'America is crying' - Quebecois disillusion song on the Americas by Les Cowboys Fringants

Song produced by Les cowboy fringant in 2020. It follows a trucker who is looking at a sad America.

Canada or Quebec will never be the 51st state. Trump is eroding america's democracy.
Go speak to your local representative:

[kffire]

A Quebec man gets on I-95 once.
He immediately becomes demoralized.

RIP Karl Tremblay, gone far too soon.

For those of you who may not know, the lead singer of this song has just passed away at age 47

I'm Polish and have been listening to this song on repeat for 24 hours. Wow.

[Tuzder]

Quebec seems to always have such fitting songs

[collindauzat]

As an American truck driver i see this all over our country as well, you can feel the decay

[laurentbourassa]

To our friends from the USA, I just want to make something clear here because I've seen a few comments from some of you thinking this song is about your country. The song is not specific to your country, it talks about the continent. In French we do not use Amérique like you use America in English. We however share the same sickness that the Cowboys Fringants sing about in this song.

I was a UPS driver, the line about carrying all the excess of the times in the back of the rig is REAL. You deliver to sick people, addicted to consumption all day long. Rarely do you get people actually excited for what they ordered.

"How can you relate to this song?" Profoundly

[imjustwatching-ww]

"How did you relate"
"Yes"

[yuukimo]

Quebec songs vibe really similar to russian songs, both are pretty melancholic and sad, but inspiring at the same time

[oqo]

I rarely cry at media, but damn, the last made me shed a tear. Merci les quebecois d'avoir les mots sur ces sentiments.

[bernardoohigginsvevo]

This song definitely captures the zeitgeist of 21st century America (U.S. and Canada).

[TheRaptorShT]

Woah, je suis français, parisien et je tombe par hasard sur cette magnifique chanson en scrollant youtube, beh comme on dit par chez vous tu m'as mis une claque cousin. De l'amour sur toi et tout les Québécois.

[doconnor]

Beautiful song, poignant, and sadly not an exaggeration, but many of us are still searching for the glimpses of humanity.

[AReservoirDog]

This song in French described my feelings about my country better than I could in English.

[peteralbert]

On pleure de nouveau aujourd'hui...merci, Karl Tremblay.

As an American this largely sums up how it is here today and how everyone feels even if some cant quite put their finger on it, it's just this heaviness that we all walk around with now. I pray for better times ahead and that we all work for better times and a better nation again 🇺🇸

[LillyandHenryUnpacked]

Karl Tremblay I was just introduced to you 6 months ago. Gone way too soon ❤. I work in Vermont and have many Québécois make the journey to our resort. I started learning French and Quebec specific dialogue so I could speak and understand your music. Repose en paix! ❤

[nickpro]

I'm so happy to see Les Cowboys' music reaching Americans. They're something special.

RIP Karl

This is an international feeling, the world has stagnated and we all feel it, and worst, we all know that stagnation predicts decline, so we just wait... In a weird sociatal anxiety at a global level
