Beyond the show following them and their contemporaries rehearsing and performing for the first time in a decade, it ultimately jumpstarted B*Witched’s second chapter—while allowing them to appreciate what they were able to achieve the first time around.
“I’m still quite happy to sing ‘C’est La Vie,’” Keavy revealed, “because it’s an electric moment—it really is. There are so many ups in that song, from the guitar riff right at the start, and then the music in the middle, and the chorus, like, it just keeps extending, and the energy and the hysteria reaction just keeps growing.”
To which Lindsay chimed in, “It’s amazing how it stood the test of time—like, it was a pop song in the ‘90s and now, all this time later, it’s still played, it’s still appreciated, it’s still enjoyed. That’s something that we could never have known back then.”
Although in many ways their biggest track is, as Sinéad put it, “the song that keeps on giving,” there was a time where Edele was ready to put it behind her.
“I fell out with it for a bit,” she admitted. “I was like, ‘I’m really sick of singing this.’ And then I did a stage theater show. And the cast did it, but I didn’t—which was really an unusual choice—but I got to kind of sit at that point and see it from the audience perspective. Then I understood it from a different viewpoint, so I’ve come back on board.”
