about

This song was written about a beautiful town in the Haute-Loire region of France. The band spent a few days there in the summer busking in the square and by pure chance happened upon the yearly procession of the Black Madonna. Le Puy en Velay is also one of the starting points on the road to Santiago de Compostella.

lyrics

I climbed up a mountain
to see what I'd find
taking me back in time

pretty french houses
valleys of gold
watching the day unfold

le puy en velay
le puy en velay

medieval faces
le puy en velay
pilgrims are on their way

see the black madonna
and the child with hope in her eyes
she has the steepest climb

le puy en velay
le puy en velay
le puy en velay
le puy en velay
le puy en velay
le puy en velay
