mon essentiel



I first saw this video when I was in France in 2005 and the song, Mon Essentiel, sung by Emmanuel Moire, has been one of my favorites ever since. The words, the music and the melody are mesmerizing and gorgeous. The video represents the decadence and sensuality of the time of Le Roi Soleil, Louis XIV. And it doesn't hurt that Emmanuel has the most pillowy lips and amazing hair (prob. a wig, but whatevs). The video isn't of the best quality but it was the only one I could find. Enjoy. PS- Don't forget to stop the playlist!
