Hi all welcome back to another video Dereck Reacts back at it again! This time around we take a look at a first time reaction thanks to all of you and a PATREON sub with Michel Sardou "Les lacs du Connemara."

Any French knows how to sing this song at the top of his lungs without the slightest shame
Parle pour toi, 😄

@@babaorhum6901 mdr, c'est pas faux
Là à baaaaa au Connemaraaaaa, on dit que la vie, c’est une foliiiiieee
Je connais quelques phrases, mais par force de l'avoir entendu. Je ne suis pas un fan de Sardou. :-) I found his position too conservatives, sometimes nationalist, for me. But true, he's a famous singer in France. One cannot be liked by every ones.
You know, Dereck, it's usual in France to sing that completely drunk XD
Not surprising choice! 😁
And we are sure to sing properly and respect all lyricals ^^
Tu sais, qu'aux US, vos chanteurs sont complètement shootés à longueur de temps ?
Not "usual". It's TRADITION ☝️🐸
HAHA soirée Karaoké, trois girafes de bière dans le corps et ça se termine toujours avec du Sardoux :D
I'm Irish and live close to Connemara. Only those of us who have visited France know and love this song. I have very fond memories of being in France and the song being played in Breton bars when they heard I was Irish. Kenavo!!
breton know irish music a lot also.
Toute la France aime l'Irlande :)
@@bretagnejean2410logique, ils font partis des Celtes ! Apprend l'histoire.
Funny thing is, Michel Sardou actually wrote that song simply from viewing a pamphlet about vacations in Ireland lol.
@@SadSad-de2cy Tranquil, pas besoin d'être rude.
This song is used to close any party, wedding fest, student party... Everybody holding each other by the shoulder, jumping and turning, shouting the chorus as hard as you can. And the verses we sing only lalala as nobody really knows the lyrics. I can tell you that after a Connemara you have no energy and no voice left.
Ahhhh yes! The moment you hear the beginning of that song, you know it's the end... You know you have to give it all at this moment! And everyone does it!
Incroyable que cette variétoche d'un vieux réac soit devenue un must des soirées arrosées de la jeune génération (à laquelle je n'appartiens pas) !
Mdrrrr c est la chanson de rappel de fin de soiree
@@mfcq4987 oui je ne saurai pas expliquer comment elle en est arrivée à ce point ahah
@@kanapesh6329 Je crois que chaque génération à son revival ringard. Quand j'étais jeune, à la fin des années 80, ils nous passaient du Claude François en boite. A cette époque où il était mort depuis 10 ans, c'était vraiment le comble du ringard. Et on pourtant on dansait là-dessus comme des tarés.
This is not a song. This is history.

the definitive 05h30 song of most french all nighters parties
i confirm.
YES! nous profitons de la vie en France! sauf l'été quand les anglais nous envahissent pour nous détester ensuite tout le reste de l'année! XD
We love you all in France! From Ireland! So powerful!!!
Thank you man, sincerly. I fell in love with Ireland and Irish people. Irish, as well as Scottish are France's best allies, we shed our blood together against the English crap and cowards. I hope that one day, I could come and see from my own eyes what i've dreamed since my childhood. Tiocfaidh ár lá, hail France and Ireland
We love you too Irish people!
Love you all too ;)

Very beautiful French song. Sardou is very popular here in France
This song is cleary our hymn (in France). Non-french people can't even imagine how it's in a bar/club/party when this song pops up. Everyone sung, dance, it's beautiful !
In Belgium too haha !
@@celialalien743 Yep! A number one at weddings 😅
And not even olf people, youg people too, student !
Yeah ... Except that it's about Ireland!
@@micade2518 I know. But we love it ^^
The song that no French ever sang sober 😂
Until Dereck reacted to it ahahah
@Paul Hastings1066 non c'est pas vrai xD
@@sylvainlengrand9608 oui je suis d'accord, il en faut un coup dans la gueule avant de chanter ça sinon c'est pas pareil 😂
We are never sober, that's why this song is so popular
@Paul Hastings1066 Liar, liar, pants on fire
Tous les Français connaissent cette chanson. Elle est encore souvent jouée dans les mariages, les bals etc, etc, et tout le monde chante à tue-tête. Merci.
