Jacques Brel was a singer from Brussels. His songs are written as scenes, and the career moves naturally onto a line of performances and records. He left the stage while people still wanted him on it, and he died in 1978. The voice is what a Belgian page would play.

This is a sample story, so the page can show a longer memory. A daughter would write the walk home, the song in the kitchen, and the sentence that is still repeated.
