"First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin" has taken on an ominous ring these days.

He was the one walking me from my teenage to young adult, from Lycée to my sister's flat in Peronnas before me going to the army. Was still there when I came back and went to university. Left him in Bosnia when Bruce Springsteen became my companion on the corridor between Brcko and Modrica. He came back, with this unique voice and texts when these years went. Goodbye.

Les allemands étaient chez moi,
Et m'ont dit résignes toi,
Mais je n'ai pas peur,
J'ai repris mon arme...

His voice is now gone

He will speak no more
