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.
What's The Time In NYC
Garou Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You'll be on a plane somewhere
So high, Surfin' through the clouds again
In a different atmosphere
So many miles away from here I just remembered
We never said goodbye
So I wrote you a note
Left it in the pocket of your coat Reminding you I'm missing you
Coloured little hearts and stones
Drew a little home sweet home
But you're never here
You're never here What's the time in New York City
Does it look like rain again
Did you get the message
That I left for you last night
What's the time in New York City
Do you still feel the same again
It's 4am I couldn't sleep and I'm missing you tonight
Sitting here wondering if you think of me at all
The city starts to breath again Riding on a busy train
Today I caught a stranger's smile
oh she reminded me of you
Things that we forgot to say
Right before you went away
You know it gets a little harder now each time
So I wrote you a note
Left it in the pocket of your coat
Reminding you I'm missing you
Coloured little hearts and stones
Drew a little home sweet home
Am I getting through
Am I reaching you
What's the time in New York City Does it look like rain again
Did you get the message that I left for you last night
What's the time in New York City
Do you still feel the same again It's 4am I couldn't sleep and I'm missing you tonight
Sitting here wondering if you think of me at all
All this time and distance
Keeps pulling us apart Baby all this space between us
Keeps tearing at the heart
Keeps tearing at the heart What's the time in New York City
What's the time in New York City
Does it look like rain again
Did you get the message that I left for you last night
What's the time in New York City
Do you still feel the same again
It's 4am I couldn't sleep and I'm missing you tonight
Sitting here wondering if you think of me at all
What's the time in New York City

The song is somewhat melancholic, as it describes the difficulty of being apart from someone you care about deeply. The lyrics suggest that the two lovers did not say goodbye when they parted ways, which adds to the sadness of the situation. The song is also about the power of little things to evoke memories, such as a note or a smile from a stranger, and how those memories can feel like home even when you are far away.
The chorus of the song repeats the question "What's the time in New York City", which serves as a recurring motif that emphasizes the distance between the two lovers.

The line "coloured little hearts and stones" suggests that the note is a work of art, created with care and attention to detail.
