Kitty Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 Can anyone recommend which CD by Isabelle Boulay I should buy for my 16 year old daughter? My daughter likes her music apparently and as I have never heard of her, I am at a loss as to which CD to order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anton Redman Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 Ageing hippy that I am I would suggest starting with Etats D'Amour or her latest Chansons Pour Les Mois D'Hiver, but then what do I know my favourite Wainwright in AA followed by Loudon III before eventually reaching Rufus. Best check she has not any already Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitty Posted December 16, 2009 Author Share Posted December 16, 2009 Thanks Anton. She doesn't have any."Ageing hippy" is an oxymoron... Hippies are forever young. [:D] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NormanH Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 A personal favorite (but a bit old for a young person who might want to be seen as more up to date) is Au moment d'être à vouswith this cover version of the Leo Ferré classic"Avec le temps"and (appropriate for you)"Ma fille'Lyrics here "Mon enfant, mon petit... Bonne route... Bonne routeTu prendras le train pour la vie et ton cœur va changer de pays...Sur le chemin de la vie nos deux cœurs vont changer de pays" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The daughter who wants an Isabelle Boulay CD, although a teenager, has traditional tastes.I think that the lyrics to Ma Fille are very appropriate, especially as she is shortly to go to Germany for a whole year soon.I'm off to try to buy it today.

NormanH Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 They are good aren't they.Bon courage for the time when she goes to Germany, but I am sure you will be able to say:"Je vais te retrouver, Je vais me retrouver dans chacun de tes gestesOn s'est quittés parents, on se retrouve amis" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitty Posted December 28, 2009 Author Share Posted December 28, 2009 I bought the CD that you recommended with "Ma Fille" on. She was absolutely delighted. I was SO excited when I saw it on the shelves because I left it quite late to get.So thank you, Norman. Sometimes you can be a "softie". I just wish you were like this all the time - it suits you. I'm a bit scared of your "grumpy" side! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I am a softie , but many of her songs make me cry! One example : Le plus fort, c'est mon père.( the lyrics are on the right hand side, if you click on " more info" )Another one " Les filles seules" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
