The EC and the Channel Tunnel notwithstanding, the twenty-first century finds France and Britain still viewing each other suspiciously across the same twenty-five mile ditch, their centuries-old legacy of political rivalry and mutual opprobrium more or less intact. It does not help that the English insist on addressing their Gallic neighbours in GCSE French - a language unknown in France - and that the French themselves remain doggedly monoglot. However, one curious side-effect of this long-standing trans-Channel information gap is that each side secretly suspects the other of having a superior grasp of the universe, indeed of probably having a better time generally.
Does this mean that much of the mystique surrounding the great French vocalists and French chansons - merely their word for ‘songs’ after all - is the result of wilful Anglo-Saxon self-delusion? The probable answer is yes, given that most of our parents and grandparents would have had few clues as to whether Edith Piaf (known as the Little Sparrow), Jean Sablon and Charles Trenet were singing about a lost love or a light lunch. However, this in itself is a sort of tribute to a generation of French singers whose talents were compelling enough to bridge the linguistic divide between them and their foreign audience.
Delightful music for cafes, or coffee shops - imagine yourself back in time in Paris with relaxing chansons floating through the air. - เพลง

All of us who listen, I believe we all met before more than 80 years ago.
I am 25.
Haha, he was kidding
I'm 21! I love you for just saying that.
reincarnation baby ! :)
I'll be 21 in October and feel the exact same thing
La Vie En Rose always reminds me of my high school French teacher. She was a stern elderly woman who had survived the War in France and would tell us stories of how she and her brother had to eat rats to keep from starving. She would play La Vie En Rose in our class and there would be tears in her eyes. She was a tough old broad but I loved her dearly. I found out she died of cancer a few years ago. I hope she knew that she made a difference in kids' lives.
lacouerfairy😍
To lacouerfairy: Why was it that French teachers were elderly and stern and feisty. Maybe sick and tired of English speaking kids trying to master French. I was terrified of mine.
...But on the other hand, I know she was fair. I also have wondered what happened to her. I am sure she would have died now. Likely to have been a refugee from the Occupation of Paris in 1940.
World War II?
Did she eat Remmy?!
Just kidding, what a beautiful story, dear.
As a parisian, this music make me miss a Paris that don't really exist anymore...
Thank your traitor politicians and the ultra wealthy globalist elite for that.
Ah ,but in your heart and mind...
It can again. Or at least something a heck of a lot closer then what exists now. Its the same throughout Europe and America.
Hi everyone ! I'm a native french, I live in France and of course I speak french.
It made me so proud of France to see you all saying that the french is a beautiful language, that the songs are really romantic and melancolic,...
So I decided to translate "la vie en rose" because some people asked 😊

French :
Des yeux qui font baisser les miens
Un rire qui se perd sur sa bouche
Voilà le portrait sans retouches
De l'homme auquel j'appartiens
Quand il me prend dans ses bras
Il me parle tout bas
Je vois la vie en rose
Il me dit des mots d'amour
Des mots de tous les jours
Et ça me fait quelque chose
Il est entré dans mon cœur
Une part de bonheur
Dont je connais la cause
C'est lui pour moi, moi pour lui dans la vie
Il me l'a dit, l'a juré pour la vie
Et dès que je l'aperçois
Alors je sens en moi
Mon cœur qui bat
Des nuits d'amour à plus finir
Un grand bonheur qui prend sa place
Des ennuis, des chagrins s'effacent
Heureux, heureux à en mourir
Quand il me prend dans ses bras
Il me parle tout bas
Je vois la vie en rose
Il me dit des mots d'amour
Des mots de tous les jours
Et ça me fait quelque chose
Il est entré dans mon coeur
Une part de bonheur
Dont je connais la cause
C'est toi pour moi moi pour toi dans la vie
Tu me l'as dit m'a juré pour la vie
Et dès que je t'aperçois
Alors je sens en moi
Le coeur qui bat
English :
Eyes that bring mine down
A laugh that gets lost on his mouth
Here is the portrait without retouching
From the man I belong to
When he takes me in his arms
He whispers to me
I see life in pink
He tell me love words
Everyday words
And it does something to me
He has entered in my heart
A slice of happiness
That I know the reason
It's him for me, me for him in life
He told me, swore for life
And as soon as I see him
So I feel Inside me
My heart beating
Nights of endless love
A great happiness that takes its place
Trouble, grief disappears
Happy, happy to die
When he takes me in his arms
He whispers to me
I see life in pink
He tell me love words
Everyday words
And it does something to me
He has entered in my heart
A slice of happiness
That I know the reason
It's you for me me for you in life
You told me I swore for life
And as soon as I see you
So I feel Inside me
The beating heart

