The powerful duet “Sous le vent” by Garou and Céline Dion conveys a story of strength and hope. Garou’s deep, raspy voice harmonizes beautifully with Céline’s powerful high notes—the song is about confronting your fears and persisting even in difficult times—the lyrics speak of navigating through the wind discovering your path and never giving up.
The lyrics of “Sous le vent,” reprinted in the program, are full of poetic images — such as going to sea, following a star, catching your breath after a storm. It’s not merely about departing to leave something behind; it’s about lifting your sail and trusting that the wind will find you where you need to be. Both singers deliver their parts with warmth and urgency, and the result is something that sounds like the lyrics themselves seem to call for: A dialogue between two bodies comforting and challenging each other.

There’s a particular magic that happens when two artists, like Garou and Céline Dion, get a hold of the same song—they both add something unique but together they make something even more powerful. Each verse feels like you’re moving forward and the chorus grows with strength and hope. The key message of the song is that even when you’re confused or unsure, you have to keep moving ahead—let the wind guide you, knowing you’re not by yourself.
From that emotional, dare-I-say ballsy duet, Céline segues into a more reflective and warm song with “Another Year Has Gone By.” This song celebrates enduring love and the quiet beauty of growing old together. It’s sweet and lovingly tender as Céline contemplatively sings about the memories that love can breed and how love can get stronger with every passing year—it’s gentle melody and sincere lyrics make it a great choice for a calm moment, especially during the holidays.
