people have asked me about the history of this particular french rap song...
and i'm so proud of it...
no its not part of live8, or some feed the children foundation...
it is actually from sex and the city...
one of the songs during the finale of the show...
the episode...
the FINAL episode...
see's carrie all alone in paris...
all dressed up but no lover in sight...
lover (alexander petrovsky) is a russian artist who is in paris to show case his light installation...
as carrie romes the city of light all alone...
she stares into the class window of a bookstore...
and viola...
she see's her book published in french and being sold there...
she is shocked that people in the store recognises her and they decided to throw a party in honour of miss sex and the city, Carrie Bradshaw.
she tells the rusian lover about her fans, and wants him to meet them...
but lover was busy with his opening of the light installation to the museum curator...
the following night, as she's about to leave...
she sees lover having a panic attack...
he then asked her to accompany him to the museum and to never let go of his hand...
reluctanly, she gives in and accompanys him to the museum...
ditching her dinner party...
as they arrive at the museum...
they are warmly greated by the museum curator...
who starts praising the russian's work...
as the curator reached out to shake the russian's hand...
he lets go of carrie's...
siting alone again...
in her Balenciaga moss green sequined cocktail gown...
as she tries to find her lighter...
she starts to feel through a tear in her vintage dior clutch circa 1950s...
the tear happened when she fell in dior a week earlier and she lost her famous carrie necklace...
as she starts to feel something...
THIS FRENCH SONG starts to play...
and from the tear in her dior, she pulls out her carrie necklace...
she then realizes that what she was looking for wasn;t in paris...
she dashes out of the museum...
spriting across the road in her strapy silver manolos...
as she stops in the middle of the road...
mr big drives past her....
and when she turns...
his car was gone...
rushing to the restaurant where her dinner party was held...
she found an empty but used table...
and there with wine stains all over it...
her book...
as she walks into her hotel suite...
her lover acts as if everything was ok and that he didn't understand why she ran off like that...
lover:" i thought i was always clear about who i am."
carrie:" maybe its time to be clear about who i am... i am someone who is looking for love... real love...ridiculous...inconvenient...consumming...can't-live-without-each-other... love...and i don't think that love is here in this expensive suite..in this lovely hotel...in paris..."
well you've got to find out what happens that but yea...
thats why i love the song...
and everytime i heard it on my ipod, i picture the whole scene and it gives me goosebumps...
