“une île, une ville, un mont royal
le p'tit air crasse de Montréal
un peu Brooklyn, un peu Pigalle
même quand ça va mal j'aime Montréal.”

~ Robert Charlebois, Ville Marie

“when the water's too high
when the water's too high
I will carry you
I will carry you.

when the night is too black
when the night is too black
I will carry you
I will carry you"

~ Sixpence None the Richer, Carry You
