Green Door

It's the latest trend in LA nightlife. When a bar or lounge is beginning to wane in popularity, like Sideways Lounge or nearby Area Nightclub, the owners intervene with a complete makeover and regurgitation of a new nightspot. Green Door is located adjacent to Hollywood's Cabana Club in the space formerly occupied by Sunset Room/Sterling/Sideways Lounge. The new theme of the bar is parlor plush, equipped with antique settees and Venetian plastering to give it a old-world Hollywood theme. The crowd is quite good since opening, with Orlando Bloom and Drew Barrymore seeming to forget the space ever existed through its new entrance along an adjacent side street.

Love this song and Bar Rafaelli is in the video

J’ai jamais voulu t’dire je t’aime
Quand c’est pas vrai c’est pas la peine
Laisse-moi un peu de temps
Tu sauras un jour qui je suis vraiment
Toute la place que tu prends{Refrain:}
Je te dédie
Mon âme à Dieu, les larmes aux yeux
Je te dédie
Ma force et le feu d’un amour pour deux
Je te dédie
Les larmes aux yeux, ce que j’ai de mieux
Mes larmes aux yeux
Je te guiderai dans le noir
Mais je me perdrai si tu pars
J’ai plus le coeur à faire semblant
Alors prends la main que je te tends
Je suis prêt maintenant
{au Refrain}
Je sais ça ma pris longtemps
J’aurais dû le dire avant
Souvent le meilleur me passait devant
Toi mon ange mon étoile tu m’as fait oublier le mal
Comme un trait sur le passé
Je vois ma vie recommencer
Je te dédie
Je te dédie
