Depi m We'w
by Alan Cavé · 2015 · kompa, zouk · 4:49 · Haitian Creole, French
A starting point organizes "Depi m We'w": every later feeling is counted from the first meeting or sight of another person. Alan Cave published the track on his channel in 2015; it runs four minutes and forty-nine seconds between kompa and zouk. The title does not say what changed once their eyes met, leaving the voice to fill in the consequences. Rather than write a love story in the song's place, this page notices how "depi" gives memory a timeline. The groove can return to that instant while the words measure what came before and after it.
