This week\u2019s song may be a few years old, but with the current evolving health situation in the world right now and the accompanying sense of angoisse<\/a><\/strong> (anxiety<\/em>) gripping many nations, it seemed like a perfect time for a healthy dose of l\u2019espoir<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Hope<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"While the song \u2013 sign\u00e9 <\/strong>(from, <\/em>lit. signed) <\/em>Ga\u00ebtan Roussel, the lead singer for the French pop rock group Louise attaque<\/a> \u2013 evokes la maladie d\u2019Alzheimer<\/strong> (Alzheimer\u2019s disease<\/em>) it also speaks, in the words of the artist, to \u201cles histoires d\u2019amour ou d\u2019amiti\u00e9, le temps passant, le souvenir n\u2019est plus l<\/strong>\u00e0<\/strong><\/a>\u201d (love stories or of friendship<\/em>, with the passage of time, memory isn\u2019t there anymore<\/em>).<\/p>\n

And while the word never shows up in the song\u2019s lyrics, just take a look at the video and you\u2019ll see \u2026 and I think feel \u2026 l\u2019espoir<\/strong> (hope) <\/em>everywhere. Follow along as \u201cun homme abattu [\u2026] retrouve peu \u00e0 peu gout \u00e0 la vie et aide d\u2019autres \u00e2mes\u00a0en peine \u00e0 gu\u00e9rir de leurs blessures\u00a0<\/b><\/a>\u00bb (a man beaten by life rediscovers a taste for life little by little and helps other hurting souls to heal from their wounds).<\/em><\/p>\n
