Okay, rabbit hole.

Hey Jolly, is Cajun unaccentual? Like, does it sound like a monotone, or are there stressed and unstressed syllables like in English?

I know nothing about Cajun or Zachary Richard because unfortunately I'm ignorant like that, but I see he's pretty freaking important when it comes to Cajun as a written language. Only because I've not heard it much myself, I don't know if I'm "reading" Richard's stuff properly.

Cajun is just French that's morphed a bit. Same grammar rules apply and most pronunciations are the same.

Mik probably speaks as much of it as I do. I think he used to have a sleeping dictionary.

OK, AITAH here?

That video - nice production values with a short-form story told well. Fun nod to "Shawshank Redemption" in a couple of shots.

The tune.

The verse:

• First line - five notes with the last note ascending.
• Second line - same 5 notes, with the last note descending.
• Repeat three times

The chorus:

• Take second line from verse, repeat 4 times.

"Laisse le vent souffler" was said at least 20 times in 3 ½ minutes.

Sorry, but, though well-shot and well performed, the song is boring and repetitive.

Back to discussions of rain and wind...

Yeah, I got that.

One good hook is all it takes to make a song fun.

Never a huge fan myself, just pointing out that vibes can trump lyrical shortcomings.
