This time a French traditional of the 18th century. Author unknown. It is now considered a lullaby for children but carries a double meaning throughout (the dead candle, the need to light up the flame, the God of Love, etc.) that becomes clear with its conclusion. In Europe it used to be sung by children at primary school (without telling about the second meaning). Probably also in Canada? The video is also meant for children.....  We gave it "a touch of rock".

So I used ( ) for the English translation. Anne-Marie Rob and Anne-Marie

After that intro, I was expecting Tom Fogerty to jump in. Although your vocals were very good! Did not understand it (English, and a touch of Spanish is all I do) but certainly appreciated it musically. I'm going to have to check out those RTs. Excellent job, as usual!! Take care. Greg

Nice tune and backing. I like your vocal harmonizing on this as well. The kid themed video is a nice touch.

Hi Rob and Anne-Marie,
it's astounding what you made from this
well known children's song.
Very nice harmonies.
Entertaining video (for children).
I enjoyed it.

Where to start?
- Absolutely perfect video to accompany the song and very pro in appearance.
- An interesting and very effective choice of RT's (the slide was both unexpected and very cool).
- Wonderful harmonies
- Impeccable mix
- Great back story on the song's origins
Yep, we much enjoyed the listen and look!

Sounds great. Cool arrangement and harmonies. Really cute video - what program did you use to make the cartoon video?

Rob, Didn't understand the lyrics so I'm glad you translated into English. A very nice cover of a well known standard. Your arrangement certainly updated the song.

Rob and Anne-Marie,
Very well done. Excellent arrangement and mix - as always. This had a little "edgier" sound to it. Sounded great..

Rob and Ann-Marie, I wasn't expecting that style. Of course you pulled it off beautifully. The video works nicely. Great mix as usual. Tom

Hi. I've listened to your songs before and they're always excellent productions. This one is too. Is there some dynamic panning going on or a phaser perhaps?
Hey, had to play Mountains O'Mourne. Superb!
(I've always loved that Don McLean tune. I cover it from time to time.)

Hi Janice and Bud, Thanks for all those kind remarks. Glad you also liked the video, it was quite some work although it looks quite simple. And glad you liked the choice of RT's and the slide, because it is one of the few songs for which I've done the music on my own. I knew the song, Rob didn't  Anne-Marie

Hi Rob and Anne-marie
I listened to this the other day but don't think I got round to commenting. I always look forward to hearing your latest tunes. Your vocals, production and video are up to your normal very high standard.
