Works
by Charles Baudelaire (also rec’d by Oscar Wilde )
Buy on AmazonSome poems, like Baudelaire’s ‘The Eyes of the Poor,’ impressed me so much that I wanted to make a song of them. Their style, for me, already has a kind of musical rhythm. Singing ‘How Beautiful You Are’ is like going into oral tradition. I take more pleasure expressing love in this Baudelaire poem than singing ‘Friday I’m in Love.'
