Since first mentioning this last week, I have been consumed with a desire to
hear once more, before I die, the late Georgia Brown singing
the theme song from that Sartre miniseries.
I have googled till I am blue in the face, with no result. I can’t even
find the darn **lyrics**.
This, therefore, is an APB to Corner readers. I offer you imperishable
glory (i.e. a mention in The Corner) if you can locate a recording of that
lady singing that song.
It just doesn’t make sense that there is no such recording. In fact, if
there is indeed no such recording, then the world makes even less sense than
Jean-Paul Sartre said it does, which is going some. Is the recording in a
state of Being, or a state of Nothingness? (Sartrean quip.)
All I can recall of the lyrics are the first few lines:
La route est dure
Mais je suis forte.
Ma ame est sure
Ma peur est morte.
Je sais que faire
Avec ma vie…
(Though I can, of course, hum the tune all the way through.)