this is described how i feel when i listen to this song :'(
@@Alison0305 agree it's fernweh

this is giving me flashbacks to a memory i've never experienced
Same here ❤️
For an odd reason, yes.
Man I also remember riding with the bois to Paris in some panzers. Good times... makes me wanna cry
past life memories, are a thing.. you know. (despite what organized religion teaches us)
Fr tho
I miss my home back in Paris, I miss my little flat with my Grandmere telling me stories from ww2, singing to me, and us chatting about silly little things when I was a little girl. I miss home, I miss the great love of my life, my first and only love, dead. My Grandmere, still here but not alive, I miss them both. I will never forget the love brought by these songs. The great love of my life proposed to me while Edith paif played. Thank you universe, for this, for my joy, and my pain, I love them, I love whoever is reading this, I love you.

Someone listen to this in 2020? During quarantine?
Yup lmaoo, these songs help me get my mind off things and I begin to clean and etc. I even made baguette a type of french bread :/ XD

DAPHNE Study French! You will love it!
@@OneTrueWord1988 I should study, the language sounds so beautiful!
If ou want it i can translate it to you in English!!! Juste indicate me the song(s)
this is the album you hear quietly playing in the background when you're standing in your small but comfortable kitchen in the middle of paris, looking out of the window whilst holding a glass of wine in your left hand and cooking dinner for you and your love.
this is so good
Nailed it! Awesome portrait you painted there!
quality script painting
That would be parodies
girly Awww . . . that's a sweet picture, and you paint it well!
My dad passed away two weeks ago from COVID and I'm so glad I found this. This is exactly the kind of thing he'd listen to. He was from mexico and only spoke spanish and english, but loved music from all cultures. His latest phase was romantic italian songs. I downloaded duolingo for him so he could learn italian and try and understand the songs. Thank you for this. It brought me a little bit of peace.
Bless you ! keep strong ! i will keep you in my heart !!!!
I am so sorry for your loss, I hope you are happy and your dad is happy. Don't worry, your dad is in a happy place watching down from below. :)
@@robloxadventures7368 sorry for your lost!
I'm sorry about your dad. Everything is OK. Death is part of life too.
French is a state of mind. They make an art of everything, even eating. I think I'll turn everything in my life into an art.
Merci beaucoup 🙏🇫🇷
Imagine: small apartment. Sun shining through the blinds creating lines on the ground. The room glows with cheerful yellow. Newspapers and photographs lay on the coffee table. You had found this record at the thrift shop for two dollars and you put it on out of curiosity. You remember back to a conversation you had with the handsome friend you’ve known for three years. His smile is engraved into your mind. You laugh, you smile. Your cat glares at you across the room watching you slow dance awkwardly. The wind blows through the windows and rattled the blinds and sweeps the hair into your face as you spin.
Life isn’t perfect, but this moment is.
Nobody gives a fuck bout your opinion , get lost Fake living being
@@LinNil-gz3je Hell of a name for a hater!
Best image I have is in La Madelina looking back at my new bride lying naked on the bed, covers tossed aside with the Mediterranean sun streaming thru the shutters I've just opened, the sound of the restaurant below and the smell of sea and garlic. The music was Italian not French. 48 years later, I still remember. Keep thinking Laorin.
Kindness World well I suppose I am a bit of a Nobody, but I don’t believe the profanity was necessary
No call for your meanness, Kindness World. Your name and your attitude is such an oxymoron lol.
Anyone listen to these to calm down or take away anxiety?
Edit:i am so glad you guys agree, I still listen to this even after 2 years:)
Ain't this the truth. I listen to it when doing my coursework so I don't get stressed out. You are totally correct. This playlist makes you feel alive and not just a drone going through life.
Yes
Yeees
Yeeeeeeesss💕
Yes
Wow! Thank you!! Takes me back to a time when Paris was the most romantic city in the world, not the mess that it is now. I hope they make Paris beautiful again someday.
"Boum!" is such a lovely song. It immediately makes you happy, just like "Singing in the rain". You can't help but smiling and dancing following those happy rhythms
I was born in Paris 75-years ago and grew up listening to this music thanks to my maman. We lived in the 18-eme arrondissement near Montmartre, where Edith gained fame in Paris. We came to this great country in 1952 and ended up in Queens. I now live in N.H. Thanks to the brave Americans, I am here today. In 1943 bombs were falling left and right and my father put me and my mother on a train to Ellon, Normandy. We were a few miles from Caen, a city leveled by the bombing, and survivedth D-Day invasion. We went swimming at Arromanches after the war. I still remember the three sunken Liberty ships facing the coast and all the DUK-boats. Thank you to the brave, who died fighting, so that we can now live in peace. I, too, am an immigrant.
