Your emotion touches me enormously, thank you for promoting singers like J. Brel, who wrote such admirable songs. The French language gives it even more depth. No need for fireworks, computers, backing singers or a hundred people on stage. Just alone with a microphone and then, the emotion, the life..........Thanks again to you.
Brel est unique. On ne sait pourquoi, cet homme est arrivé à tutoyer l'âme humaine comme personne. On pleure parce que c'est beau de toucher à ce point juste. Le meilleur, pour toujours
Brel is my favorite singer, as a french i understand the lyrics and I really appreciate the fact that even people who don't understand are still touched. Because, God, I think the world miss so much him
I'm a grown up man, this song makes me cry everytime I listen to it too. It's just way, way too real man. Plus it hits even harder when you speak French.
This is an absolutely natural reaction to Brel. He is the only singer who's able to make me cry. And believe me, it's even worse when you speak French...
He was a good singer. He was an exceptional writer. One of the best interprets to ever walk this Earth. It doesn't always have to be about the notes you hit.
Jacques Brel, de la poésie pure et la langue française s'y prete si bien. Bravo pour votre réaction pleine d'émotivité comme l'est la chanson. Comme presque pour toutes ses chansons, Jacques Brel l'interprete de toute son ame.
Bonjour à vous deux. Je suis extrêmement ému et touché par votre réaction. Elle montre toute votre sensibilité et votre émotion. Merci à vous, et merci à Jacques.🙏 Hello to both of you. I am extremely moved and touched by your reaction. It shows all your sensitivity and emotion. Thank you, and thank you to Jacques.🙏
Je comprends vos larmes sur un passé non vécu. Mais ça me rappelle des moments de vie. Alors oui je suis triste d'avoir perdu mes grands parents, mais je suis encore plus heureux de les avoir connu. Je pense toujours à eux. Je les aime encore.
What a beautiful and emotional reaction ,I know all the songs of the great Jacques Brel by heart and even i cry each time😪. He is the greatest songwriter of all time to me !❤
There are French songs that are pure masterpieces in terms of lyrics. It’s not about vocal performance (the French don’t care about who can sing the loudest or hold the highest note the longest); we are very focused on the artist who will interpret a song with very deep lyrics, and this is where the singer must search deep within to deliver a performance that does justice to the song's words. Among these songs, I would mention: "Mon Vieux" (Daniel Guichard), almost all of Brel's great songs, "Avec le temps," "Je suis malade," "Requiem pour un fou," "Comme ils disent." etc
How Brel is a fantastic poet with Brassens and Ferrat, they are both of three my favorite old french singers.... Thank you so much, dear you tube friend, to have react to this so beautiful song!!!!!❤❤
Hey, you two. Now I feel almost guilty for making you sad and cry. But I am also ever so touched by how Brel's delivery made you understand the way he saw things. Yes, he is brutally honest in his work and maybe we do well to follow his example, but what reconciles me with that bitter truth is how he delivers his words, with such empathy, such insight, such emotion, almost telling you, yes, it is hard, but it will all be ok in the end. His almost loving description of old people gets me every time and makes me a little less afraid of what is surely to come. You asked how he could know when he himself died young. Jacques Brel had an insight and interest in all things to do with life. And he had a unique way painting those pictures for us. They could be sad, funny, joyful, ridiculous, derisive, anything you like. And like in this song at the end he took care always to include himself in his storytelling. I would recommend to follow his musical legacy, cause as Andre said, nobody does today what he did back then. He is and always will be one of the greatest musical poets.
Ned from Spain here to say you guys are so lovely and this was a particularly honest and deep reaction. What you say is true for a lot of people as they reach the end of their lives but some can have such vitality even when it's more difficult to do the simplest things. I hope I can continue to enjoy life up to the last moment. Jacques Brel was such an incredible poetic force giving attention to things that are really important and need to be said. A rare artist. Thank you and a long happy life to you both.
