Sympa la chanson. L’atmosphère bucolique de Paris que John Cale transmet est vraiment intéressante. Et la façon dont il dit « Beaujolais » et « Champs-Elysées » est unique =)

@compscrap If think you're right, there are many similarities. Still, what a wonderful song an album^^. The Beatles were influenced by this and that, too. I read a few interviews with Cale where he occasionally could talk like a snob, but I think this is an unforgettable, hauntingly beautiful song. Just nice that we can listen to such wonderful music.

There is nothing in pop music quite like this - which is as big a compliment I can make. The single greatest thing cale has ever done - and I bet secretly he knows it! And as others have said, the whole album is one of the greatest ever made. Wonderful lyrics too, no idea what they mean but a perfect match of words and music.

I saw John Cale live two months ago and if he delivered a solid performance, I was a little disappointed he didn't play anything from this classic!

there is a lot of beatles influence in this song. They were really the first to successfully use orchestras in their rock music.

such a well crafted song.

Cracking arrangement

An outstanding song from both a classic album and also a watershed album
Love the orchestral backing which has been a landmark of many of the great albums
Probably his best album although Slow Dazzle is very good

The entire Paris 1919 album is fine. I bought the LP so many years ago and it's still my favorite Cale album.
