And I only knew about that song because I happened to see a news item about it well over twenty years ago. It's one of those songs I never would have known about without an incredibly unlikely sequence of events. And this happens more often.

Makes me wonder how many amazing songs I don't know

It's basically a re-recording of what I believe is their greatest hit, and was originally released in 2003. I really prefer this 2023 version though.

I only knew about this band because of a collaboration they did with Dutch singer Sita ("Le Chemin", from the same album as "Dernière danse")

There's also a release trailer with different music, but that's not at all dramatic (though quite hilarious)

Extra resource usage doesn't just hurt them though, so mixed bag
