The song À contre-courant
À contre-courant was written by Mylène Farmer and composed by Laurent Boutonnat, like all the other songs on Mes courants électriques (2003) album. The lyrics tell a story of two lovers who for some reason are apart from each other.
The beauty of the lyrics is how the story is told. Nothing is said straight but Mylène used terms from physics and electromagnetism to describe the feeling that she (the main character of the song) feels when thinking about him. Well, that’s just one way to interprete the text as it’s very difficult to understand as is many of Mylène’s lyrics. This can be very fashinating as it gives your mind freedom to deal with the text as you wish. There is no one right answer how to interprete the text.
The music video À contre-courant
The music video was directed by Pierre Stine who is also the one to suggest the final shooting location, Triage-Lavoir de Péronnes. Pierre suggested the place as he had already filmed there before and knew the place. He originally found it by his brother. Pierre was very convincing when explaining why this location would be the perfect place for the video, explaining how the building would create strong contrast against the actress (Alizée) and with right lighting and set up, it would simply work.
The location was finally chosen and the result speaks for itself. The producer of the clip was a Belgian company called Blueberry. The name appears on the corner of the clip at the beginning, which has caused some false believes that it might be the name of the person who captured it from TV. The promotional VHS tape has a screen before the clip showing information about the clip and listing Blueberry as the production company.

The image has been manipulated by Alizée and Boutonnat Farmer; She was allowed a few interviews of 20 minutes and a limited number of times an ad appears. In 2005, after two successful album and a tour, Alizée decided to break up with the duo has crafted his name was Farmer Alizee crabs and Boutonnat, to meet the musicians and different producers.
