Feel the tide rising under your feet as Gaël Faye invites us onto a secret beach where only two lovers exist. In Marée Haute ("High Tide") the outside world is full of “demons” trying to drag the couple through the mud, yet the singer’s passion swells like a rushing sea. He celebrates a love so intense that even water left on the stove starts to boil, and every toast becomes a small rebellion against negativity. Tropical colors swirl through the lyrics – a morna melody from Cape Verde, the bright strum of a cavaquinho, wide Brazilian arms of Corcovado – painting their romance as a sunset cruise that refuses to end.
Faye’s message is simple and joyous: block out the noise, hold each other’s gaze, and raise a glass “à la vie, à l’amour” – to life and to love. If the world feels heavy, sail away on this song’s rhythm; let its high-tide affection wash every worry from the shore.
