Behind Melody: A Video, A Story, A First Dance

When I first heard Melody take shape, I knew this song lived somewhere deeper than just beautiful chords and heartfelt lyrics. Written by Valérie Carpentier, the first-ever winner of La Voix in 2014, who stepped back from the music industry and later found her way back to songwriting after a meaningful conversation we shared about life and love, Melody became something more than a song; it became a journey.


Instead of the typical romantic storyline you might expect in a music video, the Melody visual takes a different, unexpected turn. It follows the life of a Jiu-Jitsu athlete (portrayed by actress and competitor Melissa Plante), diving into themes of defeat and resilience, the grind of discipline, and most importantly, the unwavering power of love and support behind the scenes. The result unfolds less like a typical music video and more like a short film that captures the spirit of growth and strength through connection.




Music, Movement, and Meaning:


The video is as much about the soundtrack as it is about the story, a testament to how music and visuals can elevate one another. Melody doesn’t just underscore the narrative; it lifts it. Through every fall and rise of our protagonist, the emotional landscape of the song becomes a mirror to the human spirit, persistent, hopeful, and driven by the love that pushes us forward.


Why Melody Is the Perfect First Dance Song:


Something special happens when music meets a moment like a wedding first dance. Melody was crafted with a progression that naturally fits that once-in-a-lifetime moment. It opens quietly, giving space for a couple’s entrance, a soft, intimate beginning that mirrors the quiet anticipation of two souls meeting on the dance floor. Then, as the first verse settles in with gentleness, the atmosphere becomes tender and personal.


As the song builds into the second verse, the rhythm gently rises, creating a feeling of momentum and shared breath between partners. By the time we reach the powerful bridge with its dynamic drums, layered instruments, and soaring guitar solo, the music invites movement, emotion, and an unforgettable crescendo, the ideal place for pyrotechnics or fireworks that make that dance truly unforgettable.


Every couple deserves a soundtrack that feels uniquely theirs. Melody captures both the vulnerability of love’s beginning and the strength found in commitment, making it not just a song, but a meaningful part of your wedding memory.


Let the music tell your story.
