Following the tender and heartfelt ‘Perdue dans la cité (Lost in the city)’, phenomenal French musician, composer and arranger Jean-Claude Vannier has shared a second charming single called ‘Comme les enfants savent aimer’. The track is lifted from his upcoming Jean-Claude Vannier et son orchestre de mandolines (Jean Claude Vannier and his mandolin orchestra), an album created as the soundtrack to a non-existent silent film. Speaking about the track, Vannier said:

“When I was a child, my parents often took us to dinner at the restaurant in Parc Montsouris. There was a bandstand by the lake, with a few mandolins playing fashionable tunes, and the moon was shimmering on the surface of the water, where an enigmatic boat was moored.
I would have loved to have gone with the waves, with the mandolines.
Later, I spent many a night lying in the boat, dreaming of this music of love.
All these memories led me to record this album with my mandolinist friend, Vincent Beer Demande.”

Jean-Claude Vannier et son orchestre de mandolines is out on February 14th through Ipecac. Now listen to ‘Comme les enfants savent aimer (How children know to love)’.
