Le Phare (English: The Lighthouse) is the third studio album by French composer Yann Tiersen. This was the artist's breakthrough album. He collaborated with distinguished French songwriter Dominique A (who wrote and provided vocals to both "Monochrome" and "Les Bras de mer"). Typical of Tiersen's work: violin, mandolin, accordion and piano feature heavily, as well as some more unusual instrumentation including a bicycle wheel, typewriters and saucepans. Three songs from this album, "La Dispute", "La Noyee", and "Sur le fil" were used later for Tiersen's soundtrack for the film Le Fabuleux Destin d'Amélie Poulain. "L'Homme aux bras ballants" is also the soundtrack to a short film by the same name by Laurent Gorgiard. "Sur le fil" has become a live favourite, normally only the violin section performed with great intensity, sometimes even breaking many hairs on the bow.
All songs written and composed by Yann Tiersen except track #12, "Les Bras de mer", written by Dominique A.
The Phare Tower (Tour Phare), in English, "Lighthouse Tower", was a planned approx. 300-metre (984 ft) tall skyscraper with 71 floors designed as a green building to be built in Courbevoie (Hauts-de-Seine), France, in the La Défense district of suburban Paris. The building was being designed by Los Angeles-based Morphosis, headed by architect Thom Mayne, and would have been to be completed in 2018. Have it been built, it would've been the tallest skyscraper in Paris and one of the tallest in the European Union. Tour phare was cancelled and could be replaced by Sister towers.
While the French word phare means lighthouse (from Pharos) when employed alone, it also applies to any source of light used as a beacon. In this context, phare is used to describe the tower as something that will bring attention. Tour Phare was meant to bring an architectural beacon to the periphery of Paris and more specifically La Défense.

A slap to the face when you don't get your way
You tell me all about your situation Please keep to
Yourself
I don't want to hear you but you keep on telling me
I'm sick of you
Don't worry about me
You think about yourself so much
You always think it's all about you, Don't worry about me
You think about yourself, so much.
Do you like what you have?
Now I'm taking it back
I wonder if you even know what you say
You bore me with your selfish conversation
Please keep to yourself
No one wants to hear you but you keep on telling me
I'm sick of you
Don't worry about me
You think about yourself so much
You always think it's all about you, Don't worry about me
You think about yourself, so much.
Do you like what you have?
I'm gonna take it away
If you come back down
Will you listen to me?
When you come back down
