Je jouerai ce soir, mon numéro de toute mon âme, l'esquissant jusque dans la croix de ses larmes... Laissez-moi rêver que je suis-elle, c'est mon modèle, soir après soir, me transformer en star...
Paroles et musique: Lyonel Pariss
Arrangements: Thomas David

Laissez-moi Rêver - Remixe (hommage à Mireille Mathieu)

Frédéric François Chopin (French pronunciation: [fʁe.de.ʁik ʃɔ.pɛ̃]; Polish: Fryderyk Franciszek Chopin;[1] 22 February or 1 March 1810[2] – 17 October 1849) was a Polish composer, virtuoso pianist, and music teacher of French–Polish parentage. He was one of the great masters of Romantic music and has been called "the poet of the piano".

Frédéric François Chopin  (Op. 11) - Romance

“Final Voyage, Home” is a quiet, cinematic farewell — a gentle piece about arriving at the end of life and finding, improbably and beautifully, that home has been waiting for you all along. The track follows one last walk along a familiar shoreline; as the tide whispers and the light shifts, Wilf — a tuxedo cat who has gone before — pads up and sits at my side. There’s a small, wordless recognition: it’s time. Looking up, a great cruise ship appears on the horizon, bathed in warm, otherworldly light. Onboard are the faces of everyone I’ve loved and lost, and those I’ve loved and kept: a congregation of ordinary saints waiting to welcome me on my final journey.

Musically, the arrangement mirrors that slow step toward acceptance — spare piano and low strings and horns carry the weight, The track is less about drama and more about arrival: a calm, reverent goodbye that feels like a hand being taken. It’s intimate, hopeful and, at its core, grateful.