I set foot on this land on this day, March 3, 1952 from Paris, France. As you can probably tell, I listen to this song often, my maman's favorite. I know she can hear this and it is in her honor and memory. We came here on the, "Ile de France." I was seasick for six, agonizing days. It was worth it. Crying right now.....Michel
Merci beaucoup pour vôtre story! My family came from Alsace-Lorraine and Belgium...Bienvenue aux États Unis!
Merci for sharing such cherished memories... i am an immigrant too, but my story is not nearly as interesting as yours...However, i have felt nostalgic too.
I am now Married to the best French man and hopelessly in love with him, his culture and everything French!
Vive la France !!!
Your story has touched my heart.
Made it to 76.!!
Michel, As I am listening to the beautiful voice of Edith, I am so enjoying your post. Twenty five years ago this past year, my husband and I were blessed to have been able to have taken a 17 day belated honeymoon to the French and English countryside. I had sailed to France on the SS France with my brother and my mother in 1972. From the moment we sailed from NY city and passed the Statue of Liberty, the all French crew spoke nothing but French which was wonderful. We landed in Le Harve and took the boat train to Paris. We stayed 3 weeks on the Left Bank and spent the next 3 weeks in Italy. But in 1994 when my husband and I were on our honeymoon walking the beaches of Normandy with old soldiers who said "the last time we were here, "Nazis were shooting at us"; it felt like we were walking through history. We ate lunch at a small restaurant nearby where there was a sign that said "Welcome to our American liberators". Going to the American Cemetery and seeing all of the crosses and stars of David, changed our loves forever. Young people don't realize that "freedom is not free"; somebody had to pay the price so that we were able to be free. Your parents and mine were members of truly "The Greatest Generation". I also grew up listening to music. I would like to believe that your maman and my own precious are listening to this beautiful song in heaven. I also am crying now.
This counts as studying French right?
Oui
Yeah my French teacher tells me to listen to French music all the time to study, so helpful
This kind of French music is just so damn peaceful.
Of course no kiddin
Absolument
Anybody want to go to france after listening to this
Just came back in July after 8 1/2 months there and want to go back... forever. Nowhere better than Europe for me. France 🇫🇷 of course is number 1.
I always want to go france LOL
same
france is not like what people think it is, its neighbour switzerland is as close as what an expensive paradise looks like, I prefer it to france
Me too, even if I'm in France right now ;) and all days long
My buddy died two years ago. La vi en Rose was his mothers favorite song. One of our high school band's performances was the night of her birthday. So the band surprised her by playing it. She loved it.
Miss you Oskie.
I love reading the comments and seeing how everyone has their own interpretation of this kind of music. One person might see themselfs sitting on a balcony bathing in the sun and the other dreams of rainy days and resting inside. It only shows how music is a universal language but we al have a different dialect.
Very true 😞♥️♥️
Well said
that was very beautifully put
Yasss ❤️
fact
Paris, 1920, outdoor cafe, music playing- wow, just wow !
I was just dreaming of that before reading your comment.
Don't forget sexism
Frances Van Siclen france didnt exist before the 40s..
Basiic † what are you on? France was established in 1789!
the sadness of all your male relatives and friends having died in WW1, those were really good times.
I lived in Paris from 2000 to 2002, and learnt French quickly by listening to these songs and the musical Notre Dame de Paris. And having a French boyfriend came in pretty handy too!
hello
Im not even french... even my relatives didnt travel in france... but i just love french classical musics😍 it makes me calm
...this isn't classical. It's from the early 1900s
@@hello-xm5il sornaagad 😂.. my bad, i just adore it sooo much
It's good for the soul
My old soul is feeling really nostalgic.
Your comment made me well up. I always have a spot spot for old eras.. feels like I don't really belong in this century
Me: * has no understanding of French *
Also Me: * pretends to know the words and sings them loudly *
No joke I can't say a sentence in French, but I think my French accent is quite good and it'd be perfect with like a year of practice
I'm french so I do the same with English ;)
ISN´T IT FUN?!!! HEHE I started learning french that way rs!
*confidenly mumbles in cursive*
That's me
Feels like I had lived someone's life before, this always gives me that feeling of nostalgia
yeah, me too, it's crazy
Probably a previous life...
honestly, and the worst thing is that the feeling is so odd that you can't tell if it was real or a dream..
It does have an "other world" sound....

