"We had common interests in the beauty of the French language. We both had a tremendous love of jazz. We shared dreams of getting married and having a family, living in the country, leading an idyllic life"
About this Quote
The subtext is that compatibility is being measured in shared listening and shared speech - the private rituals that make a life feel curated. It’s also a portrait of optimism with a hairline crack. The phrase “idyllic life” is doing heavy lifting; it’s not just a plan, it’s a genre. “Living in the country” isn’t rural realism, it’s pastoral escape, a wish to step out of the noise of scenes and cities into something simpler, authored, controllable.
Coming from Amram, a figure tied to the crosscurrents of classical, jazz, and Beat-era culture, the context matters: artists who spent their nights in clubs and studios often dreamed in daylight of stability. The quote’s intent feels less like nostalgia than like documentation - the way musicians remember love by remembering what it sounded like.
