Artists to whom he rightly refers in his last album, like the title "Chanson pour Jacques".

It's a playful and dynamic song, but just as melancholy. In "Te resembler", a title from his last album released on October 16, Francis Cabrel pays homage to his father and says: "You were never my age, you worked too hard for that every hour of the day at the factory, at the entrance to the village in the evening two gardens at a time, and all that so that your children eat, I know that, I was there. "Guest of Michel Denisot on Saturday, the singer agreed to come back to this melody, evoking at the same time his link with Alain Souchon and his homage to Jacques Dutronc .

"Saying 'I know I was there' is very Souchon. I listen to it often, it's also one of my icons. And I find that the language he invented means that from time to time, he is placed in contexts where we do not expect him. And I in my song, I insist on the fact that I know it well, since I am the number one witness ", he explained.

Also questioned on the song dedicated to Jacques Dutronc in his last opus, Francis Cabrel explained little to know the artist personally: "I met him exactly one minute thirty before paying him a tribute on TV, there are perhaps four or five years in Corsica. We met backstage because I wanted to at least get to know him a few minutes before singing for him ", remembers the artist.

" But I have always admired this guy. First for his songs when I was 17, 18, 20 and during all his collaboration with Lanzmann. And then for his attitude, which was a model: detachment, derision, the second, third degree. We do something serious, we apply ourselves to making songs, but they are only songs in the end ", continued Francis Cabrel.

Before concluding:" I think what he left is the desire to laugh. Life is already complicated enough so we might as well take it lightly, and our jobs allow us to do so. "
