Misc ="Quelque chose dans mon cœur" (Eng. "Something in my heart") is a 1987 song recorded by the French artist
Elsa Lunghini . Released on December 1987, this song was the first single from her debut album "Elsa". It achieved a great success in France, reaching #2.Background
The song was written by Georges Lunghini, Elsa's father, who also wrote all the songs from her album. The music was composed by Pierre Grosz and V.M. Bouvot.
In the second couplet, Elsa mentions the actress
Ava Gardner of whom she was fascinated. With "a lot of accuracy and sensibility", the song deals with "the critical passage from childhood to adolescence", torn between the desire to become an adult and the fear of the unknown. The relationships with the parents and the friends are also evoked. [Elia Habib, "Muz hit. tubes", p. 123,124 (ISBN 2-9518832-0-X)]Chart performances
