MF FAN GAMES 2021 – ROUND 4

On my end, I probably should not repeat what you already so eloquently explained but rather give you my very much focused vision on the direct tributes only.

Two most obvious references from the dawn of Mylene’s music releases are ALLAN and GRETA. The first one to Edgar Allan Poe and the other to Greta Garbo.

Both of the songs are early songs inspired by the literally genius Mylene adores all her life and according to the Lisa-Loup et le Conteur (the book Mylene wrote back in 2003), it is her grandma Jeanne who read Edgar Poe stories to her…definitely a bit darkened material for a good night story…but hey! Its our Mylene – we are not really expecting clichés, do we? Interesting connection though: it’s thanks to Charles Baudelaire (another huge influence in Mylene’s life and art) introduced Edgar A. Poe’s work to French readers with his masterful translations. What struck me about Edgar and Charles is how short their physical lives were (only 40 and 46 years respectively) but what a mark they have left on the humanity…

Greta Garbo’s mystifying persona stood out from the Hollywood crowd of her time and therefore didn’t enter Mylene and Laurent’s world by chance. There are a lot of synchronicities between Mylene and Greta – visit the page and see for yourself…Please comment what similarities did you notice.

Dans les rues de Londres is a song dedicated to the English writer Virginia Wolf

Mais tu sais, son âme est belle
Dans les rues de Londres
J’ai puisé plus de lumières
Qu’il n’en faut pour voir…
Dieu a des projets pour elle
Et les rues de Londres
Souffleront sur des mystères
D’une autre fois…
Virginia

Leila is a beautiful tribute Leila Pahlavi (who was apparently a fan of Mylène), the youngest daughter of the Shah of Iran Mohammad Reza Pahlavi and the Empress Farah Pahlavi. Her tragic short life touched Mylene enough to dedicate the song to her.
