Music that touches the soul... Zachary Richard

I have been a fan of Zachary Richard for as long as I can remember. I grew up listening to some of this songs, and his incredible voice and warm cajun - French Louisiana accent just reaches you deep in your soul.

I somehow lost touch with him over the years and in my quest to take better care of my body and of my soul, I rediscovered him again recently.

I have many favorites of his, but this song here "Pleine Lune en décembre" - Full Moon in December, set on a wonderful photo-montage) is so beautiful, I wanted to share it with you.

If you do not know Zachary Richard (he has albums in French as well as in English), give him a chance to haunt your soul... you won't regret it...





(I'm editing this post to add a copy of the lyrics - in English - from Zachary's website:)

Pleine lune en décembre
Full moon in December

You say that you need space
In your cabin all alone.
You say that your heart is too full.
Like the full moon in December.

The owls and the foxes
Have turned white for the winter.
White like the light of my pain,
White like the light of death.

The moon shines on the snow.
And the night is so long.
The eagle flies toward the sun,
Abandonning his shadow.

In the streets of Montreal,
A thief runs beneath the street lamps.
A phantom that I follow
In a dream that I have lost.

In New Orleans,
A bird sings after midnight,
The song of my soul
In the garden of my heart.

Zachary Richard, Les Editions du Marais Bouleur
