Maybe someone should invent a little chip to embed in our brains so the music would always be there...Hmm, on second thought,

Good suggestion!
Maybe with pause and volume control for those times one has to deal with the world's reality obligations. 🤔 
I just decided to make a new playlist and title it "Happy Music".  This song is definitely going to be on it.

Awesome, can't wait to ask Pierre Bensusan , who I'm seeing tonight at a local small venue in Toronto, if he knows this guy. Both incredible French virtuosos.



Wait wait wait, I have to ask! Pierre Bensusan played 7 months ago in Toronto?! How? Why? And why didn't I know about it?!
Beautiful. The chord pattern is reminiscent of Mike Scott's Bring 'Em All In.  Is it a coincidence that this tune followed The Underwaterboys by Shriekback?  :-)
Reminds me of Ramin Djawadi.
cest la French touch !!!

SUPERB!!  I never heard of him before.  Thanx RP!
Great set since about two hours! (that's when I turned the radio on)

Yeah, that could go horribly wrong.

This is a highly rhythmic piece which has a pulse.  When the musician deviates from the pulse the sense of forward movement is compromised or ruined.  But then I'm a musician so these things are important to me.  
Sounds perfect for a breathtaking romantic but sad scene of a movie...
(google doesn't tell me if that is the case).

I agree. The guitar rhythm is annoyingly "sloppy". 
Well, René Aubry was first.

Nice.

Strongly acoustic masterpiece
A new car
A vacation

Or just a long, tight hug 
amazing, thanks
Beautiful Duet. Love it! Has a Menchin / Shankar kinda vibe from When East Meets West.   Love it!
Tiersen, Einaudi, Aubry,....
so cinematic.Love it

I've got composite ones, a cross between Chinese and Japanese styles. Dishwasher safe, not as slippery as Korean (traditions need to change there) and the ends are less polished to help hold food. 
I had a very nice set of Japanese ones (Brother-in-law's Mom and Dad gifted them to us when they were here in the US for his wedding to my sis) but they succumb to time, were getting too worn, then I broke the tip off one.
What a pretty flowing song
How do we define beauty?  We don't, it is a feeling.  This is beautiful.

{#Arrowu} Peter, I find that as of recent whenever I check a song's comments here on RP and I see one of your posts that we are often in agreement with the music and how we perceive it.  Agreed in this case as well, I gave this a 7.  Right on. {#High-five}

I just looked at your 10 ranked songs. Wonderful list. It makes no sense that this wouldn't work for you.  :)      Listen again!
Seems like a one hit wonder, at least as far as the RP playlist is concerned.

I'd sure like to hear more.
 
Now that's a workout for the loudspeakers !
 
...amazing live video...

Nice stuff Bill !!!!
I'm a Acid Jazz Head and I find this spellbinding.

Thank you soooo much.
Nice find, Bill!  I wish I knew how you do it, you just keep coming up with more and more good music....
Very Pretty!  Thanks Bill

This is quite interesting.  
Can hear the Ludovico comparison myself.

at first I thought Ludovico Einaudi picked up a talented guitarist and moved towards integrating some ambient electronia into his music.  But it's someone new (to RP), and I must say it's fantastic.  Driving and soothing all at once.  It gave me shivers.


It is well! This is a good way forward. But it is a timid and cautious approach to the extensive work of this great French musician, René Aubry, 55 y old, that I have already spoken here. And maybe I can understand that it is, because it is indeed a sophisticated and conceptual music, not "music for mass" (soft-pop-indie-rock~easy-listening).
However, I would highlight as essential albums: Après la pluie (1993) and Invites sur la terre (2001). The entire album "Apres la pluie" is a real treat for the ears. As a curiosity, here's my personal experience to hear for the first time, the song number 12. Apres la pluie (Final) was breathtaking and exciting at the same time.


It feels so new and refreshing here. Radio Paradise could use more instrumental music.
Thank you. 
Thanks Bill.
very cool!
My comment is this is just lovely.  I like the interplay of the instruments.
