Le ballet
"With Le Ballet, Celine admits, it was the first time I sang Blues."
For Celine, in a way, it is a metaphor of her meeting with her audience.
Regarde-moi
The rhythm becomes harder with every second and the woman can't accept her man's tiredness.
Pour que tu m'aimes encore
It is Celine's favorite song on the album D'Eux. Jean-Jacques Goldman wrote it late in 1994.
"Pour que tu m'aimes encore, Celine tells, the first song heard, the first recorded, at once reminded me L'hymne à l'amour by Edith Piaf. The same subject, the same structure, the same woman consumed by love. It is a hymn to wild, possessed, possessive, definitive love, as mine... We knew while we were recording that now it will be part of my life."

Quelqu'un que j'aime, quelqu'un qui m'aime
(Erown / Luc Plamondon) À quoi ça sert D'avoir L'univers à mes pieds Si solitaire Ce soir Dans ma chambre à L.A. Je voudrais avoir... Quelqu'un que j'aime Quelqu'un à qui donner Quelqu'un qui m'aime Avec qui tout partager Quelqu'un que j'aime Quelqu'un à qui parler Quelqu'un qui m'aime À qui j'pourrais au moins téléphoner

La mémoire d'Abraham
There is a reference to Marek Halter's book, La Mémoire d'Abraham, talking about a Jewish family for 2000 years. It released in France in November 1983. This timeless song reminds the exiles' prayers, it addresses Abraham, the Hebrew patriarch who would be the Israelites' ancestor.
"I wrote it ten years earlier, Goldman said. I quickly realized that it wasn't for me, so then, I waited for the good interpreter."
The song evolves on a slow tempo, quite in sharpness and in thoughtlessness, elegance and sensibility.

Les derniers seront les premiers
At first sight, the lyrics seem sad... However they are optimistic: whatever your misery, one day it will be reversed.
Celine loves this song; she worries about those who are in the need, she sends them this message of hope.

Destin
This song reveals Celine's life, it is a kind of a mini-biography of her career as a international singer.
J'irai où tu iras
(Duet with Jean-Jacques Goldman) This is an up-tempo song with flights of voice which reveals Celine's energy.
