Paix

(

)

... that Catherine Ribeiro's 1972 album Paix contains a nearly 25-minute-long song about meeting a female personification of death? Source: The lyrics of "Un jour... la mort", which takes up the entire second side of the album, describe "meeting" "a female Death".

Interesting good article, on fine sources, no copyvio obvious. The hook works for me. I trust that you'll fix ref 12. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:17, 30 June 2022 (UTC)

@PianoUpMyNose and Gerda Arendt:

I'm going to be a stickler on this one, and invoke WP:DYKSG#C6 – I think that in general, a hook about a song that only details the story the song tells falls afoul of the rule. Is there a more real-world hook to be found? theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/they) 09:04, 6 July 2022 (UTC)

I don't accept that, sorry. I think the key information is the enormous duration, wile the information duration of what is extra. Also, the female death is not "story" but telling what kind of story. - Didn't you say you wanted to go to bed? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:14, 6 July 2022 (UTC)

As I've just added to the article, the song was inspired by a real-world suicide attempt. How's that? PianoUpMyNose (talk) 16:13, 6 July 2022 (UTC)

@PianoUpMyNose: I won't hold up approval, but that's not a bad factoid for the hook, if you can nip and tuck it in! theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/they) 10:58, 10 July 2022 (UTC)

@PianoUpMyNose: hmm, but I can't verify the length of the song from the Impose source? theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/they) 12:19, 13 July 2022 (UTC)

@Theleekycauldron: Try the Quietus source. PianoUpMyNose (talk) 13:00, 13 July 2022 (UTC)

copied the citation, so that's good to go! theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/they) 10:47, 15 July 2022 (UTC)

The Quietus source says, "As its 25-minute closer ‘Un Jour... La Mort’ simmers out" and I could not verify the "nearly 25 minute" part, so I am proposing an ALT below:

ALT0a: ... that Catherine Ribeiro's 1972 album Paix contains a 25-minute-long song about meeting a female personification of death?
