Siniša Petrić - What a Mess album review
What a Mess by Siniša Petrić showcased some of the best songwriting and instrumentation from Croatian musician Siniša Petrić. The songs on this album are result of artists collaboration at www.kompoz.com. The album has that grittiness you would hear in delta blues music. Blues music meets country music on this album thus creating the fusion of country blues. A majority of these songs on this album are love songs. So be prepared.
An Old Fashioned Texas Boogie was a Texas swing country song written by Joel Sattler that was sung by Siniša Petrić. Both Joel Sattler and Siniša Petrić were inspired by the sounds of Texas swing when composing this song. Siniša sings about how he is for some goody goody and an old fashioned Texas boogie.
Siniša came up to Austin from San Antone (San Antonio) because he was so sick and tired of being all alone. He heard the girls at Stubbs BBQ would really treat you swell and at the Continental Club just as well. He’s looking for some goody goody and an old fashioned Texas boogie. Everyone in Austin wants to be a star. The waitresses hide their guitars under the bar, ready to get up. and sing their favorite song. The music on the street is playing all night long. Austin floats about a mile above the rest of the state. Every person can find their woogie with a syncopated Texas boogie. Siniša has been to towns such as Waco and Houston. He came from Louisiana. The Delta down there was so stinking hot.
Woman of Steel is a song that explains Siniša Petrić’s woman is a blacksmith who works in a forge. She can curl hot iron rod like a straw. She swings a nine pound hammer (9 lbs) and it's not heavy for her size. The song was a dedication to steelworker women who are determined and committed to their jobs in the steel mills.
Siniša Petrić’s woman is a blacksmith who works in a forge. She can curl hot iron rod like a straw. She swings a nine pound hammer (9 lbs) and it's not heavy for her size. She hardens the steel and softens his heart. No one can split them apart. He adores when she opens the door and yells, "Honey I'm home." He loves that woman of steel.
She has dark curly hair and eyes that shine. Long legs, broad shoulders, and a mighty strong back. When she holds Siniša in her arms, he feels just like a child.
Sometimes she's so tired she only wants to rest. So Siniša sneaks out and goes to the local bar where he hangs out with boys and drinks beer. He can do what he wants until the cell phone rings and the voice says, "Sweetie, it's me. Now bring your ass back home."

Big Mello - Bar None/ Fade All album review
The album Big Mello - Bar None/ Fade All was one of the many albums that was supposed to have been released by Commerce Street Records in 1999 along with King 13 - Time Served and Lil Paul - T-Gang. Big Mello’s unreleased 1999 album was one of the many incomplete albums the label had put on their advertisements.
The album Big Mello - Bar None/ Fade All was originally advertised in an advertisement in the Source Magazine around February 1999. The advertisement in the Source Magazine was designed by Pen N Pixel Graphics. Sean was using Pen N Pixel Graphics to design covers for albums released on his record label Commerce Street Records. Now the album Big Mello - Bar None/ Fade All was supposed to be released sometime in May 1999. However that not happen because that album was not released.
Big Mello had only recorded an EP’s worth of material as he only had 4 songs recorded for that album. Sean Tompkins was only interested in selling full length albums on his record label Commerce Street Records. So Sean cancelled the released of his 1999 album because he considered that only enough music to do an EP.
A couple of the 4 songs Big Mello had recorded were Bar None/ Fade All and Get Crunk with Mr. Joshay. Harvey Luv produced and recorded a track that Big Mello got on and DDC (Down Dirty Click) was supposed to lay vocals on. That makes sense because Harvey Luv was Big Mello’s main producer at the time along with 2-Fancy.
That album Big Mello - Bar None/ Fade All was incomplete by the time the scheduled release date came around. Sean confirmed the album wasn’t even halfway done. The recorded material he has is hollow. The mix was bad on the songs he had recorded and the vocals needed more tracks. The vocals were bad. But he was dropping versus. His album could have been fixed and rearranged with a good balanced mix and more vocals were laid down on the tracks.
Big Mello finished other tracks which Sean still has. But those songs were not recorded for the Bar None/ Fade All album. Those were entirely different songs. Those songs won’t ever be released.
