The Trails End

Zach Gray (of The Zolas) and Laura Smith (of Rococode) team up for a Valentine's Day duet of Serge Gainsbourg's song Bonnie and Clyde.

Late one rainy night, in an old stable, lit only by the moon, a solitary horse is serenaded with the tale of the famous, outlaw lovers Bonnie and Clyde. At least that's how it went down last Monday night in Vancouver. The song was originally recorded in French, (in 1967 by Serge Gainsbourg and Brigitte Bardot) the lyrics based on the the poem "The Trails End" by non-other than Bonnie Parker herself. Laura and Zach use the original poem for the lyrics in this version. As we know Bonnie and Clyde loved two things, robbing banks and each other. Their lives ended the only way they could, in a hail of bullets. Romantic no? Well at least that's what Zach and Laura thought as this video was made as a special Valentine's Day duet for  Vancouver Is Awesome. 

If The Zolas and Rococode merged would they be The Rococolas or The Zolocode? Or wait, maybe ZoRo? Something deep for you to consider till Monday (gentlemen, Monday is Valentine's Day, don't forget). This year may you all find the love that Bonnie and Clyde had but not the bullets.

Monday night at Sitka Surfboards in Vancouver many of the artists participating in the Valentine's duet project will be performing for free, so get there.
