Picture stepping into a giant bazaar where absolutely everything is tagged with a price – from a speck of ash to a future son-in-law. That exaggerated marketplace is the scene Louis Delort sets in Le Monde Est A Rendre, a rocking critique of our money-obsessed society. He lists the crazy things we’re willing to pay for, mocks the dream of instant millionaires, and reminds us that l’argent n’est que du vent – money is only wind.
But the chorus flips the script. Delort chants that the world is not for sale, the world is to be given back. Behind the catchy refrain lies a serious wake-up call: while previous generations dug holes in the earth, poisoned the air, and overheated the oceans, they can’t simply hand us a fat wallet and call it even. We’re borrowing the planet from the children who still long to see the sea, and the song urges us to return it intact. Energetic, ironic, and ultimately hopeful, this track invites listeners to trade in their price tags for responsibility – and maybe dance while doing it.
