  • "I have just returned to the son of the deceased person who owned this 45 because he had found the English version, I have just recorded and posted the music https://youtu.be/XmH68eJGvIY. the voice seems really similar but the melody is different and the lyrics too, I don't speak English natively but I'm sure they're not the same lyrics. Furthermore, he told me that his father had the first record when he was still living with his parents, probably on his 18th birthday, so in 1965, which corresponds with what you said.

    Thanks for the full version. This song is really catchy (that bassline omg)!

    First, here's what I can hear from the lyrics:

    « Ecoute, écoute au loin là bas
    Les cris les pleurs, (où l’on se meurt?)
    C’est une guerre qui ne finit pas
    Dieu sait quand elle se terminera

    Je ne vois pas pour qui pour quoi
    Faut-il se battre ici bas
    Déjà une ombre (de sud? dessine? décime?) en toi
    Qui cible le reste de nos joies

    Meutriers sur commande
    Pantins (de peuple humain?)
    Ils arrivent (à se confondre?)
    A tous ces « je te l’amène »
    Tandis que le sort
    Se rougit dans ses veines

    Nous cracherons sur leurs tombes
    Qu’ils soient soldats ou guérilleurs
    Nous effacerons même leurs ombres
    Et nos mémoires tant que l’on vivra

    Écoute, écoute au loin là bas
    Les cris les pleurs, (où l’on se meurt?)
    C’est une guerre qui ne finit pas
    Dieu sait quand elle se terminera »

    Stylistically, it sounds yéyé (so probably between 1961 and 1968).

     It reminds me of C’est pas sérieux by Les Chats Sauvages (with Dick Rivers singing) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cMAr1flCdQ8

    Now as the lyrics are anti-militarist, I think the best timeframes for this song are 1961-1962 (end of the Algerian War) or 1968 (May 68 social movement).

    By searching « écoute » in 60’s French releases on Discogs, I found « Ecoute » by Noël Deschamps : https://www.discogs.com/fr/release/4374618-Noël-Deschamps-Ecoute, released in May 1968. Unfortunately, couldn’t find the song on the Internet. But here’s another one by the same artist (Oh la hey, co-written with Alain Bashung in 1966) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WVTCo5LVJJU

    I also searched the SACEM repertoire for « Ecoute écoute » https://repertoire.sacem.fr/resultats?filters=titles&query=ecoute%20ecoute#searchBtn and found a song called « Ecoute écoute » by Gerard Salesses. He was a member of « Les Caïds » in 1964 (a rock band from Toulouse).

    Still, there were thousands of yéyé bands in the 60’s, so it could be another band. I think you can rule out artists who released mostly love songs (Les Chaussettes Noires, Les Chats Sauvages, Johnny Hallyday, Salvatore Adamo…) The fact that this is a protest song can help your search.

    Do you have any information about the original 45rpm (matrix number on the record itself, region/area of France where it could come from…)?
