The song is an adaptation of the aria L'amour est un oiseau rebelle (Love is a rebellious bird - more commonly known in English as Habanera), from the opera Carmen by French composer Georges Bizet.The song addresses the theme of alienation through social networks.
Another thing that makes him so great is his use of double or even triple meaning in words. It’s unfortunately hard to translate entirely … For example, « comme ça qu’on s’aime » ( that’s how we love (love, love )) actually literally translated that’s how we love each other, sounds like « sème » which means seed/ to plant. so, could also be translated as, that’s how we plant plant plant ( subtext : things into your head) « comme ça consomme, somme somme » ( that’s how we buy (buy, buy), -> consomme means buy, but also and mainly consume, and « Somme » means « a sum » so it could also be heard as something that sums up -> piles up. That’s only one example. He is very, very smart with words. You should check out « humain à l’eau » about The environnement . There’s an official video. If you type « leçon de stromae humain à l’eau » you should be able to find it on his official TH-cam account. And definitely read the lyrics beforehand. Cheers from Brussels. Interest for Belgian beer and artists is highly appreciated.
'Ave cesaria' may not be the most heavily requested song, but it is such a delightful piece of music. Carmen refers to the famous opera by Bizet and more specific the song habanera, about a bird. Stromae samples this song as well (you 'll recognise the original 4sure)
Hi guys, i'm french, i love Stromae and it's really cool to watch you discovering him. In french music you can also listen Orelsan, one of our best rapper currently, him and Stromae work a lot together (there is some feats but more on the writing and the videos). You have "La pluie" (featuring Stromae), "l'Odeur de l'essence", "Suicide Social" (this one is better in live), "défaite de famille"...
Love your reactions! The title, the music and the lyrics are a strong reference to the opera Carmen by French composer Geroges Bizet, especially the piece named Habanera. The main theme is "if you don't love me, I love you. If I love you, beware". This is repeated many times by Stromae : Prends garde à toi, (Beware) Beware of false love, of consumer society, beware of the bird.
1 year later and i am back watching this video again, i have tried to connect to people in real life the last years but no one see me, everyone is on their phones in the bus, at the store and even just walking the dog - lonely planet
I leave my phone home and only use it in the living room, never in the bedroom, it doesn't go upstairs with me. People around me freak out because they cannot contact me all the time, but I enjoy quiet silence and private time outdoors
Thanks for this video!! Cant wait for the tiny desk reaction 🙃 Another video that stromae was released recently is "Mon Amour" with Camila Cabello. Anyway, like other people also said, once you have seen all the stromae's videos, all the ways will bring you to Racine Caree Concert, is a masterpiece ♡ Greetings from Chile.
It’s not only the social media story I feel like internet, television etc. Takes us away from god so instead of focusing on praying and doing good for the afterlife it lets us focus on basically nothing that’s good for us please everyone be warned and know your purpose in life ❤❤
Many of us asked you to react to Carmen de Stromae, so thank you for this video ! ! ! I don't know which title of Stromae I can suggest you react to, anyway other people have already made requests of you. But I have another request : if you would like to comment on another artist, a friend of Stromae. I will wait for your agreement before giving you the name, whether I have the right to mention it here or not. Have a good day ! Friendly from France
@@BeersBars precisely, I was thinking of Orelsan ;) (but I did not give the name, not knowing if I had the right to mention it here or not). I would like to see you react to some of his titles, especially one that I love "l'odeur de l'essence".
Dave must listens so add the the list ASAP!!!!! ( Survivors guilt, picture me, question time, Jkyl and Hyde, drama, Lazarus, professor X, screwface capital, We’re all alone, verdansk, 71/Endcredit, titanium, hangman, children of the internet) in that order, these are all must listens and some of them Im surprised you haven’t heard yet, so get on it asap I’m counting on you guys! Grab a lager or a Pilsner maybe even a Hefeweizen and please listen to these imma be sitting on my hands waiting. Cheers 🍻
It’s too bad this song (avf) doesn’t have an official music video or captions but these three artists (Stromae, OrelSan, GIMS) together are so good th-cam.com/video/UBmk9erMYKI/w-d-xo.html
If you like French-speaking rap, listen to Orelsan she talks about a super interesting subject the clip is magnificent (there are a lot of things to say about it)
Whats crazy is, am fully bilingual as a Québecois from Canada, and the traduction is good, but yall lose so much of the word play and meaning behind what hes saying. Obviously not your fault, just an observation Still good reactions, keep the good work

Thanks Djee, couple more checks in the box!
I thought it was Carl Orf. O'fortuna by apotheosis is another remix, the same opera
For me "Ave Cesaria" is the best song.
the fact that this song was released so ''long'' ago is also saying something
My friend was taking the train yesterday and sitting behind her was…Stromae. FREAK OUT
That's cool ✌️🍻

I m leaving in a municipality of Brussels named Ixelles where we re lucky to meet often Stromae in shops, restos,cafés, markets...
You guys have no idea that this melody is taken from Bizet's opera Carmen, do you? It is the famous Habanera. Please look it up.

The song is inspired by the French opera "Carmen" by Bizet :
