La Chanson De Presley
Pierre Bachelet · 3 Cd Box Set [2003]
Ferme tes paupières, bon anniversaire
Que l'amour te rende toujours si belle, toujours si tendre
As-tu souvenance d'un jour en Provence
Où quelqu'un chantait la chanson de Presley ?
C'était comme aujourd'hui, un matin de septembre
On s'était promis de vivre ensemble
Et au bout de la rue, comme un porte-bonheur
On avait entendu "Love me tender"
Chaque jour est passé comme un battement de cils
Ça n'a pas toujours été facile
Bon anniversaire, n'oublions jamais
La chanson de Presley
Mais que passent les ans et les anniversaires
Toujours en chantant "Love me tender".
About La Chanson De Presley
Pierre Bachelet's "La Chanson De Presley" stands as a poignant tribute within the French pop tradition, channeling the enduring legacy of Elvis Presley through a distinctively French lens. Recorded for his 2003 three-CD box set, this track exemplifies Bachelet's ability to blend nostalgic homage with his own signature vocal style, characteristic of the late 1970s and 1980s era where he became a prominent figure in French music. The song reflects a broader cultural fascination with American rock and roll icons, reimagined by Bachelet for a Francophone audience. It serves as a testament to his skill in interpreting classic themes while maintaining artistic integrity, contributing to a discography that includes notable works such as "Un Homme Simple" and "Les Lolas." The recording captures a specific moment in musical history where cross-cultural influences shaped the sound of French pop, offering listeners a bridge between generations and styles without relying on direct imitation.
