Already, the album has had FAR more promotion then her last two. That in itself is a big deal. Sony seems to being paying attention this time. So I think there is a lot of potential for this album.

I think Psychédélices had A LOT more promotion than this one!

My first impression from the intro is that it sounds like music from a movie (almost like some of Benjamin Biolay's stuff), see here-- which is a classy move, I think, as it suits her voice well. And I'm beginning to really get into it, on my second listen. I'm debating whether or not it has the potential to be a big radio hit, but if the whole album is like this, it's going to be great! Really, really pleased. If one thing could be different, I think it her voice could be a bit more center-stage, no?

The song's chorus keeps getting me hooked everytime i hear it

For me I think I like the intro best... especially that deep guitar bit that kicks in around 15 seconds.

Edit: The thing I like about this song is: It only took me once listening to it to like it. It took me several times of watching and listening to her other songs such as Moi...Lolita, L'Alize, ACC and others before I really liked them. The same is true with Psych and UEDS.
However, with this song, I've only listened to it once and I could play this song in my head already!

That was the very first thing I did once it hit the Internet.

Has anyone come up with anything else for the lyrics, especially for the question-mark parts?

Quand les feuilles tombent
dans les rues sombres
sous nos pas

Et quand en plein jour
tout tourne court
et tout s'éteint

Tout va trop vite vers l'amour en fuite
A cause de l'automne je te quitte
Vivre en aquarium me rend triste
Si je fuis, c'est à cause de l'automne, de l'automne
Les couleurs s'effacent et me pardonnent
Les amours se lassent et abandonnent
A cause, à cause de l'autoumne

Je, je n'aime plus par la fenêtre voir cette scène
Si je vagabonde dans la pénombre
Tout comme ???

Tout va trop vite vers l'amour en fuite
A cause de l'automne je te quitte
S'il te plait, pardonne je vais (fais?) vite
Si je fuis, c'est à cause de l'automne, de l'automne
S'il nous cache encore sous des tonnes ???
De mensonges et de torts, c'est en somme
A cause, à cause de l'automne

Here's a rough English translation:

When leaves are falling
in dark roads
beneath our feet

And when in daylight
Everything comes to a stop
And dies away

Everything is rushing off too quickly toward runaway love
I’m leaving you because of the fall
Life in a fishbowl is sad
If I’m running away, it’s because of the fall
Because of the fall
Colors fade and forgive me
Love grows weary and drops off
Because of the fall, because of the fall

I, I no longer enjoy seeing this scene out the window
If I wander in the shadows
Just like ….

Everything is rushing off too quickly toward runaway love
Please forgive me, I move fast
If I’m running away, it’s because of the fall
Because of the fall
If ….
Of lies and wrongdoings, it’s in the end
Because of the fall, because of the fall

this will say everything what I want to say...

Thanks for the translation!


Now, I don't know who or what this song was written about, but I can already see some things in there that could relate to Lili. The talk of lost love, lies and wrong doing? Could be something to do with the marriage that seems to be over.

Life in a fishbowl being sad, could have to do with the time period of JEAM, not have a lot of control over her own life, feeling tapped.


Hehehe it's been so long that we have had a new song to speculate about!

Well I agree with everyone who says the song has a 60's kind of vibe to it. It definitely is structured that way. Her singing is good and I am so happy she is singing in her deeper register. In my opinion, it's one of her early trademarks. And I'm very happy to hear harmony in the chorus, it adds so much to the song. The quality of the production seems really good. Overall, I like it.

I'm not sure how it would do as a single as far as sales go, but it definitely shows that Alizée has made some changes that I think will benefit her.
