Saute by French singer-songwriter Barbara Pravi is a powerful invitation to take a fearless leap into the unknown. The narrator has no map, yet she keeps moving straight ahead, tuning out the doubting voices around her. She imagines reaching the vast ocean – a symbol of limitless possibility – where shimmering salt and silver pearls glisten on her skin. The scene feels more real than anything she has ever known, and as she counts to three she urges herself (and us) to jump.
Whenever she feels lost, lies to herself or no longer understands her own heart, she chooses to “go look for herself elsewhere.” Falling becomes thrilling when you taste the excitement of the unfamiliar. So she spreads her wings, trusts the call of life, and dives into the blue of sky and sea, even if it means wandering for a hundred years without certainty. “Saute” celebrates courage, self-discovery, and the joy of embracing risk so that we can finally feel alive.
