wow... from 3.58 things become clearer, darker... Catherine is overwhelmed: "Will we see again Such passing trains as before? It's not me for me to say... Nobody knows what goes on there Noone believes they ought to see for themselves. As for me, I'm there anyway. Little train Where are you going? Death train What are you doing? Will you do it again?"

As with many of Rita Mitsouko's songs the lyrics are poetic and impressionist rather than literal, so you can miss the darkness unless you listen closely...
"The hats of the peasants
Undulate in the wind
They laugh, sometimes to tears,
Dreaming of their lovers
The children? ...The grandparents?...
Little train
Bring them to the flames
Across the fields"

Le Petit Train by Rita Mitsouko is a work of art. It uses the melody and opening line from the pretty 50's chanson by André Claveau ("A little train goes into the country...") for a heartbreaking fado on holocaust memory. Catherine Ringer's father was a holocaust survivor and here the 'little train' is one of the thousands of 'death trains' taking jews to the camps under the guise of offering 'resettlement to work in the East'. In its way, as shocking as Billie Holiday's Strange Fruit.

This song is a masterpiece of humanity. In contrast to the atrocities, we propose a creative vision, intelligent, sensitive and existential life. Conscience fight against the forces of evil, the city of joy shook always the strongest. Here we break the question, the death train will roll it again? Well the answer and no. No more. The whole song and all the clip forcefully express this hope, this will. It is a prayer adogmatic and deep, a hymn, a profession of liver. Go in peace.

Il n'y avait que Les Rita Mitsouko pour traiter d'un sujet aussi douloureux avec une telle originalité musicale et visuelle. Un magnifique clip qui donne à réflechir. Ce duo est irremplaçable !! De plus, en tant que fille de déporté (écouter "C'était un homme"), Catherine Ringer sait de quoi elle parle... sans risque de mauvais goût !

OK. MY FRENCH is so limitied to croissant. All i know is that i saw this as a teenager after Cest comme ca, and felt in love with Rita for life. I just think , not only that they are genious. BUt ever so talented. I saw them after (as an adult) live whilst Fred wasnt well, and Catherine was SO fantastic, we had no idea what was going on. One of the most amazing band ever. Jataime. Even if i dont speak french. A-mazing. AX
