After producing a first album "Whisperwood" in 2005, she signs a deal with the label "Tot ou Tard" and records her second album in New York "Fairytale" with a first rate cast of musicians: Jeff Pevar, Sean Pelton and Francois Moutin. The release of this album in 2007 puts Constance in the line of the new folk singers emerging from France. If this album goes by the name Fairytale, it refers to the point of views she takes in her songs, bringing enchantment and magic to the real world, using dreams as a trademark "I would like to borrow the footsteps of a dreamer" she writes in her song Rendez-vous de novembre. Diluting utopia to reality, once you add poetry and music to it. In the year of 2009, after performing on many stages and touring throughout Europe, she publishes a children's audio book "A la bonne étoile" (Actes Sud/Tôt ou tard). Her musical journey continues in 2011 as she releases her third album "Once Twice" a complete cover of Da Silva's record "La tendresse des fous", a major figure of the French music scene. "Being a songwriter myself, it was very interesting for me to work on this project. I've always enjoyed using languages like I would use instruments, mixing both French and English in my songs. The landscape, the mood, the texture of the album already existed, I felt I was both songwriter and "songpainter", as if I was adding new colors and shades to a painting that was already there. Once Twice". In 2012, she records and produces an EP of five songs "Blue Green Tomorrows". A beautiful record led by acoustic guitars, blending a deep soft voice and tender lyrics, with an underlying subtle emotion leading you on a journey witch transcends borders and languages. Everything about Constance rimes with fluidity, her flowing melodies (Blue Green Tomorrows), the way she bounces from English to French (Manhattan), her ability to immerge herself inside a soulful country ballad (Resonance). An EP faithful to who she is: with her guitar and her dreams there's no doubt she has a song for you... EP "Blue Green Tomorrows", available since november 2012.

Le souffle d'un matin
Constance Amiot Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Que savent-ils de nos rendez-vous
Que savent-ils de nos adieux
De nos baisers dans d’autres cous
De nos attaches dans d’autres yeux
Nous suivent-ils à chaque rencontre
Comme des jaloux comme des curieux
À peser le pour et le contre
Je n’envie pas ces envieux

Je ne sais plus qui de tes amis
Ou qui des miens
Pensent que ça durera une nuit
Pas le souffle d’un matin

Que savent-ils des mots qui s’égarent
Comme des brebis en chemin
Sur les coteaux gris des boulevards
Ou dans le métropolitain
Que savent-ils du bonheur fugace
De se serrer l’un contre l’autre
Moi je ne vois pas ce qui les agace
Mais j’aime en partager la faute

Je ne sais plus qui de tes amis
Ou qui des miens
Pensent que ça durera une nuit
Pas le souffle d’un matin

Que savent-ils du temps où s’enroule
Ma respiration éperdue
Quand je te cherche dans la foule
Et crois que tu ne viendras plus
Nous suivent-ils à chaque rencontre
Comme des jaloux comme des envieux

Au fond qu’est-ce que ça leur raconte
Si on s’aime chaque jour un peu mieux
