Je n'ai pas peur de la route
Faudrait voir, faut qu'on y goute
Des meandres au creux des reins
Et tout ira bien la
Le vent l'emportera
Ton message la grande ourse
Et la trajectoire de la course
l'instantanee de velours
Meme s'il ne sert rien
Le vent l'emportera
Tout disparaitra
Le vent nous portera
La caresse et la mitraille
Cette plaie qui nous tiraille
Le palais des autres jours
D'hier et demain
Le vent les portera
Genetique en bandouliere
Des chromosomes dans l'atmosphere
Des taxis pour les galaxies
Et mon tapis volant, lui
Le vent l'emportera
Tout disparaitra
Le vent nous portera
Ce parfum de nos annees mortes
Ceux qui peut frapper a ta porte
L'infinite du destin
On en pose un, qu'est-ce qu'on en retient ?
Le vent l'emportera
Pendant que la maree monte
Et que chacun fait ses comptes
J'emmene au creux de mon ombre
Des poussieres de toi
Le vent les portera
Tout disparaitra
Le vent nous portera
Faudrait voir, faut qu'on y goute
Des meandres au creux des reins
Et tout ira bien la
Le vent l'emportera

Sophie Hunger's version is also amazing 
You should also check out the cover by Mea Culpa Jazz on Youtube! Bill should play it on this station!
I love every rendition of this song I ever heard. This is my favorite though.

How does that change the music?
Very strange to hear that song today, while the news in France are about the 20 years since M. Canta (the singer) killed his girlfriend....
That was just a plain savage thing done by a drunk guy.
But you can find many people giving kind of excuses because he's an "artist"...
How does that change the music?
I give this song a one because I think this guy copied music for this song from a ballad I heard when in the Soviet Union in the 70s, modified it a little, and claimed it as his own. I cannot find this Russian song online, but one day I will.

Love this song and the other version played here. The guitars and the horn is great in this.

Well, at list in this song they seem to imitate Sahel music. I had to see their picture to realize they are not immigrants from Mali or Senegal, or else.
Who would have guessed that French music would improve so much in the last decade? I remember when even the French themselves would listen mostly to American and British rock music. They liked Jazz and Blues but were usually poor imitators. But no more.

The fact, as a human being about the lead singer is deeply disturbing. I don't believe someone like him can "pay enough rent to the society" in his lifetime for what he did. To me, this overclouds his music with very very dark clouds.
Hence his bands name, I just realised
i m french . this song, this artist are amazing.... more upon any facts , he paid his rent to the society... many years jailed ..i play in concert in a festival with "noir desir".. amazing band, amazing men. Rédemption.....

The lead vocal is a guy who was convicted of beating his girlfriend to death? Yeesh.

Exactly this - this guy is a massively abusive jerk. Shouldn't be allowed around women. EVER.

According to Wikipedia, Cantat was not fully reformed by serving that sentence:
On the night of 10 January 2010, Cantat's former wife Krisztina Rády died by suicide. At the time of her death, Bertrand Cantat was present in the house. She was discovered by their children the following day.[10] Shortly before her death, Rády had complained of mental abuse by Cantat. The physical abuse she complained of on the answering machine is that he threw some objects at her, but she never mentioned that he was assaulting her. According to Cantat, Rády's parents had spent a week with him after the suicide.[11] Magistrates in Bordeaux investigated Cantat in connection with Rady's suicide, but ultimately decided not to press charges.

Nice tune but prefer the Sophie Hunger version.

I'm not afraid of the road
Should see, we have to taste it
Meandres in the hollow of the kidneys
And everything will be fine there
The wind will prevail
Your message the big bear
And the course of the race
instant velvet
Even if it is useless
The wind will prevail
Everything will disappear
The wind will Carry Us
The caress and the grape shot
This wound that tugs us
The palace of other days
From yesterday and tomorrow
The wind will carry them
Shoulder strap genetics
Chromosomes in the atmosphere
Taxis for galaxies
And my flying carpet
The wind will prevail
Everything will disappear
The wind will Carry Us
This scent of our dead years
Those who can knock on your door
The infinity of fate
We ask one, what do we remember?
The wind will prevail
As the tide rises
And that everyone does their accounts
I take in the hollow of my shadow
Dust from you
What a beautiful song! 10

If ever there was an equivalent of a pop hit that gets played into the ground on RP, it's this song. It seems to turn up on RP with alarming regularity. Maybe it's my particular listening habits/bad luck?
i m french . this song, this artist are amazing.... more upon any facts , he paid his rent to the society... many years jailed ..i play in concert in a festival with "noir desir".. amazing band, amazing men. Rédemption.....