Sean Tompkins didn’t have a recording contract secured for Big Mello at the time since Big Mello was a free agent which basically meant he could record and release music independently if he wanted to.
However one of the reasons why the Big Mello - Bar None/ Fade All album never got completed or released is because Big Mello had a drug problem. He was on that “wet” and fry. He had no direction or work ethic for a while which made business between him and the label difficult.
That’s what happened with the Big Mello album that was supposed to be released in 1999.

The Sparrows of Paris - Javas album review
The Sparrows of Paris bring you the authentic jazz-musette and vintage French songs from the beginning of the 20th century as well as new songs written in a similar vintage style which relate the lives of French expats in the United Kingdom on their album Javas. This is some authentic musette gipsy jazz swing.
La java de Cézigue (The java of Cézigue) is a gypsy jazz song sung in jazz manouche form. The song is about a strange little guy named Cézigue who has with chubby cheeks like an apple and plays the accordion in the evening at a bougnat in the rue d'Charenton, a historic street in the 12th arrondissement of Paris, France. He displays strange, bizarre, and abnormal behaviors.
Cézigue is a little guy with chubby cheeks like an apple who plays the accordion in the evening at a bougnat in the rue d'Charenton, a historic street in the 12th arrondissement of Paris, France. You have to see him with his cap, plate breaker, and his little butt end which causes him to constantly flash tiles.
It's funny. Usually the music he plays and performs makes people want to sleep and it makes people neurasthenic. Cèzigue draws sounds from his accordion that scares the shivers when Cézigue made a touch.
Cézigue disguises himself as a boss'ler machine when an ordinary gentleman correct a' dam' because he has the nerves annoyed. But five minutes later, everything is classified. Suddenly becomes the branch of the sky. And then afterwards, the crush subsides. He has a bank account and a 'bath petit' crib at the edge of the water.
Brexzut! is about a group of French expats called The Sparrows of Paris living in the United Kingdom. The song was written in a similar vintage style which relate the lives of French expats in the United Kingdom. This is some authentic musette gipsy jazz swing. The Sparrows of Paris bring you the authentic jazz-musette and vintage French songs from the beginning of the 20th century as well.
The Sparrows of Paris vent about their frustrations over the United Kingdom leaving the European Union. Brexit was the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union which occurred on the date of January 31, 2020.
A group of French expats called The Sparrows of Paris left for the United Kingdom. A rainy country with a green pleasant landscape. The Sparrows of Paris exchanged the Marseilles for a happier air. They got comfortable fog in the eyes. They adapted to the native language which was the official language.
The Sparrows of Paris were Europeans united against war. Europeans are stronger united. But everyone is in doubt over how the English wanted out of the European Union. The UK leaves Europe a dream. Suddenly they found each other in a foreign country. Strange and aimless because they voted Brex-damn! Strange and aimless because they voted Brexzut! (Strange and aimless because they voted Brexit!) They don't want Europe. No. Taxes are expensive.
Boom! Their repatriated lives gone up in smoke. A whole identity that needs to be rebuilt. But they don't want to forget the lessons of the past.
Chez Raymond (At Raymond's) is about a group of French expats living in the United Kingdom called The Sparrows of Paris who meet up at a tavern called Raymond's in Paris, France every Thursday.
Every Thursday a group of French expats living in the United Kingdom called The Sparrows of Paris meet up at a tavern called Raymond's. The cook serves them a gueuleton and they drink gorgeon. Every Thursday they prepare for the good life towards every weekend. They forget the fog and the worries. It's Paris.
They’re in London all week for work with fish and chips. The Sparrows of Paris dream of garlic butter and snails. It's that they miss the mussels with the fries which is a part of the French delicacy and cuisine. They eat the beans on the bread and crusted kidneys. Neon green English-style mushy weights. Grilled Camemberts stuffed with strawberries.
When night comes, there are the Sparrows of Pariswho push the song. Julot guinche la java with Nini and Gaston dreams of being in Ginette's arms. They are here to eat like kings. It's Raymond who cooks as in life he has a happy hand.

