about
Beaucoup de gens m'ont dit aimer cette chanson, et notamment la mélodie, ce qui me surprend toujours étant donné les circonstances de sa composition. Souvent, j'invente mes mélodies à partir de rien, ce sont elles le point de départ du morceau. Pour cette chanson, j'ai joué la suite d'accords du couplet pendant plusieurs semaines, sans poser d'air dessus, et un jour j'ai eu envie de mettre des paroles : cette mélodie m'est venue naturellement, alors même que je n'entendais rien auparavant dans ma tête en jouant ces accords. C'était presque une mélodie au hasard, en somme.
Many people told me how much they like this song and its melody, which kind of surprises me giving the circumstances of the composition. I often create the melodies out of nothing, they are the starting point of the song. But for this particular song, the basis was a chord sequence I've been playing for weeks, without even humming a tune over it. One day I just wanted to add lyrics : the melody came naturally as I was writing these lyrics, even though I had nothing in mind until then. I guess it was almost a random melody...