Maybe in another life?
damn dude
OMG SAME
For me it’s always felt so familiar in a way like I’ve heard it all my life but I’m not French so I’m thinking past life.
This kind of music makes me nostalgic even if I wasn't alive during those times 😂 maybe a past life who knows
Same xD
Mariana I feel the same way and then I start crying of mixed feelings 😂🤔
the best is to walk in the old streets of Paris and listening this.. alone of course . you can feel this old time
For me i think it has something to do with Disney movies.
I get nostalgic with every era idk I love history 🤷🏼♀️
when it started with la vie en rose, I knew this was going to be beautiful
French music in this area was so beatifull. Wish we where their at that time. So lovely
I'm crying because my french grandma knows all the lyrics to la vie en rose and she remembers her old days in france. While she listens to it, she slightly cries and tells stories about her father knowing German so they didnt get killed by the nazis.
My grandparents and 2 daughters didn't speak German. They survived. It was not a required qualification for who lived or or who died.
@@pourquoipas2673 It probably helped though.

just return before the Germans invade..
Kaycie Paige I was imagining the same thing ! I wish I could live a life in peace in Pairs on 1940-1960s ✨
Go to Paris if you have never been. Walking along the streets is on the left bank is an experience that everyone should have.

Beautiful nostalgia.

I'd have to agree with you, Turtle. Guess it's just one of those things, huh?
Same India , didnt understand the lyrics but this all music is so amazing.
Great selection! I am a 'newly minted' Frenchman (formerly British)! LIved here for almost thirty years, and married to a French Parisienne I met in Australia 40 years ago. Lived in Paris and did the whole Bohemian bit, then travelled, and also moved around France including the Lot, Burgundy and now finally settled in the Correze. Lived the dream, listened to the music and now adopted the whole thing! How lucky can one man be?
Lucky man indeed!

