Picture two lovers locked in a slow, clumsy waltz they both know is about to end. In “Jeter Un Sort” ("Casting a Spell"), Montréal singer-songwriter Alex Nevsky teams up with indie icon Cœur de Pirate to capture that dizzy moment when affection turns into disillusion. The lyrics linger on stalled glances, empty oceans and the desperate wish to finally break free. By repeating « J’ai jeté un sort »—I cast a spell—Nevsky admits he tried a bit of magic to keep the romance alive, only to discover that the true enchantment is learning to say goodbye.
The track feels like a bittersweet postcard written just before boarding separate trains. Both voices plead: « Laisse-nous au moins vivre »—let us live at least—reminding us that endings can be acts of self-preservation, not failure. With shimmering synths and a chorus that swells then fades, the song turns the pain of parting into a strangely uplifting anthem about reclaiming your own horizon when love has lost its spark.
