About
La Mer is the eleventh song from the Left side of the double disc The Fragile. It begins with a piano solo and near the middle of the song the drums begin playing a jazz loop. This is one of the few songs of Nine Inch Nails that is played with almost all acoustic instruments. At the end of the song all the music and sounds reach a point that build a sonic atmosphere.
Lyrics
The lyrics are spoken by Denise Milfrot in creole French. It is one of the many NIN songs that includes the phrase "Nothing Can Stop Me Now", and one of the few to include a vocalist other than Trent.
Influences
It can be argued that the song is heavily infuenced by the Debussy version of the same name. Both songs build up to create a sonic atmosphere, and both are (obviously) titled the same. It is very similar to Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band by The Beatles, in that it layers many, many instruments to induce atonality and the said sonic atmosphere.
Lyrics
French
Et quand le lour arrive la tourner el ciel Et la tourner la mer et la mer eh ven embrasse moi et la deneh ve moi logis A rien pa peut arrete moi
English Translation
and when the day arrives I'll become the sky and I'll become the sea and the sea will come to kiss me for I am going home nothing can stop me now
