Libby CudmoreGUEST
The European sense.
Mike DeFabioHOST
So this song was inspired by a poem by Charles Baudelaire called The Voice, published in his 1857 volume The Flowers of Evil.
Mike DeFabioHOST
I've never read any Baudelaire, and indeed, I don't know much about the French I took, but it really is a great poem, and you can see the parallels right away.
Mike DeFabioHOST
He describes being a child in a crib next to a large bookshelf filled with old books, and then hearing two competing voices telling him how he ought to live.
Mike DeFabioHOST
One says to treat the world like a big old cake and live only to maximize your own pleasure.
Libby CudmoreGUEST
Yeah.
Libby CudmoreGUEST
It is effervescent.
Rich BunnellHOST
Yeah, I want to start with that Baudelaire poem because I'd also never read it before and I love it.
Brad ListiHOST
It details his disappearances, his struggles with addiction, his tortured romances, his tragic family life.
Brad ListiHOST
And it also draws in Other artists who were very influenced by Poe, including the poet Charles Baudelaire, Julio Cortázar.
Brad ListiHOST
Is that how you pronounce it? I'm seeing the accent over the A.
Brad ListiHOST
So forgive me if I'm muddling that, but I think it's Julio Cortázar.

Brad ListiHOST
I mean, is there anything you would push back on there?
Emily OgdenGUEST
No, that's all right.
Emily OgdenGUEST
And I would only add that modernism, really 20th century high art literature, in Europe especially, it's very hard to imagine that it would have been the same without Poe and specifically without Charles Baudelaire translating Poe.
Emily OgdenGUEST
And then through Baudelaire, the French symbolists read him, the surrealists read him.
Kim AskewHOST
Yeah, I love that.
Amy HelmesHOST
And then that word ennui just made me think of Baudelaire, who I think was an influence probably.
Amy HelmesHOST
So moving ahead to where she is going to the opera.
Amy HelmesHOST
So she's going with the bloater, who is a kind of famous baritone opera singer.

Laissez-moi respirer longtemps, longtemps l'odeur de tes cheveux.

Ah, Baudelaire brings back such memories of Oxford.
speaker_7SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Oh, Oxford.
Alex ReganHOST
But travelling halfway down the country with two children under the age of six isn't always the most leisurely pursuit.
Derrick WarfelGUEST
But I mean, it's just so.
Derrick WarfelGUEST
So basically, I think there's a French author called Baudelaire who said the greatest trick the devil ever pulled.
Derrick WarfelGUEST
was convincing the world he didn't exist because then he can operate with impunity.
Derrick WarfelGUEST
And I think that's what these beings are.

When you say that smile, what is it?
speaker_10SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
This book, Baudelaire.
speaker_10SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Lousy translation.

By the way, I'm Joan Cameron, Lydia's poor country cousin.

EdGUEST
For this new one, it's basically a composition of eight songs which tell a story.
EdGUEST
and the main lyrical inspiration comes from people such as Baudelaire, Kant and Goethe so it's a bit of a philosophical themed album again
Dark HelHOST
oh so even good writers like you were mentioning so even the literature finds a lot of inspiration right in your lyrics
EdGUEST
yes
Mark DawidziakGUEST
And that was a tendency to actually be taught in the classroom.
Mark DawidziakGUEST
Coming out of the French who admired Poe greatly, like Baudelaire, when I was in high school, there was this kind of idea that, well, Poe was drawing on himself to create all of these things.
Mark DawidziakGUEST
The narrator in The Raven, or the narrator in The Tell-Tale Heart, or the narrator in The Cask of Amontillado.
Mark DawidziakGUEST
And that's a very simplistic way to look at it.
