		Chansons originales de l'album "Moments"
Listen	Listen	MOMENTS *- Mus: B. Deschamps & F. Brière; Words: Bonnie Deschamps* .....The title song of the album, written by Bonnie and arranged by François as an easy swing ballad, contains in a few simple words Bonnie's entire philosophy of life.
Listen	Listen	WHEN DID WE MEET *- Curtis S. Taylor* .....Arranged by Bonnie & François as a latin rhumba, "This song, " Curt says, "is sweet and good and about the beginning of love."
Listen	Listen	GENTLE MELON SWEET RIDE *- Curtis S. Taylor* .....Curt calls this upbeat blues waltz "happy, mad, and inviting". Of François's arrangement, he says: "François has complete control of all his arrangements, and this sense of swing, he understands so beautifully."
Listen	Listen	SOUVENIR DE CALIFORNIE ( SAX SOLO ) *- François Brière* .....A beguine, this sax solo written by François is a reflection of his 12 years spent in California and all the collected memories of his time in Santa Cruz.
Listen	Listen	PLAYING GAMES *- Curtis S. Taylor* .....This sweet melancholy song about the Las Vegas phenomenon, arranged by François, will top out the remembrances of all the days of gambling and loves lost in the process, all done within a very romantic and wonderful ballad
Listen	Listen	THE SHADOWS OF MY DREAM *- François Brière* .....Of this pop ballad, François says, "Remembering the day I met Bonnie in a park in Québec in 1993, I wrote about the brief encounter that often changes one's life."
Listen	Listen	MOVIN' LOVE *- Curtis S. Taylor* ....."Originally written as a slow, big musical tune as Sammy Davis might have sung," Curt says. Arranged as a slow beguine by François, Curt adds, "It's a difficult song to sing, but Bonnie does it as easy as drinking a Coke."
Listen	Listen	FOR THE BIRDS ( SAX SOLO ) *- François Brière* .....This sax solo, a slow cha-cha, shows off François's musicality. Not having any idea what to title it, however, he just said, "I guess this one's 'for the birds!' "
Listen	Listen	STROLLIN' ALONG *- Bonnie Deschamps* .....This happy easy shuffle simply suggests a nostalgic memory to which nearly everyone can relate, about our 'courting' or 'dating days', and the feelings that those happy-go-lucky, carefree, early days of being in love bring with them.
Listen	Listen	BLUE MONDAY *- Bonnie Deschamps* .....A count ry girl and early riser who loves to watch the sunrise and listen to early-morning birds singing, Bonnie, in this blues shuffle, lets those late risers know what they're missing: a brand new day full of possibilities.
Listen	Listen	FORGET THAT DAY *- François Brière* ....."The eternal optimist!" Bonnie calls François, who says, "This traditional up-tempo swing was inspired by the need we often have to escape our day-to-day problems." It also shows off another facet of François's talent with a great optimistic scat.
Listen	Listen	CONSIDER SOMETHING *- Music: B. Deschamps & F. Brière; Words: B. Deschamps* .....In this lively and humorous swing Bonnie & François express their sense of fun toward the sentiment which so many of their admirers have shared with them about today's radio play.
Listen	Listen	THE MORNING OF OUR AFTERNOON *- Curtis S. Taylor* ....."Written just for Bonnie & François," Curt says, "I connect it to love, but more than a romantic love song, it is a song about time and the beginning of the last half of life - about finding the individual that gets lost in the first half of life through the nurturing process which we all go through with family and kids - and findinganother turn in life after the kids are grown and on their own and no longer need to be nurtured. About Bonnie & François's funky arrangement and interpretation, Curt continues: "Bonnie and François have captured the song's feeling COMPLETELY."
Listen	Listen	TONIGHT I NEED YOUR LOVE *- François Brière* .....Demonstrating both his sensitivity and vulnerability, this slow beguine about the loneliness of life on the road was written in 1985 by François while he was on a four-month tour in the Midwest, traveling from city to city.
Listen	Listen	LE SON DE TES CARESSES - ( SAX SOLO ) *- François Brière* ....."The sound of your caresses" ... The result of the coupling of a 6/4 rhythm with a waltz, woven together by a beautiful original melody . . .
Listen	Listen	IF YOU EVER GO AWAY *- Music: François Brière; Words: Bonnie Deschamps* .....Originally a sax solo entitled "Demain je t'ai aimé" and one of the first songs Bonnie ever heard François play (here newly re-orchestrated by François with a pop-rap feel), this song expresses Bonnie's great esteem for François, not only for the emotions he generates when he plays, but also her regard for him as the consummate musician.
