Les coulisses
Deux vies, deux pères qui partent dans des conditions complètement opposées en une semaine. L'un voulait vivre et le cancer l'a brisé, l'autre ne voulait plus vivre et s'est suicidé. Tous deux ont perdu leur combat, l'un contre son corps, l'autre contre son esprit. La chanson écrite en anglais pour Wade et Mike décrit très sobrement l'incompréhension devant ce genre de situations. Une simple guitare en arpège et une voix retenue. So long, Wade and Mike...
Effet in-extremis: deux vies qui partent pour des raisons tellement opposées
Paroles
Here we are, two lives are gone
And what could we have done
They switched off their light, they lost their fight,
One against his body, one against his mind
I don’t know why
Someone up above gave him such a smile
And then decides to take his life away
I don’t know why
Someone up above slowly erased his smile
And let him choose to take his life away
..from us
So much light in his eyes
Was not enough to even give him a choice
So much loss in his eyes
But so much strength for such a choice,
but was that a choice,
was that a choice
I don’t know why
Someone up above gave him such a smile
And then decides to take his life away
I don’t know why
Someone up above slowly erased his smile
And let him choose to take his life away
from us
Here we are, two fathers are gone
Nothing we could have done
The two of them are somewhere in the sky
And may be now they know why,
if only they could tell us why,
cause we.
We don’t know why
Didn’t they deserve more chance to fight?
Didn’t we deserve a chance to help?
We feel so lost down there
We don’t know why
We know we just have to say good bye
And hope they would sometimes fly by
And may be we don’t need a reason
But now it feels like treason
