Raphaël

Here is THE romantic boy.

Raphaël Haroche is a french singer and musician. His father is russian, his mother is argentinian : Cold outside, hot inside. This exactly defines him.

Behind a bohemian musical style he hides poetic and violent texts.
His lastest album, as he says, is "dedicated to life, wandering and carnal".
When I saw it the first time on a photo, I thought "he's not as much good looking as they say". but then I saw it at Live Aid, and i discovered he's really "Beauty-Full", magnetic and shining. He's got an incredible and unexplainable charm.

"Sur la route" litteraly "On the road" is a duo made with Jean-Louis Aubert.
In the clip "Caravane", you can see his girlfriend, Mélanie (i'm sure you're disppointed).
"Ne partons pas fachés" means "We shouldn't leave each others angry". It deals with two persons who break and he globally says "yes, life is hard and sad, obviously people die everyday, so this is precisely the reason why we should not get angry togther". That's why the music sounds happy even if the song is sad.
"Dans 150 ans" is the same kind of text, saying that "in 150 years" no one will remember your first wrinkle, no one will remember how much you are beautiful..."
His texts are really great, don't hesitate to ask me to translate some of them.
