Blanchard's latest album, Les Filles Du Cardinal, is a stunning tribute to the women of New Orleans who have shaped the city's unique culture and history. The album features a mix of traditional and original songs, all of which are infused with the energy and passion of the band's hometown.

The song's lyrics, which speak of the joys and sorrows of life, are set to a haunting melody that lingers in the listener's mind long after the song has ended.
