Hugo TSR – Là-Haut (2016) [France]

The song is a deep, melancholic, and poetic observation of Parisian life from the height of its rooftops, contrasting the hustle and bustle of the city’s lower depths with the tranquility of the heights. Up above, loneliness, peace, and closeness to the sky prevail. Down below on the streets, there is chaos, “dirty money,” monotonous everyday life, clashes with the police, drug problems, and poverty.

Hugo TSR criticizes modern society, where people are obsessed with touchscreens, confuse easy money with dirty earnings, and quickly abandon their morals.
