About This Song
About "Manon : Massenet: Manon: "En fermant les yeux"" by Benjamin Bernheim
Massenet’s 'En fermant les yeux' is a dream half-whispered, Bernheim’s tenor floating like a leaf on still water. The piano offers a lullaby’s pulse, but the melody’s upward reach betrays a desperate hope—closing one’s eyes to see what reality denies.
