Perdu Dans Paris by The Tangent

A 2010 performance of a song I wrote about a city that probably my favourite. Iput it here along with the following text (on Facebook) because of the events in Paris recently. I have disabled comments to keep trolling to a minimum. In 2006 (or maybe late 2005) I set off from Rodez near Toulouse on a 125 cc motorcycle and rode more than 600 miles across the Massif Central, the Mountains of Cantal, up through the Sologne and into Paris. It took a long time and I was pretty sore... and I had to go back the next day. My friend Vince and I went to see Van Der Graaf Generator that night, at the Bataclan - scene of horrible carnage last night. My memories are of chatting to Hugh, David and Peter in the little rooms behind the stage and a fantastic night of music and a heady vibrant city that I have always thought of as a spiritual home. Sally and I, a couple of years later later walked over 20 miles in one day around the city in a day we will never ever forget. In 2006 I slept rough there for a few days as I tried to get home. It is a city that is part of both the low and high points of my life. I wrote a song about it and my fortunes there. It had this line in it... "There's two Cities in this town, and I'm living in one, but I could be in the other Tomorrow." This old song is for everyone there Yesterday, for every passer by who dropped a few cents into my hat, for every restauranteur, cafe owner, tourist, metro driver and gallery owner, street artist and homeless person in a sleeping bag near the Gare Du Nord. I have loved your city as long as I have known it. My memories of it, both good and bad are among the strongest and most vivid of a lifetime. Strength to you all. A tous mes amis Francaises.
