Pierrot

Here's another beautiful french song. It's been out for a while, but for some reason I only stumbled upon the music video recently. It's from Loïc Lantoine, who I gather has morphed into a collective of four showmen (?!).



The song tells about friendship and how it can bring solace. In the song, Pierrot never fails to come in times of despair to offer the singer some kind of ineffable support, each time embodied in the delicate and pure guitar arpeggios that end the choruses. The clip actually makes this friend much more ambivalent and imaginary, playing with an old french lullaby.
