Re: lyric request: Musician's Life by Nathan Abshire on Swallow

Thanks, Marc and Bryan!
Mortifiant! That' quite a word!

I think I hear these lines better now:
(don't quite agree with Ye Yaille Chere's lyrics)

Ça c'est dur, ouais, pour moi
Guette me voir aujourd'hui

and Moi j'connais ça m'fait d'la peine
Guette me voir aujourd'hui

We say some things like Comprendre voir, Ecoute voir, where the voir adds emphasis. I think he's saying Look at me today. At least it fits the sense of the song.
