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 am translating the entire body of music of the late, great French singer Alain Bashung and his collaborators. I'm on album #11! This song was the first real hit that Bashung and lyriicist Boris Bergman had together. I had a lot of fun making it singable in English. Hope you enjoy it.
