While this blog covers French music both new and old, I enjoy the occasional link to a song that perhaps ties in to a particular day or occasion, so given St Valentine's day I thought this song appropriate.
Cabrel is a hugely talented singer-songwriter who has been releasing material since the late 70s. This song originally came out as a single in 1994 and on his Samedi soir sur la terre album, the album winning the Best Album award at the Victoires de la Musique that year, and the single winning the Trophée RFI/ Conseil de la Francophonie award.
Throughout his career he has been a socially aware performer, dealing with political issues such as immigration, exclusion, religion and has performed concerts for charity supporting children with HIV and Les Restaurants du cœur.
Cabrel's most recent release was the 2008 album Des roses et des orties.
Je t'aimais, je t'aime, je t'aimerai is a wonderful track, that is not only a very fine love song, but also a great lesson in the conjugation of the verb 'aimer' at no extra charge.
