"It is unexpected to hear Brian Molko from Placebo on your album.
"Oh no! He knows Serge songs, he has already made a version of Melody Nelson, he played my part in a version of Je t'Aime Moi Non Plus. It's a very well-read boy, very clever. I thought only the French were so careful with the words, as with the English we just have to understand the title and we can dance. Brian Molko wrote a very strong, sassy song, in which he often has the cunning as Cole Porter, to throw a word on the next verse. Even my mother was absolutely delighted with the keeness of the thing: it is not a reverent song."

Jane's first known film was 1966's ⭐๐๐‹๐Ž๐– ๐”๐, made while she was still living in England. After separating from her first husband John Barry (with whom she had a daughter Kate), she moved to France in 1968 to audition for the film ⭐๐’๐‹๐Ž๐†๐€๐.

Serge is the father of her second daughter, Charlotte Gaisnsbourg, a well-known musician and actress.
After their breakup, Jane married the director Jacques Doillon and with him has a third daughter - Lou.

Dear soulmates,

I wish you a lovely evening...maybe spent watching one of Jane's films.

"Jealousy drove me to perform the song. I remember that Serge was getting a television crew and journalists to listen to the version he’d made with Bardot, which was never released, and there was a very pretty girl in a kilt lying on the sofa. When I saw how proud he was to get the journalists and the girl on the sofa to listen to it, I thought I’d better be the one to sing it, especially that other actresses were interested. Mireille Darc asked him: ‘So, Sergio, what has become of that little song ?’ I didn’t want him to end up in a telephone box with a beautiful girl recording another version of Je t’aime… moi non plus, as he’d done with Bardot. When he suggested I do it, I agreed immediately. We met up in a huge studio in Marbella and in two takes we had the final product. Back in Paris, we went for dinner in the wine cellar of the Hรดtel des Beaux Arts. There was a record player, and without saying a word, Serge put the song on and all of a sudden all the couples around us stopped talking, their knives and forks in mid-air. Serge pinched me and said: ‘I think we’ve got a hit record.’ We never thought for a moment that the song would become such a symbol of freedom all over the world. People listened to it in secret, from Spain to Argentina. The Pope banned it, BBC banned it too, and in Italy, the head of Phonogram Records was thrown into jail. I was making another bad film in Oxford and every day we saw Je t’aime… moi non plus climbing higher in the charts. It was crazy.”

Jane's fashion style was very casual and also very bold. She didn't try to hide her beautiful body.

She did not hesitate to wear a dress back-to-front at prestigious events. Her style was unique, she looked very charming even in plain jeans, a shirt unbuttoned to the waist and converse sneakers.„๐˜ž๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ ๐˜ ๐˜ข๐˜ณ๐˜ณ๐˜ช๐˜ท๐˜ฆ๐˜ฅ ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ ๐˜๐˜ณ๐˜ข๐˜ฏ๐˜ค๐˜ฆ, ๐˜ ๐˜ธ๐˜ข๐˜ด ๐˜ข ๐˜ค๐˜ฐ๐˜ฑ๐˜บ ๐˜ฐ๐˜ง ๐˜‘๐˜ฆ๐˜ข๐˜ฏ ๐˜š๐˜ฉ๐˜ณ๐˜ช๐˜ฎ๐˜ฑ๐˜ต๐˜ฐ๐˜ฏ. ๐˜›๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ ๐˜๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ๐˜ค๐˜ฉ ๐˜ธ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฎ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ ๐˜ธ๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ท๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ๐˜บ ๐˜ธ๐˜ฆ๐˜ญ๐˜ญ ๐˜จ๐˜ณ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฎ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฅ ๐˜ข๐˜ต ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ต๐˜ช๐˜ฎ๐˜ฆ, ๐˜ค๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ๐˜ต๐˜ข๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜ญ๐˜บ, ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ธ๐˜ข๐˜ด ๐˜๐˜ณ๐˜ข๐˜ฏ๐˜ค̧๐˜ฐ๐˜ช๐˜ด๐˜ฆ ๐˜๐˜ข๐˜ณ๐˜ฅ๐˜บ ๐˜ข๐˜ฏ๐˜ฅ ๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ ๐˜—๐˜ข๐˜ค๐˜ฐ ๐˜™๐˜ข๐˜ฃ๐˜ข๐˜ฏ๐˜ฏ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ฅ๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ๐˜ด๐˜ด, ๐˜ฃ๐˜ถ๐˜ต ๐˜ด๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ธ๐˜ฐ๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ช๐˜ต ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฏ๐˜ญ๐˜บ ๐˜ฌ๐˜ฏ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ญ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ๐˜จ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ. ๐˜ ๐˜ฉ๐˜ข๐˜ฅ ๐˜ด๐˜ฐ๐˜ฎ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ญ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜ฆ๐˜ด ๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฎ๐˜ฐ๐˜ท๐˜ฆ๐˜ฅ ๐˜ต๐˜ฐ ๐˜ฎ๐˜ข๐˜ฌ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ช๐˜ต ๐˜ญ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฌ ๐˜ญ๐˜ช๐˜ฌ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ข ๐˜ญ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฏ๐˜จ ๐˜ด๐˜ฉ๐˜ช๐˜ณ๐˜ต. ๐˜ž๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ ๐˜ ๐˜ด๐˜ฆ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ฑ๐˜ช๐˜ค๐˜ต๐˜ถ๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ๐˜ด ... ๐˜ ๐˜ฅ๐˜ช๐˜ฅ๐˜ฏ'๐˜ต ๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ๐˜ข๐˜ญ๐˜ช๐˜ป๐˜ฆ ๐˜ช๐˜ต ๐˜ธ๐˜ข๐˜ด ๐˜ด๐˜ฐ ๐˜ต๐˜ณ๐˜ข๐˜ฏ๐˜ด๐˜ฑ๐˜ข๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ๐˜ต. ๐˜›๐˜ฉ๐˜ช๐˜ด ๐˜ช๐˜ด ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ง๐˜ญ๐˜ข๐˜ด๐˜ฉ ๐˜ฆ๐˜ง๐˜ง๐˜ฆ๐˜ค๐˜ต ๐˜ฐ๐˜ง ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ฑ๐˜ฉ๐˜ฐ๐˜ต๐˜ฐ๐˜จ๐˜ณ๐˜ข๐˜ฑ๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ๐˜ด' ๐˜ค๐˜ข๐˜ฎ๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ๐˜ข. ๐˜๐˜ง ๐˜ ๐˜ฉ๐˜ข๐˜ฅ ๐˜ฌ๐˜ฏ๐˜ฐ๐˜ธ๐˜ฏ, ๐˜ ๐˜ธ๐˜ฐ๐˜ถ๐˜ญ๐˜ฅ ๐˜ฏ๐˜ฐ๐˜ต ๐˜ฑ๐˜ถ๐˜ต ๐˜ฌ๐˜ฏ๐˜ช๐˜ค๐˜ฌ๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ๐˜ด!

