Our "Yesterdays" en chanson: Les feuilles mortes ..(. Prévert et Kosma )

Are these words and tune so well matched together that they will stay endlessly in one's memory ? Or is it Yves Montand's detached attitude and soothing voice that soften the blows of the inevitable lost love story ? 1950 was my yesterday on the radio when Yves Montand sang 'Les feuilles mortes' and I was not aware of Marcel Carné's film "Les portes de la nuit". That was discovered some years later when the television set got into our flat. (1962) Luckily the film was in black and white ! This song has had more than 4000covers in all languages ... It was part of my "yesterdays" and my 'today again. It is brightening my "today". Music can be an open Dream Land with no boarders and bloody quarrels and global Epidemic fears which are not over yet just like wars... this tune was the theme of that 1946 film just after second world war. I was a kid then. Today I'm a senior citizen of a country in turmoil as so many are but some are even in worse states .A young artist from Korea, for Lunar new year, had put on line his post war tune. It is easitly found on youtube: Ko Woorim's official channel : "Les feuilles mortes". He is a trained opera singer with an amazing bass voice now merging into a warm stunning bass baritone and he reminds me of Dmitri Hvorostovsky. Woorim has been part of my on line life and is the singer of my ending season. I admire the way he sings and conveys emotions in Kpop in the Quartet Forestella and also in Immortal songs like operarock songs (Queen's songs and Italian ones, also some Russian melodies like 'Cranes' and in the rare opera arias that can be found on youtube). He was at the semi finals in Toulouse singing competition in 2016, he was the youngest one. I do not know why he chose 'Les feuilles mortes'. From what I found out listening to his rendition, he was right: he has the tall slim detached look Yves Montand had, his voice is much deeper and warmer, his soothing tone is more efficient as well as his very soft jazzy swaying... plus some irresistable charm, all with perfect French, all that today is "un coup de jeunesse"!