Reecy Pontiff - Mississippi Mountain Mud album review
Mississippi Mountain Mud by Reecy Pontiff is a Vaudeville sounding Americana folk album with that retro Americana style, flair, and flavor. That is not surprising since Reecy Pontiff is a singer/songwriter who is known for specializing in Southern-fried vaudeville and Americana folk music. One could call these tunes morally questionable.
Leaver told the story of how Reecy was fixing to ravel up her own ball of yarn when a gentleman came along and caught her eye. She instantly feel in love with him. It's the same old love story. Leaver also explains how every person loves another person that makes them want to leave their hometown and be their lover. Everyone loves a leaver. Just tell them you're getting out of town.
This gentleman caught Reecy’s eye like a hundred before him. She was mesmerized by his persona. Then she said she was leaving. She planned to catch a train next week. He perked up and they couldn't get enough. Reecy loved losing this winning streak.
When Reecy got down to New Orleans, suddenly she had a fresh start in a country full of untied threads. She was fixing to ravel up her own ball of yarn when he came along and gave her pause. Now they’re all tangled up in each other's arms. And she wonders if it's just because. Now they're so hot and heavy as they together almost every day. He is like the whip cream and the cherry. And Reecy thinking that she might just stay. But she is afraid of telling him their love might just deflate. He’ll find out that her full allure was her expiration date.
Her conceptual wordplay and entendres in her lyrics are cleverly remarkable.
When I got down to New Orleans
Suddenly I had a fresh start
A country full of untied threads
And a seamstress I am not
I was fixing to ravel up my own ball of yarn
When you came along and gave me pause
Now we're all tangled up in each other's arms
And I wonder if it's just because...
Rocky Mountain Flirt is about how people love in the state of Colorado. The song also explains how Reecy finds loves in her home state of Colorado.
Reecy has got red rock dust in her pantalettes and fool's gold in her skirt. Sometimes it takes silver in your flannel blouse to be a Rocky Mountain flirt. Sometimes it take a lump of granite in your flannel blouse to be a Rocky Mountain flirt. When you're digging deep into that mining shaft searching for pay-dirt. Perhaps you'll strike it rich and find upon your arm a charming Rocky Mountain Flirt.
Folks are gasping for air in this mountain town at the foot of old Zeb's peak. Their hearts are a-flutter as they swoon and stutter. Is it the altitude or her? If your mind is spinning around and around like a Conestoga wagon wheel, perhaps you over greased the axels. Surely you know the facts are application with too much zeal. If your heart is colder than that old north face, well you might just pass Reecy Pontiff by. But since her hidden gems could cause an early melt, she’ll probably catch your eye.
Gypsy vs Mountain Man told the story of how a gyspy girl fell in love with a mountain man only to find out he was stubborn. Reecy plays the role of the free-spirited gypsy. Gyspy jazz meets Americana folk and Vaudeville.
Reecy came to Montana to watch mountain men climb swing set poles and to finish up that novel while she filled in all those gaping plot holes. Though life on the homestead had been mostly nice. Botching her first pot of Rocky Mountain red beans and rice in that velvet-covered bear trap Mountain Man had caught her wandering soul.
Narcissus is staring into a frosty pool. It’s Gypsy versus Mountain Man now who would play the fool. He says that he needs no one but can't stand to be alone. It's his way or the highway. But the highway is her home. So she went back to her home. He demands evolution but always stay the same.
Though it seemed nigh impossible to dampen our eternal flame. It didn't bother him. It bothered her when or where he came. The damage has been done now. Will Reecy get over this before she gets over him? She don't know how it happened. Were they too different to be apart? Is against all odds just an incomplete doomed from the start? He’s got his little piece of heaven while the rest of the world is hers.
The Cat Came Back told the story of a cat which Mr. Johnson could not keep.
Well old Mr. Johnson had a cat he couldn't keep. So he put it up for sale for a price he thought was cheap. He took his cat to a neighbor's house to ask him for advice. He said, “Leave the kitty here. She can help me with the mice.” But the cat came back the very next day. He thought she was a goner. She just wouldn't stay away.
