“Chamberland is one of those rare contemporary artists who easily measures up to the greats. This is just too good not to rave about!." - Lee Oberg -
Every music genre is characterized by a unique style and specific instrumentation. For French Canadian guitarist & jazz vocalist Chantal Chamberland her sensuous, smoky voice is her trademark instrument.
With some of Chamberland’s personal musical influences as her canvas, this Quebec born chanteuse delivers knockout performances that are as unforgettable as the singer herself.
With 7 contemporary jazz releases, Chantal’s star shines brightly on an international stage. Her latest release, Temptation, showcases her impressive range as a vocal stylist. While always avoiding vocal gymnastics, Chamberland moves from quiet and intimate to sultry, sensual and soulful with seamless ease. The result is a Temptation you will gladly and inevitably succumb to.
From multiple appearances at the Montreal International Jazz Festival to headline concerts from Hong Kong to Cartagena, Chantal’s success internationally is not only a testament to her personal evolution but cements her role as one of the finest female interpreters of jazz today.

You're My Hero
Chantal Chamberland Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Upside Down
Deep inside, I thought you'd come around
You left me here, all alone
The emptiness just felt so wrong
Is it easier, day after day
Knowing that you couldn't stay
You lived your life, with no regrets
Cause you're my hero, you're my hero
You make this world a better place to be
A better place for you and me.
I didn't know, how to survive
Without you by my side
You taught me how - how to be strong
You showed me that I could be wrong
Cause you're my hero, you're my hero
You make this world a better place to be
A better place for you and me
You gave me wings, and I learned to fly
You broke my heart when you said goodbye
The years go by, I still think of you
You gave me strength,
You pulled me throughCause you're my hero, you're my hero
You make this world a better place to be
A better place, for you and me
You're my hero
You make this world a better place to be
For you and me, cause you're my hero
Cause you're my hero
The lyrics of Chantal Chamberland's song You're My Hero describe a message of appreciation and gratitude towards someone who was once a significant figure in the singer's life, but has recently left them alone. The singer describes how their life has been turned upside down since the person left, and they felt lost and powerless without them. However, even though they were left alone, they don't resent the person for leaving and acknowledge that they lived their life with no regrets. In their eyes, the person is still a hero who had a positive impact on their life.
Further into the song, the singer addresses the impact that the person had on their growth and development, saying that they gave them wings to fly and taught them how to be strong. While they still think of the person years later, they are grateful for the strength that person gave them and are determined to not forget their impact, referring to them once again as a hero.
Overall, the song conveys a message of gratitude for the impact that people can have on each other's lives, and while some may come and go, their influence remains.

You turned my life
You entered my life and brought about a significant change
Upside Down
To the extent that it was almost unrecognizable
Deep inside, I thought you'd come around
My intuition told me that you'd eventually return
You left me here, all alone
You departed and left me with nobody else to turn to
The emptiness just felt so wrong
The feeling of having a void in my life was uncomfortable and didn't make sense
Is it easier, day after day
Is it simpler to continue existing without me present
Knowing that you couldn't stay
Recognizing that you were unable to remain
You lived your life, with no regrets
You lived without any remorse or second thoughts
I promised you never to forget
I made a vow to always remember you in my heart and mind
Cause you're my hero, you're my hero
You are the one that I look up to and admire
You make this world a better place to be
You make the earth more enjoyable and worthwhile
A better place for you and me.
A better place for us to exist
I didn't know, how to survive
I wasn't able to effectively endure the situation without your presence
Without you by my side
Since I lacked your companionship
You taught me how - how to be strong
You instructed and inspired me to be resilient
You showed me that I could be wrong
You demonstrated that it was possible for me to make an incorrect judgment or decision
You gave me wings, and I learned to fly
You enabled me to develop my potential and flourish
You broke my heart when you said goodbye
You caused me emotional pain and sorrow when you left
The years go by, I still think of you
Time has elapsed, but you continue being frequently on my mind
You gave me strength,
You provided me with fortitude and composure under trying circumstances
You pulled me through
You rescued me from an otherwise difficult situation
You're my hero
You remain my idol and role model
For you and me, cause you're my hero
You exist for both me and your own purposes and are a hero in both contexts
Cause you're my hero
You are the one that I look up to and admire

I was looking on you tube on how to use my Harman Kardon Citation 17 and it happened to be the one that the vlogger was playing on his Unit and I was amazed at the voice of this woman that was smooth to listen to and pleasant to the ear.
