Le groupe commence aussi à faire des spectacles un peu partout au Québec et ça marche relativement bien mais il faut ce rendre à l'évidence, ça prend un deuxième guitariste. Ils se mettent dès lors, à essayer des guitaristes, tous des amis ou connaissances, ils essaient même d'envoyer David à la guitare et de prendre un autre bassiste mais rien à faire, le " bear " gronde dès qu'on le sépare de sa basse verte couleur mur de centre commercial 1989. Ce n'est que quand le groupe arrête de chercher que Fred rencontre Pierre-Alexandre qui arrive en sauveur un peu comme dans "Crocodile Dundee episode two" quand Mick sauve la Géraldine des griffes du méchant Espagnol. Depuis, le quatuor à fait plusieurs spectacles qui leur a permis de jouer partout au Québec avec au-delà de 150 groupes et le fait d'être applaudi à la fin de chaque spectacles, même si c'est par trois personnes, est toujours un privilège pour eux.
Allison
Third Bike Wheel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When I was thinking about this girl,
This girl has commited suicide
It was sunday morning
When I was walking on the main street,
The street that showed me the reality
She won't return to understand
That I was her best friend here
I don't know why she didn't ask for help
I don't know what she wanted to say
I don't know who she wanted to be
What's wrong with me?
It was saturday night
When I saw this prostitute dancing,
Dancing for five bucks to pay her drug
It was saturday night
When I saw this man abuse of her,
This man that beat her because she said no
Tears in her eyes she was on the ground
She didn't talk no ears to hear
Dying alone in her cloud
...daddy won't hurt you anymore...
The song "Allison" by Third Bike Wheel speaks about two tragic incidents that the singer witnessed. The first situation is about a girl committing suicide, which the singer learns on a Sunday morning. He thinks about this girl and wonders why she didn't ask for help, what she wanted to say, and who she wanted to be. He reflects on his own role as her best friend, and is left questioning himself, thinking "what's wrong with me?". The second situation occurs on a Saturday night when the singer saw a prostitute dancing to pay for drugs. The man who was supposed to pay for her services beat her up when she said no. The woman is left on the ground, crying and dying alone in her "cloud". The song ends with the haunting words "daddy won't hurt you anymore".
The lyrics of "Allison" are open to interpretation, but one thing is for sure - they are filled with emotion and melancholy. The singer is grieving for the loss of the girl who committed suicide and is struggling to understand the motives behind her actions. Similarly, he is deeply affected by the abuse of the prostitute and is left feeling helpless and sad. The song raises important questions about mental health, suicide prevention, and gender-based violence. It also showcases the power of music to shine a light on societal problems and to provoke change.
