"Bruxelles" by Jacques Brel - Brussels, Belgium - Immortalized in Lyrics on Waymarking.com

"Jacques Brel (1929–1978) was a Belgian singer-songwriter who composed and performed literate, thoughtful, and theatrical songs that generated a large, devoted following in France initially, and later throughout the world. He was widely considered a master of the modern chanson." Visit link

"Jacques Brel constructed the song "Bruxelles" about life in his grandparents day, a time of happiness and high spirits. La Belle Epoque, as the turn of the 19th century was known, was brought to an end by WWI, darkly suggested by the end of this song. One of Brel's liveliest, most upbeat songs, he dances, kicks up his heels and has a good time while it lasts." See video
