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:
“In song and dance man expresses himself as a member of a higher community: he has forgotten how to walk and speak and is on the way toward flying up into the air, dancing.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“Many more children observe attitudes, values and ways different from or in conflict with those of their families, social networks, and institutions. Yet today’s young people are no more mature or capable of handling the increased conflicting and often stimulating information they receive than were young people of the past, who received the information and had more adult control of and advice about the information they did receive.”
—James P. Comer (20th century)