Please... Noir Désir is Noir Désir. Not only the singer Cantat. They wrote all the band together and composed.
I can't excuse Cantat and the band didn't also. Now... Maybe my favourite album of this band. Really shamanic writing. There is also more rock from this french band before.
By the way... I'm really glad this music is still on RP ^^ 9 for me

It was 2 extreme personalities. One died the other is a ghost now ...
It was an awful night

A great lyricist and, incidentally, a murder.

The old saying that French is a language meant for singing, English is meant for speaking, and German is meant for spitting. I agree with the first part (not necessarily with the third part, but my parents only spoke German in our home when they were arguing - so maybe there is something to it.)
And for the linguistically challenged, the artist's name translates as: 'Black Desire'. 'Nuf said!

not that it mitigates the crime in anyway but he did apparently try to kill himself with an OD of pills when he found out how bad her injuries were.
Apparently they both left their families and partners to be with each other, which is pretty heavy stuff emotionally and a big ask, and it sounds like he lost it completely. The whole thing appears to be an unmitigated disaster, with his ex-wife later committing suicide. Passion and morals don't always bed together, yet they need each other. A life lived without the one or the other is a life half-lived.
You can believe no one knows the full story but we can observe its tragedy.

In 2003, Cantat began an affair with French actress Marie Trintignant. On July 26 of that year, Cantat and Trintignant got in a fight in a hotel room in Vilnius, Lithuania,
following a dispute over a text message. Seven hours later,
Trintignant’s brother called emergency services to go to the couple’s
Lithuanian hotel room, as Trintignant had slipped into a deep coma. She
died of swelling to the brain several days later in hospital.
The post-mortem examination suggested that Cantat had inflicted 19
blows !!!!!! to Trintignant's head, causing irreversible brain damage.
In court, Cantat claimed he "slapped" Trintignant four times before putting her to bed. He claimed he had flown into a jealous rage after she received a text message from her ex-husband.
Trintignant was 41 at the time of her death, and left four young sons.
His house was burned down in Moustey.
His spouse and his two children initially were supposed to be in the house at that
time, but were in Bordeaux, instead.
At the request of his lawyers, Cantat was moved from a Lithuanian prison to a prison near Muret, France, September 2004. Cantat served four years of his eight-year
sentence in prison. According to French law, after half of a prison
sentence has been served, a criminal with good behavior can be released
to serve the rest of his sentence on parole.
Cantat was released from the French prison on parole in October 2007, after
serving half of his sentence. His early release aroused the anger of
women's rights activists and the victim’s parents, who had failed to
persuade French President Nicolas Sarkozy and French judges to block his early release.
On the night of 10 January 2010, Cantat's ex-wife Krisztina Rády
died by suicide. At the time of her death, Bertrand Cantat was present

Okay tune. I gave it a 6 because it's one of those songs that, IMHO, would only be really cool if I was listening to it while driving along on a sunny day, windows down ... or perhaps hearing it at an outdoor multi-talent concert ... more like background music than anything else. Other than that, just a bit long and same-ol'-same-ol'.

Would his music still have been played if he would have been guilty of a hate crime? I suspect that misogyny and wife-beating (killing in this case) is just not a crime that stirs up a lot of passion in todays culture.

Merci Radio Paradise, Noir Désir est un groupe qui représente bien le rock français. Je vous conseille également le groupe Téléphone qui a été l'image de toute la jeunesse des années 80, le groupe Ange, pop rock progressif, notre Génésis français, Capdevielle, Bashung, Gainsbourg....

I have no idea what they are singing about but I'm liking the music.

Not sure i can agree with playing this, given the lead singer beat up his girlfriend who died a few days later from her injuries.

TOSTAKY please !!! What an energy song

This one is very good to and so cool.
And I think that what will happened in the futur cannot have an influence with the meaning of these songs wrote a few years ago.
My English is bad ?! I know it

Really Like this, but have you heard Sophie Hunger's version? A total reinterpretation.
TOSTAKY 
Le Vent Nous Portera - Now that is a "nasal" sentence. No way I could pronounce that correctly.

