Titles: Play me the gramophone - / - Take time to sing
I took the 45 laps in the pouch Lettrist since the combination of two songs titles, Play me the gramophone and Take time to sing aroused some hope in me. Side A would perhaps contain references to records of the fifties or sixties. Or better, it might be an ode to the visionary turntablism, an anticipation of hip hop .
The combination of the two titles could even imagine letting a concept 45s, a diptych on sound and music with fun competing with Give me the microphone of AMI.
Listening to the disc, the return the reality was brutal. This 45 laps from the album of the same title of a Charles Trenet already very far from his best time but still far from retirement, even if he would take his first farewell on stage three years later, is very disappointing.
For side A, if Trenet wonder that he plays the gramophone, not to listen to records but relatively new to hear the tunes of his twenty years with him. It is therefore entitled to a march reminiscent of military music, marching bands and Christmas parades, with a chorus rather enigmatic " Nothing is mine, all belongs to them, to them, to them, them, them. , which may contain a literary reference or musical that I did not before.
Take time to sing waltz starts with violins typical of the orchestrator of the disc, Caravelli . Trenet there is his singing crazy optimist, but without any real energy or cheerfulness: " Take time to sing, laugh, enjoy yourself. Everyone knows that after all life is pretty often when one takes the correct side. "
Ultimately, we have a variety of disk-style firefighter, claimed the French variety, in sound and words with references to France with a capital F on both sides ("From the air pure gays and charming, Musics that say we're in France, and now as before. " and " Everybody knows after all, in France we have the chance to tell the truth. ). The disk of a singer poet already out of breath, perfectly in the mold of TV shows of the 70s in which Trenet had occasion to interpret in playback most of the time, including two After two months apart in spring 1972 in South Thirty , issuing Danièle Gilbert, whose after which the broadcast was co-hosted by Dalida, which perfectly suits the spirit of the disc. We can play the turntable and let it Trenet singing there. It simply is not obliged to listen.
