Raymond Lefèvre - Soul Coaxing (Ame Câline)

Would you beleive when i heard this for the first time i was 8 and i just heard it at 53...LOL...I still love it and now i want to be 8 all over again. Well maybe younger :-)

@Wolfsky9 Absolutely.
For me, this was the anthem for life and still is.

Greatest instrumental of all time.

The first time I heard this way back when I was thirteen, I was with friends that I just met. One of the reasons I remember it so well is those friends are still among the most dear to me in my life. Thank you for making this song available here.

What an uplifting melody. The sweeping arrangement is great bonus.

outstanding arrangement-finally found it after almost 30 years;thanks for the post

Not sure how I stumbled across this this but it brought back great memories of pirate radio stations and carefree days. Haven't heard it for years.

Does anyone know where the lyrics in English are on the net? I don't mean the Peggy March version "If you loved me" I mean the actual Michael Polnareff words.

Check out the original by Michel Polnareff, the troubled but brilliant French composer. The lyrics to this song are an ad in the personals section of a newspaper placed by a man searching for his soul mate.

In1968 my parents moved to a new home and neighborhood. I remember being so sad leaving all my lifelong friends behind. But something about this song would always bring a smile to my face. it was like ray of sunshine through the clouds. Thank you for posting this aboyantz .
