Lyrics
editLyrically, "C'est toi qui m'as fait" is a tribute to Feldman's mother, referring to her as the person who "built" and "created" him, and his father, who expected for a daughter when his wife was pregnant.[1]
Versions
edit"C'est toi qui m'as fait" was included on Feldman's three best of, in a remixed version: first on Two Feldman (1996) on which it appears as the fourth track on the first CD, then on Best Feldman (1998) as the third track, last on Gold (2008) as the fourth track. It was also performed during Feldman's 1991 tour and thus included on the live album Feldman à Bercy (1992).
