First, you need to know that we had this guy under our radar for a few months already, as he's a friend of our friend Jeff Mailfert.
On June 11, 2024, Hugo Barriol shared his thoughts in the form of a text on Instagram:
"I love dreaming! I need it to feel good, whether it's through music, stories, or films, in my life, I dream. Politics has never made me dream, and I rarely discuss it on social media. But now, I need to, because I want to live in a world where peace, respect, and love can prevail, but I see that the situation is critical.

Lyrics
We’re never gonna see the end
Never gonna see the light
Playing on repeat, the same old story
They’re blinded by the power
War is not the answer
Men are killers, women are
Jesus, Allah, Brahma, Moses, saviors
Oh I want to see the light tomorrow
Brothers, sisters, mothers, fathers, dreamers, lovers, sinners, preachers
Come together
Brothers, sisters, mothers, fathers, dreamers, lovers, sinners, preachers
Come together
We’re never gonna see the love
Never gonna see the light
Playing on repeat, the same old story
They’re blinded by the power
War is not the answer
Men are killers, women are
Jesus, Allah, Brahma, Moses, saviors
Oh I want to see the light tomorrow
Brothers, sisters, mothers, fathers, dreamers, lovers, sinners, preachers
Come together
Brothers, sisters, mothers, fathers, dreamers, lovers, sinners, preachers
Come together
Oh I want to see the light tomorrow
I want to see the light tomorrow
Brothers, sisters, mothers, fathers, dreamers, lovers, sinners, preachers
Come together
