Just some randomness coz I was listening to this song on the musicals playlist on my ipod today.
In 2001 I started my job at the place i quit from last November and am now back there as a casual trying to earn zee cash to return to Canada yo!
ANYWAYS so the chick I worked with and was my direct supervisor, Sarah, was CRAZY into musicals. She got me into Notre Dame de Paris (which I got to go see at the end of 2001 when my famiy went to Paris for 4 days – i cant tell you how stoked i was about that! I got all teary and when the overture starts – well i cant listen to it even now without getting that huge emotional overload. it was GREAT!), and she had told me about this new show they had on in Paris – Romeo et Juliette (one guess what its about people).
Now when we got to Paris I hadnt heard any of the songs even though Sarah had talked about it, but one of the days me and my sister were watching a music channel (i was hoping to see Garou who was in the original show of Notre Dame de Paris and who had released an album and was a tad popularat the time) and i didnt see the start with the name of the song but the below song came on and I was SURE it was from the Romeo et Juliette show. I also heard it on the radio the next day at breakfast so that helped it stick in my brain so i would recognise it again if i heard it.
Turned out I was right! Its called Les ROis du Monde (Kings of the World).
I ended up buying one of the recordings of the show (not the entire show) just for that song. I have barely even listened to the rest!
Anyways so this was the video I saw originally.
I did find another version on youtube that had better sound but the picture quality was poorer.
And this is a video of the song IN the actual show. Nifty. Dont the costumes crack you up? 😀
The only lyric apart from the name of the song i could translate on my own was where they sing ‘jour apres jour, nuit apres nuit’ (day after day, night after night). haha
