Subject: Who wrote that?
Listening to the song Lamplight. The Amazon Music app scrolls the lyrics as
I listen.
I am looking at the French lyrics that begin the song. And it occurs to me,
someone had to write those. And do so without screwing it up. And someone
had to make sure that it was sung correctly, more or less.
I wonder what the story was behind that?
Also, they didn't actually have to have French lyrics in the song. No one
was going to take them to task for singing it in English. So... that's an
interesting thought process. Not merely writing the song, but saying that
this part should be in French. And someone is going to have to show Robin
how to sing that...
