I just saw this on Twitter - I hope it's viewable by anyone. Jarvis at a memorial event for the Bataclan. I remember him talking about it on the radio and playing a piece he'd created about it with Serafina Steer.

Thanks for sharing that, vaguely remember the original broadcast, happily the English version is there on youtube (link below). Quite a moving piece in French or English, and glad to hear it again. When the Bataclan anniversary was mentioned on the news today, I was shocked that it was 10 years ago already, still seems recent. Just seems like we've had a relentless stream of awful things happening this century, and the last 10 years in particular.
It may seem glib to say this, in the context of the Bataclan, but this year of More and Pulps return has been so uplifting and positive. The miserable grind of of awful events continue - Ukraine, Sudan, Gaza - you can't even hold it all in your head, but these moments of light (and these tiny human delights Jarvis lists in Friday the 13th) are vital, and we have to celebrate it.

He played the demo version, EXCLUSIVE, as he bellows, of Paris, Je t'aime / Friday 13th on the recent Sunday Solstice. The discussion starts at 57min, the music at 59m20. The lyric part is not so good as the complete version, the words seem rushed, but the intro sequence with chiming bells and organ is lovely, grand, gloomy, epic.
