Les Mots bleus (English: Blue Words) is a 1974 album by French singer Christophe based on the ballad of the same name.

[1] Along with its groundbreaking predecessor album Les Paradis Perdus it revived the career of Christophe in the 1970s which, had taken a downturn following the initial success of "Aline" in 1965.

[3] Les in Rocks asks "Who has not found their tears soaking the shoulder of a holiday romance on this ballad by Christophe?"

[1] The critique continues, stating that this is one of the originals which has defined the 1970s "slow" and mentions that it contains "a funereal echo" and a "Rococo choir which accompanies the desperate voice of the artist".

The review concludes that after Jarre finished writing the lyrics for the song, he received a letter from Serge Gainsbourg welcoming him to the club, an acknowledgment that he was at the top of his profession, in the "big leagues".
