Discovered by Luc Plamondon singing American blues tunes in small Sherbrooke bars, he was drafted by Plamondon to play the role of Quasimodo in his musical Notre-Dame de Paris, making him a star. After the musical, he managed to launch a successful international pop music career in Quebec, France, and many other European countries. His looks and hoarse voice, as well as the virility that he combines with a boyish niceness, brought many to see him as a major modern day sex symbol.
Back for More
Garou Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We caught then sun on the rise
Tasted a sweetness yet to come
I saw my life in your eyes
And I can't let it go
Tried to close down the show
If I said that I've moved on
Baby inside I know I will be waiting here for you With my heart like an open door
Shouldn't believe it but I do That you will come back for more
When I see your beauty in the crowd
I wish that I could explain
Just find the words to tell you how
My love is wearing your name
And I can't let you go
Tried to close down the show
If I said that I've moved on
Baby inside I know
I won't turn out the lights
If you were to stop on by
I'll keep a place in my life
Where dreams never die

Garou then sings about how he saw his life in the other person's eyes, implying that this relationship is meaningful and important to him. This is emphasized in the chorus, where he says he can't let it go and that he will be waiting for them with his heart as an open door, as he believes that the other person will come back for more.
He sees their beauty in the crowd and wishes to explain his love to them, but struggles to find the right words. The second verse repeats the idea that he can't let go and that he won't turn out the lights if the other person were to stop by. Garou expresses his belief that dreams never die, suggesting that he is hopeful for a possibility of a future together.
