With great vulnerability, she even revealed that it was the song she would want to hear at her own funeral. Moved, she then asked the artist if he would be willing to sing a short excerpt for her.
«I lost one of my sisters four years ago, and for me, this is the song that helped me get through that tough moment. And now I’ve decided that it will be the song that plays at my funeral,» Mélanie revealed when talking about the song Je m’envolerai.
Without hesitation, Fred Pellerin obliged. Mélanie then moved to sit a little farther away, as if she were witnessing a moment she had just imagined. The lyrics resonated through the studio, creating an unusually intimate atmosphere.
