"He was a little bit of everything. He was a musician, an author—a pretty successful author... He was an aspiring politician, but he certainly didn't want to be your run of the mill politician. He was really trying to run against everything that politics stood for. He was a poet at heart. He was an angry, frustrated, loving poet."

Seeing the news that Françoise Hardy has died has reminded me of the French version of To The End she recorded with Blur.

They could have just re-recorded the vocals in French, but no, they redid the whole track, and it’s gorgeous.