If you like this kind of music you can lesson "Les négresses vertes" or "Les Rita Mitsuko" or "Manu Chao" etc.
Love you

not that it mitigates the crime in anyway but he did apparently try to kill himself with an OD of pills when he found out how bad her injuries were.
Apparently they both left their families and partners to be with each other, which is pretty heavy stuff emotionally and a big ask, and it sounds like he lost it completely. The whole thing appears to be an unmitigated disaster, with his ex-wife later committing suicide. Passion and morals don't always bed together, yet they need each other. A life lived without the one or the other is a life half-lived.
I agree at 80% from your comment.
But... an accident ? No should NEVER slap (or hit) a woman.
Bad temper, alcohol maybe (drugs ? Wtf : she was shooting a movie!) but the fault is 100% on his head and he says so.
And he didn't stay very long in prison
For "no reason for keep punishing...", we'll talk on this subject again the day your only daughter will be killed...

I love this song "Le vent nous portera", do you know others french artists like Zaz, Francis Cabrel, etc ? Why don't you play some of their songs ?
7 -> 8
This might just be my favourite song in the world.

This seems to be on every 3 days. I'm sure the spectrum of French music runs much deeper than "Le Vent Nous Portera".. maybe sample some other artists and songs from that region?
Is this song pretty much the full extent of French music on Radio Paradise? I've heard it easily 25 times so far.

If you have 23 minutes to spare for the track "L'Europe" off this album, it is worth your time. Pretty impressive.

Excuse my French, and have some merci beaucoup.
Love this song. If you also like it, try the La Maison Tellier song Sur un Volcan. The video is interesting, particularly for the Peugeot 404 in one of which I learned to drive (while sitting on my father's knee).
What a great song. Sorry Bill, I stopped listening to RP for a few days because I had this - and only this - song in an endless loop. Thanks a lot for bringing this to us. Also the Sophie Hunger Version was new to me. What a shame, being Swiss myself 
......
......practically the only french song here ... what a shame ...
what about "ce soir je bois" ? ...

I was thinking Bill was playing this song in memory/tribute to the loss of our French friends in another senseless attack. And before I could finish my comment - Bill confirmed that this was related. Thank you so much for keeping the music relevant and poignant (Bruce Cockburn follow on song - offered (and accepted) in same light). Maybe the next song should be "What's So Funny About Peace Love and Understanding"!
Everyday is a good day to play french music, but today it is nessesary! Vive la france! Fraternite, liberte, egalite!

It was an accident, two people that were not in their right state of mind, who lost control and it lead to her death. It's unfortunate but no reason to keep punishing him the way the Trintignant family does.

The "damnatio memoriae" seems a bit excessive for me.
Today, the band doesn't exist anymore, due to this murder.
Here, in France, nobody forgets this case, but the man and his work shouldn't be so linked, in my opinion.
Forgive my English
I cannot listen to this murderer's music.

Great song .. Such a sombre character though .. Can't listen to this song without thinking about all the evil Cantat brought onto the ones closest to him

Music is about good feelings and soul lifting.
But this tune will forever make me think of a woman killer, brutality and violence.
I don't listen to radio to be reminded of humanity's worst flaws

No. That's a very dangerous statement. As Hannah Arendt once wrote, on the subject of collective guilt: "Where all are guilty, none are". If all are guilty, by omission, of murder as you write, then the real murderers are different only in degree, not kind. Perhaps going off-topic, guilt is also a very poor motivator, and serves only to reinforce the position of those determining the guilt. I spent a good part of my growing-up in Catholic Ireland, so have some experience of this...

Listen to the music! Great song! If you start screening for values then don't be surprised if you only hear silence, as this is not a perfect world. The sound of life is quite a raucous, and artists are sharing their imperfect hearts and passions with us. J'aime entendre le français et d'autres langues de temps en temps... Thank you RP for your diversity.

Great to hear a French song on RP every now and then!
And even though I believe everything has been said about that on this thread... Bertrand Cantat wrote this song way before he killed Marie Trintignant...which he didn't do on purpose, deeply regretted cos she was the love of his life, and did his time in jail for.
What happened is tragic indeed, and you can hate the man for what he did, but don't condemn the song AND the band because it has nothing to do with blood and/or murder!
