What are you listening to?

The day that children over six years of age were required to wear masks in France.
This song brings tears to my eyes every time I listen to it...


"Since it is true that they constrain us
From 6 years old the rules are the same
So we'll have to tell them
It's a brown morning that they inspire us
Just a look from my mother
I'm upset that a cloth is taking away my air

I've been told that we're at war
That we are the soldiers of the school
So we'd like to tell them
We're going into battle
We're going to make the classes of the unsmiling
A little haggard But united
The contingent of reckless kids

Just a little more restraint
For less joy
For less laughter
For less right

Since all the great ones have the fever
That you can't see on your lips
While we learn to read
The words we can't see
It's the access to knowledge that expires
In the fog the noise of the chains
In the yard a little less oxygen

They say it's to save grandma
That my face is covered
We would like to tell them
Grandma and Grandpa would rather we breathe
All those hugs we can't give
Even less love, it is sanitary "

Lyrics Ingrid COURREGES and Florian MARTINEZ

An early take (1975) on the idea that the star of Bethlehem was a space ship.

background:

"De Burgh, who had just signed his first recording contract with A&M Records, was broke and "staying at a friend's flat" when he read Chariots of the Gods? by Erich von Däniken. The book made him think "what if the star of Bethlehem was a space craft and what if there is a benevolent being or entity in the universe keeping an eye on the world and our foolish things that we do to each other?" A fan of Irish poet William Butler Yeats, whose work "The Second Coming" avers that every 2,000 years or so there would be a major cataclysmic event happening, de Burgh saw the birth of Christ as "such an event and then 2,000 years later there would be a similar" one. He imagined "the nativity scene, the thing hovering over and I could see the shepherds in the fields and this weird, ethereal music was drifting into the air and they were 'what the heck is that'?" But he "had no ideas about trying to write a hit record."
