Serge Gainsbourg - La Chanson de Prévert
This is a song about a song-- a song so well loved it became a classic in two continents, in two languages. It first was written in 1945 by poet Jacques Prévert, music by Joseph Kosma, and called "Les Feuilles Mortes." Nostalgia for a lost love was the subject. The words were adapted into English by songwriter Johnny Mercer in 1947 where it became both the pop and jazz standard, "Autumn Leaves," covered by many American singers. In 1962 Serge Gainsbourg wrote this song about "Les Feuilles Mortes", how its power to revive memories kept dead loves alive. References to Verlaine's "Chanson d'Automne" hint at its relation to classical French literature. (youtube user VNRose3 on Feb 25, 2011)
