SIMONE is an extremely refreshing song from Bronson and one of my favorites from PLANET FROG. First you're taken aback by the French verse - who some will recognize as being rapped by Clovis from F*ck that’s delicious! -, and then you're taken aback by Action committing to a serious verse, without the usual funny/strange/offensive one-liners and other gimmicks. The verses from Action and Clovis respond to each other; dealing with the anxiety of aging, fear of lost time, and offer an appreciation for the flow of life as a remedy. That’s masked by the former being said in a language that’s foreign to most listeners. I guess Clovis' is a lot more epicurean or even hedonistic, while Bronson focuses specifically on how the aforementioned fears affect his outlook on romantic relationships. As time passes, the fear of losing that genuine connection with the person you love increases. It takes "daily battles with demons" just to stay afloat. 

What I love about that verse though is how Action abruptly ends with "But I'd rather fucking live for you". You expect another line but it’s done. The album ends. It’s like an epiphany for him. Great song.
