Sébastien De Francesco’s latest release, “Fleury Street” is a deeply personal, heartfelt folk-rock tribute that also manages to be a universal statement of farewell. The song was born out of one of the last afternoons spent with a dear friend fighting cancer and is filled with warmth, gratitude, and humanity, not just sorrow. De Francesco’s storytelling is at its best here, painting vivid pictures of friendship, laughter and wisdom shared in a difficult chapter. The folk-rock arrangement is a perfect complement to the story, letting the emotional weight of the lyrics come through. The interesting thing about “Fleury Street” is its approach to death, not as an end but as a reason to enjoy every second. A moving, uplifting piece that stays with you long after the final note.