So old Mr. Johnson had his own problems. This little yellow cat that wouldn't leave his homestead. He tried and he tried to keep that cat away. But the cat had come back to stay.
Mr. Johnson found a man who was driving way out west. He would take the cat along as his special, honored guest. The steering wheel was wobbly which is why he drove into a tree. The car was just a total wreck.
The farmer on the corner said he'd shoot that cat on sight. So he loaded up his gun with nails and dynamite. He hid in the garden until that cat came around. 97 pieces of that man were all they ever found.
Mr. Johnson bought a rig from the human cannonball. He would put the cat inside with trinitroglycerol. And when he pulled the trigger, the cannon gave a roar. The neighbors all surrendered because they thought there was a war occurring.
There's plenty out there to bring us humans to our knees. Aliens or plague or rampaging zombies. It may bring hope or it may cause despair to think that if we disappeared somewhere out there.

Texas Moaners - Treat it Gently album review
Treat it Gently by Texas Moaners showcases four dear friends sharing a great love appreciation for jazz music. The album captures that rich spirit and tradition of jazz music. Think early jazz from the beginning of the 20th century around the 1910s-1920s. Their music is generation less and can bring audiences of all ages around.
Short Hop started as a study in writing a new piece that sounded nice and old. Short Hop was inspired by the jazz tune Muskrat Ramble. The song sounds nice due to the light melodies. There are a few harmonic “goodies” underneath.
Winter in my Bones was written in the early spring of 2021 when people were still mostly isolated up in their homes due to the Corona virus epidemic. Filled with longing for unfettered human connection and exhausted from living with uncertainty and the weight of so much turmoil in the world. It’s meant to be an exploration of bittersweetness and a search for balance in processing so many heavy things. To remember that the sun will rise tomorrow and it will set on today. Or as my Grandma used to say, “This will be got over.”
Dove Springs Bungalow is certainly intended as an homage to Sidney Bechet, and was inspired by his tune, “Georgia Cabin.” Since we live in a little house in the “Dove Springs” area of Austin, this seemed a fitting title. The hope with this piece was to capture a bit of the flavor of Bechet’s compositional style, as well as the breadth and depth of moods he would bring to his performances — a little relaxed effervescence in the “A” sections, then touching on grit, passion, and complexity in the bridge. And of course, a yodel that nods to our country and Western swing influences.

Yellow Spots - Belezős Balladák album review
Belezős Balladák by Yellow Spots is an absurd sounding psychobilly punk rock album with a mature mixture of neo-swing jazz. The album has a horrifying sense of horror too. Who would have thought Hungarian jazz could have such a unique musical twist? This rock-jazz band from Budapest, Hungary is known for using elements of horror in their music.
Házassági évforduló (Wedding anniversary) told the morbid disturbing wedding anniversaries of 3 men who are Antal, Áron, and Elemér. The band gave color to the poetic wedding anniversaries of the 3 men.
Antal loved his wife. But he roared when he cut off her head, he held the stump swimming in blood by the hair. After cutting through the wall, he removed the plaster. The vertebrae also cracked under the teeth of the saw. The pharynx was visible from the battered neck. Not to mention the torn veins. What hung from the brown picture frame on the wall. The severed head looks at him in a convulsive daze. Before he was blown apart by a kick. The severed head of the woman spoke this sentence,"I always knew you were aggressive, Antal!"
Áron loved his wife very much, For this reason, he beat her to death with an ax. And to give a bad color to the poetic evening, the woman's eyes popped out. Then came the chainsaw magic. The soot-smelling garage was filled with guts. The tool threw sparks as it reached the spine. "Trash, smelly bitch, where's my lunch?" Her shoes were eaten away by stomach acid like a chemical. All love ends once.
Elemér really loved his partner. He threw a spear into his loving partner with a loving heart. Then she just looked at him laughing out loud. What does the woman look like nailed to the armchair? He always liked sadistic sex. He got a few pieces of crackers in front of him. But now he screamed and kicked the woman. In the meantime, he scraped his ankles in agony. Elemér made such sounds. He put something from his slit in his mouth. "Enjoy it, you ringyó! Enjoy it big!"
