You will brag to everyone about your apartment, the culture and the people, but will secretly hate the winters, the heatwaves, the tourists and the constant construction. You will call the subway the metro and the corner stores will become dépanneurs. Your new favorite late-night snack will become poutine. You will live off bagels with smoked salmon and cream cheese and espressos. As she promises to make you a playlist, she smiles and puts her hands on yours.Īnd while she speaks, you've already made life plans.
She's outraged that you've never heard of Munya, Vanille or Milk & Bone. She discusses her job, her passions and the music she listens to. They all wave at her and give her two kisses on the cheek to greet her (what a weird way to greet people). She introduces you to the bartender, along with everyone else she knows there.
She brings you to a rooftop where you see the Mount Royal Cross and the downtown skyline. NPR Music Playlists Hunky Punky Poolboy: 23 bops and ballads for the summer stud The French-speaking Montréalais call it un coup de foudre - love strikes like a sudden thunderstorm. Your eyes meet and you know it's too late. She looks unapologetically perfect in her Y2K-inspired clothing you've never seen low-rise jeans fit someone this good since 2002. The canicule - that's what they call heatwaves there - doesn't seem to bother her. She makes the ice in her Apérol Spritz glass clink as if she's playing along with the music. She unpretentiously throws her head back as she laughs. The golden hue of the sunset makes her many rings shine. When you enter the wine bar recommended by a local you met at Olimpico, you are welcomed with a cheerful "Bonjour-hi!" French music is playing in the background. You came for the terrasses, the français, the restaurants, the bagels (superior to New York, you are told), the vintage shops, the bookstores and the people. You didn't travel to Montréal to fall in love. Stream the playlist via Apple Music, Spotify, Tidal, YouTube.
