Une jolie chanson!  People I've been feeling sad

[Verse 1]
It's true that, people, I've been sad (People, I've been sad)
It's true that, people, I've been gone (People, I've been gone)
It's true that, people, I've been missing out (I've been missing out)
Missing out for way too long (People, I've been gone)
It's just that me, myself, and I (Me, myself, and I)
Been missing out for way too long (Out for way too long)
Been taking calls I should have missing out (I've been missing out)
Forsaking things for way too long (Didn't take for long)

[Chorus]
If you (You)
Disappear, then I'm (I)
Disappearing too
You know the feeling (You know the feeling)
You know the feeling
If you (You)
Fall apart, then I'm (I)
Falling behind you
You know the feeling (You know the feeling)
You know the feeling

[Verse 2]
Les gens viennent et parlent mal (Ils parlent si mal)
Des sentiments qui pourtant comptent (Tellement ils comptent)
Pris au piège de quelque chose de fort (Quelque chose de fort)
Je n'ai décroché pour personne (Jamais pour personne)

[Chorus]
If you (You)
Disappear, then I'm (I)
Disappearing too
You know the feeling (You know the feeling)
You know the feeling
If you (You)
Fall apart, then I'm (I)
Falling behind you
You know the feeling (You know the feeling)
You know the feeling

[Bridge]
Adolescence contrariée par un millier de chardons morts
Marcher pieds nus sur du verre et maintenant tout est plus fort
Adolescence contrariée par un millier de remords
Maintenant quand je ressens quelque chose, tout est bien plus fort
Adolescence contrariée par un millier de chardons morts
Marcher pieds nus sur du verre et maintenant tout est plus fort
Adolescence contrariée par une solitude folle
Maintenant quand je suis dehors, le soleil me brûle encore
Ils parlent si mal
Tellement ils comptent
Quelque chose de fort
Jamais pour personne

[Chorus]
If you (You)
Disappear, then I'm (I)
You know the feeling (You know the feeling)
You know the feeling
If you (You)
Fall apart, then I'm (I)
You know the feeling (You know the feeling)
You know the feeling
If you disappear, then I'm (I)
You know the feeling (You know the feeling)
You know the feeling (Mmm)
If you (If you)
Fall apart, then I (I, I)
You know the feeling (You know the feeling)
You know the feeling

For many centuries, France was the official language of culture, and erudition. It was the language of diplomacy and arts. Aristocrats in Imperial Russia spoke French, even amongst themselves, as Tolstoy and many others documented. In short, if you wanted to be educated, you had to speak French.

Things have changed a lot since then. With the decline of France and the rise of the Anglosphere, English is now the world's lingua franca. But French remains an official language in many international institutions, from the UN to the European Union to the Olympics Committee (founded by a Frenchman), and learning French still retains some cachet.

French may be a beautiful language, but few would argue it's the most useful, and almost nobody would argue it's the language of the future. John McWhorter spoke for many when he wrote an immediately viral piece titled, " Let's Stop Pretending That French Is an Important Language," attacking New York City's bilingual education programs.

Here's the thing: the data suggests that French language just might be the language of the future.

French isn't mostly spoken by French people, and hasn't been for a long time now. The language is growing fast, and growing in the fastest-growing areas of the world, particularly sub-Saharan Africa. The latest projection is that French will be spoken by 750 million people by 2050.

A study by investment bank Natixis even suggests that by that time, French could be the most-spoken language in the world, ahead of English and even Mandarin.

The study's methodology is somewhat questionable, since it counts as French-speakers all the inhabitants of countries where French is an official language, which probably won't be the case. And almost certainly, as a second language, English will remain the lingua franca (pun intended).

But the point still stands: French is still a fast-growing, global language. The other mooted language of the future, Mandarin, despite being excruciatingly hard to learn for most Westerners, will probably not be that given China's certain demographic slide. Meanwhile, French will be present on all continents, and particularly predominant in a continent that, by 2050, should be a fast-growing economic powerhouse--Africa.

If you were to pick a language of the future, you could do a lot worse.
