I would have liked to be an artist. Another song of my youth that made me dream.
I just wanted to go to the School of Fine Arts. It was not allowed, my father did not want me to.
He used to say it was a school of perdition. Kind of had three choices, teacher (hated school), nurse (they said I had too much of an artist temperament and refused me). I was left with the secretarial course and learn French. It was not the same thing, it was far away from my dreams. That french song 'Le Blues du Businessman' gave me hope, I did not wish to find myself at forty with regrets and broken dreams.
Whenever I had a 'down' I listened to it and it allowed me not to give up, not to get discouraged and little by little, I was able to leave space in my life and allowed myself to be creative, whether it was writing, painting...I did not let the artist die in me.
Also met at the right time, right moments in my life, great artists who have inspired me to continue, to make efforts...eventually, I started working in the film business...
So you, this beautiful youth, who have the opportunity to express yourself as an artist, appreciate this beautiful gift, this talent that has been offered to you by life.
Listen to this beautiful french song, even if you may not understand all the words, your soul, your heart will understand. It will make you dream too and help you make the right choices before it is too late, in fact it's never too late...
