Les Heures Bleues

Berry's song 'Les Heures Bleues' is a poetic exploration of love and belief, wrapped in a delicate and mystical atmosphere. The lyrics juxtapose different forms of faith and superstition with the singer's unwavering devotion to their beloved. The song opens with references to coffee grounds reading, omens, and fairy tales, which are traditional symbols of seeking meaning and guidance. However, the singer dismisses these in favor of the profound belief in their lover's eyes and words, even if they are lies. This contrast sets the stage for a deeper exploration of personal faith and love.

The recurring theme of 'heures bleues' or 'blue hours' is particularly evocative. In French culture, 'heures bleues' refers to the twilight hours, a time of day that is often associated with introspection, romance, and a sense of magic. By stating that they only believe in these blue and rose hours shared with their lover, the singer elevates their relationship to a sacred, almost divine level. The 'volupté des nuits blanches' or 'voluptuousness of sleepless nights' further emphasizes the intensity and passion of this love, suggesting that these moments are filled with deep emotional and physical connection.

The song culminates in a declaration of faith so profound that it becomes the singer's sole reason for living. This intense devotion is repeated for emphasis, underscoring the transformative power of love. Berry's gentle, melodic delivery adds to the song's ethereal quality, making 'Les Heures Bleues' a beautiful ode to the mystical and all-consuming nature of true love.
