Serge Gainsbourg - Histoire De Melody Nelson Artist_Urban Volcano Sounds Inspired by everything from Satie

Inspired by everything from Satie to the Cocteau Twins

Recent Songs is the sixth studio album by Leonard Cohen

A ritornello that awakens

It was a fortuitous moment to arrive in New York

For all the band’s talk of free jazz and no wave influences

Serge Gainsbourg - Histoire De Melody Nelson Artist_Urban Volcano Sounds Inspired by everything from SatieIt's safe to say that Serge Gainsbourg wouldn't have fared well post #metoo and Operation Yew Tree. This 1971 LP was a concept album about a middle aged man running his Rolls Royce into a teenage girl who he later seduced. It was probably less romantic when Stuart Hall did this kind of thing because Gainsbourg had a gallic flair for words and music that took him between folk, easy listening a proto hip hop on an album often considered his masterpiece.
