Jorane
Jorane Pelletier (born October 12, 1975), known professionally as Jorane, is a French-Canadian singer/cellist, who is notable for her alternative music style on a typically classical instrument as well as her ability to sing while playing cello at the same time.
Jorane's style on the cello has been compared to Tori Amos on the piano. She has worked with Sarah McLachlan for her record Afterglow, among other well-known artists. In 2004, the press also reported that Jorane would appear on a Halloween special of the television series ZeD to perform a "witchy acid cello".
She has released eight full-length studio albums to date.
Jorane performed a completely improvised piece inspired by the images she was presented with on a large screen, in Montréal on July 7, 2007 as part of "Montréal Terre", a sister concert of the Live Earth concerts.
In addition to her own recordings, she composed the film score for the 2013 film Louis Cyr.

Vent fou
by: JoraneJinx, I feel I might jinx it
Something protects me
I feel I might jinx it
Destiny's unending fortunes have come in one breath
I fear I temp the fates
By written words and song
Of their spells
Will it drop me from the heavens?
If so, will I be strong enough to live without?
I feel protected by something
Like I'm being led by the hand to my brass ring
When will it leave me be?
Will it? Will it?
Did I make it come to be or did I come to be?
I don't want to be veiled by angels wings
I need not be nurtured by such things
But what if I'm not?
Maybe just emotions envading my thoughts
The only thing I did was trust the rabbit
To open the right doors
The only thing I did was believe in my thoughts
