Youn Sun Nah - My Favorite Things (Music Video)

Crillon Compositions is a deeply personal orchestral suite, born from a journey that began with musical sketches and youthful piano doodles at age 19 at the famed Hôtel de Crillon , and culminating in a sweeping symphonic vision as the composer clebrated his 35th birthday at the Crillon. These newly revised and recorded works honor the enduring influence of French classical tradition—Debussy & Ravel—infused with the modern emotional landscapes of the grandeur of Rachmaninov. From brooding chamber pieces to cinematic overtures, the album embodies the conflict and beauty of legacy, identity, and time beneath the marbled hush of a Parisian palace.

Desireless
VOYAGE VOYAGE
Paroles et musique: J.-M. Rivat - D. Dubois, 1987

Au dessus des vieux volcans,
Glisse des ailes sous les tapis du vent,
Voyage, voyage,
Éternellement.
De nuages en marécages,
De vent d'Espagne en pluie d'équateur,
Voyage, voyage,
Vole dans les hauteurs
Au dessus des capitales,
Des idées fatales,
Regarde l'océan...

Voyage, voyage
Plus loin que la nuit et le jour, (voyage voyage)
Voyage (voyage)
Dans l'espace inouï de l'amour.
Voyage, voyage
Sur l'eau sacrée d'un fleuve indien, (voyage voyage)
Voyage (voyage)
Et jamais ne revient.

Sur le Gange ou l'Amazone,
Chez les blacks, chez les sikhs, chez les jaunes,
Voyage, voyage
Dans tout le royaume.
Sur les dunes du Sahara,
Des îles Fidji au Fujiyama,
Voyage, voyage,
Ne t'arrêtes pas.
Au dessus des barbelés,
Des coeurs bombardés,
Regarde l'océan.

Voyage, voyage
Plus loin que la nuit et le jour, (voyage voyage)
Voyage (voyage)
Dans l'espace inouï de l'amour.
Voyage, voyage
Sur l'eau sacrée d'un fleuve indien, (voyage voyage)
Voyage (voyage)
Et jamais ne revient.
