When I see a dude
On the boulevard
Who's carrying a guitar
On his back
When fate puts
By chance
"La Nuit Je Mens"
On the radio
When I feel
A little too lonely
Like Paul Simon
Without Garfunkel
I think of you
It's been three months
When I see
A plastered poster
For the next
Fête de l'Huma
When I see a guy
Who can eat
As if he had
Three stomachs
When I stumble upon
An old text
Where you called me
My buddy
I think of you
It's been six months
That we don't really talk anymore
Bro, bro
My heart is heavy
It's no fun solo
F*cking radio silence
My heart is heavy
My old bro
When I need
To put the world to rights
At three in the morning
In the tour bus
When I'm waiting
For someone to answer
To my line
From Jean-Claude Dusse
When I sing shoulder to shoulder
With a buddy
And you're f*cking not by my side
I think of you
It's been twelve months
When I meet up with some buddies
In a bistro
Who are like
The fingers of a hand
When life
Isn't going too well
And I have to
Talk about it
To someone
When both my eyes
Are all teary
Because of a friendship heartache
I think of you
It's been fifteen months
That we don't really talk anymore
Bro, bro
My heart is heavy
I don't hear your solos anymore
F*cking radio silence
My heart is heavy
My old bro
I haven't changed my number
It's no fun solo
F*cking radio silence
My heart is heavy
My old bro
I'm waiting for your text

SONG MEANING

Ever miss a friend so much that everything reminds you of them? That's the heart of Gauvin Sers' touching song, "Silence Radio". He sings about the painful 'radio silence' between him and his frérot (a very common French term for 'bro' or a close male friend). The song is a journey through memories, where simple things like seeing a guy with a guitar or finding an old text message trigger a wave of nostalgia. He feels incomplete, describing himself as being like the famous singer Paul Simon without his partner Garfunkel, a perfect way to describe missing your other half in a friendship.

As the song continues, you can feel the weight of this silence growing heavier. Gauvin Sers counts the months since they last spoke: three, six, and then a whole year. He repeats the phrase 'J'ai le coeur gros', which literally means 'I have a heavy heart', capturing the unique sadness that comes from a broken friendship, or 'chagrin d'amitié'. It’s a powerful and relatable message about missing late-night talks and inside jokes, and ultimately, it's a hopeful plea to reconnect, letting his friend know he's still waiting for that text.