Szomorú kis Hilda (Sad little Hilda) is about a fat girl who continued to gain weight despite already having gone through liposuction. Little Hilda is sad because she was trapped in the room and can't even move.
Hilda was a skinny little girl. She was born weighing only three kilos (3 kg). And as the years passed, it got bigger every day. Little Hilda is sad. Fat all night. And she can't even move. The fat pad continued to gain weight. She didn't even stop for four steps. She had already gone through liposuction. None of the methods of reducing weight worked for her. Little Hilda is sad because she was trapped in the room and can't even move. So she is stuck in the crib.
It's time for a pig slaughter day. She has tripled in size. Her father is at the gate. He was waiting for her with a pocketknife. Meat beating on a rusty hook. A bucket full of blood. A mutilated human corpse lying on the garage floor. Little Hilda is sad because it was ground into sausage.
Feri, a szadista (Feri, the sadist) is about a sadistic man named Feri. The song explained how Feri became such a sadist.
Feri was a very eminent child. He studied well at school.He had no rival who had caught up with him in learning. That was until once he hit the 7th grade. That is when he changed a lot. When the class peeled a goat frog with a bio saw.
He picked up a larger specimen and cut it to the floor. He pushed out his red guts with his caterpillar boots. The teacher's eyes suddenly bulged because Ferike pushed a dagger to the bone. The teacher shouted, “Feri, you sadist! You eminent sadist!” As the class held their stomachs, he laughed. Feri has already killed a rat behind the teacher's chair. The blood flowed for a long time when the director burst in. Ahe immediately kicked this perverted bad bone out.
Feri is now killing on the street. Hanging snakes and frogs. He sets fire to a nest, dissects a cat, and glues a lizard to rails. He may have killed all the dogs in the neighborhood. There are unsolved math problems on his desk.
Vérfertőzés Texas szélén (Blood infection on the edge of Texas) is another one of their morbid disturbing songs on their album. It's always a sweaty day on the edge of Texas.

Julian Gaskell & his Ragged Trousered Philanthropists - Mizzle-Eyed Maiden of the West EP EP review
Mizzle-Eyed Maiden of the West EP by Julian Gaskell & his Ragged Trousered Philanthropists is another collection of tunes by your favourite philanthropists with a touch of klezmer and skiffle over gypsy jazz. Just think gypsy jazz song with folk music style storytelling. Mizzle-Eyed Maiden of the West is Westernized gypsy jazz with folk music style storytelling. This is of the more ghostly and haunting gypsy jazz EPs.

Body Count - Murder 4 Hire album review
Murder 4 Hire by Body Count is one of the lesser known metal albums that could have and should have been a successful hit on the Rock Charts. There are no real low points inside the album as the band stays consistent and on point with subject matter and lyrics even if the material is rehashed subject matter. A small minority of their fans called the album mediocre because of that. Dirty Bombs deals with terrorism and Islamophobia. The End Game deals with imperialism, racism, and politics.

Vivacity - Smiling album review
Vivacity - Smiling is one of the lesser known American swing jazz albums where vocalist and songstress Heather Thorn sings with such high energy and versatility. The album captures that rich spirit and tradition of jazz music. Think early jazz from the beginning of the 20th century around the 1910s-1920s. This is some authentic swing jazz. Take the beautiful miraculous xylophone transcription by Bill Cahn called Fluffy Ruffles. Bewitched explained how Heather was captured by a man’s charm and fell in love with him as she had felt this bewitched feeling even if men are not a new sensation for her.

Emily Asher's Garden Party - If I Were a Window album review
Emily Asher's Garden Party - If I Were a Window uses a lovely combination of New Orleans swing and Latin jazz in one recording. This album captures a moment of women in jazz. A majority of these songs are love songs. The album captures that rich spirit and tradition of jazz music from the beginning of the 20th century.
Tea for Two is about Emily Asher wanting to have tea for two with her man that is her lover. The song is a lovely cover of the jazz classic Tea for Two.
