C'est une belle journée chords by Mylène Farmer

"C'est une belle journée" (French for "It's a Beautiful Day") is a 2001 song recorded by the French artist Mylène Farmer. Second single from her best of Les Mots, it was released on April 16, 2002. Dealing with suicide on a dance music, the song achieved great success in France where it remained ranked for several months on the top 50. Like for her other singles, Mylène Farmer wrote the text and Laurent Boutonnat composed the music. About the lyrics, Farmer, interviewed by TF1, confessed to have changed the words of the chorus afterthought. Initially, "C'est une belle journée, je vais me tuer", which could be taken as an incitement to suicide by vulnerable people, was replaced in the end with "C'est une belle journée, je vais me coucher". Elia Habib, an expert of French charts, considers that "C'est une belle journée" "has an intro worthy of a 1980s opus of Pet Shop Boys". According to him, it "is a song with a tempo surprisingly cheerful" ; however, he maintains : "Under this cover unusual are concealed again recurring themes of the Farmer's anthology : death, nostalgia, vision of a world torn between good and evil, brevity of life" According to the French magazine Instant-Mag, "we find [in this song] all Farmer and Boutonnat's art of the beautiful time, namely involve very delicately melancholy lyrics and skipping music, or even a bit commercial". "Apology of suicide, sleep, pessimism, departure", the song is "a call to sacrifice, to let go, to flee to a world of spiritual and physical peace".[6] "Behind the joyful and optimistic notes of the song, we can perceive stenchs much less happy and much more ambiguous. Farmer is in a pessimistic perspective, referring to the death behind the apparent sleep, the emptiness instead of the full, the completion instead of the beginning, and the flight as a reunion." There is also a parallel with Le Dormeur du val, written by the French poet Arthur Rimbaud. Read more on Last.fm.
