The complete antithesis of excess in music ... ... simple, meaningful and powerful all at the same time. Great choice mate.
This, in my opinion, is one of the greatest 'I really don't give a f*ck' songs in the history of music. I totally ignored this when I lived in France and hated it when the French sang it at staff meals, BBQ's and weddings. It's only since I began to question my own mortality that I realised the power of this song, the significance and how much it meant to her and the French. In this video she's absolutely 'in the raw', battered and at the end of her spirit ... ... but she belts it out because she knows what it means to people. A real heroine of mine despite how easily I dismissed her for fifty years, just shows you're never too old to learn.
The Radio 2 Rock Show can be hitty-missy for me but the latest episode is very decent. Def Leppard special: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m002h1wp?partner=uk.co.bbc&origin=share-mobile
