1985

There was just something

about this song

---from Laurent Voulzy's repertoire---

that appealed to my ear...

even though I was never much

of a Kim Wilde fan myself...

Not ''wild about Wilde'' - nope!

Not at all...!!!

She was just about the same as

Samantha Fox, Luba, Sheena Easton

and all the others, back in the day

- in my luminous estimation...!

A mere prefiguration of Britney Spears

--- perhaps? At best!

But this song...

made her more!

Much more!

She became a prototypical muse -

equal to all of my other muses

also back in the day...

Comments:

The Laurent Voulzy-Kim Wilde connection, though (let's call it that: a connection) would be the very best example of PEACE between the French and the English... EVER.

Infinitely better than the collaboration between France Gall and Elton John...

For one example...

The English and the French should never get along, however...

And they never be entirely forgiven, either...

Both guilty of various imperialistic, colonial, outright enslavement sins...

And both equally guilty for... Canada

But to conclude on the SONG...

This was all about the SONG - after all!

Voulzy's tune is timeless - and firmly anchored in 1985, all at once.

It evokes and embodies, for me, perfectly well a certain period of my life where I would do just like the lyrics say...

''J'dépense mon énergie à oublier la nuit''

:-)

''J'passe mon temps sur cette machine ... pour oublier la nuit''

:-)

''Take it easy...
Take it easy''
