Eighth from the album "(fr) agile"

Music: Véronique Sanson & Yves Duteil, Lyrics: Yves Duteil

With music composed with Veronique Sanson, this song symbolizes more than any other character "(fr) agile" on the album. Vero is given to music as it flows into the void. The track is a little fly in free fall with open arms, but suddenly, the air that takes you is a godsend.

The composition of the two "air" there was a magic moment of sharing. We are succeeding at the keyboard in a "four hands" unexpected, unlikely, suspended between music and love. Reached the end of the tune, we just seem to have caught a cloud with a butterfly net.

We are left with Noelle, late at night with this little treasure of a simple audio cassette dictaphone ... After this moment of complicity or Vero was so endearing, so touching, so true, the words have emerged as a tribute to his talent to his generosity. Balance (en) agile, she had entrusted her life on camera *, in a long interview uncompromising, lucid and sensible, through the gentle family, flaming passions and pleasures lost, "with its shadows and light" ...

By redoing the road to hell, she revisited with a smile softened the trials and emotions, hopes and sorrows, the tragedies and great joys of his life, to discover to better understand ...
I trembled to submit the text of the song. I weighed each word so that the images are true, they sound just like the soul and vibrant, soft and violent at a time, in revolt against the pain of living. I just wanted to tell him our immense affection and the esteem it inspires us ...

"You have made ​​us fly so high
By filing on your tempo,
Oases in the desert
And spring to the winter ... "

Seven from the album "(fr) agile"

(Words and Music Yves Duteil)

Under his closed eyelids, face, to build roads ... Its silences are full of questions, hope and doubt, and she knows, for failing to lose, how all the happiness are valuable. She never let go, it moves in the face of storms, sowing the spring on its way, and at night, when everything falls asleep, she watches with a boundless love on the fate of those who put their heart into his hands ...

"Wake up ...
She draws a smile in the sun
Every evening she prepares a happiness for tomorrow
She sleeps only if all died ... "

Sixth from the album "(fr) agile" ...

Message from a father to his daughter, love letter and portrait both marks of tenderness and admiration, arms and heart open with modesty and discretion. Life rests on our frailties a tumult of questions, whose answers are still written anywhere. It can only be a (re) father above the surf, a look posed "like a lighthouse on the pier," which illuminates without license, a benevolent presence, soothing refuge ..

"... Love you,
As we like a sleeping child
Be a mooring in all your ports
Without board,
Love you all sails. "