C'est vraie et pour moi elle fait partie d'une de mais préfère
Wow, I’m from Connemara in ireland and never realised just how popular this song was in France
It is !!!
Also very big in Belgium
A VERY popular song in France indeed, as well as in the French-speaking part of Belgium. And it is why when we French people go to Ireland, visiting the Connemara is an absolute must.
This song is so popular in France we can’t even start to describe how much like can you be French if you don’t know it😂
A chaque mariage il y a cette musique
and when Irish come in France and listen to this for the first time, they're like: "wtf?" and a few minutes after, it's "I like this" and they sing in chorus with the partying French...
I mean, isn't what Irish do anyways? I love this country so much, I was supposed to go there this summer, but fucking covid decided otherwise...
This song is about the Irish spirit of independence. And as you can tell, it has a very big Celtic inspiration.
It is a French song traditionally played at the end of a party by the DJ to announce that the party is soon over or at least that the DJ is leaving.
The song is borrowed from resistance and invites the last revelers to dance like a last stand.
Quelle connerie..
Il parle de connerie qui voulait sauter la maureen surtout..
Il y a aussi la danse des canards pour dissuader les dernières commandes au bar
@@gillessotty8156 '' on accepte pas la paix des Gallois ni celle des rois d'Angleterre '' sa suffit pour vous faire fermer votre geule non laisser les anglais parler vous les français visiblement vous avez un problème avec la compréhension des chansons de sardou même pour les lacs du connemara 😂😂
@@laror999 Je tiens à, officiellement, désolidariser la France dans son ensemble vis à vis du commentaire de Prouvençau qui n'as visiblement pas réalisé le sens des paroles au delà de Maureen et Connery.
@@kayd6572 la danse des canards j'avais pas vue
In France, when this song goes to a nightclub, it dances more than on David Guetta ! :) En France quand cette chanson passe en boite de nuit ca danse plus que sur David guetta :)
Par chez moi ça annoncer la fermeture de la boîte où l’on devait finir nos verres, et un dernier moment de chant et de danse avant de rentrer chez soi.
Normal cette chanson à force devenue une chanson de saoulards pas étonnant. Y'a mieux comme chanson de Sardou pour la fête je pense.
@@jevousemmerdetouslesthunde2391 « les bals populaires »par exemple ? 😂
@@maureennicolae2044 Digne aussi de la première!😅😆
Danser là dessus c'est pas évident le rythme change tout le temps lol
Merci de vous intéresser sérieusement à la culture française sans condescendance. Ça m'étonne d'un anglo-saxon et flatte ma fierté d'être français en même temps.
Vive votre chaîne, vive Michel Sardou et surtout, vive la France ! 🇫🇷
On va l'emmener a un Tonus ou une disco de campagne, quand arrive l'heure de la dernière musique il va rien comprendre a ce qu'il se passe autour de lui ^^
My favorite part of the lyrics is
"Là bas, au connemara
On dit que la vie
C'est une folie
Et que la folie
Ça se dance"
Which can be traslated to
"There in Connemara,
It's said that life,
is madness
And madness
is made to be danced."
michel Sardou is a big star in France ! he sings since the end of the 60s you can listen to titles like :
je vais t'aimer
Afrique adieu
les villes de solitudes
être une femme
la maladie d'amour
2000 ans etc.....
Je vais t'aimer ❤️
Michel sardou is a great lyricist ! He is a great figure of French song . 💙
Et tout le reste. ... My favorit singer. ...
En chantant, je vole....
"J'accuse" I discovered this song when I was a teenager...
I'm Irish and my French teacher played this for us about 30 years ago. I have it on my music library and every so often it comes up on a shuffle. There are a lot of typical Irish names and place names in it. Great song, have seen a video of people shouting along with it at a large party in France.
The lyrics were made around a touristic document about Ireland. :-)
At the star it should have been about Scotland.
Ton prof c'est un gros con où koi?
Don't thrust those kido, we know this song in France and.. well we knows ^^
Indeed we shout this song on the party nights in France, I always wondered if it was heard until Ireland.
As a French girl with Irish roots I have my own interpretation of that particular song. It is all about Irish independence and the scars from the civil war. Michel Sardou used to write very political songs. He has been involved in many polemics because of his political opinions and many songs are to listen ( read) « second degree » as they are mostly sarcastic like « the old time of colonies » that is a denunciation of what happened there. About « les lacs du Connemara » it is a painting of life in Ireland at the early 80’s, a romantic place with a dark past and the physical wound in the north ( black clouds coming from the north) if you need an explained translation just ask me !
