Inspiré du mythe de Perséphone, il célèbre la voix des femmes, leur force créatrice, les liens qui les rattachent au vivant, à l'amour et à l'animalité, ce qui rayonne en elles et perce le monde des ombres pour renaître sans cesse à la vie. Cette version est une lecture du texte original, interprétée par l'autrice et mise en musique par François-Pierre Fol (violoncelle) et Troy Von Balthazar (guitare, clavier) qui a aussi composé des chansons inédites en bonus. La basse sur One Happy Song est d'Antoine Brunet. Ce projet a bénéficié du soutien du Centre National du Livre.
