Jacques Brel - Une île
"an island
An island off the coast of hope
Where men would not be afraid
And soft and calm like your mirror"

Following the death of Charlie Watts, here's a French cover of 'Paint it Black' by Marie Laforet for a sunny French Wednesday. Always loved Charlie's drums on the original.