I am very emotional with this song as it is a bridge between the two parts in me the French singer, the Irish history and music. And you can believe me it was not simple to find a song with my very Irish name in France (and also someone saying my name correctly 🤪)
Hello

Je ne sais pas si tu lira ce message mais si tu veux écouter une chanson interessante sur l'histoire de L'Irlande du nord, je te recommande "Bobby Sand" de Soldat Louis.
Cordialement.
@@maximev.5805 merci beaucoup, je vais me pencher sur la question 🙏🏻
Il n'y a qu'en France que l'on peut trouver des délires comme ça avec des voix aussi exceptionnelles... Michel the best and for ever....
"Je vais t'aimer" , it's a incredible love song, his voice is amazing !!
th-cam.com/video/IYBeBQuqgek/w-d-xo.html
I definetly agree !!!
Pour moi Une des plus belle chanson d amour de tout les temps
100% agree👍🏻
"Je vais t'aimer":on of the best songs of Michel Sardou!!
Michel Sardou was touring in Ireland with his musicians and producers when after a long hard's work day, they jokingly decided to write a song about Ireland. But, none of them knew the country that much. They went to bed. Early on the next morning, the producer went downtown looking for information in tourism offices and came back with loads of flyers about Ireland. The band laughed a lot and decided to write the song just for fun. It turned out to be a B side on a record but the lyrics were kind of part of irish history/civilization and it became a great hit, one of the top ten here in France.
Probably why it's written about Connemara of all places.
At least they included the Connemara horses in the video 🤣
Oooooh Michel Sardou what an other iconic singer in France ! So many amazing song ! “Ne m’appelez plus jamais France" ❤️
He was very controversial during all his carrier.
the singer puts himself in the place of the French transatlantic which was called "France" and which was sold to Norway because during the oil crisis it was no longer profitable....it is therefore a cry of despair from the boat which think that France is abandoning it! “Ne m’appelez plus jamais France" it's a cry of despair
I'm from Brittany and I love the celtic world. This song is one of the Sardou's classics. Please Dereck, I would love to see you react on Manau: " la tribu de Dana" . Please, It is incredible: elle est incroyable !
Tri Martolod
La tribune de Dana le just à rap sont that look à part of an old classic song from Britany.
Sorry for all the errors my phone keyboard did
Autant parler d'Alan Stivell plutôt. Pourquoi promouvoir la copie et non l'original ?
@@SylvainFLAUX
Je ne cherche à promouvoir personne, j'ai juste envie de voir Dereck réagir à une chanson que j'aime bien. 🤔
Before covid, this song was the signal to climb on the tables and "sing our bananas off".
Miss those times.
In Belgium we play that song at weddings. We all start waving our hanky
To listen to bagpipes in a great French hit, I suggest "Manau - La tribu de Dana"
oh oui !!
OUI
MAIS OUI C'EST CLAIR
Oui oui oui ouiii
Tellement! La tribu de Dana by Manau is such a beautiful song! An hymn to the ancient Celts. And we don't even need to be drunk to sing it. Ahah!
Speaking of smokey voice and Johnny, Michel was a very good friend of him for many years.
This song is about the conflict between Northern Ireland and Ireland 🇮🇪 when the song was released, there were attacks on both side of the border. Behind most of his songs there’s always a story.
Michel Sardou is a great singer and "Connemara" is like a drama, lyric especially in the crescendo. Thanks for your interest in French singers and your open-mindedness.
Hi, for « Le temps des colonies » Sardou is in the skin of a character, he doesn't talk about himself in the first person. It is a humorous song, not a racist one. Sardou is an actor in his songs, he has never been racist, nor homophobic or anything else. Anyway, keep listening to Sardou, he is our best singer!
It's the song that French fishmen loves. There is no party in French Britain without it, and everybody sing it loud, making noises with his feet 😅😂😂😂 and moving the fist high in rhythm. It's incredible to live it, feel it. Your bones are shaking with that rhythm. 😁
There's no party in the whole France without this song (I'm from Burgundy) 😉
he was the biggest french star with Johnny Hallyday. If you beguin with him, you can listen 50 top songs from him minimum :)
Biggest ?
