The Playlisted Reloaded

Guilt has consumed me in this specific endeavor and this post is an absolution.

I have some music that I would like to share with you. My friends know that I love
Serge Gainsbourg. His music is poetry and his poetry music.

An artist has come to try and fill Serge's white jazz shoes after a long while. His name is Benjamin Biolay. The subject matter is the same: mostly love and at times, explicit and graphic love. Living in different times, I don't think people are as easily shocked as they once were.

Serge Gainsbourg- Je t'aime, moi non plus

Benjamin Biolay- Dans la Merco Benz

Differences? Similarities?
