Song 44 - Music by the Elsie Dee Project. Lyrics by Jean Cocteau. Jean Cocteau is one of those artists whose name is far better known as their work. As he lived many great artists Paris in the first half of the twentieth century, he was friends with of the time: Picasso, Satie, Stravinsky, Proust, etc. He was a poet, graphic artist, musician and one of the most influential film maker of that era. His poetry mixes sharp modernism with elegant neoclassicism. He was one of the first to use the airplane and motorcycle as poetic themes. One of his last poems says: "Sometimes at night, the lost traveler sees a good light, and runs, his heart filled with joy, towards the ogre's house". Le Train musical is all about statues in a park murdering people...Typical Cocteau! Even though he was never a member of the Surrealist group led by André Breton, his poetry was always what Surrealism was about.
