TICKET – The coincidence is too glaring to be one. This Friday, February 11, the music victories dedicated Clara Luciani and Orelsanbest singer and singer of the year. A choice above all artistic, but which resonates strangely with the political moment we are living.

While some thousands of cars are on their way for the capital and have found, everywhere on their way, in each department, where to sleep, wash and refuel, but above all contacts, faces, smiles, conversations and festive moments, Clara Luciani, at the same time, bursts the screen on France 2, and invites us to breathe again. “It has to move, it has to shake, it has to sweat again (…) We will have to learn to drink again, we will have to breathe again”.

While thousands of citizens come to protest – by car – against the price of gasolinein a paradox as French as it is revealing, they actually hum The smell of gasoline, from Orelsan. “The chips are down, all of our leaders have failed, they will be destroyed by the beast they created. Trust died along with respect. What governs us? Fear and anxiety”.

In her dress of light, it looks like she accompanies the movement. “It’s gone on too long, the forced immobility… Tonight, life will start again”. With his leather jacket and determined boots, he suggests: “We have to reboot, we have to reset (…) Generation Z because the last one (…) All the old people vote, they will choose our future”.

When the politicians are no longer able to understand the era, there remain the artists. You just have to listen to them. In full.
