Bonjour la vie !

Description

"Two words of love for you... After preaching in numerous churches and for years about the beauty of God and His creation (and it's not over), after writing book after book (and it continues), I return to you, but this time in music, to offer your days and nights a burst of songs, spontaneously springing from my heart and my piano. What do you want? We always return to our first loves! For years, in my youth (which lasts!), I sang the most beautiful French songs from cabarets to piano bars, and I have seen with my own eyes the beneficial and recreative power of words when they are adorned with melodies. On this earth, we do not sing enough! We let ourselves be caught up in the game of worries and dramas that, by laying down their cards, would like to plunge us into gloom and even despair! Well, no! Life is beautiful! And it remains so, no matter what happens! Love, joy, enthusiasm, are within reach of hands and hearts, and these thirteen songs want to shout it out in every tone! Goodbye dullness! Goodbye spleen and dejection! May faces brighten, may sorrows be forgotten, may new ideas come to shake up the course of our too dull lives, and may we finally dare to say to ourselves: Hello life! I embrace you all and each one and invite you to the side of poetry and happiness to be gathered. Father Michel-Marie who sings for you!" IN THE GREAT TRADITION OF FRENCH SONG, 13 songs written, composed, sung by Father Michel-Marie. A message of optimism, poetic, moving, and often funny..! "A poet in a cassock" Le Figaro. Surprise! An album by Father Michel-Marie, surrounded by old friends met during his life as a cabaret singer, before the religious call led him to other horizons. An artist at heart, accomplished musician, lover of French song, cabaret singer in his youth, writer and highly regarded speaker, it is a rich and atypical spirit that is at work here. "Guided" by strong convictions, endowed with a warm contact and attentive to others, full of joy for life and the desire to share the values that animate him, Father Michel-Marie carries enthusiasm as much through his artistic talents as through his committed message. A rich orchestration, a warm and uplifting voice, contagious joy, quality texts, vibrant, moving, often full of humor and poetry, speaking to the heart of everyday life, with accents reminiscent of Trenet or Montand, surfing on many musical registers, but above all with his own style. A tonic and optimistic album, useful in these times! Father Michel-Marie in a few words: His fame has spread in the Christian world as a priest. One example: April 2016, at the Saint-Sulpice Church, 4000 people gather to listen to one of his conferences. But this man of God does not limit himself to church naves; he goes out to meet his peers outside the Church. Thanks to his books - 15 to his credit - he reaches a wider audience, often unfamiliar with faith, achieving an average of 20,000 to 40,000 sales. His work as a man and priest has not escaped the media. Two examples: Le Figaro Littéraire: "The Hussar of Christ!" Le Point: "This priest is the bomb!". On the road of music - this extraordinary priest, with a strong humanity and unwavering faith, moves forward at great strides, eager to speak to the greatest number often overwhelmed by worries and dramas. Father Michel-Marie sweeps away the prevailing pessimism that so easily dominates today.
