After playing in the subway and on many small scenes with Polar Eyes both in Montreal and elsewhere, Thierry Bruyère tried his luck in french to share with his public his musical universe which combines British melancholy, folk and pop sounds and a pen that claims his American Frenchness.
Produced by Navet Confit, Thierry's first album also include contributions from Vincent Blain (L'indice), Marc Chartrain (Pascale Picard, Damien Robitaille, Les Chiens) and Émilie Proulx.

Rêver plus fort
Thierry Bruyère Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
Une nouvelle chanson pour le réveil
Pour que, demain, mes rêves
Soient moins difficiles à enterrer
Rien d'pire qu’une alarme
Pour donner l’impression d’être prisonnier
De l’ennui qui s’installe
Dans ma vie d’adulte
Chaque matin, c’est pareil
Les journaux vomissent la même histoire
On expose la misère
En format pratique et télévisuel
On s’indigne, on oublie
On achète un café qu’on jette aux poubelles
On travaille, en silence, on subit
Et on finit par
Attendre encore
Au coucher du soleil, on ira danser
Rêver plus fort
De trouver quelqu’un qui saura nous aimer
On finit la journée
On ressort du travail encore fatigué
On empile la vaisselle
On se dit qu’un jour, on va redécorer
On prépare sa soirée
Et on s’habille avant de redécoller
La tête vide, le cœur plein
On espère enfin ne plus avoir à
Attendre encore
Au coucher du soleil, on ira danser
Rêver plus fort
De trouver quelqu’un qui saura nous aimer
Attendre encore
Au coucher du soleil, on ira danser
Rêver plus fort
De trouver quelqu’un qui saura nous aimer
De trouver quelqu’un qui saura nous aimer
De trouver quelqu’un qui saura nous aimer
De trouver quelqu’un qui saura nous aimer
De trouver quelqu’un qui saura nous aimer
The lyrics of Thierry Bruyère's song "Rêver plus fort" speak to the artist's search for a new song to wake up to, in hopes of making his dreams easier to bury. The mention of needing a new song for the wake-up suggests a desire for a fresh start or a break from the monotony of daily life. The idea of dreams being difficult to bury implies a struggle with letting go of hopes and aspirations, possibly due to the challenges faced in reality.
The mention of an alarm clock and feeling like a prisoner of boredom that creeps in each day highlights the suffocating nature of routine and the sense of being trapped in a mundane adult life. The lyrics paint a picture of disillusionment and resignation, as the singer grapples with the monotony and lack of excitement in their daily existence. This sense of unease is further emphasized with the repetition of "dans ma vie d'adulte" (in my adult life).
The lyrics also touch on societal issues, as the singer observes the constant regurgitation of misery and suffering in the news, presented in a convenient and superficial manner. The cycle of outrage, apathy, and distraction is described through the act of buying a coffee only to discard it and the resignation to silently endure the monotony of work. This critique of the modern world and its mechanisms of information consumption adds depth to the song's narrative.
The chorus, with its repetition of yearning to dream more strongly and find someone who will love them, reflects a longing for connection, passion, and escape from the routine and loneliness of daily life. The repeated refrain of "attendre encore" (waiting again) and the imagery of dancing at sunset convey a sense of anticipation and hope for something more fulfilling and meaningful. Ultimately, the song conveys a universal yearning for love, connection, and a deeper sense of purpose in the face of routine and disillusionment.
