3: Apr猫s l'amour.
Paul Morley attempts to confine himself to one lyric adventure.
'How many songs ? So many, and I鈥檓 meant to focus on Charles Aznavour using just one of those, what, one thousand songs, most of which he wrote, spread over numerous, mostly fascinating, tortured, elegantly tender albums. . . spread through a life that lasts until he was 94, so that songs filled his life when the interests, desires and concerns of relative youth had faded away. Songs were his last love, keeping him going until the last line, the last drop of emotion. . . the last breath.'
