Day 3 - your favourite winning entry

1971 Monaco: Séverine - Un banc, un arbre, une rue (A bench, a tree, a street)

I guess this song is just classy. The songwriting aspect of this song is very clever.

The song is very clevery written and seems very simple, which of course it is not.
Firstly we start with the chorus, although asafe start as it gets the ear worm inside your head and it is then able to be repeated more that the normal 2 times. The verses are also very clever. The repitition on the past part of each line is something that can then be used to get the listener involved. Now I am not the biggest fan of 'al-la-la' but in this case it really adds something to the song. By doing this at the end it emphasisies the orchestration and slight chord changes in the music that would not be identifyable if she was singing.

Severine really belts out this song and the song itself really shows off her vocal abilty, tone and control. It also looks like she is passionate about the song and its meaning (the loss of childhood)