Emily is discontented with homes that are rented. So she has invented her own place that is a lover’s oasis. Where life’s weary chase is unknown. Far from the cry of the city. Where flowers pretty caress the streams. Cozy to hide in. To live side by side in. She pictures herself having tea for two with her man that is her lover. No friends or relations on weekend vacations
Pharaoh's Bride explained the story of Emily being unaware of the splendors of the pharaoh with golden rings. A bit of Egyptian mythology is used.
Emily was a girl unaware of the splendors of the pharaoh with golden rings. His men searched for contenders all around her town. They’d bring him three wives. Held by his gates torn from her family. Body draped in silver and gilded collar plates. She’d sell this jewelry. Such fine and precious things. Trade them for her childhood cloak despite the comfort that it brings.
Emily can feel the shimmer of the alabaster wings. Soaring over the Red Sea and the Valley of the Kings. She can feel the power in this red carnelian stone. Emily wants to be taken back to when she lived a simple life at home.
Small Fry is about an egotistical boy that is a brat who thinks he’s all that as he has been carousing at the burlesque but Emily Asher puts him in his place because he ain't grown. The boy constantly stays in trouble and is a truant.
Here comes that good-for-nothing brat of a boy. He's been carousing at the burlesque. He's such a devil. Emily could whip him with joy. Just watch Emily teach him with the sole of her shoe! Look at that small fry struttin' by the pool room. He should be in school receiving his education. He ain't grown up high and mighty yet. He ain't the biggest catfish in the sea.
He practices peckin' all day long to some old radio song for a penny. He better listen to has ma and someday practice the law. And then he’ll be a real success. Small fry kissed the neighbor's daughter. Small fry stays in shallow water. Seems that Emily should take him across her knee.
There Ain't No Sweet Man (That's Worth the Salt of My Tears) explains Emily coming to the realization that there is no man worth crying over for. There ain't no sweet man that's worth the salt of her tears. He dragged Emily down for years and years. She is coming loose from her man after all those years of him dragging her down.

Les Filles du Roy - Terre en vue album review
Terre en vue by Les Filles du Roy is a beautiful French Canadian traditional folk album. This is viking style folk music here. The album is filled with enchanted enchanting sea shanties that sound as if they told from centuries ago. Sylvain Rivière came up with the splendid concept and lyrics for Morpionnimousse. Vincent Lavoie and Anthony Collin-Bilodeau sang those beautiful additional vocals on the entire album.
Le Rouge-gorge is a folk styled love song about a little robin who misses his lover that is a black-capped chickadee.
It was a smart little robin at the top of a tree. The little robin needed to leave for Saint-Anne before spring. A little robin misses his lover that is a black-capped chickadee. He hopes that still may please his lover.
The impatient little robin flies to his dearest because she is much more charming than the ladies of the desert. When the little robin was in Gaspésie under the strong winter winds looking for his love up to the mountain of pain and misery. His morale is down after a week of intense cold weather.
There he goes there to die at the top of Mont-Albert. It's a little dying robin at the top of a tree. He presents himself the great owl to come and get his soul. The black-capped chickadee went to the desert with the big black raven
La fille du commerçant (The shopkeeper's daughter) is a song told the story of a shopkeeper's daughter of a clothing merchant who raped by a violent man. The songs ends with a tragic ending.
Honestly the song should have been titled “The Beauty Who Disappeared” due to the violent tragic ending that took place at the end of the song. That would have been a more appropriate title to chose for the song title. Tragic but disambiguous.
This lady was the shopkeeper's daughter from the clothing merchant. She was always well dressed. She was envied by the girls of the village. Her elegance and beauty didn't just attract the wise.
One day she was passing through the fields to go join her lover. She met someone looking rather inconvenient. As for the person she shopkeeper's daughter met, he was a tall and violent man with dishonest ideas in mind. He grabbed her by her clothes tearing them apart in an instant. Since that day no one has seen the beauty who disappeared.
