Recul
Last March, I won a songwriting competition in St-Boniface called Musiklips, run by CKSB in partnership with Radio-Canada in the West. The prize was a studio recording of my submitted song as well as a video. My good friend Benoit Morier produced the track and I came up with the donkey concept for the video. The video was shot in Winnipeg in October 2008 and stars a very, very cute and friendly donkey named Maggie. Enjoy!

word veri: vaticain
Apparently the pope approves too.
:)
I wish I knew what they lyrics were. Is there anyway you could post them so I can feed it into google translator?
Best post on this blog I say.
It's not a contest C-dog...or is it?
;)
word verification: pineyin
I'm pineyin for you, let's do breakfast on friday.
Yes, I'd have to agree with Carlos. I prefer it when we post things that we've made/or really contributed to. I'm even liking the self-promotion stuff...way more than random youtube videos anyways...
ps. cd release(which features Andrina Turenne on back up vocals) for the minglers tonight at the park theatre...be there!
Sounds and looks tres fabulous AT, love the donkey!! I'm in agreement with Dave though, can we poor anglais have a brief synopsis of what you are singing about?
Excellent. Just curious, did you need a "donkey permit" to walk around?
bravo andrina!! i didn't understand a damn thing you were singing about but i can honestly say that i loved the song/video; you're very easy on the eyes as well! ;)
...
ps. james, sorry i couldn't make it out; home with sick kids unfortunately. :(
anyone up for a "nice ass" joke? anyone?! *sigh* ahem, my apologies. butt seriously folks, the bottom line is that if it wasn't me someone would eventually crack an ass joke. put a donkey in a video and you're just assking for it! ;) *groan* please forgive my juvenile demeanor; all in good fun! ;) congrats andrina! au revoir!
Il y a un arbre géant
qui balance ses branches
et s'allonge sur la rive de la Rouge
C'est là que je vais me percher
Pour entendre l'eau couler
Et j'oublie que la ville bouge
Quand j'ai besoin de recul
je mets mes idées dans une capsule
et c'est la nature qui me rassure
J'ai une collection de vinyles
tous les titres font la file
Je passe des heures
dans mes écouteurs
Un énorme territoire
de vaste répertoir
Et j'y trouve mon bohneur
Quand j'ai besoin de recul
Je mets mes idées dans une capsule
et c'est la musique qui me revendique
oh...
Il est arrivé dans un bateau, unique scénario...
dans la pluie
il est venu me chercher
sur la plage de la péninsule
sous les étoiles et la lune
on savait qu'on allait s'aimer
Quand j'ai besoin de recul
je mets mes idées dans une capsule
et c'est ton amour
que je savoure
et c'est la musique
qui me revendique
et c'est la nature
qui me rassure
hey, hey, hey...
wrd. typentie
p.s. i wonder what the online translator will think of this.
There is a giant tree
to balance its branches
and lying on the shore of the Red
That's where I'm going to roost
To hear the water flowing
And I forget that the city move
When I need to drop
I put my ideas in a capsule
and this is the kind that reassures me
I have a collection of vinyl
all titles queuing
I spent hours
in my earphones
A huge territory
comprehensive directory
And I find my bohneur
When I need to drop
I put my thoughts in a capsule
and which is music to me claiming
oh ...
He arrived in a boat, the only scenario ...
in rain
he came to fetch me
on the beach of the peninsula
under the stars and the moon
we knew we would love
When I need to drop
I put my thoughts in a capsule
it's your love and
I enjoy
It's the music and
I claim
and the nature
I reassured
hey, hey, hey ...
Hah! I posted a translation at 10:20, and someone did one at 10:19. Syncronicity! (I removed my translation, it was inferior)
Very interesting.
Now I edited the translator a little to reflect the actual lyrics.
It wasn't very far off though.
I'm impressed.

word verif: inculp.
(comme "inculpable" en français-- i.e. free of guilt or blame)
this is a lovely song, and the video too, which made me miss Wpg.
also, Chic Gamine ROCKED Montreal-town last night to a full and appreciative house at La Tulipe.
beautiful video, song, and burro. makes me want to have a pet donkey.
it looks so warm in the video! i was there when they were working on it, and it was freezing out! the donkey was extremely cute... and andrina smokin as always
