Là-bas il y a des mouches
Et des pics-bois
Y'a des panaches, de l'écorce
Et des roches là-bas
Il y a d'la truite d'ins rivières
D'la mousse sur les pierres
Y'a même des loups

Là-bas il y a un ours juché sur une roche
Y'a un poisson qui sait pas que sa mort approche
Il y a des branches qui convergent vers la lumière
Il y a des bêtes qui rôdent hors de leur tanière
Il y a des mâles en érection
Des cadavres en putréfaction
À 200 miles au nord de Winipeg
Il y a des aigles
Là-bas dans l'ouest
Dans l'bois
En français

Jour et nuit, affamé
Tapi dans les arbres
Aux aguets
Silencieux comme le marbre
Pendant des semaines, j'ai tout essayé pour les voir
J'n'y croyais presque plus, j'avais perdu espoir
Jusqu'au matin

Où juste un peu avant l'aube
Quand le ciel vient clair
J'ai vu une forme presque humaine
Qui s'en allait boire
Poilue d'la tête aux pieds
Elle s'est penchée sur l'eau
De la swamp
Où pataugent et pissent les orignaux
Elle était laide

J'ai suivi ses traces
Remonté jusqu'à sa cabane
Ils étaient là
Mangeaient d'la poutine
Écoutaient La Chicane
J'ai vu leurs corps poilus
Entendu leurs grognements
Australopithèques
Hors du siècle
En dehors du temps
Là-bas dans l'ouest
Au Manitoba
Dans l'bois
En français


En se promenant, en traînant
D'ins rues de Winipeg
Ou dans les rues de Brandon
C'est encore pareil
Pas un mot de français... Les francophones... Où sont-ils?
Statistique Canada les hallucine-t-il?
Ben non, voyons
Ils sont, ils viennent, ils vont
Ils vivent là-bas
Dans l'bois
En français

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"

American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