Sure ?
@@m.thibaud6003 100 millions de disques vendu, second plus gros vendeur de disque derrière Johnny Hallyday
No please.
Yeaaaaah! You've fallen down the rabbit hole, Dereck, by discovering our National Treasure, Michel Sardou! HE is to French pop music what Mozart was to classical music 👍👍👍
This man is the 4th generation of a very appreciated artistic dynastie. He made his first appearance on a theatre stage at the very early age of 3 months !
He recorded his first song by the bias of acting when he was chosen to be the very first Enjolras from the original french version of the musical Les Misérables.
He was so much praised for the wonder of his voice he decided eventually to make a name for himself in music industry.
My favorite songs from is long list of material are Musulmes and Le bac G. He also made a duet with Celine Dion called Voler.
This song is more of a love declaration mixed with an anthem.
In France we almost all agree that his ideas are... Old. But this song... Everyone in France know it. Everyone in France sing it all loud when they're drunk. This song is just really good!
Sure but we need to be deadfully drunk to sing.. and no one of us would easily recognize it XD
I am really wondering who you are referring to by "we ... All"? And even "his ideas" by the way. Evites d'utiliser un "nous tous" juste parce-que tu t'imagines être une majorité écrasante.
Sardou est un chanteur qui aime chanter son pays je vois pas ce qu'il y a de mal là dedans... Les ricains, le France ou Je suis pour sont des chansons qui font sens. Tu devrais probablement écouter plus ses paroles que ceux qui te disent quoi penser de lui !
Je suis d'accord, je déteste ce type mais quel chanteur, quelle voix !! quelles belles chansons ! quelle intensité !
Dereck don't let the thought police influence you. Michel Sardou just speaks his mind in TV interviews that's all. He is a star since the 60's so of course he's from an other generation. He has an amazing voice and bold songs.
Michel Sardou said multiple times : A song is good when you can interprate it live and it talks to people. The fact that you wanna see it live prove how right he is and how you understand how Sardou works with all his song. If you can take a look at : Afrique Adieu, Marie Jeanne, en chantant, la maladie d'amour etc ...
Hi. Listen "Vladimir Ilitch" from Sardou. Great orchestral song too and the lyrics are about how soviets became fools. I'm a folk metal guy but Sardou 70's/80's songs are greats and Vladimir Ilitch is just awsome title.
" Les ricains" th-cam.com/video/CvvyGlbY_jQ/w-d-xo.html Subtiles english " chanteur de jazz " th-cam.com/video/-hHMXak9yKk/w-d-xo.html "Un accident " th-cam.com/video/QcUH9oz7JNs/w-d-xo.html .
Tout à fait d'accord avec vous
You should react to "Le France" from him. His voice is incredible in this song.
th-cam.com/video/m5cEK42RFXQ/w-d-xo.html
Le France est tellement magnifique comme chanson !!! Elle est très puissante elle me fout la chaire de poule a chaque fois
@@thynicia68 Je préfère " Lettre à France" de Polnareff, mais ça reste une belle chanson de Sardou quand même!
@@ericm8850 après c'est pas le même contexte, l'un parle d'un majestueux bateaux, et l'autre de son exil forcé du pays. Mais c'est vrai qu'elles sont toutes les deux magnifiques 💙
Mauvais homme aussi, très puissant
Omg your community made you sound this song! 😂 I think it well known in business school and parties. We sang it at 4:00 a.m with some alcohol in our body. Even young people know this song now
I don't know if some sober people can sing that song - except Sardou himself 😁
Very famous song here in France ! You should listen to Claude François's "Magnolias for ever" or "Alexandria Alexandra", he is the original composer, writer and singer of the original "My way" called "Comme d'habitude" in French :)
Yeah! He must listen to Claude François next. And especially to « comme d’habitude ».
Yes! I totally agree with this! For English speaking people "my way" is the original song but not at all! Listen to "comme d'habitude" and look at the translated lyrics... It's a sad song...
The fun fact is that "comme d'habitude" was proposed to Michel Sardou, who finally sang it ten years later in his album "la java de Broadway".
Very good suggestion
I love that this song has the exact same "group drunk dancing and singing too loud at 3am at a party" vibe for every French person ever, that's beautiful. On the same page, you should react to La Tribu de Dana by Manau, Derek!
