Max Ehrmann’s Desiderata is a gentle manifesto for the human spirit, written with the clarity of wisdom that comes not from abstraction but from lived experience. First published in 1927, the poem speaks in a calm, almost parental voice, guiding the listener toward a life of quiet dignity amid the disorder of the modern world. Its opening injunction—“Go placidly amid the noise and haste”—establishes both its tone and its philosophy: serenity is not the absence of chaos, but a way of moving through it.

La seule personne avec laquelle on vivra tout au long de notre vie, c'est nous. Ma maison en fleurs, c'est l'intimité et la difficulté d'être au monde parfois. C'est l'idée que l'on reste sa propre maison, même dans l'incendie. Pauline Bilisari y parle du rapport à soi, au corps, et à tout ce que l'on est. Elle écrit la santé mentale, la souffrance de vivre, et la force que l'on porte en soi, même lorsqu'on l'oublie.

Spring is a time of rebirth and renewal, when the world emerges from the slumber of winter and blossoms into a tapestry of vibrant colors and sweet scents. The air is filled with the fragrance of fresh blooms and the sweet aroma of freshly cut grass, as nature awakens from its hibernation and comes to life once again. The beauty of spring is not just in its stunning visuals and intoxicating scents, but also in the feeling of hope and new beginnings that it brings.

The Native-Born is Rudyard Kipling in full, booming voice—an ode to homeland, heritage, and the fierce pride of those raised under blazing southern skies. Through vivid imagery and pulsing rhythm, Kipling toasts the people of the far-flung British colonies: the “Sons of the Golden South,” the settlers and workers who carved their lives into vast prairies, tin-roofed towns, and coastlines battered by sun and sea.

Inspiré du mythe de Perséphone, il célèbre la voix des femmes, leur force créatrice, les liens qui les rattachent au vivant, à l'amour et à l'animalité, ce qui rayonne en elles et perce le monde des ombres pour renaître sans cesse à la vie. Cette version est une lecture du texte original, interprétée par l'autrice et mise en musique par François-Pierre Fol (violoncelle) et Troy Von Balthazar (guitare, clavier) qui a aussi composé des chansons inédites en bonus. La basse sur One Happy Song est d'Antoine Brunet. Ce projet a bénéficié du soutien du Centre National du Livre.