goals, for sure
@0 That's Actually a Unisex name where I come from. My great grandfather on my mothers' side was named Angelica Mathius Goodman
Cool, I just finished learning French fluently, now I can understand what the music translates to. Edith Piaf is the reason I wanted to learn french when I was 12, it got me this far, and I'm proud if that.
a noter quand meme que plus personne ne parle comme ça aujourd'hui
Bonjour
My mom was sick a few years ago, she stressed herself out into catching pneumonia. She recovered, but at the time I had picked up my omi (German grandmother) and we were going to visit my mom in the hospital. I was actually listening to the Louis Armstrong cover of La Vie En Rose, and my grandmother was humming and wordlessly singing along to it. A year or so later, my grandmother passed away due to complications with lung cancer. But I think of her every time I hear that song, no matter who sings it or in what language.
I am studying French...Love to France from Russia ❤🇷🇺
Bonne chance ^^
Привет. Любовь в Руся
(From France. Hope it makes sense ^^')
Et j'étudie le russe ;) La bise depuis la France ! ^^
love russia from france !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So many great voices here. For me there's always something special about the pre-war French singers.
I know right. These songs remind me of the times I used to go to my grandma's. She always had her radio on and these kind of songs played. Now she's gone, so that feeling has gone with her.
And yes I'm french. :D
Vyal _ I'm American and while I've heard this style of music before I've never heard of any of these songs or artists before. Very unique snd very beautiful! Cette musique est très belle!! It lives on even in foreign countries in the 21st century!

Mary Katherine that sounds like a sweet love story :"
lucky you ^^
We french are everywhere :D
I'm writing a novel that takes place in Europe in the fall of 1938. This is perfect background music. The first third of the novel, I listened to a lot of German and Italian march music--really needed a break.

@@crazymangoz9583 , it's called Speerland.

i hope you're doing well. breakups hurt, even when u know it is the right thing to do. just remember that whatever is meant to stay in your life won't be so difficult. i hope for better days for you :)
@@simritrandhawa thank you so much 🙏 means a lot
hi there how are you?
What happened my man?
Hopefully you’re still doing fine.
...and that my son, is how I met the most beautiful woman in the world, your mother😊
I wish I got to see her...she sounds like the best mom in the world!
She might not be here with us, but somewhere up in the sky, she’s smiling down on us wishing you a happy birthday!
These songs aged like fine wine.
Imagine, as you are walking trough Paris in the late evening you stop to listen to one of the bands playing in the restauraunt nearby. You decide to walk inside, maybe buy a cup of tea and sit down for a second.
You are here, sipping the hot drink your whole body is slowly melting due to the romantic music. In the middle of your fouvrite song a man appears next to your little table and holds out a hand "m'am, would you like to have a dance with me?"
I want to go to France 🥺 specifically Paris bc it’s the “city of love” right. America just boring compared to any other country especially France
wow..... this is just amazing
KAYI every city has scammers
@@kayi8098 France is not Nigeria.
Would I dance, oh absolutely. Should be done more often. What a beautiful thing to do.
As a french i feel a nostalgia for a time i never experienced.
I would like to time travel and see all this artists sing in the old Paris
Ce que je donnerais pour vivre dans le Paris des années 50, surtout quand je vois comment la ville se dégrade.
Je me rappelle encore à quel point j'aimais aller au Champs-Élysées avec mes parents quand j'étais petite mais maintenant c'est vraiment plus la même ambiance et c'est dommage
Piaf remains an icon that I heard for the first time in the early '50s. I will never forget 'Mon légionnaire' the first song she performed that night.
A few years later, I had the 'honor' of dining with her and a few French notables. I have to say she was the most disagreable person I ever met. Notwithstanding, I never stopped listening to her incredible art.
Il paraît qu'elle était mal élévée🤥
@@jerryrobertson4422 Et comment! ! ! Et désagréable! mais son art la sauvait.

