Clair de lune
Paul Verlaine "Les Fêtes Galantes" 1869
Votre âme est un paysage choisi
Que vont charmant masques et bergamasques
Jouant du luth et dansant et quasi
Tristes sous leurs déguisements fantasques.
Tout en chantant sur le mode mineur
L'amour vainqueur et la vie opportune
Ils n'ont pas l'air de croire à leur bonheur
Et leur chanson se mêle au clair de lune,
Au calme clair de lune triste et beau,
Qui fait rêver les oiseaux dans les arbres
Et sangloter d'extase les jets d'eau,
Les grands jets d'eau sveltes parmi les marbres.

Every time I listen to this melody all I can do is crave a love to dance that I can dance this under the rain. While the song make me realize as well that love is just like the melody itself, full of joy, full of pain, full of mystery, possible to feel but impossible to understand…

omg same it's too perfect (I'm not complaining)
Axel Vogel
that is the best description EVER, ( not sarcastic) i love the tought of dancing in the rain and it makes me feel better if i understand love then to ignore it

Okay so for DAYS this tune has been stuck in my head. I didnt know where i heard it from, didnt know what it was called, all i knew was that it was a piano piece i've never heard. So i spent a whole day listening to piano pieces from many different pianists with only 3 seconds of the song in my head and when i heard this i was like "MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!" now this tune helps me calm down and relax.
