A masterpiece.......2002-02-15

Serge Gainsbourg may be the most kept secret genius of pop music today,because he was french,this record he wrote for Jane Birkin has some of the most wonderful lyrics you can find in pop music ever,I've heard all her records and this is the one I like best.I don't believe there are many songs as wonderful written as "fuir le bonheur de peur qui'l ne se sauve"(run away from happiness for fear it will run off).The birkin/Gainsbourg duo never sounded better,and they always sounds great.

One of the most beautiful albums ever.......2000-05-06

This is the first album Serge Gainsbourg wrote for Jane Birkin after their divorce. A lot of the songs are obviously about the divorce. The songs are melancholy, poignant and very beautiful. For me this is the most beautiful album of the world besides Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys and Original Sin by Jim Steinman/Pandora's Box.
