blonde -- guesch patti

Well, even though I'm not really in favor of posting youtube clips (who knows how long they'll be around???) you'd never know it from my actions. So here goes another one. Since I just posted a tune found in Greenaway's 1996 film The Pillow Book here's another: a French pop tune called Blonde by Guesch Patti.



I can't heap enough praise upon this tune. The music is dark and spacious, and the singing is a great counterbalance to it in terms of weight. And check out the F#7+5 chord at 0:56 (it repeats, too)! (BTW a G7+5 is a great chord in the turnaround in Stolen Moments.) For those of you who speak French you might not need it, but the scrolling text is helpful (it ties into the theme of the film, too). Oh, the clip is absolutely not a G-rated affair, so be forewarned.
