What if every love story came with footnotes? In “Addenda”, French singer Hervé turns the idea of an addendum—a little extra note tacked on at the end—into a pulsing confession of love. Starting from nothing, he admits he can’t even earn “a cent without feelings,” then repeats a heartbeat-like refrain: “J’ai l’cœur qui bat pour toi, cent fois par minute.” The song feels like a scribbled margin note to a relationship, a place where he adds everything he forgot to say: the pride of making it on his own, the frustration of trying to “take the fold” when life still crumples, and the electric rush of a heart racing at double speed.
Hervé’s imagery is vivid and playful. The “camisole” that isolates him hints at emotional restraint, while the rings on his fingers become ironic trophies as he “runs solo” without his partner. Through buoyant synths and relentless repetition, he pleads for a reunion, proving that even the most independent spirit can have an appendix full of yearning. “Addenda” is both a club-ready anthem and a handwritten P.S., reminding us that love often needs a few afterthoughts to feel complete.
