"I never thought to stop the music"
Despite immense successes, such as San Francisco or My brother (1972), Maxime Le Forestier experienced a small crossing of the desert in the 1980s. At the time, he worked with Julien Clerc, for whom he composed songs, but his albums do not work as much as he wants. Did he think of hanging up at this time? Never. "I never thought to stop the music, because I do not know how to do anything else," says the singer. In an interview, Maxime Le Forestier even said that if he did not make songs, he would probably have been homeless.
"It's hard to analyze why a song works or not"
In 1987, Maxime Le Forestier returned to success. The title Born somewhere propels it back to the front of the stage. "It's hard to analyze why a song works or not," says the singer. "The arrangements of Jean-Pierre Sabar are amazing.When I wrote this song, it was a samba a little cute and it energized", note anyway Maxime Le Forestier. It is in any case thanks to this title that the Parachutist's interpreter found his audience and continued his career in the light.
