Did I tell you
Bears of Legend Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If you're skipping the pages you miss what it means.
Did I tell you that freedom was not something you ask?
It is something you choose for your moments to last.
Did I tell you that I love you? X 2
Did I tell you the Devil may knock at your door?
Did I tell you that music has made me a man?
That a song for your mother just gave me her hand.
Did I tell you that I love you? X 2
Son, we're too young to solve what is wrong.
But we're old enough to sing and to write a love song.
Did I tell you that the darkness will always give way?
To the light that you carry in everything that you say.
In this song, Bears of Legend is urging listeners to pay attention to the world, as it is presented to them in a book. The lyrics suggest that the beauty and meaning of life comes from fully experiencing it, rather than simply skimming through or skipping sections. The idea of freedom is mentioned, with the message that it is something that we must choose for ourselves and not something that we can ask for.
The next section of the song discusses the possibility of negative forces entering our lives, represented by the Devil knocking at our door. However, the focus is on our ability to resist and choose whether or not we let these forces affect us. The power of music is also emphasized, with the suggestion that it can transform us into better people and create meaningful connections with loved ones.
Finally, the song concludes with a message of hope. Despite the darkness we may encounter, we have the ability to carry light within us and spread positivity through everything that we say and do. The song's overall message seems to be one of empowerment, urging listeners to take control of their lives and choose positivity in every moment.

Juste magnifique, un excellent souvenir du festival du bout du monde à Crozon. D'ailleurs, je l'apprends au piano.

Je suis allé au FEQ 2016 à leur spectacle, bien que j'avais une bonne place au show d'Éric Lapointe, mon ami m'a convaincu d'aller les voir et je suis totalement impressionné par ce band, je n'ai aucun regret d'avoir été à leur spectacle c'était de toute beauté et leur passion pour la musique se ressent de manière authentique. A TRULY GREAT BAND
