Jacques Brel - Amsterdam - Gilles Verstraeten

I did this song on stage at the Theater Hall (schouwburg) of Kortrijk for the KULAK proms, a show of the university I'm in. (Kortr I did this song on stage at the Theater Hall (schouwburg) of Kortrijk for the KULAK proms, a show of the university I'm in. (Kortrijk - Belgium, part of the Catholic University of Leuven) I've been a very big fan of Jacques Brel for as long as I can remember. I'm sorry about the weird cuts during the movie, my sister filmed this with a photocamera, and she could only film pieces one minute long. This is an addition of the three pieces she got.

A few notes;

- French is not my maternal language, so my pronounciation is not perfect. I am Belgian, but Flemish.
- I already know I'll never be as good as Brel, so don't waste your breath on pointing that out. I intended to do a good interpretation.

I'd like to thank the musicians that played with me, that would be Joeri van Calster on the piano and Maxim Honoré on the bass. I'd also like to thank Renaud en Chloé for the organisation of the show.

Bien sûr Brel restera inimitable, mais ça vaut largement une prestation de chanteur "pro" ! Quant à la prononciation, elle est digne d'un francophone natif !

Faithful to the original; but what I like is the frenetic piano lending yet more edge to this edgiest of songs.

Great! The end was a bit off, but nonetheless, excellent cover!
