion and persanal reflection...much appreciated !

Encore une fois tu nous apportes du plaisir à t'écouter, merci mon cher cousin, grosses bises.

i like your voice
Thank you. I am happy you do!
Just about perfect in every aspect of this song. The finger style, the fragility of the vocal. Even though I’ve heard this song before by many an artist; this is top notch 😏
Wow! Thank you for this very generous comment on my playing and singing. It makes me very happy that you enjoyed this version. My best to you, -- Oliv'
Very nice, Olivier. I especially like the close where you voice rises.
@@richardgoodman8509 Thanks for listening to it, Richard. I am very happy you like it. I remember that you had commented on a similar vocal contrast in another recording I did 😉 and wanted to try to have the same thing happen in one of my tunes. Have a safe trip!