DAM GURL!
Ta dit quoi 😂
These songs make me remember of my great grandparents who would listen to old music and jazz. Hearing music like this gives you nostalgia you never had. Like being a 2000s kid but getting nostalgia from smashing pumpkins 1979
As a child I've been in Paris in the 1950s. And i vividly remember most of these chansons. The smell of good coffee is in my nose, as well as the flavor of fresh baguette.
I love French culture the food the country sometimes I wish I was brought up in France but you can’t have everything so I listen to a lot of music in French especially jazz I have visited Paris but only for 3 days and I loved it so much at the time my son was 15 and we brought a little souvenir the Eiffel Tower he still has it in his bedroom as a reminder. What great memories we had I hope we will visit next time soon
I find lots of people listening this sadly, I can't meet people who love's songs like this.
They just love pop songs..
Hallo Wolfgang..
Ludwig van Beethoven lol
You know the wrong people;-)
Me too
I'm listening this music, enjoying and dreaming... but all my city sounds and move with reggaeton around the streets.. it's horrible...
I cry because I know I will never get live a life I have loved and will never get to experience...
same...music like this makes me feel....idk, such a strange feeling. like as if I have heard it before and long for it and for an era I will never experience, yet somehow feel like I have. so strange
You shall
@@paulwalker853 yes, they shall
Same like i was born in the wrong time, that i was so late to experience the wonderful things like before.
a life changing revelation for you, my sweet:
if you sit and imagine something so hard, so detailed and with such passion...
...in the years to come, you won't remember if you imagined it or experienced it
I'm 16 years old and I love jazz songs like these
I am overwhelmed with emotion every time I hear Charles Trenet sing "La Mer"
I have loved “La Vie En Rose” since I watched Sabrina (1954) Audrey Hepburn & Humphrey Bogart were lovely...20 years later and I still watch it once a week ❤️
Exactly.....Sabrina!!
Same here!
L’histoire de ma vie 🥰
SABRINA IS SO GOOD
I'm Asian ( Vietnam ) but I'm in love with this music ..
I'm Mexican and love it too. The beauty of music is people from all over the world can enjoy it.
Sanasana CDR same, girl!! Absolutely love hearing this. Especially on a Sunday morning

