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.
Heaven's Table
Garou Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To put a dollar in her hand for something to eat
To the mother who works every hour God made
To put the kids through school and get the loans repaid
She's some kind of hero
He's some kind of saviour
Yeah maybe they're angels
Cause not all the angels
Not all the angels sit at heaven's table
There's a woman who listens on the all night phone
To another lost soul trying to get back home
I've seen a guy pull a stranger from a burning wreck
In the beat of a heart give his very last breath That's some kind of hero
She's some kind of saviour
Yeah maybe they're angels Cause not all the angels
Not all the angels
Not all the angels sit at heaven's table Yeah some say they're heroes
And some call them saviours But I think they're angels
Cause not all the angels
Not all the angels
Not all the angels sit at heaven's table
The lyrics to Garou’s “Heaven’s Table” pay tribute to everyday heroes and saviors that exist in our world, but are often overlooked or undervalued. The song celebrates individuals who perform acts of kindness and selflessness to help others, regardless of their own personal cost. The opening verse speaks to the image of a man stopping to give a dollar to a child in need, and highlights the mother working tirelessly to provide for her family. These actions may seem small in the grand scheme of things, but they are truly heroic in their own right.
The chorus of the song emphasizes that these everyday heroes may not receive recognition in the traditional sense, as not all angels sit at heaven’s table. The verses that follow illustrate different heroic actions: a woman who listens to a lost soul all night, and a man who saves a stranger from a burning wreck with the ultimate sacrifice of his own life. Garou seems to be saying that these people are not just heroes, but they are also angels, sent to help and guide us.
Overall, “Heaven’s Table” is a moving and powerful tribute to the everyday heroes that exist in our world. The song reminds us of the importance of kindness, selflessness, and compassion, and encourages us to honor those who embody these traits.
