Mathieu Boogaerts | Où?

Quentin, a reader of the MotD blog, sends this contribution:

“I just discovered your blog and I love it. I immediately thought about the song ‘Où?’ by Mathieu Boogaerts (1998). This song uses modulation paired with a fade-out in the outro to signify the loss of references, the feeling of not knowing where we are…the lyrics are ‘Où allons nous? J’y comprends rien.’ (‘Where are we going? I don’t understand anything.’)

The modulation ladder starts at 2:27; we can hear four modulations before the sound completely fades. Boogaerts is a French musician, composer and writer; the lyrics of his own songs have a really unique style.”
