Francis Cabrel - L'Edition Speciale

[JKSCN]

Thanks for posting this song. It is from one of my favorite movies of all time: Broadcast News. Awesome!

[brynnbaron]

Just bought an album of his, thanks to you. I love technology.

I know why you could find no soundtrack album. It wouldn't be much of an album. :-)

There is no "soundtrack" album to Broadcast news because there were only three credited songs, and one of them was "Newsroom Theme", which was written to have as background, and it has an urgency to it -- not what you'd enjoy during dinner. LOL.

Then there is this song (thanks for finding it!).

The third song is "Midnight Train to Georgia" as performed by Gladys Knight and the Pips.

Ahh...just saw the translation below

Thx for posting this..just saw the movie again and something about this song pulls you in even though it goes by in seconds. Any idea what he's singing about?

[Korrieification]

Thanks, slamm7295 - I've found it and downloaded!

[slamm7295]

It is on iTunes. This exact album that is posted is on there.

[Korrieification]

Why can't I get this on iTunes?!!!

I first heard this too on the film Broadcast News and had to find out more - fortunately I found the album above in HMV and from then to now have bought everything by this wonderful musician - sadly not known here in UK but deservedly popular in France .

Translation part 2:

Because it seems like there's fire over half of the world

And we wait for the best, just for the Sagittarians

After one last drink, the breath of the stars

And then nothing

And then nothing

And then, Special Edition, Special Edition

In living color, my desire for her

And then, Special Edition, Special Edition

[smwlaw]

Translation part 3: Life-sized, her eyes on the wall And then I look for anyone I know who is still standing I don't have to lure anyone at this hour It shouldn't be hard I just can't sleep with nobody next to me The silence waits I hear it resonate "Go, hey, good night!" The sound when I hang up And then nothing And then ... Special Edition ..

[smwlaw]

Translation part 4: When I wake up, the girl in the glass box already said hello My friend's gone off in another anger over another speech But the night comes quickly to those who are afraid of it There are things that we avoid It's not easy with her A quiet afternoon A banal afternoon And then ... And then ... Special Edition

Over the years I thought I was the only one searching for this song from 'Broadcast News' -1987. I searched Tower Records right after seeing it with no luck. And on a vacation to Quebec, Canada back in '92 I went into a record store certain that someone would know of Francis Cabrel and 'L'Edition Speciale', but no. Thank you for bringing it out of obscurity. -- Ray from Radnor, PA
