Music on My Mind

Francis Cabrel, "Je t'aimais, je t'aime, je t'aimerai". I'm not in general a fan of songs in French, which has always been anemic and is increasingly inbred, and has a smarmy smile on top of that; but when it turns just the right way, as here, and lets itself be simple and heartfelt, it can still be splendid, recalling something of the spirit of ancient troubadors that still haunts its vowels and glides.
