The Quiet Revolution is the worst thing that happened to Québec.

This brought a tear to my eye

This song hits to the core of the tragedy of modernity. We've given up so much for the soulless, false happiness of the modern life.

I feel cheated.

Pour dire que tout va de traviole !

Damn. I'm glad for my Texan acres, but I want to slug my half-brother's teeth out of his jaw for selling our ancestral land back in Poland.

This song is depressing. Why would people want to be poor and live off the land, fearing starvation if the harvest fails? And having 15 children to feed from that land? That's not a future. I'm glad it's in the past.

I feel like this song is becoming more and more relevant.. Inheriting something that some worked there blood, sweat, tears and soul into then just throwing it away and destroying it and then living with the consequences. This is exactly what's happening in Europe. The culture that millions had died in the making is being ruined and demolished by backwards, insane liberal children in the EU Parliament. And the rest of Europe has to suffer because of that.

this kind of makes me sad , not because of the song, but because it keeps talking about family and its like ugh makes me upset
-
How exactly are you supposed to feed 14 children being a peasant yourself?
-
But some mornings you wake up crying
After dreaming at night of a big table surrounded with children
holy shit -
This is only now that I finally get the meaning of this song
Heard it plenty of times as a kid but I didnt know what it meant exactly
damn -
Thanks you for this song. Its amazing and very refreshing to see old values being celebrated (that is my interpretation of it anyway). In todays world its quite a statement.

One minor translation issue...Tu lis des livres qui parlent de siimplicité voluntaire"--"you read some books about voluntary simplicity"...
Love this song. -
The 'quiet' revolution is happening in the entire west. It will likely end in blood spilled and violence will once again prove itself the ultimate authority.

My Ancestors came to Quebec in the 1600's....and I'm far away in the U.S.A., in my 20's, no knowledge of French, under a system that doesn't give a damn about me; this is not right! Time to go home!

I put subtitles on this music video by Québec band Mes Aïeux that is really good. It's about different generations in Quebec and what kind of life/possibilities they had. I suppose it could apply to anywhere but the transition in Quebec from Catholic backwater to liberal modernity was particularly quick and harsh. (Read up about the Quiet Revolution/Révolution Tranquille.)
my grandfather had 3 kids and sold the farm and bought a house,
my mother went from relationship to relationship until she had an "accident",
then there's me, living in the smallest pest filled apartment in town with my mother
feels bad man
