The Main Mix
MG, I love Radio Paradise!
When this cover first began playing, I was shocked that Bill had queued it up to follow Amy's "Back to Black." I do understand ChrisVIII's perception, and I think I could have felt the same way.
But I almost immediately began to appreciate the subtleties of feeling evoked in me by hearing Coeur de Pirate's gentle cover WHILE Amy's more forceful original played contrast in my head; like a bass line played on my mental and emotional "strings.".
Exquisite segue, Bill! I, for one, am floored!
Thank you.
I totally agree. Bill is a genius!
just play whatever you like, if i don't like it i PSD.
Thanks again !
I totally agree. Lee Hazelwood’s profound voice made it in this song.
What exactly are you not free from? If the anglophone portions of our country enacted legislation to ensure the use of English in the same manner that Quebec has done for French, the cries of horror could be heard all the way to Trois-Rivières.
You know, there is a french enclave in Manchester NH that has managed to thrive and survive all these years without any protections from the language that surrounds them. Stick that in your libre.
So after reading your multiple posts on this ... I'm getting the feeling you'd want to add another singer?
Please stop making this comment... it was fine as a single post ....
This version isn't bad in itself but it suffers from direct comparison...
Agreed, in fact, hearing this today without Amy before or after, my 6 is now a 7, and who knows, maybe next time it'll be an 8! Long Live RP!!
...and how does one get a nickname of "Pirate's Heart" anyways?

Good point.
Dear motoboy145:
No. I don't take myself that serious(ly). Whatever "that" is. Do you - when people are just expressing their opinion about a song?
Sincerely,
Dangerously Serious

It's a good version, but like most here, I prefer the Sinatra/Hazlewood version, which also features the horn flourishes from the theme song from "Thunderball" (by Tom Jones) in it. Coincidentally, Nancy would do the theme song for Connery's next Bond film.
The Sinatra version borders on iconic.
If Cœur de pirate's thing is la chanson française as per the wiki entry, maybe RP should play some of that music?
Fun fact: I never thought it would be even close to a "photo finish" as to which artist was more "tatted up", Amy or Béatrice Martin (aka Couer de Pirate).
