eliotE: March 2009 Archives
Have A Good Night 4, released today, is a collection of "lullabies"
performed by such rising stars of the French indie scene as Mina Tindle
(who will be supporting Beirut on their upcoming European tour), MiLK
and Fruit Juice, and eliotE & the Ritournelles (who have teamed up
with Rivkah on Wheel of Dreams, a charming little ditty for
which I wrote the lyrics), together with a few international guests.
The idea for our song came from eliotE herself, who told me about a dream she often had as a child in which she could "choose" what to dream about using a kind of magic roulette wheel. When she came to me with the idea they already had a vocal melody, which she described as being "a bit like the Andrews sisters", and I tried my best to respect that as I came up with the words.
I got a sneak preview of some of the album's contents a couple of weeks ago when I attended a special kids-only concert held at a playgroup in Montmartre, Paris - hardly the most rock n' roll of venues, I admit, but my daughter and her friend loved it!
