As mentioned in those posts, Françoise Hardy recorded a version of the song Son Amour Pour Un Jeu in English under the title Strange Shadows (and this was more recently covered in a dreamy, mellotron-tinged version by Fabienne Delsol). Françoise also recorded her own French language version, L'Ombre. And this is what Darby has requested.
The recording has the same arrangement as Strange Shadows, and I'd be willing to bet the same instrumental backing was used for both, however the French version has just a little more yearning in the vocal, which just clinches it for me.

Thanks, Dom!! Wonderful version by Françoise, she makes any and everything sound great :)
Yes I've been giving the album this is from (Soleil) a lot more listens since posting this track - It's fast becoming a new Françoise favourite!
