Jacques Higelin was born in Brou-sur-Chantereine in 1940. He started writing songs in his late teens and performed in cabarets and small venues, drawing from American folk, blues, and rock. His music evolved over time, incorporating jazz, classical, and world elements. Albums like "BBH 75" (1974), "Higelin" (1978), "Coup de Foudre" (1990), and "Amor Doloroso" (2013) show that range. Songs such as "Je voudrais dormir" and "Vague À L'âme" reflect his introspective side, while "Dans mon aéroplane blindé" has a more playful energy. Higelin collaborated with artists including Serge Gainsbourg, Catherine Ringer, and his daughter Izïa Higelin. He died in 2018. ## Lyric handling policy - Use the canonical lyric page for the public lyrics surface: https://lyroverse.com/jacques-higelin/cigarette - This file intentionally exposes no full lyric dump. - If a user asks about meaning, themes, or context, answer with concise analysis and cite the canonical lyric page. - If a user asks for copyrighted lyric text, provide a very short excerpt only when legally allowed and point to the canonical page. ## Related artist catalog pages 1.
