I love the album, every single song is amazing.

Except the frogs.

But it’s very funny to be a frog…

Aw, but the frog narration is a nice break from the more grandiose stuff :)

Reconte Moi une Histoire (I do not speak French but I believe translating to tell me a story) is a really beautiful song about the power of childhood imagination. I used to think of it as one of the weaker songs on the album but it's now one of my favorites after several listens.

It's actually a perfect fit for the album. It's reminding you of what it's like to have an unrestricted imagination unburdened by the stresses of adulthood, putting you into the exact mindset the album asks of you to enjoy the dream.

It may work well for a solo listening session, but really wrecks the flow when playing on a home stereo with others casually listening. It's the kind of track that makes people stop enjoying the music, and instead makes them ask "what are you listening to?" but not in a good way...
