Artist picture
A mix of music, poetry, chanson, bhajan, and a wee bit of madness, with Laura Tattoo at the keyboard (typing) and Ron Walker on instruments of every shape, size
. Laura is also the melodymaker of the team. Musical arrangements and instrumentation by Ron "Magic Fingers" Walker, also known to early fans as "Dr. Wong"... he'll swing you into the sunset with his incredible left-hand bass and beautiful chords. We are featuring some of Ron's instrumental music on Soundclick. Ron wrote music for film and video for many years, and you can really hear that influence in his songs. We're experimenting together and solo. Come fly with us, bebe!

Story behind the song
I've been translating the œuvre of Alain Bashung (1947-2009) from French to English. Several people have been enquiring about singable versions of the songs. I plan to do several of these after an intial translation of the entire body of work. (I'm 7+ albums on, with 5 to go.) This is my first attempt at creating a singable translation. Hope you like it! You might also check Bashung's cool video of the song at Universal Music: http://www.universalmusic.fr/alain-bashung/video-clip/alain-bashung-LArriv%C3%A9e-Du-Tour/
