Tango With Lions – L’Ombre
Don’t talk to me of love. Let’s talk of Paris,
The little bit of Paris in our view.
There’s that crack across the ceiling
And the hotel walls are peeling
And I’m in Paris with you.
James Fenton
“The Light” is the third album from Tango With Lions. I haven’t spent as much time as I would like with it yet but first impressions are very positive and I’m sure I’ll come back to it here again soon. In the meantime, the closing track “L’Ombre” has struck a resounding chord with me. It’s a fragmented dream, shrouded in Gauloises smoke, as Citroën H Vans rattle down the cobbled boulevards, the dawn fleetingly reveals our protagonist, hugging the shadows, forever wedded to the night.
