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.
First Day Of My Life
Garou Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To stay alive
To try a little harder
See the other side Talking to myself
Too many sleepless nights
Trying to find a reason
To this stupid life
Don't want your sympathy
Hey, what you're looking for
No-one knows the answer
They just want more
Hey, who's gonna make it right
This could be the first day of my life
So I found a reason
To let it go
Tell you that I'm smiling
But I still need to grow
Will I find salvation
In the arms of love
Will it stop me searching
Will it be enough
Don't want your sympathy
Sometimes I don't know who to be
Hey, what you're looking for
No-one knows the answer
But you just want more
Hey, who's gonna make it right
This could be the first day of my life
The first time to really feel alive
The first time to break the chain
The first time to walk away from pain
Hey, what you're looking for
No-one has the answer
They just want more
Hey, who's gonna make it right This could be the first day of my life
Hey, what you're looking for
No-one has the answer
They just want more
Hey, who's gonna shine a light
This could be the first day of my life

The chorus repeats the idea that this could be the first day of his life, the first time he feels truly alive and able to break the chains of pain and suffering.
