Discover the story of the song > Il fait gris – Mélanie Laurent

The lyrics describe a gray day where the protagonist's partner is playing music on the bed. The protagonist watches the time go by and knows that tomorrow she will be leaving and someone else will take her place. The partner will play simple melodies and the days without her will be lazy. Despite the sunny weather outside, the protagonist wants to stay but knows she has to leave on a train. The lyrics express that tomorrow the partner will be out of the protagonist's mind, body, and spirit and will be with someone else. The days without the partner will become old. The rest of the lyrics talk about how the protagonist has to continue her life without the partner. The absence of the partner has made her cry too many times and she needs to learn to get used to it. Each summer announces a winter and she needs to accept that fact. The overall mood of the song is melancholic and describes the feelings of being separated from a loved one.
