Interpretations

"Envole-moi" became the main song in the Jean-Jacques Goldman's repertoire during his 1986 tour. The live performance version of this song appeared in the album entitled, En public, released later in 1986 but with part of the original lyrics omitted.

In yet another live album released in 1989 entitled Traces, part of the song was interpreted by Goldman as part of a medley and introduced it after a "guitar duel" between Goldman, Michael Jones, and one of his partners in the musical collaboration Fredericks Goldman Jones.

In 1994, he came back to the song in the Fredericks Goldman Jones' album, Du New Morning au Zénith. This interpretation was a duo with Carole Fredericks. Other notable changes included addition of a guitar solo. The song starts with the ominous coming of a storm.

In 2003, Jean-Jacques Goldman recorded yet another version with Michael Jones on the Fredericks Goldman Jones live album of a concert at Zénith de Lille, entitled Un tour ensemble.
