[Female alto vocal, expressive, resonant] [Sung entirely in French] [Piano-forward emotive art-pop, ambient neoclassical] [Intro] [Solo piano, lead voice, clear and prominent] [Rubato, slow tempo] [Four-note rising motif in C# minor, two bars only] [Warm analog pad enters under the second bar, very low in the mix] [No percussion] [Verse 1] [Female alto vocal, expressive, resonant, low and soft] [Piano arpeggios in C# minor, clear above the pad] [Short melodic fills between lines] [Slight ritardando at the end of each line] [Warm analog pad sustained, low in the mix] [Breath audible between lines] Il y avait une pièce derrière la porte, il y avait un grenier sous le toit, il y avait un tissu devant le visage, et toujours la même phrase : tu ne dois pas être vue. [Verse 2] [Female alto vocal, expressive, resonant, slightly firmer] [Piano answers each line with a short countermelody] [Tempo gently pushing forward] [Warm analog pad thins out line by line] [Silence and breath after each line] Aujourd'hui, personne ne ferme plus la porte. Un mot comme « respect », un mot comme « invité », et la femme s'efface de la place qui est la sienne. [Pre-Chorus] [Female alto vocal, expressive, resonant, rising softly] [Accelerando, tempo gradually quickening] [Piano runs rising in pitch, arpeggios widen] [Harmonic shift from C# minor toward A major] [Warm analog pad swells slowly] La tour est faite pour être vue. [Chorus] [Female alto vocal, expressive, resonant, full and open] [Tempo opens up, broader and warmer] [Piano with fuller chords and melodic octaves over the arpeggio] [Warm analog pads, wide and bright, below the piano] [A major] [No percussion, rhythm flows from vocal phrasing] Reste visible, reste visible, la lumière n'a pas besoin de permission. Reste visible, ne te cache pas pour eux, ta place est ici, au milieu du monde. [Break] [All instruments drop out] [Silence, one bar] [Female alto vocal, whispered, resonant] [Piano alone, one single low note] [Silence] Un jour, la tour est restée fermée. Parce que les femmes ont dit : non. [Silence] [Final Chorus] [A tempo, piano and warm analog pads return at full volume] [Female alto vocal, expressive, resonant, front and clear] [Piano in a higher register, fullest of the song] [Opening four-note motif returns in A major] [A major, resolved, brightest point of the song] [No percussion] Reste visible, reste visible, n'aie pas peur d'être vue telle que tu es. [Outro] [Piano alone, opening four-note motif in A major] [Slow ritardando] [Warm analog pads fade out first] [Female alto vocal, whispered, resonant] [Last chord rings out, then silence] Cette place est la tienne. Reste visible. [End]
