For French Music... i cant forget the taste of "Noir Desir"
especially Le Vent Nous Portera..

well dunno if the story is true the solist of the band is in prison becoz he has killed his wife.. for a reason his love to her finished and he didnt want sb else to love his wife and then he shooted her.. what a passion eh?

French music.. Chansonsss. French are really very good at melancolic, romantic songs.

"Avec le temps" is really a nice song as you found out.

There are a lot to discover, but these days I listen to

-"Amour Perdu" (Lost Love) and "Si l'amour existe encour" (If love still exists) of Salvatore Adamo.

- "Je l'aime a mourir" and "Je t'aimais, je t'aime et je t'aimerais" (I loved, I love and I'll love) from Francis Cabrel.

- "Elle est d'ailleurs" from Pierre Bachelet.

- And you can try Isabelle Boulay. She has a nice voice.
