It’s a song that resembles us. Carla Bruni, like a fairy tale

Carla Bruni, a former top model who made her singing debut with the album “Quelqu’un m’a dit” in 2002, saw her career become terribly romantic – especially in foreign eyes – because of her love affair with the President of the Republic.

In partnership with the exhibition It’s a song that resembles us – Worldwide hits of French-language popular music At the Cité internationale de la langue française in Villers-Cotterêts, these chronicles look in detail at each of the stories presented there.

“But I’m not here, no, no, no, no. I’m at Keith and Anita’s. It’s the end of summer, but it’s still mild, by Jove. Someone is drinking rosé and someone is playing the harmonica. How good it is to exist.”. It is easy to understand why one would want to be at Keith and Anita’s, like Carla Bruni. She evokes real characters, Keith Richards, guitarist of the Rolling Stones, and his companion Anita Pallenberg, model, actress, stylist, the sublime beauty on the arm of a vaguely Mephistophelian genius.

It’s 1970 and there are drugs at Keith and Anita’s, but Carla Bruni doesn’t touch them. She also says in the song that she wasn’t born yet, but we can say that if she had been old enough at the time, she would have been there at Keith and Anita’s in the middle of the beautiful people and artists in tune with the times. After all, it is probably her destiny to be where all eyes are on her, but with a little something romantic that thwarts the scripts written in advance.
