You have to do everything to prevent them from suffering.”he confides.
His album is more introspective and intimate. “In recent years I have had romantic and personal experiences that have obviously nourished me. (…) Just the right amount of sobs for a guitar tune, just the right amount of regrets for the slightest song”continues Thomas Dutronc, citing the song “Il n’y a pas d’amour heureux” which was notably performed by Françoise Hardy.
