Picture three young friends crammed into a living-room full of sheet music and half-tuned instruments. Every Thursday they wrestle with the same tricky fugue, a piece so beautiful that when Eléonore begins the theme on piano the others stop playing just to listen. Between missed notes, broken strings, and neighbors knocking on the wall, they laugh, restart at “fa-mi, fa-mi-ré,” and break for afternoon snacks while cheerfully saluting their unseen mentor, Jean-Sébastien Bach.
Maxime Le Forestier turns this lighthearted rehearsal scene into a tender ode to friendship and nostalgia. When Eléonore eventually leaves with the tuning fork, the little trio drifts apart, yet the fugue itself lives on like a time capsule. Every time the singer hears those familiar harmonies, spring returns, memories bloom, and the magic of making music together feels as fresh as ever. The song reminds us that even imperfect performances can create perfect moments that last a lifetime.
