Saez: Jeunesse lève-toi

An older song by Damien Saez, dating from December 2007. The track Jeunesse lève-toi came out ahead of his triple album collection Varsovie - L'Alhambra - Paris that came out the following year.

The song was written during the presidential elections, and is an acoustic number like the others in the collection.

Up until this point his work had been predominately alternative rock, and this work reflected a more intimate style, the three albums inspired by the break-up with his Polish girlfriend.

The first two discs were influenced by classic French chanson artists like Brel, Ferré and Brassens. Jeunesse lève-toi came from Paris, the third disc, which was also available as a seperate album.

Saez was nominated for a Victoires de la musique award for Varsovie - L'Alhambra - Paris the following year, in the best pop/rock album of the year category, the award going to Arthur H for L'Homme du Monde.

He's released a couple of albums since, both a return to a rock music. A Lovers Prayer from 2009 was a collection of songs in English, and his most recent release was 2010's J'Accuse.