"Les lacs du Connemara" is about Ireland. "Le temps des colonies" has been controversial, but it is obviously sarcastic. He is playing a role in his songs. He has always said that.
Michel Sardou was my mom's favorite singer. I've been raised with his music. When you look at him, he seems to be a "normal" guy, but he is the French singer who has been the most polemical in his whole career. He sang "Le temps des colonies", and they said he was racist. He sang several songs that made people think he was the least patriotic French guy. People believed he was a misogynist, he sang "Femmes des années 80". He has been called "the 1st punk in history" because his songs were often very polemical. If you listen to "J'accuse", "Je suis pour", "Le France"... You will think he was crazy to sing these songs when you know in which context he sang them, the moment they've been released. In the end of the 60's French people criticized America a lot. Then he sang "Monsieur le président de France" and "Si les Ricains n'étaient pas là". In these 2 songs he reminds people and politics that if American soldiers hadn't come and fought and died in France, French people wouldn't be French anymore.
Now he is retired from his singer career, he plays theater, but when he has something to say, he does.
Le temps des colonies est une chanson qui se moque de ce temps là Sardou ne l'a pas chanté au 1er degré...
TEEEERRRRRE BRULLÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉE \o/
Ahah que c'est marrant de voir la réaction à CE TUBE INTEMPOREL qu'on adore tant
... vivement qu'on refasse des vraies bonnes grosses chouilles pour la chanter un verre à la main :(
This is on so many French people's playlist of "Songs to sing and dance to when drunk at 3 in the morning at your cousin's wedding."
On weddings, 200% drunk, this is a massive hit and everybody screams/sings it , arm crossed and shoulder to shoulder. Classic « give me another drink » stuff for us
Song composed by the same guy who composed My Way, Jacques Revaux, a genius.
Merci Bobby je ne savais pas. Nice nick name too , don t go crazy with it 😉
Qui a une voix magnifique ! I On l'entend chanter sur les Demoiselles de Rochefort, Peau d'Ane et Une chambre en ville de Jacques Demy. Et c'est lui génère le plus de revenus à la SACEM !
Cool reaction as always.
"Bagpipes, who would have thought that was gonna happen ?"
Well... it shouldn't have been a surprise, given the title... ^^
Dereck I love your show, I am a Frenchman in America. Have you ever made a video about French singer Christophe? He died last year from COVID, he was the pioneer of synths pop in France. Check out his songs, you can start with "Les mots bleus", probably his most famous song, done in collaboration with no other than Jean-Michel Jarre !
Yes , Christophe made the music and Jarre made the ... lyrics.
Love your reaction.
Not easy to explain in short lines how this song has deep connections with french people.
One region in France, known as Brittany, has their own language and culture.
Their songs have a celtic sound, with bagpipes and binious (Breton bagpipes) and sea shanties.
Some success Breton songs in France:
French lyrics:
Hugues Aufray - Santiano (1961)
Tri Yann - la jument de michao (1973)
Manau - La tribu de Dana (1998 Pop)
Breton lyrics:
Nolwenn Leroy - Tri Martolod (2011 - traditional breton song remastered)
Bro Gozh ma Zadoù (National Anthem of Brittany)
An hini a garan - Denez Prigent (ballad)
Hi Dereck, this song is an hymn dedicated to Ireland, its scenery, its people. The colour of this song (its tempo as you said) is very Irish, very rhythmic...
