    ★★★★ Peter Quinn, Jazzwise
    ‘Superb interpretations…impressionistic, floating, wildly romantic. Moule really finds the soul of her instrument on this outstanding collection’

    ★★★★ Simon Adams, Jazz Journal
    'Classic late-night club jazz, evocative of the floating world of ambiguity and decadence the songs conjure up. A classy and intelligent set.‘

about

Fran Landesman's translation of Jacques Prevert's epic poem of survival and hope.

lyrics

It's not just my voice that is singing
There are voices from the past
There is the sound of church bells ringing
And some dreams that didn't last
There are the desperate and the gay
The siren song of yesterday
The voice of all my youthful follies
And the one that got away

There is the voice of sister sorrow
And the voice of fleeting joy
There is the voice of some tomorrow
That this moment may destroy
There is a fugitive who drowns
A little girl in mother's gowns
The voice of one more fallen sparrow
That's been broken by this town

And always always when I'm singing
That bird sings along with me
Although in pain its notes are ringing in the face of destiny
If I could tell you all it sings about the winter and the springs
When I was hungry and tormented by misfortune's wicked stings
But I'd do better to forget it for that song's no longer mine
I'm going off to something sweeter than that shabby Auld Lang Syne
Don't want to suffer anymore I'm going to get up off the floor
Although my dearest friend misfortune says 'I've heard that song before'

I'm going to wipe away my teardrops I won't advertise my pain
For all my two a penny troubles aren't enough to stop the train
Right now I'm on my way to Spain through all the sunsets and the rain
And if this planet doesn't suit me I won't pass this way again

And if the living dead officials at the customs stop me there
Just let them vandalise my baggage I got nothing to declare
Love may be on another train but we are sure to meet again
For just like me Love is a wanderer and we're sure to meet again
And we are sure to meet again
