Imagine an actor saying the following
Imagine me saying the following
When Debussy died on March the 25th 1918 in Paris
It was being bombarded by the Germans
And it was raining
Il pleure dans mon coeur
Comme il pleut sur la ville
[And it’s weeping in my heart]
[Like it’s raining in the town]
It was raining
Il pleure dans mon coeur
Comme il pleut sur la ville
Il pleure dans mon coeur
Comme il pleut sur la ville
And it was raining
And it’s weeping in my heart
Like it’s raining in the town
It rains
Il pleure dans mon coeur
Comme il pleut sur la ville
It rains
Il pleure dans mon coeur
Comme il pleut sur la ville
It rains
???
Weeping in my heart
Like it’s raining
It rains
Il pleure dans mon coeur
Comme il pleut sur la ville
It rains
???
Eventually Claude Debussy was recognised as one of the greatest composers of his time
Today he is more than that
He is considered not only the greatest French composer who ever lived
He is considered the revolutionary who set 20th century music on its way
On its way
