Zaz

So, I've had the song stuck in my head "Les Passants" by the French artist Zaz. Her voice is really really unique, like a gypsy Edith Piaf. Needless to say, she's getting rave reviews for her jazzy blues style and introspective lyrics. I thought I'd share this song with you guys. It's beautiful and definitely unique.

At the beginning of the video, she says that this song is, translated,
her view of life in general. And the song basically deals with the
passing of life and how everything just seems changing.

A quote from the lyrics:
"L'automne dèja, c'était l'été hier encore, le temps me surprend,
semble s'accélérer, les chiffres de mon age, m'amènent vers ce moi rêver"

Loosely translated, this means:

"The autumn already, it was summer yesterday again. The time 

suprises me, seems to accelerate.  The digits (years) of my age seem
to bring me to this dream."

Interesting, no? Take a listen for yourself.

p.s. Her bass player is amazingly talented. For reals.
