Lyrics, Music and Video
The text deals about a perfect love dreamt by the narrator. In the song, Patricia Kaas sings "the refuge of the dreamlike and the gap with the reality. The verses depict the tragic of the dissatisfied daily life, the refrain brings the desired love and declines it with tenderness, romance and cliches." However, this dream is eventually cruel because it does not materialize.
There are two studio versions of the song : the first is the album version, the more acoustic, and the second is the single version, which is used in the music video. It was shot on a beach in Miami, Florida, and shows Kaas clasping a man portraying her boyfriend on the beach, while some men are watching them quietly in the background.

Famous quotes containing the words music and/or video:
“As if, as if, as if the disparate halves
Of things were waiting in a betrothal known
To none, awaiting espousal to the sound
Of right joining, a music of ideas, the burning
And breeding and bearing birth of harmony,
The final relation, the marriage of the rest.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
“It is among the ranks of school-age children, those six- to twelve-year-olds who once avidly filled their free moments with childhood play, that the greatest change is evident. In the place of traditional, sometimes ancient childhood games that were still popular a generation ago, in the place of fantasy and make- believe play . . . today’s children have substituted television viewing and, most recently, video games.”
—Marie Winn (20th century)
