Ну восторг же! Совершеннейший восторг.
Прослушать одну и ту же вещь пятнадцать раз подряд, это ведь не много, правда?

Обожаю французский шансон, обожаю бразильскую боса-нову и аргентинское танго-нуэво.
Скажите, а что из музыки в двадцатом веке дали миру мы?..

Да-да, помню, в начале двадцатого века мы дали миру Рахманинова, чуть раньше - "Песню половецких девушек" Бородина и чуть позже - автомат Калашникова... много чего ещё...

Немного о коллективе + текст под катом.

"Nouvelle Vague is a French musical collective led by musicians Marc Collin and Olivier Libaux. Their name is a play on words referring simultaneously to their "Frenchness" and "artiness" (the '60s new wave of cult French cinema), the source of their songs (all covers of punk rock, post-punk, and New Wave songs), and their use of '60s Bossa nova-style arrangements.

On their first album, Nouvelle Vague, the group resurrected classics from the New Wave music era, and reinterpreted them in a bossa nova style. The songs were stripped back to acoustic arrangements with lithe shaker rhythms achieved by gathering a parade of chanteuses from all over the world (six French, one Brazilian and one New Yorker) to cover bands including XTC, Modern English, The Clash, Joy Division and The Undertones. The various female singers on Nouvelle Vague only performed songs they had never heard before, to ensure that each cover would have a unique quality".

Nouvelle Vague. "In a manner of speaking"

"In a manner of speaking
I just want to say
That I could never forget the way
You told me everything
By saying nothing

In a manner of speaking
I don't understand
How love in silence becomes reprimand
But the way that i feel about you
Is beyond words

O give me the words
Give me the words
That tell me nothing
O give me the words
Give me the words
That tell me everything

In a manner of speaking
Semantics won't do
In this life that we live we live we only make do
And the way that we feel
Might have to be sacrified

So in a manner of speaking
I just want to say
That just like you I should find a way
To tell you everything
By saying nothing.

O give me the words
Give me the words
That tell me nothing
O give me the words
Give me the words
That tell me everything"
