Some songs can be listened to over and over again, time after time, and for me La Javanaise, by the enigmatic french crooner Serge Gainsbourg, is one of them.
La Javanaise, a dance, a fictitious dance, a phonological dance, a dance of words.
Serge's ears, as well as being a protruding burden he carried around with him, hear a beauty in language which he catches in his net and lets fly in our direction, but only les temps d'un chanson.
