so i'm driving along the road heading into work one spring morning, tuned into toronto's few french music radio station and i hear the end of this song...
...and i can't get it outta my head for the rest of the day.
i search around and can't figure out what it is, until a friend finally calls the station for me and finds out (by the way, thanks, this one's for you!).
"une rose noire" is short, upbeat, happy-go-lucky song on an all french album - a first for cargnello, an anglo montrealer who has been described as an acoustic folk-punker. the simple, optimistic tune and lyrics along with the catchy harmonica and guitar riffs make it one of those unpretentious but lovable songs that you suddenly find yourself whistling as you walk down the sidewalk on a sunny day. and i hope you will!
so here's to plenty of sunny days ahead...