Nous avons des chanteurs incroyables en France 😉
Nous avions
Magnifique chanson …
For those looking for the lyrics ( with a kind of translation 🤪)
Terre brûlée au vent
Des landes de pierres
Autour des lacs, c'est pour les vivants
Un peu d'enfer, le Connemara
Des nuages noirs qui viennent du nord
Colorent la terre, les lacs, les rivières
C'est le décor du Connemara
Au printemps suivant, le ciel irlandais était en paix
Maureen a plongé nue dans un lac du Connemara
Sean Kelly s'est dit 'je suis catholique', Maureen aussi
L'église en granit de Limerick, Maureen a dit oui
De Tipperary, Barry-Connely et de Galway
Ils sont arrivés dans le comté du Connemara
Y avait les Connors, les O'Connolly, les Flaherty du Ring of Kerry
Et de quoi boire trois jours et deux nuits
Là-bas au Connemara
On sait tout le prix du silence
Là-bas au Connemara
On dit que la vie, c'est une folie
Et que la folie, ça se danse
Terre brûlée au vent
Des landes de pierres
Autour des lacs, c'est pour les vivants
Un peu d'enfer, le Connemara
Des nuages noirs qui viennent du nord
Colorent la terre, les lacs, les rivières
C'est le décor du Connemara
On y vit encore au temps des Gaëls et de Cromwell
Au rythme des pluies et du soleil
Aux pas des chevaux
On y croit encore aux monstres des lacs
Qu'on voit nager certains soirs d'été
Et replonger pour l'éternité
On y voit encore
Des hommes d'ailleurs venus chercher
Le repos de l'âme et pour le cœur, un goût de meilleur
L'on y croit encore
Que le jour viendra, il est tout près
Où les Irlandais feront la paix autour de la Croix
Là-bas au Connemara
On sait tout le prix de la guerre
Là-bas au Connemara
On n'accepte pas
La paix des Gallois
Ni celle des rois d'Angleterre
Scorched earth in the wind,
Stone moorlands
Around lakes,
It is for the living
A bit of hell (A bit of a blast),
Connemara.
Black clouds
Coming from the north
Color the earth,
Lakes and rivers,
It's the scenery of Connemara.
The following spring,
The Irish sky
Was at peace,
Maureen plunged
Naked in a lake in Connemara.
Sean Kelly has said:
" I am catholic,
Maureen too! "
The church in Limerick granite
Maureen said yes.
Tipperary
Bally Connelly,
And Galway,
They arrived
In Connemara County.
Was Connor,
The O'Connelly,
the Flaherty
Of the Ring of Kerry
And with something to drink
For three days and two nights.
There in Connemara,
We all know the price of silence
There in Connemara,
It is said that life,
It is madness
And madness
It is made to be danced.
Scorched earth in the wind,
Stone moorlands
Around lakes,
It is for the living
A bit of hell (A bit of a blast),
Connemara.
Black clouds
Coming from the north
Color the earth,
Lakes and rivers,
It's the scenery of Connemara.
Some still lives
on the path of Gaels and Cromwell,
With the rhythm of the rain and the sun,
the horse's stepping
We still believe in it
Lakes monsters
That we see swim
Some summer evenings
And submerge forever.
We still see
Men from elsewhere
Who came, Looking for
The peace of the mind
And for the heart
A taste of something better.
They still believed there
That the day will come,
it's close,
Where the Irish
Will make peace
Around the cross
There in Connemara
We all know the price of war
There in Connemara
We do not accept
Peace from Welsh
Neither English king peace
T motivé dit donc😂
Michel Sardou has a powerful voice. Love his song Beethoven and the video...
You’re gonna love “Afrique Adieu”, another classic by Michel Sardou, it has an amazing melody, bass line, percussions, back up singing, etc etc. 🤤 really looking forward to your reaction on this one!
Seconded, it has all the ingredients Dereck loves. The production is HUGE on that song.
I already proposed to him with the link the last time but he prefered to do this one. Pfffffff Afrique Adieu musically is MUCH BETTER for a FIRST TIME. Dereck was afraid when he listened to this song! I understand him! lol Not the BEST for a "first baptism"!
Et " l'an mil " avec ce "Dies irae " inclus dans la mélodie . ces notes graves et oppressantes ! And " Vladimir Illitch"
@@benoitdurant7919 et christodavid x alias Fantoma le troll facho psychopathe et sociopathe d'internet et fan extrémiste de Farmer.
Enfin !!!! I love Michel Sardou !!!! Thank you !!!
Aucun français ne peut pas dire qu'il ne la connais pas par cœur ❤ c'est devenue une hymne chez nous
Moi je peux, mais en même temps j'suis pas français de souche 😅.
Sounds like a Broadway song !!!! Love it 😍😍
Just a note on the lyrics, they were written by Pierre Delanoë who worked a lot with Michel Sardou. Delanoë got his inspiration from the Quiet Man, the John Ford film with John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara and from news coverage of the Troubles in Northern Ireland. xx
Y3p. EXTREME POLITICAL statement. The bombings in Northern Ireland were traumatizing for Europe, and this is a plea for peace
His song about the french ship "France" is heartbreaking. It's still relevant today because of the global economy.
