Is this like the French Iron and Wine or something?

I love this album! Quite different from the previous ones, but so good. Most of the band members are from Bordeaux area, most famous for their wines, South-West of France, and as most of the French having to be in the Capital for a reason or another, home is the dearest place, full of memories, roots and sprouts... Here is a translation by Lyricstranslate website (here http://lyricstranslate.com/fr/l039enfant-roi-king-child.html) The King ChildI only know one thing
You hold my joy, my pain in your hands. You are the breath, the link,
my king child, my magician. Nothing belongs to me
(But) To the south I return Drowned in the heart of crowds
It's in your river that I flow across. When all the golden bridges collapse
It's from your air that I get drunk Nothing belongs to me
(But) To the south I return I run through and include
The Unkown territories. My country, my blood, my street
are in your eyes, I saw them. |

The sparse instrumental spaces are quite intoxicating. This is verrrrrrrrry entertaining.

I knew there was a reason why I liked this station. How many American stations play such a good variety of international music?

I attend a Fete du Bois Festival near here and the hat de rigueur is a beret complete with froggy eyes. Mine however says "Arrogant Frog", not that I am even French, but I like their wines. |

Thangs god it's being played on some American radios (that's how it might be said in our multicultural home). Just joking with the non-native English speakers. Lord knows I can turn any foreign language I try to speak into barfed up word salad (sorry for that unfortunate but accurate image). Often I can do the same with English and I'm 'nAmerican
man, I really bet some people on this board wish I had a little more work to do today.
Actually, I'm rather grateful for your comment - it made me laugh because I am so linguistically-challenged that I can barely speak English. I am, however, fluent in gobblydegook, and I'm mastering folderolandfiddlededee. |

The chords and the melody. I thought for sure it was just a translated version of Spider Web. |

I can hear a similarity. I love this song! Only hear it here on RP — and my own collection now that I've downloaded it.  |
