Here's a blurb about a 2004 performance by Lola Perrin on allaboutjazz.com http://www.allaboutjazz.com/php/article.php?id=16044 It seems she sang an Eno composition entitled, "Forced to Choose" which, according to enoweb.co.uk, was an unreleased work-in-progress in 2001 played on Michael Engelbrecht's Klanghorizonte radio programme in Germany. Does anybody on the list have a copy of this broadcast? There were apparently two other unreleased songs on the show, too...

Here are the verses : Les nenuphars froisses soupirent autour d'elle ; Elle eveille parfois, dans un aune qui dort, Quelque nid, d'oy s'echappe un petit frisson d'aile : Un chant mysterieux tombe des astres d'or. O pale Ophelia ! belle comme la neige ! Oui tu mourus, enfant, par un fleuve emporte ! C'est que les vents tombant des grand monts de Norvege T'avaient parle tout bas de l'apre liberte ; C'est qu'un souffle, tordant ta grande chevelure, A ton esprit reveur portait d'etranges bruits ; Que ton coeur ecoutait le chant de la Nature Dans les plaintes de l'arbre et les soupirs des nuits ; ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 15 Mar 2005 21:56:15 +0100 From: "Charly" Subject: [AVALON] Poetry I was intrigued by the poem murmured in the background at the end of "I'm in the mood for love". For those interested in, a close listening indicates the verses come from the poem "Ophelie" by Arthur Rimbaud. Here are the verses you can "listen to" (I have replaced the marked characters) : Sur l'onde calme et noire ou dorment les etoiles (...) Flotte tres lentement, couchee en ses longs voiles (...) Voici plus de mille ans que la triste Ophelie (...) Voici plus de mille ans que sa douce folie (...) Murmure sa romance a la brise du soir (...) Tu viens chercher, la nuit, les fleurs que tu cueillis (...) Un chant mysterieux tombe des astres d'or (...) You can find the whole poem at : http://www.mag4.net/Rimbaud/poesies/Ophelie.html And even have a glance at the original manuscript at : http://michel.balmont.free.fr/pedago/rimbaudouai/autres-ms/banville13.html It's one of the most famous Rimbaud's poems but it is also a very sad and tragical story which will never lead you to the mood of love...
