Thanks to the anonymous commenter on our previous Phoenix post for letting us know about this French TV interview of the band. They show a clip of the kids singing Phoenix's song Lisztomania at approximately 11:30, and the band says some more great things (in French) about the PS22 Chorus. Direct translation anyone?
UPDATE: Thanks to Amandine for the translation below! SO cool to hear the kids may be getting visitors soon!
Host: "There is a sequence we found on the web, that you of course saw, but that's when we understand that a song entered for good in the culture and everyday life. Watch and you'll understand"
(Youtube video of PS22 plays)
Host: "It's a chorus from New York. 5th grade students from Graniteville with a clever music teacher because first he understood internet's strength because he does it regularly with U2 or Coldplay; but finding your songs sang by kids, it must have been... must have given you goosebumps, no?"
Phoenix : "We cried. We're going to go see them, we know where they are"
Host: "You're going to see the class?"
Phoenix : "We're going to go to the school, yes"
Host: "It's going to be great! I hope you're going to film it and put it on your website"
Phoenix: "We'll see"
Host: "It's going to be beautiful"
They've said that they really appreciated the performance and they will probably meet the kids cause they know the place where u stay guys in NY and they really want to share a moment with u!
