Julien Doré’s “Nous” is a poetic call to drop the weight of society’s pressure and escape to a place where we – the dreamers, the lovers, the slightly bruised – can simply breathe. Imagining a trip to the sea lit by the moon, Doré paints a cinematic scene: two rebels standing at the shoreline, watching the tide rise while caring little for material loss. Their only luggage is “a bit of belly and ego,” proof that imperfections are welcome on this journey of renewal. The chorus repeats like a mantra, “Nous on s’en fout de vous” (We don’t care about you), flipping the script on judgmental outsiders and celebrating a community built on tenderness, not trophies.
Under the surface, the song wrestles with disillusionment – yesterday’s mistakes, stones we could not drop – yet finds hope in unity. Doré reminds us that tomorrow is just “yesterday on its back,” so why not choose connection over competition? “Nous” invites listeners to let the waves wash away ego, lift their heads above water, and discover that real strength lies in being gentle together. Grab your headphones and meet him at the shoreline; the only ticket you need is an open heart.
