On Dit Qu’on Ne Pleure Pas Dans L’eau is a dreamy, sea-sprayed conversation about belonging. Gaëtan Roussel and guest vocalist Matthieu Chedid ping-pong questions that we have all asked ourselves: Where is my real home? What truly calms me down? From shooting stars and makeshift tents to cliff-top villas and the Greek island of Milos, every image suggests that “home” is less a place than a feeling we carry while drifting through life.
The hypnotic refrain “on dit qu’on ne pleure pas dans l’eau” (people say you cannot cry in water) hints at a clever escape: if your tears dissolve into the sea, no one can see your sadness. Yet the song stays hopeful. The desert keeps us company, the sky reminds us nightly that we are in this together, and the waves both separate and unite us. It is an invitation to let your worries float, trust the next unknown journey, and remember that even in chaos we remain connected by the same water, the same sky, and the same whispered promise of tomorrow.
