Yesterday before sleep, as a break from the news of senseless violence abroad, Bambi listened partly to Christmas melodies and partly to Mr. Patrick Norman’s beautiful songs. Bambi likes them all and her favourite is “Quand on est en amour” [When We Are in Love].
This French-Canadian song is apparently about romantic love. Indeed, it describes how the heart becomes lighter when we are in love (despite a history of love disappointments). Yet, love is love. So, the song would also apply to love of others, fellow humans or pets, in the simplest, broadest, and most unconditional sense of the term.
To conclude this musical post, this song will be offered to a friend in Ontario whose second name is “habibi” and he knows why, to dearest Jacinthe on her birthday ❤️, and to this blog’s dear readers, especially to those who have the courage, civility, and at times humility, to open their hearts to others’ humanity… well, this brings back to love :)!
“Alors, vive l’amour sous toutes ses formes et… merci cher Monsieur Norman”!