Morpionnimousse is an original French folk sea shanty written by Sylvain Rivière. Sylvain Rivière came up with the splendid concept and lyrics for Morpionnimousse. The song uses heavy dosages of Canada based culture which is why you hear Canadian cities mentioned. Vincent Lavoie and Anthony Collin-Bilodeau sang those beautiful additional vocals on the song.

Sophie Kay - Old-Orléans album review
Old-Orléans by Sophie Kay is a French swing jazz album performed in a jazz manouche style of gypsy jazz filtered with chanson pop tunes and a mixture of classic blues. Jazz meets blues and pop on this album. Her 2019 album has a balance of is love songs, slice of life, and holiday songs. The album is not too rough edged and is rather settling.
J’ai chaud (I am hot) is a sensational jazz song with a dash of chanson pop and guitar-fueled energy. Sophie sings about why she is hot during the song. Sophie is hot. It's crazy how hot she is. She will leave the coat and the hat off because those articles of clothing burns her to do like Mr. Pop and The King of Rock. Very soon she will leave the top.
Tu peux m'oublier (You can forget me) is a sad mournful heartbreaking breakup ballad Sophie wrote telling her ex-lover that he can forget about her because she can't love him anymore. The song follows a slow blues tempo and a harmonica over classic jazz vocals.
Spring is gone. Sophie tells her ex-lover that he can forget about her because she can't love him anymore. Her heart is infiltrated with poison since he treated her poorly. Yet she loved him so much. The beautiful ingenue is no more. But she needs to forget about him. He wanted himself a devoted woman. Happy geisha and Cinderella on the floor. Sophie calls herself an “Irresistible Enlightened Mistress”.
The man Sophie was dating put a spell on her. But this just can't be. The way he treated her will come back one day since he treated Sophie poorly. Her ex-lover will reap what he sows as the old says goes, “You just reap what you sow.” The blues will take him real low. He always wanted Sophie to be glamorous and flawless on walking like Dorothy Lamour.
C’est Noël (It's Christmas) is the holiday song on the album which revolves around the holiday of Christmas. Sophie sings about how she lives the good life on Christmas. While Sophie sleeps, gold is falling at her feet. And when her alarm clock rings, her accounts have all doubled. Exactly like Johnny. In short, she lives the good life on Christmas. Sophie calls her friends Arielle and Carla because all these ladies live exactly in the same world as her. Sophie get thousands of responses whenever she puts outs ads and makes phone calls to her friends.
Sophie drowns her sorrows out in the form of singing on La dèche (Down and Out). She sings about why she is down and out in a state of wallowing depression.
Sophie is broke and burnt out. She was oak and is now a reed. She sold all her jewels because she was broke. What is Sophie going to do now? Sophie feels/felt the weight of time weighing on her. Tomorrow nothing won't be hers. Her friends closed their door on her and blocked her out of their lives as if she died. Everyone has gotten the hell out of her life. Understand her pain of living. The bane of her miserable existence. Everything is screwed up. Her love has closed the door. Sophie died to him.
Attention à toi (Care of yourself) is a jazz song which serves as a reminder to people to take care of themselves and each other.
Mon homme (ne m’aime pas) [My man (don't love me)] is a sad mournful heartbreaking breakup ballad that explains bluntly why the man Sophie is dating doesn’t love her. He shows himself in public with lots of girls that are immodest chicks. In other words, he is in love with other women.
Sophie’s man doesn't love her. Is she a dead star in a bouquet of camellias? A shadow puppet over there in the blur? Or just the shadow of a frou frou? She tells him every day darling how much she adores him. Even when he falls into her arms half drunk.
Is Sophie his muse in his 20 carat world? Is he a genius in a flash of whiskey or just a guy bruised by life? She often tells him there's something wrong when he arrives at her house without a penny left in her pocket.
He told Sophie that love will make them much stronger. But that was just an outright blatant lie. He shows himself in public with lots of girls that are immodest chicks. In other words, he is in love with other women. He burned her in a a time of discomfort.
La fièvre acheteuse (Buyer fever) is a slice of song that deals with impulse buying which is buying unneeded and unnecessary things on the spot when shopping. That is why she was spending all her money.
