This song wants talks about how important it is to be able to find beauty in simple things, which are often within reach. Is this perhaps the secret to happiness? A question that obviously remains unanswered. It was constructed musically in a somewhat curious way, using two musical objects written exactly twenty years apart from each other
The original musical objects
The first (m025) is from August 2003 and is a normal and simple verse+chorus sequence, of piano inspiration, with a solo voice suggesting the melodic part.
The second (m055) is from August 2023 and was born as an instrumental object, with sequences of 4 ascending and descending notes. In the final part the two objects are superimposed, almost as if to represent a temporal fade. The sounds are soft and sunny at the same time, perhaps a little ‘Floydian’ in the use of the glide guitar with repeated echoes
Original lyrics (in French)
Prends-moi tout ce que tu veux
Le temps qui passe
La lumiere, les espaces
Et donne-moi tout ce que tu peux
Tes années d'or
Tes raisons tes erreurs
Soyons toujours ensemble
Même si le ciel est gris
Le vent qui nous enchante
N'amenera pas la pluie
Une voile et un bateau pour nous
Une voile et un bateau pour nous
Que pour nous
English translation
Take from me everything you want
The passing of time
Light, spaces
And give me everything you can
Your golden years
Your reasons your mistakes
Let's always be together
Even if the sky is gray
The wind that enchants us
Won't bring rain
A sail and a boat for us
A sail and a boat for us
Only for us
