Nana Mouskouri - Plaisir d'amour (1971).

Plaisir d'amour" (“Pleasure of love") is a classical French love song written in 1784 by Jean-Paul-Égide Martini (1741–1816); it took its text from a poem by Jean-Pierre Claris de Florian (1755–1794), which appears in his novel Célestine.

Her mesmerising coverage of this song is the most beautiful soul searching version ever. Her voice stirs the heart, the soul with memories of past loves and sorrows, and gives inner peace. She makes the song flows like soft silk….with complete control over those beautiful vocal chords.

I’m wondering about attachment and transference with the therapist and the idea of escape and fantasy? How much do you think your strong feelings, constant thoughts, desires to be with your therapist are a way to escape from your present life? I wonder if the transference serves another purpose than to show us our wounds and/or past experiences, but is a present coping strategy for managing what we don’t want to face (even if unconsciously) in the present—-current relationships, life circumstances, etc. Can anyone relate to this concept of escape in relation to their therapy relationship? How does this play out for you?

The song was covered by the legendary Nana Mouskouri (who had released more than 200 albums in 13 different languages), with an appropriate nickname bestowed……”The Voice”.

Enjoy 😊