Cette chanson, écrite il y a 61 ans, me fait toujours pleurer. Jacques Brel n'interprète pas ses chansons, il les vit. Il y a malheureusement très peu de vidéos de lui...
thanks for your reactions, i(-'m from brussels lke him, and you can believe,that everyrime wgen i listen this song, like some oyhrtd thzt i singrf, i can feel and drunk every word that he say, certainly with this song, cere he tellong so good the truth of the life ftom our elders, he didn"t had this chance to hear the zulver clock because he past away ro early, and ths song is the song that we listen un te church when someone will past away, we can only cry more when we have to say fir the lasst timr goodbye, so you can umagine the feelings that hrabs everyone, it"s a beautifull last goodbye,not only thr dong and the word but he ytanslate perfecly the emotions and so we will try ro nrvrt let our elders alone, and today i don"t have any elders anymore since my father past away in 2023, so today i know that the elder in my family, i'ts me and my ftaternty, so sometimes i can ear this siver clock that telling me, you're next i will waiting for you, i'm not so old and was for the firstime great father this month, i k,ow one think, the time never wull stop and i abused everyrime drom each second, because one second later, u know that this one will never come back, he sent a meffage fot everone, ^mease never forger your elders because without them, you can be there to kuqrzn this universal song, thanks for your tractions, you were speakless and no words were needed to see and feeled tour reactions, only to watchinf you say"s more than words, again and again, thanks to share your reactions
I haven t lessoned to that song for at least ,40 years(I was always thinking of my grandparents and here we are getting there slowly!..with few tears.brel did some funny fab songs tooles bonbons,la chanson de Jackie...it will cheer you up.and my favourite brel song les vieux amants
Brel was what we call in italian a "cantastorie" because all his songs are little life stories that are sung and incapsulated sans sucre, Un chansonier indimenticable.
I'm Belgian just like Jacques Brel, he's a national icon as you can imagine. One of my absolute favorite song from him, although it's too difficult to pick one. "Fernand" is probably the most beautiful text he's written. I don't know if there's a subtitled video out there I highly recommend it.
J'avais écouté cette chanson il y a bien longtemps et pensé à mes grands-parents et à mes parents, et puis j'ai préféré l'oublier. Et maintenant non seulement je repense à eux, mais aussi à moi, la pendule d'argent continue d'osciller... et je pleure.
Hello, Jacques brel est vraiment un chanteur et artiste exceptionnel et unique . Écouter les bourgeois et aussi c'est gens la , 2 chansons exceptionnelle
Brel was an extremely talented observant of his era and it’s people and he out in words and musical notes what he saw ….then delivered it to you as raw as it gets.
Me sorprendió y conmovió mucho verlos llorar al escuchar una canción deJacques Brel. Yo también he llorado a fondo, sufrido, reído y pensado mucho gracias al gran Jacques. Poeta soberbio y artista fuera de norma. Bienvenidos al club. Saludos desde México.
It’s a very beautiful song. I think it reconciles us with the passing of time because it expresses what’s to come. By facing reality with such tenderness, empathy and love, it helps us cope. Hugs to you guys. I can see it really touched you.
Brel is a poet, he makes you visualize and pictures the lyrics... All of his songs are passionnate.. You should react to "Ces gens là" : story of "thoses people" described by a valet in a nobility house...
Listen to "AMSTERDAM", one of the greatest songs ever written! It encapsulates life (and obviously listen "Ne me quitte pas" his most well known song). One of the best songwriters ever...
And.. the last line is : "That waits.. for.. *us*" In the end it not about them. Les vieux. That silver clock waits for us. All of us. Great reaction. Do more Brel, if you can!
Tellement de larmes coulent de mes yeux. Merci l'équipe pour ce partage de beauté Je vous propose 'La Solitude '' l'aigle noir ' de la merveilleuse Barbara ( auteur compositeur) ''Avec le temps ''de Ferré
chaque mot amène une métaphore, chaque phrase est façonnée comme une oeuvre d'art et je ne parle même pas de la qualité de son interprétation et de la composition de ses musiques.
