Phil Barney: a child of you
Before getting dressed up to go to the Foire Expo de Bergerac, we spoke with Phil Barney. One of the emblematic artists of those years who will be on stage on Saturday.
France Bleu Périgord: Phil Barney you are necessarily associated with A child of you…
Phil Barney: It took me a short time to write it. It was one morning, I was in my kitchen, sitting. It is in the morning that I write most easily, with a clear mind.
It was a morning, it was the month of February (as in the lyrics of the song, editor’s note)…
Not really. But as February 2 is my birthday, I went on this delirium. I have absolutely no idea why, how, why I wrote this song? I was living a story that never ended. I imagined this story and I wrote it in ten minutes on a corner of the table. Words and music. It’s a song that served me a lot with the girls at that time, because it made them all crack. I didn’t stop fishing, it was war (laughs). Just kidding…I put that song on a tape, along with about 15 other songs. My producer at the time fell for this song. The adventure was dazzling…
Did you imagine that we would still sing it in 2022?
Not at all. This song has become my banner. Sometimes it’s a bit heavy because people only talk to you about this song, even if you offer songs for which you have worked a lot… we always refer to A child of you. But I owe everything to this song. If I still exist today artistically, it is largely because of this song. I owe him everything.
