Normandy (/ˈnɔːrməndi/; French: Normandie, pronounced [nɔʁ.mɑ̃.di], Norman: Normaundie, from Old French Normanz, plural of Normant, originally from the word for "northman" in several Scandinavian languages) is one of the regions of France, corresponding to the historical Duchy of Normandy.
Administratively, Normandy is divided into five departments: Calvados, Eure, Manche, Orne, and Seine-Maritime. It covers 30,627 km² (11825 sq mi), forming roughly 5% of the territory of France. Its population of 3.37 million accounts for around 5% of the population of France.
The historical region of Normandy comprised the present-day region of Normandy, as well as small areas now part of the départements of Mayenne and Sarthe.The Channel Islands (referred to as Îles Anglo-Normandes in French) are also historically part of Normandy; they cover 194 km² and comprise two bailiwicks: Guernsey and Jersey, which are British Crown dependencies.
Normandy's name is derived from the settlement of the territory by mainly Norwegian and Danish Vikings ("Northmen") from the 9th century, and confirmed by treaty in the 10th century between King Charles III of France and Earl Rollo of Møre, Norway. For a century and a half following the Norman Conquest of England in 1066, Normandy and England were linked by Norman and Frankish rulers.

Our destination seemed resolved
But through high beams, tragedy called
It seemed a normal evening
We rode in silent walls between
Our wills like guillotines
I sped on mountain roads as
Your words came piercing through my chest
I'm your usual suspect
I turned my head in defense
That's when I heard you crash
And siren screams like rival factions
Two stories are told
We never knew at any moment
We just might implode
They're watching you crashing into
Crashing into me
And wishing they had what we see
Had what we see, had what we believe
We were magnetic fields
When we came together long ago
You glowed like burning halos
We spent a lifetime on the
Beaches of Normandy in vain
What for I can't explain
I looked to you from the darkened highway
Facing you in tears
And in that moment, metal twisted
And you disappeared
They're watching you crashing into
Crashing into me
And wishing they had what we see
Had what we see, had what we feel
They're watching you crashing into
Crashing into me
And wishing they had what we see
Had what we see, had what we believe
A fatal evening's drive is what
They always will assume
But I know better as I collide
Face first with you
They're watching you crashing into
Crashing into me
And wishing they had what we see
Had what we see, had what we feel
They're watching you crashing into
Crashing into me
And wishing they had what we see