May Be anh yêu em
I found this mix during finals, and instantly fell in love with it. Then TH-cam briefly removed it from US audiences for whatever reason. I was so upset, but I kept it on my studying playlist in hopes it would be returned. So glad it did and that I get to continue basking in this gem on the internet :)
Love this! Thanks so much for your great feedback ... for your support of our label, along with your appreciation of this wonderful vintage music.
Does this music brings you memories of an era and a place u weren't born in???
Or its just me 🥺
you're not alone
#16 makes me feel like I'm slow dancing by the Eiffel Tower with my crush 💕💕😚
Yes - Moni k - hi
I am a year late to this comment. I am ethnically French but my Great Grandparents emigrated to the US somewhere in the 1910's or 1920's. I am guessing it was either because of World War 1, or the political instability in France at the time. I don't know it just captivates me, like finding a shining light in a void of darkness. It makes me feel lost.
hi
i am using this as my background music while studying.
makes me more motivated to study well and be successful so i can visit Paris someday and experience all these stories in the comment section.
If you are studying then how did you type this
Sadly, I couldn't study and listen to music at the same time. My brother could, however, and I envied him that ability.
@@Thomassonable Vast swathes of the UK are also now shit holes. No go areas for the indigenous, non muslim, population.
this is insane! cause girl SAME
@@Thomassonable same here !!
This song gives me strange feeling like i lived in France from my past life. Im homesick to a place I have never been. I want to go to France now!😪
You re welcome.
These are the musics that the old french like me listen to.
The new generation more less.
Come to France.
Where are you from?
@@fredericbenoit3210 pvd
la vie is so beautiful omg
Sending good energy and love to whoever sees this ❤️❤️
I’m not an emotional person at all BUT THIS MAKES ME EXTREMELY HOMESICK IT MAKES ME CRY. I’m not French but I sometimes wonder if I was in my past life.
I know how you feel. Any antique music. I enjoy Polish music also.. Two countries whose fabric of life was ripped from them by Adolph.
@@michaelwiebers9656 ohh, Polish music
I have absolutely no clue what is being said but it is such a beautiful language to just listen to especially when it comes to music. Hope I can learn French someday
Just do, you will enrich yourself. Courage!
Commencez maintenant,Monsieur, il vaut mieux commencer à apprendre une langue le pus tôt possible: plus l'on vieillit, plus c'est difficile...Et, moi qui suis Française, je vous le dit: pour nous, le Français est presque évident, du moins si on le parle correctement, mais les doutes nous assaillent bien vite. Pour des étrangers, la langue Française est une horreur, mais il ne faut pas se décourager. Pensez que son orthographe a été fixée au Moyen-âge et vous comprendrez mieux les écritures qui peuvent sembler étranges.
(Start learning it now: the more you get older, the more difficult it is to learn a language. As a French myself, I can tell you this language is a nightmare for all who try to learn it, because the orthography (hope it's an english word) was decided during the middle ages, and because we think it's obvious, we can not explain it very well. Keep working and you will master it one day.)
Good luck!
Just finished watching the movie, Hugo...sigh...had to listen to more French music.
My mother used to play Piaf when I was little. She would always look a little wistful, as if remembering a time and place she would never tell me about. She passed this June, and I will never know where and when this music sent her.
Went to Paris in 2018....I lived for the first time for 15 days after 46 years...
I don't understand french, but the music is so good...nostalgic... melancholic... perfect for a saturday winter lazy afternoon, with a cup of tea...lying carelessly on an armchair and recalling your childhood memories...
God bless the memories
Mukul Amen!
I wish I could go back and tell these artists that they’re music is still listened to almost a century later
I listen to this when I am extremely anxious and stressed out. I never thought 1930s french music, expecially Edith Piaf, would put me under such a spell. 5 years ago I would've teased myself or somebody if they listened to this.
Now I think I understand. There is no word to describe this, but I understand...
Exactly i how I feel ❤️✨
Ah yes, the days when I danced with my friends in a French bar listening to these songs
That is How I Met Your Mother, everyone
Uhhhhhhh having coffee in the terrace while listening to old french music. Just perfect.
Listening to this whilst I shave in the morning makes me feel extra classy.
@@hannahvogel222 Bit presumptuous to assume a " sir ". 😁😁😁
also put a shot of Cheminaud Brandy in your coffee
andeace23 I love your comment, made me laugh so hard. 😁😁😂🤣
La Vie En Rose is the song you hear when you're leaving your childhood home after 18 years. Really sad that the time has flown by but hopeful for the new chapter you're opening in your life.
April, 2020. The world as never seen. The covid19 pandemic has forced everyone to stay at home. Some are getting crazy, i'm listening to this beautiful song. Dont know when this will stop, but I prefer to just dont think about it and just listen to this and imagine like almost all of you here, drinking a glass of wine with my love in france. Love you all! Kisses from Brazil 🇧🇷
