Carpeaux - A French Man's Love Song

Carpeaux is a Brazilian guitarist living in the Phillipines. He uses finger picking style familiar to classical guitar work but a modern quality is felt in the progression of the music. A near indie element appears in the quirkiness of the song's different interacting components. The cymbal percussion in the song adds an off-beat feel that reflects the textual painting of the lyrics that express the downtrodden and nihilistic thinking that comes along with a mostly bitter, bitter-sweet love. Though the song is called A French Man's Love Song Carpeaux uses his distinct Brazilian accent to emphasize the song's play on a the French stereotype of love. All together the song is a smooth and soothing experience, the only qualms come with the recording quality that is not without its own novel charm; but with proper studio recording Carpeaux could really bloom. If you don't like it at first give it an extra listen, really listen. Trust me, it becomes infectious.