Here are two less known songs of Brel with subtitles : th-cam.com/video/den8F4cwZ4I/w-d-xo.htmlsi=cCj4Ub3leYjxNnl2 th-cam.com/video/dFsfUZda3j0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=hThLQ66q9dbwQleD
Bonjour à vous de France vous êtes tous les deux tellement touchant Brel est un chanteur merveilleux j'adore Amsterdam cette chanson il l'a interprété avec beaucoup d'émotions je vous souhaite une bonne journée prenez soin de vous
hello , i learned this song in elementary school, a very long time ago, today i better understand the scope of this song , even if i have always found it beautiful
Hello from South France, Andrei & Dominika, 🌴🌞 If you want to see his best acting performance in a song, try "Ces gens-là" (Those people). There's a video in live concert with the English subtitles. He interprets in this song all the members of a weird provincial family. You'll be amazed. Try also: "Mathilde" (a French girl first name - a man who forgets all his promises and oaths as soon as the woman who left him returns to the village), "Vésoul" (The name of a French town - a man who protests his wife's decisions in vain, but lets himself be led by her), "La chanson de Jacky" (The Jacky's song - a man who, despite all his successes, would sacrifice them without a shadow of hesitation to regain his youth), "Jef" (the diminutive of Joseph in French - a man who desperately tries to lift his old friend who has become a drunkard, obese, and who gives in to depression), "Le moribond" (The dying man - a man about to die settles his scores with his loved ones before asking them to laugh and have fun on the day of his funeral), "Quand on a que l'amour" (When we just have love - Love can overcome all obstacles) "Amsterdam" (Famous Netherlands town - the wanderings of a man in the agitated night of Amsterdam, cuckolded by the woman he loves), etc. So many incredible songs and sick interpretations in his repertoire. We miss him in France. And there are so many gems in the French repertoire you must explore. Peace, folks. ☮👈😎
I am so moved (to tears) to witness this/your deep emotion that causes this unheard song, despite the ocean that separates the French language and the Anglo-Saxon world. This text is so universal that it will affect anyone, anywhere. We find the same power in: "Ne me quitte pas" (dont leave me) or "Quand maman reviendra" (When mom comes back) other jewels of J.Brel. Great thank you, your blades have made mine flow, here near Paris... You can so listen "Mon vieux" (My old dad) de Daniel Guichard, other deeply and incredible french song ...
HIs songs are visual poetry. I listen hundreds of times and never get tired of them. One of my favorites is "Le Plat Pays". Also, "Amsterdam". The visuals are so moving! I hope maybe you will do one of those too?
Im french, and i had a russian friend, one day he asked me to teach him a poetic sentence in french that he could tell to a girl, but a beautiful sentence. At this point i had read Hugo, Dumas, Camus and others but the only thing that came to my mind was Jacques Brel
That's Jacques Brel a singer and the poet, that first of all. He wrote over 100 poems, all songs ? I don't know. But he is a one of. He can touch you with one line. He dares to go deep in his sentiments. His or ours ? That's how he touches us.
Ecouter Brel c'est écouter de la poésie en musique, voir Brel c'est voir un acteur sur scène. En France les enfants apprennent du Brel comme ils apprennent du Rimbaud ou du Verlaine. Brel fait vivre ses chansons. Ne me quitte pas, les vieux et tant d'autres...vous ne les écoutez pas vous les vivez
Cette chanson, comme toute de celle de Brel, sont soit de la tristesse, ou de la dérision, et oui, on a pleuré beaucoup, qui n'a pas perdu un être cher
I remember going to see the revue "Jacques Brel is Alive and Well and Living in Paris" in the 1960s in Montreal. It was very popular as was Jacques Brel. His music influenced many chansonniers in Quebec, like Felix Leclerc, Jean-Pierre Ferland and Gilles Vigneault. Here is a link to the original Off-Broadway recording (it's a playlist...22 Brel songs, 4 singers): th-cam.com/play/PLs9_glrNHomX4Jd2hcBOHiguN30W7snRv.html&si=0W-QgoEkqEYsxpeI
Hey, Jacques, I'm old (old - ish -- 73), and I think you do not speak for me in this song. Maybe in a decade? I'll see. Nice performance, though, and powerful lyrics. And as usual, Andrei and Dominika, love your reactions.
