A painting, a piece of music, a poem, a novel, a culinary preparation, a particular landscape…

‘Even if I have to let go of your hand – without being able to say “see you tomorrow” – nothing will ever undo our ties… even if I have to go further – burn bridges, change trains – love is stronger than sorrow…’. This song has beautiful lyrics, an airy melody and Françoise Hardy’s inimitable voice.

OK Computer, a legendary album released in 1997, addresses the negative aspects of modern society through progressive and haunting music that would go on to revolutionise the late ’90s and influence the alternative scene.

This is one of my favourite comic albums – alongside ‘QRN sur Bretzelburg’ and ‘Le Prisonnier du Bouddha’ – depicting the many adventures of Spirou and Fantasio.

Released on the band’s 1969 album Abbey Road, this song comprises a three-voice harmony, recorded three times, resulting in a total of nine voices. Its structure and lyrics are of a (seemingly) simple and efficient nature.
This UNESCO World Heritage Site, with its four hydraulic boat lifts, is one of my favourite places to go to recharge my batteries, by taking long walks or working up a sweat while jogging.
