Jorane's cello style has been compared to Tori Amos' piano. She has worked with Sarah McLachlan, amongst others.
Other discography includes: "The You And The Now" (2004, Aquarius), reached a more international audience; "Canvas or Canvass?" (2006, Tacca Musique), initially exclusive to her website and "Vers à Soi" (Oct 2007, Tacca Musique - aka "Vers a Soi"), with completely French lyrics, intimate vocals and the cello relatively abated - resulting in one of her most experimental albums.
Good Luck
Jorane Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You wished me luck, good luck
Am I calling you ?
Are they calling you too ?
You wished me luck, good luck
But are you there somewhere ?
Am I that bad and need to call ?
And I'm here begging for someone to talk to
You wished me luck, good luck
That's all I get, good luck
Am I calling you too ?
You wished me luck
That's all I get, good luck
And I'm still begging
Are we all begging for someone to talk to ?
For someone to talk to
The lyrics of Jorane's song "Good Luck" convey a sense of isolation and longing for human connection. The repetition of "You wished me luck, good luck" suggests an attempt at reassurance or encouragement, yet the uncertainty in the following lines indicates that the singer is not entirely convinced. The questions "Am I calling you?" and "Are they calling you too?" suggest a potential distance or disconnection between the singer and the person they are addressing.
The line "Your voice seems strange" adds to the ambiguity and unease of the situation. The singer may be trying to reach out to someone they once knew or someone they wish they could know, but the response they receive is not enough to sustain them. The last lines, "Are we all begging for someone to talk to?/For someone to talk to," imply that this feeling of isolation and craving for connection is widespread and universal.
