You can think whatever you want about Taylor Swift but no lyric has ever captured my depressive years quite like, "I cry a lot but I am so productive, it's an art."
I included a few details from Legrand’s orchestration of the original film score that never made it into subsequent arrangements, like the double-time swing against the vibraphone & celesta ostinato at the end. (I mean come on — it’s too good *not* to use!)
I have always wanted to hear @cecilesalvant sing this with full orchestra, so I suggested it to her for this project. Be the change you want to hear in the world, I guess!
Michel Legrand is a huge hero of mine and so it was a real privilege to work on this arrangement of his immortal theme from “Les Parapluies de Cherbourg” (AKA “I Will Wait For You” in English) for @cecilesalvant11 and @ONDIF.
