Radio Radio - Light The Sky ( Dir : Jean-François Sauvé & Phil Toupin ) 2016



.... fabulous " nature " shots ( of Canada's New Brunswick  I reckon ) ..... & catchy dance track ... they seems to have abandonned the "Chiac"language ( sort of french/english mash up slang , used by New Brunswick's youth ) which was their trademark previously ....

Areski & Brigitte Fontaine - C'est normal ! ( Audio track ) 1973


Amazing track ! & cherry on the cake , here's a great traduction by Bernard Bonnejean :

- Areski! - What's the matter ? - Did not you hear something weird? - Yes. - What is it ? - It's gas. This is the gas in the apartment below. Sometimes there leaks, so it accumulates and then if there's a spark that explodes. It's normal ! - Ah ! And who says "explosion", says "detonation". Hence the noise that you heard just now, - Ah ! La la la ...
 - Say? - What? - You do not feel burned? - Well yeah, it's normal ! I Explained to you : there was an explosion. - Yes. - And the molecular agitation due to the explosion ... - The ... what? - The molecular agitation. - Ah yes. - Causes a sufficient rise in temperature to ignite surrounding materials. - Yes Yes. - This is then called combustion. It's normal ! - Ah. - You understand ? - Yes Yes. La la la ... - But then ... but ... La la la ...
 - What did you want ? La la la ... - Then I wanted to know ... All the building is on fire, is not it? - Yes, listening. The materials that were used in the construction of this building are very fragile. You understand ? - Yes. - This is normal because anyway there are only families of workers and foreigners and some unproductive. - Yes. - Then the fire very easily seized materials. - Yeah. - It spreads. We are in the presence of a fire. - Aaaah. a fire. - It's normal. - Yes Yes Yes. - Yes ? - Okay. La la la ...
 - Areski! - What is it again ? - You do not feel like it was falling, then a little ...? - Look ... Listen ... - Yes. - Try to understand, it's very simple. - Yes. - You remember the combustion? - Yes. - The destruction of the building in flames? - Yes. - Good. It means that below, the walls and floors are gone. - Hum. - And that we're no longer supported by anything. - Yeah. - But one thing that is not supported by anything falls. It's called gravity. It's normal ! - Aaaah, yeah. La la la ... - But then ... we will fall ... - But yes. - From the 15th floor? - This is completely normal. - This is gravity. - Okay. La la la ...
 - Ares, excuse me - What? what? - Excuse me, I think of a thing. - We n'va not die in a minute? - Brigitte, you are tiring! - Sorry. - So it is falling. - Yes. - Now every body falls at a defined speed. - Yes. - And on reaching the ground he suffered a violent deceleration that causes the breakdown of its various components. For example, members are separated from the trunk. - Yes. - The brains gushing out of the cranium, etc. - Yeah. - Under these conditions of disconnection, it is clear that the phenomenon of life can not be maintained, it is NORMAL, you understand? - Yeah ...
