Imagine your thoughts turning into paper birds that take off under the moonlight and glide straight to the window of someone you love. That is the playful, dream-like mood of Tu Me Corresponds by French troubadour Francis Cabrel. The singer pictures his poems, worries and wishes sneaking out of his mind at night, wrapping themselves in seasonal coats, then landing softly on the balcony of the woman who corresponds to him in every sense. Even when distance keeps them apart, he trusts that his words will light up her living room, swirl around her shoulders like flower petals and start a secret dance on her forehead.
Behind the charming images is a simple, universal feeling: an irresistible need to connect. Cabrel admits he cannot fully control his desires; each one escapes in search of her. He fantasizes about having the power to orbit the Earth, press himself against her iron shutters and stay there for good. The song becomes a tender ode to romantic correspondence, reminding us that when two souls truly match, no border—physical or emotional—can stop their letters, melodies or dreams from finding their way.