This makes me so sad and nostalgic. I wish I lived in France during this time. But I also wish I was alive in America around the 50s-60s. And the 70s,80s,90s, and I wish I could’ve been a teen in the early 2000s. God I hate everything nowadays.
So you wish you lived in France during the Great Depression, subsequent Nazi occupation, and the Holocaust?
@@garymarkow7005 I think she/he has some dreams ? Like good ideas about these times thanks to the music, and maybe styles
The war was terrible but not the music, the music make us dream and we want to be born in our .... Dreams ?
Same ! 30s 50s 70s 90s musics and styles are so..... Perfect, we can't return to these days so what can we do right now, listen to music , that's good 😊
@@ccasque that's fair :)
And I mean we've got some pretty good music now and quite a bit that stylistically is like music from those eras (grunge/punk didn't really die, 80s music is back around in the form of bedroom pop bands like Wallows, you've got bands like Dr Dog that do 60s-70s-esque rock, and surf punk bands that do 50s sounding rock like the Yetis or Summer Salt)
Be glad you were born now when you get to enjoy all types of music, you don't have to deal with the horrible wars and diseases of that time and not to mention all the other societal problems that occurred then. Not only do you get to enjoy the music, but you also have it at your fingertips for free none the less. Be happy that you are privileged to live in the time you live in.
Beautiful music ever. This is makes me feel elegant, and comfy. I badly wanna go paris of 1920s..😫
@OG OZ BORN So has the rest of the world.
@OG OZ BORN ikr it just flipped its style into a worse one but it's still nice!!!!
Totally! Moi aussi! I love the olden days to mention in Paris
Same
Be glad you can listen to this music anytime on your phone.
Am a Canadian Indian...but i love to play this old french song when i wakeup n morning..😘😘
I went to France last year. Ever since then, I've been obsessed with French (both culture and language). Can't wait to go back.
you are welcom
Vive la France! You have a beautiful culture.
Sigh I remember earlier this year everyday, I would wake up at 5 am and then at 6, I would make coffee listening to this as the morning sun rose, the house was always quiet and I was always alone but that’s how I liked it. So pretty
Listen to a French songs, I feel like those music are poping poping everywhere, it's so fun to hear them
Believe it or not, i'm 13 and i love this unlike all the other teenagers. This is real music❤
Classical music never loses popularity. Why should this?
I bet we have been all drinking champagne in a bar listening to this music :-) La vie est belle :-)
When Paris was Paris, and France was still so very alive.......
Paris is no longer the dream city where I had the chance to live in the 1960's. Years later, when I went back, I, sadly enough, no longer found the 2 old ladies with their cat looking from the window of their little 3 table-restaurant at Rue Garancière, Paris 6ème!
True.
it still is, you guys are romanticising this way to much.
@@user-fr9vv7rg4k Paris is dying before our eyes.
Yes! Perfect 1940 german France 😍😍
This reminds me of waking up, sunlight streaming through your curtains, and opening your window to a view of the Eiffel Tower lit up by the early morning sun, and below you is a cobblestoned street full of shops and vendors. You inhale the scent of fresh spring flowers, coffee, and lemon. You gaze down at the bustling road beneath you and think how lucky you are to live in this city.
I always play this video for my grandpa and each time it draws a smile on my face how he knows all the lyrics to the songs and how happily he sings them.
At the end he always ask when are we going back to the little town in France that he grew up at ❤️
That’s so heart warming. God bless you guys I hope you and your Grandfather can return to France 🇫🇷 one day
I don't speak french, and I'm actually a big fan of rock music, but this is my 'guilty pleasure' if you can call it like that
Isn't it sad that people have to conform. You should be able to enjoy any music openly. Remember this music is before and during WWII.
@@michaelwiebers9656 shit, it's a shame people don't explore out of (usually) comformity, there's so, SO much good, yet extremely different stuff out there.
Happy for you enjoying this. People are still playing this music. Why not check out beautiful Tatiana Eva Marie and Avalon Jazz (based in US-believe it or not). I`m sure that you will enjoy/
jakestilson1947
Have no idea where to find this.
Easy Michael. I`m useless on computers but you will find them all on wonderful TH-cam. Just type in artist`s name, Song title , whatever and they will do the rest. Try Josephine Baker for a treat or Charles Trenet. Bonne chance.
What I love about those types of songs is not only the good cheering music, but their lighthearted lyrics on the everyday little things. Why people are not doing this anymore?
technology
because times are always changing. get used to it.
Be the change you want to see. Why not try your hand at writing some songs with a similar feel?
Sophia Schier-Hanson I actually started :) I sing in a gospel choir (not necessarily for the religious side, but for the joy it brings me) and started writing some songs. ☺️
Merci pour ce moment nostalgique et reposant.
On entendait encore certaines de ces chansons à la radio dans les années 60, ça me rappelle mon enfance.
C 'est vrai , je me souviens bien de cela ,on écoutait toutes les époques .... Belle soirée .
