🎶 Angèle ft Roméo Elvis - Tout oublier (2018)

This song is a duet between Angèle with her brother Roméo Elvis. It relates about happiness and that anyone could be happy if they really want. It's just you should forget the "spleen" which is the melancoly from things that happen to people in their past. That's why the folliwing-up expression is: "Tout, il faudrait tout oublier. Pour y croire, il faudrait tout oublier". (You'd have to forget everything. To believe (in happiness), you'd have to forget everything)

🎶 Angèle : Oui ou Non (2018)

In this song, Angèle is talking about her boyfriend, but he seems not really involved in their relation. He's okay for a non-serious intimate relationship, but nothing more. Angèle would like to live a serious romantic relationship with him. That's why, she says: "J'vais devoir t'oublier". (I'll have to forget you)

🎶 Céline Dion - On ne Change Pas (1998)

On ne change pas is a song by Céline Dion. Céline Dion is telling us that we can pretend to be someone else, using masks for hidding our real personality. However, our natural remains and people will discover who we really are. The expression "On n'oublie jamais, on a toujours un geste, qui trahit qui l'on est" describes perfectly this. (You never forget, there's always a gesture that betrays who you are)
