J'ai écouté ce morceau toute la journée. Tiens, le titre me rappelle un moment gênant, lors d'un concert de C_C au 6b il y a une dizaine d'années. Cette fois là, j'ai été tellement transporté par la musique qu'à la fin, après les applaudissements, j'ai braillé avec enthousiasme "LA MUSIQUE, C'EST LA MEILLEURE DROGUE !" ce qui a donné lieu à un moment de gêne silencieux entre moi et le reste du public. J'étais sobre. Contribué par Nils Gasp…
