"Moving on is a simple thing
What it leaves behind is hard
You know the sleeping feel no more pain
And the living all are scarred"
Those lines still send chills down my spine
I cant listen to this song without crying. It is my favourite song. I lost my best friend to blood cancer when this song came out. We listened to it a lot both before he died. And now Dave. I pray and I pray for his recovery
Back in the 90's, when I was a teenager, I used to translate loads of lyrics to my native language using dictionary and writing them down on a piece of paper. One day, I've translated "A Tout Le Monde" , left the the paper with it on a table in the living room and went out with friends.
My dad came back home and read the lyrics and thought I'm going to hurt myself, so he got into a cab and spend two hours driving around town and looking for me (90s, pre mobile phone era) to eventually find me all well with friends in the pub.
I'll never forget his face when he found me. He was scared but happy in the same time.
It was so many years ago, hes now dead, but each time I listen "A Tout Le Monde" it reminds me my dad and that moment.