'In 1981, Birkin was on a short flight from Paris to London. Carrying her famous straw basket, she placed it in the overhead compartment of her seat. However, the lid of the basket opened, and the contents spilled all over the floor and on the seats around her. Sitting next to her and assisting her in retrieving the contents of her basket was the late executive of Hermรจs, Jean-Louis Dumas. Birkin complained to Dumas that she was unable to find a suitable leather weekend bag that she liked. According to folklore, the remainder of the flight consisted of the pair designing a bag together and sketching ideas on an air sickness bag. …/.../

Since the creation of the very first Birkin bag, Jane Birkin has always carried one. However, true to her unique style and fashion, she has continually customized her bags with beads, trinkets, protest stickers, and other titbits to create a unique look.

…/.../ Birkin bags is now a modern and trendy pastime practiced by celebrities including Kim Kardashian, Tamara Ecclestone, and many others.'

Currently on her fifth bag after auctioning the first four for charity, Birkin’s philanthropy work is well documented. She often works with Amnesty International on humanitarian issues and donates her yearly royalties for the Birkin bag (approximately $50,000 per year) to a charity of her choice. In 2015, she had a brief disagreement with Hermรจs regarding the farming methods of alligators and crocodiles used to make the bags. Birkin’s request to remove her name from crocodile bags was swiftly met with a series of measures taken by the luxury manufacturer which satisfied Birkin and resulted in her dropping the request to remove her name from the bags.

"I suffered a lot because of my physique, especially at boarding school. The others said I was half boy, half girl. I had no breasts, not even a developing bosom. It was horrible. I was extremely lucky to meet Serge. When he was a student at the ร‰cole des Beaux Arts, he drew a girl, who looked just like a boy, except that she had breasts like mine. He took me to the Louvre to show me Cranach’s paintings and explained that I was a Cranach and that big breasts frightened him. He was exaggerating though. He had just come out of a relationship with Bardot, but Cranach’s was the type of beauty he preferred. After the misery of the boarding school and my marriage, it was incredible meeting someone who found me beautiful and decidedly erotic. He reconciled me with myself. When a man loves you, it changes everything.”

"I don’t believe in destiny. I think we can change everything all the time. Accidents are the best things in existence. They force you to leave a route that seemed to be mapped out, and it’s often when you branch out that you meet some incredible guy who changes your life or an unusual project that turns your career on its head. It’s often when things aren’t going well that we are forced into doing them differently and they suddenly become interesting.”

The song was written by Brian and composer Rachel Corkett. Maybe her name sounds familiar to you because her husband Paul Corkett produced Placebo's third album ”Black market music”.

The English actress, singer and model Birkin attained international fame for her decade-long musical and romantic partnership with Serge Gainsbourg. One of their most famous songs is ”Je t'aime... moi non plus” which was released in 1969 and caused an enormous scandal because of its sexual explicitness.
I guess we all know and love the cover version of ”Je t'aime... moi non plus” that Brian recorded for Dimitri Tikovoi's music project Trash Palace with Italian actress, singer and model Asia Argento in 2002. That's by the way an interesting similarity between the two women, isn't it?