Makes me cry anytime I hear it!
Here in France we use to play this song when the bar or club is about to close to let know is closing and every people (most totaly drunk) dance crazy and sing on it like its the best song ever written !!! For every french people this song is related to so much fun !!!
The lyrics deal with Ireland, the landscapes, the way of life, the catholicism, the celtic pride, the conflict with England.
The music reminds old folkloric songs, but it's more sophisticated and orchestrated.
Racism accusations against him are unfair and stupid, else I'm sure you could read more about it on wikipedia.
Yes and also about north and south Ireland war about that two parts
All is said. You're right !
Aaah Dereck I love your reactions so much 😍 It's so enjoyable to get the point of view from someone who's not French, and your enthusiasm brings so many good vibes.
On a much more recent note, I'd love to see you react to Christophe Willem with "Double Je" or "Berlin". Keep on going!
I like how you seem so serious in every reaction! xD Finally this song. Kind of an anthem for us Frenchs, so powerful, when you hear it everyone is forced to sing it. A song to know!
You can’t end any party in France without playing this song and singing it at the top of your lungs
Superbe chanson et musique qui l'accompagne est. D'une puissance incroyable merci Dereck réaction 👍🙏👏💖concert Dereck
It is a very beautiful song, and Michel Sardou is big in France...
Le texte s'inspire finalement du film L'Homme tranquille de John Ford, en évoquant un mariage irlandais et laissant le conflit entre protestants et catholiques en toile de fond.
The text is finally inspired by John Ford’s film The Quiet Man, evoking an Irish marriage and leaving the conflict between Protestants and Catholics in the background
Dereck qui nous fait une réac sur Sardou et son lac du Conemara ! Dingue ! il va devenir incollable sur notre culture musicale ! chapeau et merci, ça fait plaisir.
Something interesting about Sardou is that his voice is so strong, poised, and powerful that he absolutely doesn't have to try. He doesn't have to belt stuff out. It just comes out on volume 11, with passion and colour in it....and, paradoxically, it actually makes him pretty boring to see on stage. I saw him with my folks when I was a kid, and it's just funny, you would imagine him you know, "pushing", but he doesn't. He's just there, singing looking nearly bored, not out of breath, not bent over, not taking huge breath in, but it still hits you like a sledgehammer. Love him, regardless of whatever people think of him and his politics and social views, to me, he's one of the 3-4 voices that braided to form the soul of French music from the 70s to the 90s.
La música celta es típica de Escocia e Irlanda pero también del Noroeste de España y de Francia.
Damned ! Michel Sardou. One of the most prolific, controversial French singers, but with an immensely rich career. Of course we like him or not. Personally, it's not my cup of tea. But this title is musically exceptional. Indeed lately this song closes beatfully any ultra-alcoholic student party, but that's always been like that, I remember certain weddings where in an sacred way at one point everyone was singing at the top of their lungs TERRRRRREEEEE BRULLLLEEEEEE. Shameful, unbearable ... but unforgettable
From a french living i Korea, i love your positive vibes !!! We need more people like you , enjoying simple things whatever they understand or not the language:) 🙏🥰❤️🇫🇷🇰🇷
Oh My God, this song is fantastic. We sings this shit everywhere !! Every french person know this song. It's like a song who keep people together, like a big hug for 5min, I love this song !
(From a french girl)
You should try "Je vais t'aimer" from Michel Sardou, a true masterpiece 👌
A faire pâlir tous les marquis de Sade, à faire rougir les putains de la rade...
Je ne suis pas mort je dors Michel Sardou... listen this ❤🙏❤
I love how you are sooooo not ready for the rest of the song on the beginning. us French, we know this by HEART and it's a freakin' Anthem.
Earing a band of friends and singing this song together with '' one'' voice... That' s amazing to live... Trust me..
I love how serious you are about french most popular drinking song!
Very famous french singer ! 😉
Here, during family parties, You know, with drunk uncle and so on, everybody sing it outloud 😁
Very happy that you took a suggestion of mine !
Here are other songs from M. Sardou.
This song is about women in the 80's who are able to do many different things like being an army general and supermodel..., and funny when he says "to access to the Chair of presidency and from there make France hard" !
Only for fun.
