TALLINN - When you hear this name, the first thing that comes to mind is his hoarse voice, singing “Lasciate mi cantare.” But if you dig into your memory, you can definitely remember a few more famous songs, such as “Solo Noi” or “Donna, Donna Mia...” In fact, it was Toto, who deserves our recogn...

Within weeks before I came back to France, I was feeling very blue, stressful and did not want to leave England - My Lionheart.

I came across this song by Michel Sardou on Last.fm . It seems to be a popular tune with a Karaoke version available on iTunes. The lyrics are interesting. There's also a weird Dutch version - watch and see just what Lego can do - which is vaguely reminiscent of Riverdance : Amazing eh...? Les Lyrics: "Terre brûlée au vent, Des landes de pierres, Autour des lacs, C'est pour les vivants,...
