For WV 137, ::queb will send folk music. The exact artist is still undecided, but I have plenty of songs saved in my music collection that I want to send. :D

Half Moon Run with the song "Favourite Boy"
have been chosen to represent Québec!

What Devon of Half Moon Run said about creation of the song:
"It started with me and Conner in the living room at his house and we just kind of... It started as an addendum to another idea, which then we chopped off the original idea and then we had these, basically, 8 chords, which almost is the whole song. And then the band, the other guys put a nice beat on it. And then I kinda wanted to have, like, an attitude in the lyrics, more than just kinda like... [whining vocals] I wanted it to be more... more of a story, more story-telling vibes. I think that you have to bend, to make a good story, you have to bend some rules. But it's still emotionally truthful, while perhaps being intellectually not entirely true. So there's, yeah, the emotion is true."


Well, I heard you’ve got that show tonight
Don't you know that I wanna be there?
But I gave my name to the girl at the door
When you knew that it wasn't there

Now I know I'm not your favourite boy
I can see it in the way you fake your smile
At least you could say I was good to you
At least you could say I tried, alright

And I know how it feels to look at you
Know you've got a lot of eyes
And you look so good in that summer dress
Against the colour of the sky

And I don't know how it started
Don't know what to believe
Your head upon my shoulder
Or the ringing in my ears

(I don't know what's happening
I don't know what's happening
I don't know what's happening
I don't know what's happening)

Now here we are in the red moonlight, girl
Ooooh, just waiting on a feeling
And I know I'm not the only one
That stopped believin'

Now I'm floating a million miles away
Just floating on a breeze
I see you in my nightmares
I see you in my dreams

I don't know how it started
Don't know what to believe
Your head upon my shoulder
Or the ringing in my ears

I know I’m not your favourite boy
I can see it in the way you fake your smile

Charlotte Cardin with the song "Next To You"
has been chosen to represent Québec!

What Charlotte said about creation of the song:
"I was trying to remember the moment we finished it. I wrote it with my friend Patrick Watson, he’s an incredible songwriter. It took so fucking long to write that song. I hated it at one point and Patrick kept saying to trust the process because we need to finish the song. He talked about how some of the songs that people connect with the most are the ones he hated and, at one point, I realised I was actually starting to love “Next To You.” It felt really special and personal and it was never quite finished. We kept playing around with the structure, adding a few words because I was going through stuff. I’d say, “Oh, I have this idea. We should add this thing that I just went through.” One day, we had a structure that felt okay so he suggested we record it before I left the studio just to have a demo of it. That ended up being the version that is on 99 Nights."


Maybe it's the fact that I can’t go back now
Maybe it's the rivers, they're much calmer now
I can hear the storm knocking at my door
And I just wanna answer
I think I know its name
’Cause I'm the one to blame
Always chasing a disaster

Now I have to leave, just so I can breathe
Please don't tell me that you miss me
It's too late to change
I just need a little rain
I'm just looking for a better me

Oh-oh-oh-oh-ooh
I can't be those things next to you
Oh-oh-oh-oh-ooh
I can't be those things next to you

I thought we'd be forever, but I’m changing like the weather
Up, down, got scared, so I went and cut my hair
As our words they lose their meaning
I just need to feel that feeling
And it’s too late to change
I'm already on a plane

I want it faster, chasing a disaster
Just so I can pick up all the pieces
Put ’em back without a reason when I'm there
Even if I'm scared, please don't tell me that you miss me
I wanna be better, I wanna be new
But I can’t be those things next to you

Oh-oh-oh-oh-ooh
I can't be those things next to you
(Can't be those things next to you)
Oh-oh-oh-oh-ooh
I can't be those things next to you
(I can't be those things next to you)
Oh-oh-oh-oh-ooh
(I can't be those things next to you)
I can't be those things next to you

Wanna be better, I wanna be new
But I can't be those things next to you
