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.
You And I
Garou Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Trying to find different ways to get through
Till it's time to come back
And I can't slow it down
And I'm climbing the walls
And I feel like I'm under attack
There's too many people that get in my way
When you and I touch hands when you and I stop
Still in the moment it's you and I
Not running for something that's already gone
When it's just you and I that's when I'm home
That's when I'm home
There's always the question what's holding me down
Show me an answer cause I haven't found
A way to escape to get out of it all
Somewhere that I am allowed to fall
With no bones to break I can be who I am
Cause you know me better than anyone
When you and I touch hands when you and I stop
Still in the moment it's you and I
Not running for something that's already gone
When it's just you and I that's when I'm home
That's when I'm home
Home's not a house with windows
And walls not a place to be shut in
There are no doors
And no matter where I come to rest
Your arms will be my safety net

Well, I'm starting the day
Starting a new day full of challenges
Trying to find different ways to get through
Looking for new strategies to cope with daily life
Till it's time to come back
Until it's time to end the day
And I can't slow it down
And time is passing by too quickly
And I'm climbing the walls
Feeling anxious and trapped
And I feel like I'm under attack
Feeling overwhelmed and threatened
There's too many people that get in my way
There are obstacles preventing me from achieving my goals
And there's never a right time that I get to say
I never get the opportunity to express myself at the right moment
When you and I touch hands when you and I stop
When we connect, and everything else fades away
Still in the moment it's you and I
We are present in the moment, no distractions
Not running for something that's already gone
Not chasing something that has already passed
When it's just you and I that's when I'm home
I feel at home when we are together
That's when I'm home
I feel a sense of belonging
There's always the question what's holding me down
Wondering what is preventing me from being happy
Show me an answer cause I haven't found
Looking for a solution
A way to escape to get out of it all
Looking for a way out of my problems
Somewhere that I am allowed to fall
A safe place to be vulnerable
With no bones to break I can be who I am
A place where I can be myself, with no fear of judgement
Cause you know me better than anyone
Knowing and understanding each other deeply
Home's not a house with windows
A home is not just a building
And walls not a place to be shut in
And not a place to be trapped or contained
There are no doors
A true home is always open
And no matter where I come to rest
No matter where life takes me
Your arms will be my safety net
You will always be there to catch me
