La Chanson pour l'Auvergnat - Georges Brassens (cover)

My version of La Chanson de L'Auvergnat by Georges Brassens. Once again please excuse my pronounciation and the liberties that I've taken with the rhythm. Georges Brassens is one of my favourite French singers - a great poet!

@Dysnomia8 Thanks very much!

This is somehow reminiscent of Momus' cover of Ne Me Quitte Pas by Brel...low key, acoustic, with a fresh rhythmic interpretation. Excellent work!

@snakousmane Thank you very much. Brassens is definitely my favourite French singer - timeless, rather like the Beatles in that respect. I love watching videos of him playing, that little smile - pour moi, un homme très digne.

Now this is how to do a good cover.

Amazing guitar skills, great voice, genuine emotion.

That little English accent sprinkled over the top comes across as: La cerise sur le gâteau, so I wouldn't worry about it.

Nice work mate.
