The Living Road

by Lhasa de Sela

The second album by Lhasa is a work of beautiful melancholy. I love her voice. Her Spanish singing is full of passion; in English, she sings with cute accent; but I like her French songs most. They are sensual, restrained, ironic. Best of all, La Confession.

Je n’ai pas peur De dire que je t’ai trahi Par pure paresse Par pure mélancolie Qu’entre toi Et le diable J’ai choisi le plus Confortable Mais tout cela N’est pas pourquoi Je me sens coupable Mon cher ami La confession
