Subject: RE: Obit: François Hardy From: GUEST,Rossey Date: 12 Jun 24 - 05:56 AM Francoise Hardy's voice transports me to a lost imagined world of 60's stripy tops, smoky basement cafes, onion shaped bottles with candles, and the cool French singer hunched over a guitar. The epitome of cool. She wrote intimate songs of wistfulness and melancholy that crossed seas. 'All over the world' and 'Tous Les Garcons Et Les Filles', are just beautiful - like the lady herself. She may be gone, but Her music lives on and captures an era of 60's pop/folk crossover - though she continued to write and perform in different decades and musical styles. RIP |

Subject: RE: Obit: François Hardy From: Georgiansilver Date: 12 Jun 24 - 07:13 AM I met her on a school exchange scheme... Wrote this a few years back. My Forever Love, Francoise Hardy. Oh my love Francoise, you made me this way Thinking about you day after day. I know when it started and the reasons why, I was only fourteen but I had a good eye. I spotted you filming on the River Seine, You kissed my cheek and I didn’t complain I played all the tracks, on your LPs so great The sound of your voice had decided my fate. I looked at your picture each day from the start, And soon realised you had stolen my heart. Although aware that you could never be mine. I was consumed with a passion, a love so divine,(OK so it was a crush!!) I wanted you to think, about me the same way, As I thought about you, every magical day. Though fully aware, that this could never be, I knew in my mind, l would never be free. I’d like to forget you, but I never will, I still play your music and think of you still. Michael J Hill March 2020.(c) Rest in peace beautiful lady. |

Subject: RE: Obit: Francoise Hardy (1944-2024) From: Eric the Viking Date: 15 Jun 24 - 12:24 PM Age catches us all, sad to hear of her passing. I was a boy of 18 years when she stood next to me in Grand Prix at Brands Hatch, though I was never a huge fan. |
