Influenced by Jacques Brel, Barbara, Angèle, Claude Debussy. Élise Vermeil grew up the only child of Moroccan shopkeepers in Schaerbeek, Brussels, acting as her family's French translator from the age of eight. She learned piano in secret, trading groceries for lessons with an elderly neighbor on an out-of-tune Pleyel. Her witty, literary chansons, born from late nights playing in hotel bars and early mornings wandering the city's flea markets, map the intricate territory of being caught between two cultures and a thousand tiny heartbreaks.

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Treizième août, 1695.
Le crépuscule vernit les pignons de la Grand-Place.
Ô Bruxelles, je te vousvoie, pleine de confiance,
Tu ignores la mèche qui crache déjà sa sentence.

[Chorus]
Et on danse, on danse
Comme si demain n'était qu'une rumeur,
Une simple malfaçon
Sur le cadastre du bonheur.

[Verse 2]
L'odeur du houblon qui fermente, rue des Bouchers.
Un rire d'enfant qui cartographie le quartier.
Et je te touche, métal froid de la statue,
Comme une promesse qui ne sera pas tenue.

[Chorus]
Et on danse, on danse
Comme si demain n'était qu'une rumeur,
Une simple malfaçon
Sur le cadastre du bonheur.

[Bridge]
La radio grésille un message d'une autre guerre.
Il a dit, je cite : "Bruxelles brûlera. C'est plus facile à viser."
(Beat switch)
Et la basse tombe, tombe, tombe…

[Chorus]
Et on danse, on danse
Comme si demain n'était qu'une rumeur,
Une simple malfaçon
Sur le cadastre du bonheur.

[Outro]
Juste avant les flammes.
Juste le plan de la joie.
