Marilou developed interest in the musical world starting at the age of eight when she started dance, music and theater courses. Her first show was made in several of several hundreds of spectators at an annual concert show. She was first discovered in 2001, when she sang a duet with Natasha St-Pier in a Quebec show called Stars à domicile.
Her career started in 2002 when she had her first single Je serai la pour toi in a duo with Canadian Gino Quilico who is the french version of the cover There For Me singing in the original version by Sarah Brightman in duet with José Cura and signed with the Sony label in 2004 before going on a tour opening for Garou.
In 2005, she released at the age of 15 her debut La fille qui chante in which one of the singles includes a duet with Garou. Also, René Angélil, who also manages Celine Dion became her manager. After several concerts and promotions Marilou played in Luc Plamondon's musical comedy Notre-Dame-de-Paris. She started her first own music tour in 2006 while continuing with her high school studies.
In 2007, her self-titled second album was released with the most notable song being Danser sur la lune which includes also a non-Canadian version duet with Merwan Rim. A European version of the album was also released a few months after the Canadian date release. Later in the year, she made her Tout simplement Marilou province wide tour.

Marilou Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Qu`il faut laisser le temps
En passant nous changer
Elle me disait ls gens qui passent
Les blessures qui s`effacent
De ne jamais oublier
Refrain
Aimer bien plus que soi
Aimer toujours aimer
Aimer comme simple loi
Il me disait d`une voix tendre
Le plaisir d`attendre
Le devoir d`essayer
Toute la force d`un sourire
Et quand rien ne sert de dire
Qu`il suffit de chanter
Refrain
D`aimer... aimer
Aimer bien plus que soi
Aimer toujours aimer
Aimer pour exister
Elle me disait un jour viendra
Où l`amour sera loi
Alors tu comprendras
Qu`il ne sufft d`aimer pour vivre
Qu`à tous les enfants il faut dire
De ne jamais oublier
Refrain
D`aimer... aimer
Aimer bien plus que soi
Aimer toujours aimer
Aimer pour exister
The lyrics to Marilou's song "Aimer" speak of the importance of love in one's life. The first verse describes how a woman (referred to as "elle") tells the singer to let time pass and to not forget the people and wounds that have impacted their lives. This sets the stage for the chorus, which emphasizes the need to love more than oneself, and to always love as a guiding principle.
The second verse introduces a man (referred to as "il"), who encourages the singer to enjoy the waiting, to try their best, and to find strength in a smile or a song. These messages reinforce the importance of love, and also highlight the different ways in which it can be expressed - through patience, effort, and positivity.
The final verse brings the two perspectives together. The woman says that a day will come when love will be law and the singer will understand that love alone is not enough to live; they must also teach all children to never forget the importance of love. This final message brings the song full circle, reconciling the different viewpoints and emphasizing the universality of love.
Overall, Marilou's "Aimer" is a poignant and heartfelt song that encourages listeners to prioritize love in their lives.

Tellement beau et tellement vrai. Moi aussi j'ai vécu ça. Mais j'étais trop pauvre pour me sauver avec mon rêve. Je n'avais absolument rien à lui offrir. Je me sentais comme un trou du cul quand elle était tout près de moi. Je ressentais, dans mon cœur, combien elle m'aimait mais je n'ai jamais été capable de lui dire combien je l'aimais et combien je me sentais bien quand elle était près de moi. Je l'ai perdu de vu, mais, je ne l'oublierai jamais . Mon cœur lui appartient. J'ai 63 ans et je sais que l'ont se retrouvera, bientôt, la haut dans les nuages. Elle me verra tout nu, sans peau, sans os. Elle verra mon âme, mon cœur et surtout combien je l'aimais. Je n'aurai plus honte de ce que je suis. Mille mercis axiiie1019. Je te souhaite de retrouver ton amour. Je t'aime.
Lo Lita
Je vous le souhaite !
