Fais que ton rêve soit plus long que la nuit is an album by Vangelis Papathanassiou only released in France and Greece[1] Recorded in 1971 and released in 1972 with the subtitle Poeme Symphonique, the entire theme of the record focuses on May 1968 in France and the student riots taking place there at the time. The album consists of a sound collage of music, field recordings, news snippets, protest songs and paroles. One of the choruses was later reworked as "Athenes ma ville" on Melina Mercouri's 1974 album Si Melina m'était contée. Translated the title reads, "Make your dream outlast the night."
