Discover the story of the song > Le Paradis blanc – Michel Berger

- "Le Paradis blanc" is a song written, composed and performed by Michel Berger for the album Ça ne tient pas debout released in 1990.
- The song evokes for some the sweetness of death. It also evokes for others the renunciation of a man facing the suffering of the world. It is a song about ecology, dear to the singer. This explains the references to the ice pack (the problems of melting ice and the effects of pollution on the climate have been known since at least the 1970s) and the song of a whale at the beginning.
- The song "Vivre", recorded in 1980 but excluded from the album Beauséjour for lack of space, already evokes, ten years before Paradis Blanc, the ecological concerns of the artist.
