These Foolish Things - Jane Birkin with Jimmy Rowles

from the compilation amlbum "Jazz A Saint Germain"
Lyrics:
A cigarette that bears a lipstick's traces
An airline ticket to romantic places
And still my heart has wings
These foolish things remind me of you
A tinkling piano in the next apartment
Those stumblin' words that told you what my heart meant
A fairground's painted swings
These foolish things remind me of you
You came, you saw, you conquered me
When you did that to me
I knew somehow this had to be
The winds of March that make my heart a dancer
A telephone that rings but who's to answer?
Oh, how the ghost of you clings
These foolish things remind me of you
The scent of smouldering leaves the wail of steamers
Two lovers on the street who walk like dreamers
Oh how the ghost of you clings
These foolish things
Remind me of you
How strange, how sweet, to find you still
These things are dear to me
They seem to bring you so near to me
The sigh of midnight trains in empty stations
Silk stockings thrown aside dance invitations
Oh how the ghost of you clings
These foolish things
Remind me of you
Remind me of you
Remind me of you

Je viens de retrouver çà dans mes archives RUclips ; la chanson du film « Daddy Nostalgy « de BertrandTavernier avec Dirck Bogarde et Jane Birkins, Musique d’Antoine Duhamel, que j’ai eu l’honneur d’enregistrer et de mixer….
Le pianiste qui chante et qui accompagne Jane Birkins n’est autre que Jimmy Rowles… Il n’y a eu qu’une prise …. Jimmy Rowles était atteint de la maladie des fumeurs, à savoir l’emphysème ; donc avec un tuyau dans les narines relié à une machine qui générait de l’oxygène et qui faisait beaucoup bruit …. J’avais pris le soin d’isoler la machine et nous avons enregistrer ce standard américain « These foolish things « …. Un instant magique ….
Ils viennent écouter la prise en cabine… Birkins affolée ! On ne comprenait pas pourquoi …. Et de nous expliquer que pendant toute la prise, ses pieds reposaient sur le tuyau d’oxygène !!!!! Elle s’en est aperçu à la toute fin de la chanson !!! rires !!!! Et çà a donné ce que vous entendez ….. Grand souvenir !

I hadn't heard all these lyrics before. This song is like a novel! And an epic poem. So lovely. Very nice version of one of the best songs ever.

[@jean-lucbersou758]

Qelle surprise Enchanteresse !!!.Votre Duo est magnifique .J'adore cette chanson
qui m'a "percuté" à la première écoute au milieu des années 1970 dans le Film de
Pier Paolo Pasolini "La république de Salo" où elle revient en boucle ,lancinante ,
obsédante avec un décalage d'une force tellurique par rapport au sujet du Film .

This song was written for Anna May Wong the great American mixed Chinese actress. A tribute to this great star of the 20's and 30's.

The piano dominates which, it has to be said, is no bad thing.
