Picture a bedroom window.
It’s a warm night, after a sun-drenched day.
You’re lying in bed, catching your breath.
All of a sudden, you hear music.
It’s coming from outside.
Somewhere outside a love song is ringing faintly.
It’s sung in French.
It’s a guy, a man, a Frenchman’s voice, clearly.
You realize that the song is being sung for you.
And it’s about time that someone sang like this for you.
The guy can come in, and if he wants to, he can sing many more songs like this, but then closer.
The guy comes in and sings as many songs for you as you want all night long.
Trust me: nice boys can turn angry women into very happy little girls.
Wende Snijders (1978) is one of the Netherlands’ best singers. She became famous thanks to the intense way in which she sings songs by Brel, Brassens and Barbara. Anyone who has seen her live will never forget it.

Je suis Pierre Faa assidument et j'ai eu l'occasion de l'entendre interpréter plus d'une fois "encore des étoiles" en solo ou avec Erica Buettner à chaque fois j'ai adoré mais je dois dire que je n'aime pas du tout cette version avec B.Carlotti qui à mon avis couvre beaucoup trop la voix de Pierre et on à l'impression d"entendre B.Carlotti en duo avec Pierre Faa et non l'inverse, quel dommage pour cette chanson sublime!
