Voice Teacher Reaction to Pomme - Les Oiseaux - Session Acoustique par Bruxelles Ma Belle 

Lyrics in french (from Pomme) then English translation: Les Oiseaux Si les rues sont si grandes C'est pour respirer J'ai un oiseau dans le ventre Je l'ai transporté jusqu'à toi pour le sauver Quand tombe sur tes cils Un voile de flocons C'est le froide qui habille Les toits des maisons quand le ciel te fait des dons C'est un endroit rêvé pour les oiseaux Ils viennent s'y reposer quand leur cœur est gros J'ai frappé à ta porte Sans te prévenir À l'âge des amours mortes T'as su m'accueillir dans tes bras, me guérir Je reviendrais m'étendre Près du Parc Laurier Si tu savais m'attendre On se marierait quelque part au mois de mai C'est un endroit rêvé pour les oiseaux Ils viennent s'y reposer quand leur cœur est gros À mon encrage rêvé après le cahot Je viens te retrouver comme les oiseaux Lyrics translated in English The Birds Verse 1] If the streets are so big It's to breathe I have a bird in my stomach I transported it To you to save it When on your lashes falls A sailing snowflake It's the cold that dresses The roofs of the house When the sky makes you gifts [Chorus] It's an ideal place, for the birds They come to rest there When their heart is big Verse 2] I knocked at your door Without warning you In the age of dead love You knew how to pick me In your arms to heal me I will come back to stretch out Near the Parc Laurier If you know to wait for me We will get married Somewhere in the month of May Chorus] It's an ideal place, for the birds They come to rest there When their heart is big [Verse 3] To my ideal anchorage, after the chaos I come to find you, like the birds Ah, ah ah ah, ah ah Ah, ah ah ah, ah Ah, ah ah ah, ah ah Ah, ah ah ah, ah Hmm, hmm-hmm

Great reaction! I’m really glad you discovered her full vocal range which was little bit in the shadows with Aurora to favor a perfect harmony. This recording was in fact made in Belgium, in a chapel of a cemetery from Brussels, the belgian capital. Cathedrals are way bigger in fact. As you suspected rightly, she is a total artist package. As an instrumentalist, she plays beautifully autoharp, guitar, cello, piano, banjo, vocoder, … She discovered autoharp when she was 14yo, because she was/is a fan of Joan Baez. She likes to play mainly acoustic songs all by herself but has some great songs with 2 other girls ( electric bass and drums) as well. As a songwriter, she took the lead and composed and wrote all songs of her second album (she did it for only 2 songs from her first one) and is now finsihing to record her soon-to-be-released 3rd album. Her second album Les Failles was elected best france newcomer album in 2020 and one year later Pomme was elected best female artist of 2021. Her lyrics are very poetic, she is used to write sad songs but she said there is always hope in it, sometimes it his obvious and at the surface, sometimes you have to dig down to find it. She also, as Aurora, has some connection to the nature but in her case she uses the nature analogy to speak about her state of mind or her own story. This reflects in the titles of her songs. For example: - Les oiseaux/ the birds - les cours d’eau / the flaws - La lumière / the light - les Sequoias - La lavande / the lavender - Soleil soleil / the sun - … I will post a separate comment with her french lyrics and the english translation for Les Oiseaux. The song is about Montreal and the quebec region in Canada, how restful and uplifting this place is. She found there a second home and now lives 6 month there and 6 months in France. I will also post a comment with some recommendations for your next reaction to her, you will discover how (multi) talented she is. I really believe she is as amazing as Aurora. They will for sure make a great pair if they continue to collab. By the way, Billie Eilish told on a french radio she is a great fan of Pomme and transmitted her phone number to her. Final note here: Pomme’s real name is Claire Pommet so you see where she found his scene nickname 😀 pomme means Apple in french.

Pomme has such beautiful songs 🥹 they are so so well-written, I would recommend you to look up the translations to fully enjoy them. French is a very poetic language when it’s “well used”. In case you didn’t know, there’s a sort of sub-genre in France (it’s kind of “dead” now) called “chanson à texte”, which is basically the coexistence of poetry and music. Lyrics are predominant in the song, and most are poems adapted into songs or songs written by actual poets (such as “Les Feuilles Mortes” sung by Yves Montand and written by Jacques Prévert, Léo Ferré’s “Verlaine et Rimbaud” and “Les Chansons d’Aragon”, etc). I think this deep relationship with lyrics/songwriting kind of forged French people’s and singers’ love for impactful lyrics with an emotional delivery. You’ll hear less “big voices” in France (as in singers like Aretha Franklin, Christina Aguilera, Bruno Mars, John Legend, etc.), but more vocalists who adapt their vocal technique to support the lyrics. Sometimes minimizing it to express weakness and fragility. I’ve come across many non-French people who would disrespect some of our greatest (old) French singers because “they lack technique”, but I think these people just don’t have the chance to connect with the message the singers want to share. Perhaps the musical approach is just too different in France.

She has a richness that she and Aurora bend beautifully with Auroras airy ethereal quality.

I like her every song especially "de là‐haut".

Merci de faire connaitre et apprécier Pomme au public anglophone Thank you for making Pomme known and appreciated by the English-speaking public.

The kind of cathedral you're talking about (big gothic ones) is especially found in northern France and Europe, in the south these are a bit smaller roman style, but beautiful as well.

The moment I've been looking for.

Yes, another great singer! I personally recommend you to discover Eivør ... from Far Oer. Of course, live performances. Trollabundin, Falling Free, True Love. She is great!!

This is why I love the French language but I moved to Greece in 2003. Oh well it's warmer here!

Haha those lyrics were funny

Sorry I just left you a long comment on the video you made about her duet with Aurora. Don't worry your pronunciation is perfect and she can also write in English :) Her evolution is stunning but I'm still looking for live videos with a good song and that"s not easy... By the way she's very creative and her universe is very rich and deep. She's a composer and a songwriter, also a producer of her own music. Her universe is kind of magic and full of poetry and emotions. Thank you so much for sharing this.

Pomme's versatility is simply astounding.

(find her singing "Jambalaya" or the "Indian Love Song" ;)

The other day I learnt Pomme is French for Apple.

Would REALLY LOVE to hear your thoughts on Beth Hart... preferably Joe & Beth Live From Amsterdam... "I'd Rather Go Blind" ... I believe you will DEFINITELY want to see more afterwards. Thx

those auto translations are trying to interpret her French singing as English words. Better turn them off.

Hello Valerie, I first got to know and love Pomme through AURORA. I don't understand a word of French. But I do not care. Her beautiful voice and the wonderful music are enough for me. When I have time, I look for the lyrics and let Google translate them for me. I'm not sure that's always right. But that's how I understand a few things. Many songs are sad. I can recommend the following songs: - On Brûlera - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ySAsCIyp90Y.html - It's about lesbian love - Pauline - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vDn4tf0-CpI.html - Une minute - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-JdoUHEwNtQI.html - Pomme plays a guitar and choir - "Göttingen" - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dhrBINKuTE4.html - Pomme with an orchestra - a declaration of love to the German city "Göttingen" - Désenchantée - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8i33JhPCsMA.html - Pomme live with the guitar - title "disillusioned" - Grandiose - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6BStGmBt3a8.html - live --The song starts like this: Since I don't have the right I want a child in my belly. I certainly should sometimes Hide this lust, so great and threatening. Ever since my friends lied to me Tell me that I am like the others I want a child in my belly That we love each other, that we have a (Grandios) great life. -- (chorus) (Grandios) Great the life I invented To you, The life that is sold to us well mapped out. Such a life does not exist ah... Have a nice day and Greetings from Germany
