Thread Name: Origin: Monochrome (Yann Tiersen)
Subject: 'Monochrome' by Yann Tiersen
Hello,

we are at present working on an acoustic version of Yann Tiersen's "Monochrome" with our our irish/celtic folk band. I would be grateful for hints about the background of that song. We also found the allocation of syllables on the melody quite amazing ( a lot of unstressed syllables on accentuated notes) and wonder, was this done on purpose or did he as a non-native speaker simply neglect this consideration?

Kind regards
Johannes
