Julien Clerc - Partir (2002)


Julian Clerc was always one of France's better singers, one who I often thought could have made a name for himself outside of 'the hexagon'; but it never happened.

I always liked this particular song about 'getting away from it all'. It has a summery feel about it, and this up-tempo version (without the tedious intro) is probably the best; although I doubt whether many people will enjoy it. Too French.

  1. Don't know what he was singing about but he's very easy on the eye as they say...thanks Cro!

    1. French people often refer to France as 'the hexagon', on account of its shape.

  3. I looked up a translation of the lyrics. It's pretty philosophical. When he first came on stage I thought it was Macron.
