Le Cargo sessions
This was a lot of fun, Maeva le Berre and meself rock up to a rehearsal room in Paris on a cold december morn and start figuring out songs for the show later on that night.

i need to know the history of the song leaves in the autumn….i just love your performance at the cargo sessions…muchas gracias por tu entrega y tu poesía….

Mmmm the history of songs…well I am trying not to be explicit in telling the story of each song as they appear when i write them because sometimes it ruins the image the listener has when they hear it. Whatever images or stories are conjured up in the listeners head are special and i don’t want to destroy them. All i will say is it is set in the mountains that i saw from my window every day when i grew up.
I hope to visit Uruguay next year. Yep i drink santa cruz yerba mate…awesome.
hasta luego…

ok…the truth is that i thaugt it was a traditional song of irland…of course you donn´t have to explain anithing…i heard the song in a moment very especial to me, a that time i just finished to read a haiku that said:
when the autumn wind is blowing, not a single leave continue to be the same
(uf…sorry ….my english is terrible…..):P
te espero el año que viene con unos ricos mates…see you soon…:)

Well the style would be influenced by traditional songs for sure. That is a great haiku.
It’s a deal, see you for some mate.
