Humain et Singes 2

The song paints a stark portrait of Montreal’s housing crisis, tracing the historical swell of rent prices since Expo 67 and the displacement of communities. Through the metaphor of a yearning monkey, it symbolizes the universal search for refuge and the erosion of communal roots under capitalist pressures. A rallying cry in its chorus and bridge, the song urges solidarity and policy reform to rescue the city’s affordable housing and restore hope.
