CHARLES AZNAVOUR * HIER ENCORE
Ah, one of my favourite anti-war songs I like Joan Baez version also, even though I'm not a great fan of her in general, being mostly a cover musician as it is the case with Judy Collins. But I can't deny that she did a brilliant cover of this particular song:
By the way, there's another of my favourites that I'm always reminded of when it comes to anti-war songs (or such songs that can bring a lump to my throat). It's a heart-wrenching account of an Australian soldier who had fought in the Battle of Gallipoli and returned without a leg:
There's another version I like more than this one, however, sung with a bit stronger pathos (and stronger accents, pronouncing "maimed" as "maheemed" or "man" as "mahn"). I've tried to search it on Youtube for sometime but I've been unsuccessful so far. If anyone know such a version, please let me know!
On a side note, there are two different 'Matilda songs' that I like beside this one. Maybe I should post them here sometime later.

Love Aznavour. And so many french singers - reminds me so much of my childhood. Jacques Brel (ok Belgian) moustaqi, Barbara etc. And of course Francois Hardie.
Oh dear. Having found this thread, I fear I could spend all day filling it up........
But let's start with a beautiful song which rather fits the title of the thread
Thank you - how could I forget Brassens!!! And Yves Duteil? And of course Charles Trenet! So many!! Current favourite is Zaz.I love him too, as most of the frenchies do. And of course Jacques Brel, the french definitely favorite belgian, and Georges Brassens (you need to be rather fluent in french to appreciate his marvelous lyrics and those of some others favorites of mine : Léo Ferré, Claude Nougaro, Barbara, Serge gainsbourg, Alain Bashung (another belgian by the way) and Françoise Hardy (not François -male first name- nor Hardie -adjective that means "bold" or "daring").
Lets pepper things up!
Oh, yes! I haven't seen a live recording of them performing that, but I would really like to! I found several audio-only versions though, of which I think this one is the bestYes it’s brilliant isn’t it. So is their version of ‘dancing cheek to cheek’ - used to be on YouTube but sadly I can’t find it now

Je suis très désolé. Mais, bien sûr, en ces jours de fluidité de genre.....you've changed her gender!