For me (I'm bregian french speaking) , it's the "old popular belgian spririt", the mix of drama and joy. Maybe you can hear "ces gens là" or "Amsterdam"... As ou says, at the end he says : "qui NOUS attends". He knows thats our end, maybe yes maybe no. By the way, most of us dont take time to push our elders to speek about the life they life. They have so many thinks to say to us. Personally I ask my father to write the book of his live and we talk sometimes about that... ...
Vers good reaction , i propose to to you : " la chanson des vieux amants" de M. Jacques Brel. One of his greateast song. Pascal of France . Thanks for your vidéos.

I also cry on 'mon vieux' by Daniel Guichard...et 'je suis malade' when sung by Lara Fabian...
c'est vrai!.
He was a good singer.
He was an exceptional writer.
One of the best interprets to ever walk this Earth. It doesn't always have to be about the notes you hit.

it emphazises the absolute necessity of fulfilling one's life to the fullest,there is something positive in all that
Nobel price song for Jacques Brel my friends
Llorar con Brel es señal de vida auténtica. Gracias. Un abrazo desde Chile.
A mediocre student turned out to be one of the most brilliant French speaking singer/songwriters and performers ever. A legend.
Hey, you two. Now I feel almost guilty for making you sad and cry. But I am also ever so touched by how Brel's delivery made you understand the way he saw things.

Who know after...
Godspeed my man. Bless you.

A hard fact we all must face. It's the price we pay for living. "Waiter, ...Check, please."👴 ☮💜🎶
Listen to "AMSTERDAM", one of the greatest songs ever written! It encapsulates life (and obviously listen "Ne me quitte pas" his most well known song). One of the best songwriters ever...

Hello from South France, Andrei & Dominika, 🌴🌞
If you want to see his best acting performance in a song, try "Ces gens-là" (Those people). There's a video in live concert with the English subtitles. He interprets in this song all the members of a weird provincial family. You'll be amazed.
Try also:
"Mathilde" (a French girl first name - a man who forgets all his promises and oaths as soon as the woman who left him returns to the village),
"Vésoul" (The name of a French town - a man who protests his wife's decisions in vain, but lets himself be led by her),
"La chanson de Jacky" (The Jacky's song - a man who, despite all his successes, would sacrifice them without a shadow of hesitation to regain his youth),
"Jef" (the diminutive of Joseph in French - a man who desperately tries to lift his old friend who has become a drunkard, obese, and who gives in to depression),
"Le moribond" (The dying man - a man about to die settles his scores with his loved ones before asking them to laugh and have fun on the day of his funeral),
"Quand on a que l'amour" (When we just have love - Love can overcome all obstacles)
"Amsterdam" (Famous Netherlands town - the wanderings of a man in the agitated night of Amsterdam, cuckolded by the woman he loves), etc.
So many incredible songs and sick interpretations in his repertoire. We miss him in France.
And there are so many gems in the French repertoire you must explore.
Peace, folks. ☮👈😎
I am so moved (to tears) to witness this/your deep emotion that causes this unheard song, despite the ocean that separates the French language and the Anglo-Saxon world. This text is so universal that it will affect anyone, anywhere. We find the same power in: "Ne me quitte pas" (dont leave me) or "Quand maman reviendra" (When mom comes back) other jewels of J.Brel. Great thank you, your blades have made mine flow, here near Paris... You can so listen "Mon vieux" (My old dad) de Daniel Guichard, other deeply and incredible french song ...
HIs songs are visual poetry. I listen hundreds of times and never get tired of them. One of my favorites is "Le Plat Pays". Also, "Amsterdam". The visuals are so moving! I hope maybe you will do one of those too?
During the whole song, we listen the silver clock waiting us.
Un vrai poète, mais on en a d autres en France.merci pour vos vidéos
He sang a song called Amsterdam. I haven't heard that version but, I've heard a cover by David Bowie which I thought was brilliant !
Lovely, thanks 👍
Thanks, icon!
Now you see where Lara Fabian learned how to touch your soul .
il chantait la vie comme elle est comme le poete qu'il était
I cried😢such a sad song but so true!
