Le Jardin Des Larmes comes from Zaz's new album Isa, although the song has had a long gestation. “I met Till four years ago because we both have the same make-up artist," Zaz tells La Parisien. "And although we were involved in various exciting projects of our own in the period that followed, we managed to bring this incredible story to life and put this great song into practice."

 

The lyrics to Le Jardin Des Larmes were originally written in German by Lindemann, before pianist Thierry Faure composed the music and translated the text into French. The duet was recorded in 2018 at Studio La Fabrique in the south of France, where RAMMSTEIN recorded their Untitled album.

 

The video for Le Jardin Des Larmes was filmed in Uzbekistan by director Zoran Bihać, who worked with RAMMSTEIN on the videos for Links 2-3-4, Mein Teil, Rosenrot and Mein Herz Brennt, and on seven videos for Lindemann, Till Lindemann's now-defunct project with Hypocrisy and Pain leader Peter Tagtgren.
