Review

The title for "Tu vas me manquer" perplexed me.  "You going to me miss", yet everywhere I looked, it is translated as "I'm going to miss you".  Subject totally reversed.

Seems I'm not alone.  The explanation is; the translation could be made "you will be missing from me", but whilst it is a better translation for grammatical analysis in English, it's also pretty close to gibberish.

Dramatic song with Gims super voice.  Enjoy.  Don't miss anyone!