Im french, and i had a russian friend, one day he asked me to teach him a poetic sentence in french that he could tell to a girl, but a beautiful sentence. At this point i had read Hugo, Dumas, Camus and others but the only thing that came to my mind was Jacques Brel
I cried exactly at the same time 😥
i highly recommend "ne me quitte pas". heartbreakingly gorgeous.
So good! We both know it! 💚
That's Jacques Brel a singer and the poet, that first of all. He wrote over 100 poems, all songs ? I don't know. But he is a one of. He can touch you with one line. He dares to go deep in his sentiments. His or ours ? That's how he touches us.
Belgium 🇧🇪🇧🇪🇧🇪🇧🇪🇧🇪
♥️♥️♥️♥️🎶🎵🎼🎶🎵🎼🎶
A great Belgian - Stef from Belgium. "Ne Me Quite pas" is still my top favorite by him
I love Brel.
Ecouter Brel c'est écouter de la poésie en musique, voir Brel c'est voir un acteur sur scène. En France les enfants apprennent du Brel comme ils apprennent du Rimbaud ou du Verlaine. Brel fait vivre ses chansons. Ne me quitte pas, les vieux et tant d'autres...vous ne les écoutez pas vous les vivez
Hello from Belgium 🇧🇪🤗
Wonderful reaction to a master of French song.
Not really French because Brel is Belgian and spoke flemish (belgian dutch) as well
Brel me faz chorar num Rio de Janeiro ensolarado , minha mãe me ensinou a aprecia-lo, hoje eu canto a cabeceira da cama dela.
Cette chanson, comme toute de celle de Brel, sont soit de la tristesse, ou de la dérision, et oui, on a pleuré beaucoup, qui n'a pas perdu un être cher
It's been decades since i heard that song. It is interesting how the meaning of the song to me is still the same and so different at the same time.
Brel is always magnificent
Brel was a Giant! Another giant is the russian singer Vladimir Vysotsky
Orly il faut l écouter !
I remember going to see the revue "Jacques Brel is Alive and Well and Living in Paris" in the 1960s in Montreal. It was very popular as was Jacques Brel. His music influenced many chansonniers in Quebec, like Felix Leclerc, Jean-Pierre Ferland and Gilles Vigneault.

Je vous vois très ému. C'est un grand monsieur qui nous a quitté et que je regrette beaucoup. Mais ses chansons restent et c'est bien.
BREL et le monstre de la chanson française il était belge. des chanteurs comme (brel , aznavour , brassens , reggiani léo ferrer) .
Hey, Jacques, I'm old (old - ish -- 73), and I think you do not speak for me in this song. Maybe in a decade? I'll see.
Nice performance, though, and powerful lyrics. And as usual, Andrei and Dominika, love your reactions.
For me (I'm bregian french speaking) , it's the "old popular belgian spririt", the mix of drama and joy. Maybe you can hear "ces gens là" or "Amsterdam"... As ou says, at the end he says : "qui NOUS attends". He knows thats our end, maybe yes maybe no. By the way, most of us dont take time to push our elders to speek about the life they life. They have so many thinks to say to us. Personally I ask my father to write the book of his live and we talk sometimes about that...

Vers good reaction , i propose to to you : " la chanson des vieux amants" de M. Jacques Brel. One of his greateast song. Pascal of France . Thanks for your vidéos.
Getting old was Brel's biggest fear. "Mourir, la belle affaire, mais vieillir !"
Je pleure en écoutant certaines chansons de Brel ou de Lara Fabian , ne te sent pas seul l'ami ! Aucune honte d'être humain !
another very beautiful song : Daniel Guichard "mon vieux"

Brel c'est la poésie, il décortique nos pensées et les expose.
As the song dates from the '60ties, he sings about the old people he saw in the '50ties or before, not about the older people we know nowadays...
Je trouve cette chanson toujours d’actualité même si les « vieux » de maintenant n’ont peut être plus de pendule d’argent.
You should check Ces gens là by Brel. A true masterpiece
