Claire Pichet Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When Im asleep in Cascade Street
When Im asleep in Cascade Street
I dont, I dont
See anything

When Im asleep in Cascade Street
When Im asleep in Cascade Street
I hear, I hear
Nothing, nothing

In the cascade, in the cascade
You washed me

When I wake up in Cascade Street
When I wake up in Cascade Street
I feel nothing
I feel nothing

When Im asleep in Cascade Street
When Im asleep in Cascade Street
I dont remember
I dont remember

In the cascade, in the cascade
You washed me

When I wake up in Cascade Street
When I wake up in Cascade Street
I feel nothing
I feel nothing





In the cascade, in the cascade
You washed me

Gorgeous! This man's songs take me to another dimension I wish I could stay in forever, entire different world. Pure masterpieces! We need more minds like his, fresh new creations in every piece of music. So bad so many of his pieces are short but as magical as they can ever be. Chapeau!

@dimetiltriptapato

Absolutamente hermoso, preciosa voz de Claire Pichet.

@NofirstnameNolastname

One of the best versions of this song without a doubt..

@kirrin8447

I'm also in love with Yann Tiersen. one of the few discographies i can listen too in its entirety. his ability to tell a story in his music is phenomenal.

@bsantosmx

@RobertLeCalvez

Une voix, une heure, un temps.
L'envoi c'est l'heure, j'entends.
L'image collée de Claire.
Un printemps, oublié, s'éclaire.
Z'adore. ;-)
