Although I have no understanding of French, this is such an unbelievably beautiful song. It's hard to put into words how I feel about this song... but for me, it is about the experience of grief and loss - not just romance issues, but life in general. As Camille says in the linear notes for Le Fil, "That month, someone fell from a tower as I fell in love." It is a song that speaks of hindsight - looking back, wiser for all your pain, and seeing things as they (and you) once were. It is a song about loving, learning, building, losing, and becoming.
The quiet a capella English lines before Camille and choir loudly (beautifully) break loose is possibly my favourite part of the whole song: "I'll never reach the sun/I'll never ever know if he is still alive..."
Such a powerful piece of music! And sung so amazingly by Ms Camille too.
