La Colline De Blueberry Hill
Eddy Mitchell Lyrics

The lyrics of Eddy Mitchell's song "La Colline de Blueberry Hill" narrate the story of a place called Blueberry Hill that has undergone significant changes over the years. The song takes the listener on a journey to the top of the hill where the memories of the past are engraved on a rock. The first verse of the song talks about how the hearts of people who once lived in Blueberry Hill are still there and the memories of the times they had on top of that hill are still vivid in their hearts.

However, the following verse goes on to describe how Blueberry Hill has changed over time, with the implantation of HLMs (low-cost, substandard housing) and buildings, and the ruthless demolition of the old casino and cinema. The new world is full of hostility and the old charm has been replaced by a heart of concrete. The song goes on to highlight how the old piano of Fats Domino will no longer be heard in these parts, and how their memories of times gone by are now stuck under a parking lot.

The song is a poignant ode to nostalgia and loss, where the singer is witnessing the change in a place where memories were once made, but now only remnants remain. The song talks about how the physical landscape of a place might change, but the emotional connection of the people who once lived there remains constant.
