Paradis/Wolfgang/Cloud Atlas
Vanessa Paradis
Jo la Taxi got everyone’s attention but Vanessa was really at her peak around the time of ‘Be My Baby’ – penned by her beau of the moment, the one trick pony, Lenny Kravitz – she looked stunning, like Bardot in 1954, no longer was she a cute teenager singing about lame taxi rides she had become a femme fatale almost overnight (well in England anyway, she’d been banging out albums in France for ages previously)
I was living in Lyon for three months when her second film, Jean Becker’s ‘Elisa’, was released and I think this marked a turning point for Vanessa, you could already see a slight gauntness to her face and she seemed to age dramatically over the next few years, then by the time she was doing Chanel adverts she was barely recognisable as the girl from the mid 90’s.
She’s with Johnny Depp now and they have two kids, Lily-Rose and Jack – apparently the kids are the reason Depp is doing lighter films these days (Pirates of the Caribbean, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory)
Wolfgang
This song is composed by Wolfgang, an abandoned supposed 1980’s musical royalties generating machine, and reflects his realization that a human can never truly love a robot. - ‘Wolfgang's songs illustrate the experience of love and heartache, of the initial joy and eventual hopelessness that accompanies unrequited love’ - Yes, I thought it sounded pretentious too. Then I actually listened to it……the beat sounds like Hey Mickey at the beginning but don’t let that put you off, pure vocoder emotion follows.
MP3: Wolfgang - Not in love (Not True)
David Mitchell - Cloud Atlas
