To celebrate his 25th season as host of A Propos on CBC Radio, host Jim Corcoran picked 10 essential songs written in the past 25 years and then asked 10 of his favourite songwriters and singers to revisit and re-record those songs just for A Propos.
“I impulsively, arbitrarily and subjectively chose 10 songs from among the many essential songs,” Corcoran admits.
Here are the beautifully crafted, personal, timeless and inspired songs that he feels could do with a little bit more love.
1. “L’amour est sans pitié” by Jean Leloup.
2. “Poussière d’or” by Jérôme Minière.
3. “Pas de mots” by Geneviève Paris.
4. “Le répondeur” by Les colocs.
5. “Intouchable et immortel” by Daniel Bélanger.
6. “Moi-Léger” by Karkwa.
7. “Les aurores” by Mara Tremblay.
8. “Jenny” by Richard Desjardins.
9. “Si fragile” by Luc De Larochellière.
10. “La confession” by Lhasa.
