"argent" is literally silver. if you know the periodic table, silver is Ag. umm, i think in French (like Spanish sometimes, plata) they call money silver. so it could be "the woman of money" or "the woman of silver." either way, i don't hear anything any woman in the song, but i guess it has a feminine sound to it. i agree with B.B. Salt, that part where the piano is just playing and then the bass gets added, and then the sweeping synth and builds up. i <3 the tambourine.
should watch the music vid. it's a little different from the studio version (i like the solo piano better in the video). has some nice explanatory notes (of the whole album) and them playing their instruments. i still don't see how La Femme d'Argent fits into the "the musical feeling of mysterious destiny that you get when you look up at the Milky Way in the sky." because there are raining sounds in the song, it doesn't seem as spacey as the other tracks. unless it's raining when you first go outside, and then it clears up and then you see the moon. and then it rains again during the piano solo.
finally, i love how no one part is the same. they're all different. sorry this is so long compared to the other posts.
