I put subtitles on this music video by Québec band Mes Aïeux that is really good. It's about different generations in Quebec and what kind of life/possibilities they had. I suppose it could apply to anywhere but the transition in Quebec from Catholic backwater to liberal modernity was particularly quick and harsh. (Read up about the Quiet Revolution/Révolution Tranquille.)

  • Favorited, wonderful!

  • I saw this in french class too, very deep song, really made me think. My fellow students were not impacted so, they feign confusion to hide any sort of deep emotion showing through, pissed me off.

  • j'ai vu ce chanson dans la classe français a l'école, mon français est terrible et mon examen demain devenirai plus terrible xD i don't know if what i just said is correct, but i can try, right? i should speak french, it's a second language in my country...

    i loved this song from the start, i'm glad my teacher made us listen to it. she went to Canada and she loved it too. now, i just got to figure out what époque yé yé is, cause it's not rock 'n roll... i think.

  • @sfourne2 RRSP = Registred Retirement Saving Plan

  • awesome song. Chanson tres bon. (don't speak much french) je parle un petitie peau de france

  • Putain, c'est beau ça... Moi, je viens de l'Afrique du Sud et fait partie d'une minorité opprimé. Je me sens vraiment solidaire avec les québécois. En plus, vous avez de la belle musique la :)

  • Jory Caron sent me! Lol.

  • Un chanson puissant, avec un message puissant. C'est dommage que c'est clairement perdu sur les spectateurs ici.

  • @nmgscp That's why there's Youtube.

  • this would be the kind of music we would be listening on radio every time if Napoleon hadn't sold 1/2 of America to USA

  • this is the first french song my brother introduced me to. and me and him arent french but he knows french
