Song Information
Michel Jourdan and Julie D'Aimé (she had already worked for Patricia Kaas) wrote the text, while Calogero and his brother Gioacchino composed the music, as for the other tracks on the album. The song is a pop/ballad song in which the singer evokes the absence of his father and how he misses him. He expresses that he would be happy if his father had a relationship with him.
"Si seulement je pouvais lui manquer" was a part of many French compilations released in 2005, such as Hits For Teens, Les Plus Belles Voix 4, Hit Connection - Best of 2005, Hits Superstars 2005, Only Hits 2005 and Les Plus Belles Ballades. It was also available on the charity album Solidarité Asie, as fourth track.
The song was performed by the singer during his first concerts tour and was thus included on the live album Live 1.0 (ninth track, CD 1). For the moment, there are two cover versions of the song : first, in 2007, by Amel Bent, Francis Cabrel, Jean-Jacques Goldman and Raphaël for Les Enfoirés' album La Caravane des Enfoirés, on which it is the sixth track; then, in 2008, by Vox Angeli on their eponymous album (second track, 3:06).

Famous quotes containing the words song and/or information:
“Lest all the song notes
pause and break
across a blood-stained throat
gone songless,
turn back.”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
“But while ignorance can make you insensitive, familiarity can also numb. Entering the second half-century of an information age, our cumulative knowledge has changed the level of what appalls, what stuns, what shocks.”
