Dire
Les mots d'amour
Qu'on a dans le coeur
Qu'on a dans la peau

Dire
Seul'ment bonjour
Dire les simples mots de tous les jours

Lire
Tout haut les vers
De Prévert
Ou de Rimbaud

Dieu! Que c'est beau
Du Senghor, du Cendrars, du Césaire
Du Trénet, du Brel ou du Vigneault

En raï ou en rap
En pop ou en rock

En disco ou en techno
En hip hop ou en rock'n roll

Qu'on parle en joual
Ou en provençal
Qu'on parle en argot parigot
En cajun ou en créole

Chacun ses racines
Et chacun sa musique
Qu'on soit d'Océanie
D'Europe ou d'Amérique
D'Asie ou d'Afrique

{Refrain:}
L'un avec l'autre et l'un pour l'autre
Au-delà des frontières et des océans
L'un avec l'autre et l'un pour l'autre
On parle la même langue et on se comprend

L'un avec l'autre
Et l'un pour l'autre
Au-delà des frontières
et des océans
L'un avec l'autre
Et l'un pour l'autre
On parle la même langue
et on se comprend

L'un avec l'autre
Et l'un pour l'autre
Au-delà de l'espace,
au-delà du temps
L'un avec l'autre
Et l'un pour l'autre
On chante la même langue
et on se comprend

que ce soit l'un avec l'autre
ou l'un pour l'autre
de la bonne entente
je me veux l'apôtre
je viens du sud et si j'atteins le nord
j'échangerais mes bancs de sable
contre tes bancs de neige

je voudrais que le nord
regarde vers le sud
que ma douleur s'allège
que ma misère en fin s'abrège
je rêve devoir de voir la foule
communiquer les bras levés

Viens
Prends moi la main
Faisons la chaîne
Qui que tu sois
D'où que tu viennes
À la Claire Fontaine
Je me souviens
D'une chanson lointaine
Si on la chante ensemble
On rêvera tout haut
Qu'on peut changer le monde
Avec des mots

{Refrain:}
L'un avec l'autre et l'un pour l'autre
Au-delà des frontières et des océans
L'un avec l'autre et l'un pour l'autre
On parle la même langue et on se comprend

L'un avec l'autre et l'un pour l'autre
Au-delà de l'espace, au delà du temps
L'un avec l'autre et l'un pour l'autre
On chante la même langue et on se comprend

Y'a longtemps que je t'aime
Jamais je ne t'oublierai

Au-delà de l'espace, au-delà du temps
L'un avec l'autre et l'un pour l'autre
On chante la même langue et on se comprend
L'un avec l'autre et l'un pour l'autre

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
