[edit] Song information
"Sous le Vent" was written by Jacques Veneruso, who wrote later for Céline "Tout l'Or des Hommes" and "Je Ne Vous Oublie Pas" among others.
"Sous le Vent" music video was directed by Istan Rozumny and released in September 2001. It was included on Céline's On Ne Change Pas DVD. Earlier video also exists. Made in 2000, it shows Céline and Garou in the studio.
Céline performed this song few times live with Garou, including 2001 ADISQ gala awards. She also sang it as a duet with Marc Dupré in 2002, with whom she recorded "Tout Près du Bonheur" in 2005.
The song was a smash hit in Francophone countries, reaching #1 in France (3 weeks at the top), Belgium and #2 in Switzerland. It was certified Diamond in France (750,000 copies sold), platinum in Belgium (50,000) and Switzerland (40,000).
"Sous le Vent" won the NRJ Music Award in 2002 for the Francophone Duet of the Year, and the Victoire de la Musique the same year for the Original Song of the Year.
The track was also a B-side to the "A New Day Has Come" UK single and "Tout l'Or des Hommes" European single (a new version with the 500 Choristes).