About this song, it has been played once at the end of a student party. The DJ thought this song would make them all go out but it did the opposite, everyone liked it and stayed until the end.
I don't know about today but this song has closed a lot of student parties as the signal of the last song.
Derek, from a French fan, you should listen to 'L'An Mille'. The orchestration is... quite unique :-)
Dereck I may be wrong but I'm pretty sure you're gonna make a lot of views with this video, this song is iconic in France
Michel Sardou is one of the biggest French singer of all time. Now, he's been more popular in the 60's and 70's. To me (and others) "Je vais t'aimer" is probably one of his most beautiful and powerful song.
Keep on doing your great vids Dereck, banana's powa :-)
Haha this song is so famous in our country. It's a monument !!!
And young People knows this song because When we hear this song in bars our discotheques.... This is the end... Evererbody goes out 😁 vive la France 🇫🇷
So cool to see you react to french music ! If you like old french songs, I'm sure you could enjoy Michel Polnareff's "Lettre à France", mindblowing song from 1978 ;)
Je suis arrivé un bon matin du mois de mai... Avec a la main les beignets que ma mère m'avait fait. Il m'ont demandé ! Mon nom mon métier... Mais quand fière de moi j'ai dis artiste de variétés.... A ce moment là je ne sais pas pourquoi j'ai entendu rire un type que je ne connaissais pas !!!!
Le rire du sergent....🎶🎵
Michel Sardou is perfect for reaction channel, because...he's a reactor himself (just jocking, but when he speaks on tv, most of the time he speaks like he thinks and sometimes it's bordeline because he's got some ideas not really common comparing lots of artists, lot of his songs are also pointed because of the lyrices not very politically correct).
But he's one of the big old french singer.
Fun fact: This song is like an hymn, every french people knows at least the "riff" and a lot of parties end with everyone singing it as "la lala lala lalalalala" ...even more when everyone is drunk and happy :-)
Tout le monde, je ne sais pas... la gauche interdit presque à ses adhérents d'approcher Sardou à moins de dix kilomètres. C'est limite péché. :D
@@SCharlesDennicon je suis de gauche et même si il dit parfois des trucs limites, je préfère un mec comme lui qui dit ce qu'il pense (on ne peut pas lui reprocher de prendre des pincettes) que beaucoup de gens de gauche qui jouent les faux-cul pour soutenir d'énormes conneries juste parce-que c'est de bon ton de penser ceci ou cela. :-)
Les irlandais aussi !
In France it's known to be the last music at a wedding party, drunk happy French singing and shouting until the very least note 🎉
And for other Sardou's songs I recommande Le France (where he shows his voice), La Java de Broadway (very funky song), Une fille aux yeux clairs (a slow but so beautiful song) 😍
I want Dereck's reaction to "Le temps béni des colonies" (with subtitles) ^^
may be the french singer with the most number 1 hit in france (with jj goldman)
In Belgium people like to play this at weddings, late in the evening, everyone is getting a little drunk, waving a white napkin around 😂
This song is so great to shout at the end of the party, every body sings and dances and you feel so empowered! But for sure French are not used to listen to it sober 😂
"But for sure French are not used to listen to it sober "
Not our fault, it's the irish effect :D
Michel Sardou best audio femmes des années 80 juste un must
" Être une femme " is a disco song with numerous lyrics . . . sexy.
@@pascalmarfaing1690 you mean a man's fantasy, but quite sexist from a woman's POV. 😑😑☹️
"Les Lacs Du Connemara" never was as great live as it was on the studio version : the reason is the studio version was created with the London Symphony Orchestra while on stage synths were used and no synth can match a huge symphonic orchestra. Michel Sardou has a lot of very "cinematic" songs, among many other of many kinds. Try "Un Roi Barbare", "Verdun", "La Pluie De Jules César", "La Haine", "La Maison En Enfer", "Les Villes De Grande Solitude"... Then once you'll have finished discovering Sardpu, try Serge Lama, a great voice and a great lyricist too !
Yes the final instrumental part is always disappointing in live version.
J'ai toujours entendu cette chanson en fin de soirée, aux mariages, aux anniversaires, aux Karaokés, partout ! Tout le temps ! Mes enfants la connaissent, c'est la tradition !! :D
Love this song. Probably the first one that introduced me to the celtic world.💙
Numerous French tourists go to the lakes of Connemara !
