Good to see you posting in this forum again, VEGANGELICA.

That first song is really nice; soothing voice and beautiful piano with nothing else to clutter it up. Yes, "I carry you around like a belt of explosives or a baby kangaroo" is certainly an unusual take on romance.

I'm curious as to why a song in French has been titled "Mayday". As I understand it, this otherwise inexplicable distress call is an Anglicization of the French original, "M' aidez", meaning "Help me", which is a far more logical thing to say when you are lost at sea. Has Émile P-C's song title been changed in the same way, I wonder?