What's happening to Sophie today? She hopes she hasn't caught buyer's fever. You know that buyer's fever which leads to impulse buying and spending all your money. It’s madness. She feel the buyer's fever rising in her. She is talking nonsense.
Sophie spends money on frivolous things. She eats ice cream in cups, She goes to the hairdresser to get her hair done. Then she goes to try on adornments for hours. She write checks pretending to know that her tomorrows will be doubtful. Everything seems tasty as she walks around. Sophie believes that she will fall. Getting dizzy in front of all this variety.
J'ai choisi différent (I chose different) explained how Sophie Kay could have all the different choices in life to marry different men and could have choose different careers for an occupation. But Sophie chose different because she had other feelings. No matter what the good people say. This is the empowerment song of the album that is uplifting.
Sophie could have married Dominique or Eric. Both of them were full of money and wealth. One was a dentist. The other an engineer who woke up early every day. She could have married a diamond dealer who would have walked her to the four corners of the earth. But Sophie chose different because she had other feelings.
Sophie could have married a doctor a lawyer, or a magistrate. If she had wanted to listen to what her father said or all the little guys all around her. Truth be told, we don't do what we want in life. Dreams are just for those who can pay the price.
She would certainly have had accounts in Switzerland. Not knowing what to do all that money she had stored in those Swiss bank accounts. She could have lots of useless stuff to kill time. Sophie already had three facelifts at age 50.
Sophie career as a secretary. She would have at least known why she is on this earth in front of her keyboard. She would have kept her dreams for another life. That way she would have been someone. But Sophie chose different because she had other feelings. It's her life. It's important.
These are the most memorable lyrics with educational value behind them which reminds us we can’t always have what we want in life and that dreams are for those who are fortunate enough to afford them.
On ne fait pas ce qu ‘on veut dans la vie
Les rêves sont juste pour ceux
Qui peuvent en payer le prix
We don't do what we want in life
Dreams are just for those
Who can pay the price
Sophie sings and tells everyone how she wants to live like a queen with her son On m’appelle Madame (They call me Madam).
They call Sophie Kay “Madam”. She loves the hollow of her cheeks that time has sculpted. That straight look on her face. Sophie is not like all these chicks who are not at the level of a mademoiselle.
Sophie wants to live the queen of Saaba. She wants to live in a palace surrounded by a thousand roses in a castle on the side of the hills in Bordeaux, France. And to perfume her prose. When you are a mademoiselle, you have to be zealous about it. She is always in a good mood. Take her to drink champagne on top of the mountain under a gentle warmth.
Even though time has passed, her heart remains unchanged. Do not look at Sophie Kay like that. You can't do anything against Sophie Kay anymore.
Tu aurais pu faire mieux (You could have done better) is a song which explained how Sophie’s ex-lover could have done better. Sophie is leaving her lover because he does not know how to treat her. Tu aurais pu faire mieux (You could have done better) revisits Tu peux m'oublier (You can forget me) and picks up where Tu peux m'oublier (You can forget me) left off.
Sophie’s ex-lover had money to not know what to do with it. He could have done better. As for Sophie, she is leaving him. He should have thought before. He had all the time. He doesn't care about his regrets. We can't predict everything.
The song Zoltan is about a man named Zoltan who gets captured by Nazis in Paris, France and gets sent away on a train to never see his family. The song Zoltan takes place in Paris, France during World War II in 1943.
It was 1943. Zoltan disappeared that day in July while all of Paris was lying at the feet of crazies in iron boots known as Nazis. These Nazis were brutes with hands cold as steel. Adele looked for Zoltan for days but he never came back. And every night with his son, Imre, they mourn their dear lost love. The Nazis took him on a train. He would never return home again.
You couldn't say the wagons were spacious. Service could have been better. When they arrived there was music playing in the distance. A dance tune with a chorus. In the distance clouds of smoke. The Nazis took him to north of Hungary. But he won’t be there long. He decides to cut the barbed wire. But sadly he gets eaten by a wolf in a forest. Shame fell on the family. They acted as if he had never lived. Thousands of forgotten men were still waiting for redemption. Just forgiveness of the condemned who will never come back.
5/5*****!!
