Really? It took me a while (overwhelmed by everything else), but I like it more and more over time. I just like the sound of it. I'll have to read the translation again (mostly don't know what she's saying). I think it is a song a guy could sing, too. That will make a difference for me.

So, then I took a quick trot on over to YouTube and - well - you all know what I found. I kind of feel . . . I don't know, that that was a kind of bad route to go and I wished I'd found out about her through another channel/resource. Anyway, pop's not usually my thing - but there's just something enchanting about Alizée. Is that the right word? Maybe, well - she just seems so sweet.
There's sort of this close friend feeling I get when I watch her videos. I know that probably makes no sense, but she's just . . . eh, like someone you feel you can trust with anything?
Trust me - I'm not this way with celebrities. I'm not a fan of fame and I'm not one to write my praises of people who've achieved it, for the most part. But there's just something unique about Lili. Hard to place my finger on it, but . . . well, you all have been stung by it at one time or another.

I think something like this has been said by about 3/4 of the people on the site!

Welcome - and sorry about the long delay -

Welcome to all the New Alizée fans!

Just realized I haven't posted here yet.

I'm Brian. I live in the SF Bay Area, nearer San Jose than San Francisco actually. I'm a salesperson working out of my house, and an aspiring writer. I have a novel a little over half-finished that I hope to complete by the end of this summer and begin agent-shopping for.

The really interesting thing is that this novel, and my writing in general, were paralyzed for four years. My block was caused by a disastrous relationship with a woman, and one of the things I used to do with her was to bounce my writing off her. So afterwards, every time I tried to write, it would bring back those memories, and I just couldn't do it. I also gained a lot of weight, unconsciously I think to make myself less attractive to women, and have managed to avoid romantic relationships for those four years.

So what changed all that? Alizée did, or at least she was the fulcrum of the change. Like many of you, I found she had a profound effect on my feelings, not fully explainable by anything obvious about her, although I believe I do know where it comes from. And at some point, the part of me that had been revolving painfully around my ex let go of her, and I found myself moved to write a poem. And ever since then, the block is gone. I've also lost most of the weight I gained. It was after that I started posting here, and reading what other people have written, to try to understand this person who had such a positive effect on me.

I'm one of the older people on this forum, but I'm not going to tell you how old. I'll have some pics of myself to post in a week or so, and you can all guess.

A Contre Courant is my favorite song of Alizée's. I don't see anything dark in it at all. And I understand completely the equation of love with electricity; the currents that bind and connect us with each other, and the powerful effect when two minds merge -- Mon isolant C'est la passion; it is only in acceptance of the current and not trying to fight it, only in the passion, that we are safe in such a storm. Just to cite one of many phrases of significance.

I agree deepwaters, there is definately something mysterious about her; it's something mysteriously affecting, changing, influencing... for the better. I am enchanted and mesmorized by her.

90% of my clients are there, so yes, I know it very well indeed. Although my territory extends as far as Carmel.

Sure have. I took my daughters there a few years ago. It's so bizarre mainly because old lady Winchester, heiress to the gun fortune, believed that she would never die as long as she kept construction going on the house. So it's an amazing sprawl.

She was wrong, by the way.

So Rocket, whereabouts do you live? You seem at least passingly familiar with NoCal.

Welcome Deepwaters, thank you for your introduction.

Im editing this becuase my post was pretty bland



My name is Korey, I was born on April 2nd 1988, in New Jersey. I grew up in Texas, and live here at the moment. My mom was born in Angers, France, but she moved to the US with with my grandparents when she was only two. My dad who was born in New York, got me interested in football at an early age, and I played peewee, all the way up to my senior year. During one of my last practices with the team, I fumbled the ball during a play ,and i went to get it, and got down on my knee, and I was tackled by a friend of mine, who weighs over three hundred pounds, the impact was so strong it knocked my kneecap lose, and making my tissue there fragile for the rest of my life, my football career was over. I was in the hospital for one week becuase of surgery, and they had to dress my incision every day, becuase it was so huge, and could not closed, well partially. Anyways for the week I was in the hospital, I got news from my mom, that she talked to the athletic director of UT, and Texas Tech, and the schools both declined my scholarship because I would no longer be able to play. I became severaly depressed, and I needed to find something to keep me occupied for awhile. A couple days before I got out of the hospital, my mom brought in some of my music, and hers. She listened to Mylene, and then put in a CD I never heard before. It was Gourmandises, I fell in love immediately. Her music brightened up my days, and I found something I could enjoy again, good music

Sorry if this story seemed long and random, i just thought i should explain how I discovered Alizee