I thought only the French were so careful with the words, as with the English we just have to understand the title and we can dance. Brian Molko wrote a very strong, sassy song, in which he often has the cunning as Cole Porter, to throw a word on the next verse. Even my mother was absolutely delighted with the keeness of the thing: it is not a reverent song."

Don't stare at your face
With your nose out of place
At the wrinkles where zits used to be
And remember that smiling uses less muscles
And frowning just makes you look ugly


So smile, smile
And the whole world will smile with you
So smile, baby, smile
If the whole world just had a clue


Don't mess with your man
When he's selling you grams
He would kill you for less and then smile
And don't curse at a whore
As you open the door
coz your service wont be with a smile


So smile, smile
And the whole world smiles with you
And smile, baby, smile
If the whole world just had a clue


Don't sneer at your doctor
And Gamble & Procter
Coz they're just pawns in the game
The perfect prescription is one that you're given
it's filled out in jesus' name
Don't be scared of your preacher
Coz hes just a leech
Hes too busy cruising your ass
Theres a verse in the bible
That says we're all liable
For everything that comes to pass


So smile, smile
And the whole world smiles with you
So smile, baby, smile
If the whole world just had a clue
So smile, smile
Smile, smile
Smile, smile...

On December 14th 1946 Jane Mallory Birkin was born in London, UK. She began her career as an actress at the age of 20.
In 1969 she met Serge Gainsbourg while co-starring with him in the film “Slogan”, and this encounter marked the beginning of a working and personal relationship that lasted for decades. In the same year Jane and Serge released the scandalous song “Je t'aime moi non plus”, which Brian covered with Asia Argento in 2002. She also acted in the same-titled controversial 1976 film under Gainsbourg's direction.

Jane also appeared on his 1971 concept album “Histoire de Melody Nelson”, she portrayed the Lolia-like teenage protagonist in the song and on the cover. With “Ballade de Melody Nelson” Brian also covered a song from that record.
After separating from Gainsbourg in 1980 Jane continued to work as both an actress and a singer, appearing in various independent films and recording numerous solo albums.
Birkin has resided mainly in France since the 1970s. She is the mother of photographer Kate Barry (d. 2013), actress and singer Charlotte Gainsbourg, and musician Lou Doillon. In her career she has released 14 studio and six live albums and starred in more than 70 film productions. Her humanitarian interests have also led her to work with Amnesty International on immigrant welfare and the AIDS problem.

The English actress, singer and model Birkin attained international fame for her decade-long musical and romantic partnership with Serge Gainsbourg. One of their most famous songs is ”Je t'aime... moi non plus” which was released in 1969 and caused an enormous scandal because of its sexual explicitness.

I guess we all know and love the cover version of ”Je t'aime... moi non plus” that Brian recorded for Dimitri Tikovoi's music project Trash Palace with Italian actress, singer and model Asia Argento in 2002. That's by the way an interesting similarity between the two women, isn't it?


Let's get back to ”Smile”, I haven't told you everything about this collaboration. The song was written by Brian and composer Rachel Corkett. Maybe her name sounds familiar to you because her husband Paul Corkett produced Placebo's third album ”Black market music”. I find it very interesting how all those people are connected with each other in different ways. How about you?


”Smile” was released as one of altogether 13 duets on Jane Birkin's album ”Rendez-vous” on March 29th 2004.

Brian, you had sung with Jane Birkin. I assume that this encounter had marked you ...

"It is unexpected to hear Brian Molko from Placebo on your album.
"Oh no! He knows Serge songs, he has already made a version of Melody Nelson, he played my part in a version of Je t'Aime Moi Non Plus. It's a very well-read boy, very clever. I thought only the French were so careful with the words, as with the English we just have to understand the title and we can dance. Brian Molko wrote a very strong, sassy song, in which he often has the cunning as Cole Porter, to throw a word on the next verse. Even my mother was absolutely delighted with the keeness of the thing: it is not a reverent song."

Don't stare at your face
With your nose out of place
At the wrinkles where zits used to be
And remember that smiling uses less muscles
And frowning just makes you look ugly

So smile, smile
And the whole world will smile with you
So smile, baby, smile
If the whole world just had a clue

Don't mess with your man
When he's selling you grams
He would kill you for less and then smile
And don't curse at a whore
As you open the door
coz your service wont be with a smile

So smile, smile
And the whole world smiles with you
And smile, baby, smile
If the whole world just had a clue

Don't sneer at your doctor
And Gamble & Procter
Coz they're just pawns in the game
The perfect prescription is one that you're given
it's filled out in jesus' name
Don't be scared of your preacher
Coz hes just a leech
Hes too busy cruising your ass
Theres a verse in the bible
That says we're all liable
For everything that comes to pass

So smile, smile
And the whole world smiles with you
So smile, baby, smile
If the whole world just had a clue
So smile, smile
Smile, smile
Smile, smile...
