The Ruth mentioned in the song was JJG's mother, she was a German Jewish woman born in Munich. One day he found a picture of a little girl in a family album. Her name was not known, but she was a friend of his mother's.
I've known this song since it was released, in 1982 , I was 8 years old. I fell in love with Jean-Jacques Goldman watching him singing this song on TV. I know it by heart, but it still moves me each time, 42 years later. And seeing your emotion is even more overwhelming. Thank you for making his music and lyrics travel through space and time, as he retired in 2016 and doesn't do it himself anymore.
This song is about the holocaust crimes. He speaks about a little jewish girl, a little angel, who was unfortunate to live, in Poland I believe, when it was invaded and was killed by the nazis. A very moving song, now a classic of french music. Jean-Jacques is the god of songwriting in France (for himself or for others such as Johnny Hallyday, Céline Dion). The best songs of Celine have been written by JJG. I largely prefer the songs he wrote for her than her english catalog. Lara Fabian, one of our common favorites, made a cover of Comme toi btw.
I agree. Nevertheless, I think Lara Fabian's cover of "Comme toi" is less emotional than the original JJG version, because it lacks simplicity and she overplays a little. I think that the best interpretation of "Comme toi" except the JJG one, is the one from Amel Bent here : th-cam.com/video/wMr6W1E6BJU/w-d-xo.html
When i was young i listened to this song on the radio not paying attention to the lyrics. But when you know the story behind, it is really heartwrenching. I heard the song was written based on the blurry picture of one of her distant relative, a girl deported during WWII. Merci pour ce commentaire. Bonne soirée, bonne journée,
This one is about the holocaust. There was a wonderful french film done after this song called her name was Sarah with Kristin Scott-Thomas if I'mnot wrong
Man, you talk about this song as if it was written in your mother language. Respect ! This beautiful song is certainly inspired bythe "diary of Ann Franck"
Hi, I came to your reactions from your Dimash Kudaibergen reactions with great pleasure and emotions. And now you listen to JJ Goldman who is also my favorite !!! Thank you for your honest and full of humanity reactions. Take care. Love from France ! 😁
Vous devriez regarder la vidéo de la chanson ''LA BAS'' qui est magnifique. Un duo JJ GOLDMAN et SIRIMA qui fut malheureusement assassinée par son conjoint.
Hello D, I am one of your French subscribers! I was surprised to see you react to J.J Goldman. He is the best singer-songwriter in France. He did a lot of songs for Celine Dion! As you are interested in French music I would like to suggest the best artist in France that you absolutely must discover! she has a 40-year career and is a real showgirl on stage! Her name is Mylène Farmer! You could start with Peu etre toi (maybe you) live in Bercy I hope you will like it
Sarah ou Anne et malheureusement beaucoup beaucoup d’autres,j écoute cette chanson et je vois les images de la Shoah en dans ma tête ,c est terrible ,ma chanson préféré de JJG ❤❤❤
Merci, ton analyse est rigoureusement juste. Mais il y a aussi un jeu d'acteur avec son regard. Regarde au debut comment il regarde l'objectif avec amour et après le violon le regard avec colère.
Jean -Jacques evokes the life of a little Jewish girl herded into the Warsaw ghetto during the Second World War, before being taken to the extermination camps in Poland.
He wrote many song for celine dion and sing few with her also. He wrote a beautiful song "Just après" (Right after) after watching a documentary where you can see a nun/nurse somewhere in Africa trying her best for many minutes to "revive" a baby that was just born but didn't breath. th-cam.com/video/KMdJL-zpxUo/w-d-xo.html
J’adore tes analyses elles sont parfaites….en France il y avait trois icônes Hallyday (RIP) ;Goldman et Mylène Farmer Les concert de Mylène sont mythiques le live de « ainsi sois je » en est un exemple L’écouter …et on tombe amoureux dans l’instant ❤
HAHAHA it actually says - BLOW ME , and then under it hahaha its a birthday CAKE showing LOTS of Candles and shows the AGE I was when I was given that shirt (which I wont say! ha)
Ecouter jean-jacques Goldman "Né le 17 à Liedenstadt" une chanson magnifique ❤❤❤
Sous toutes les vidéos, je laisse aussi cette recommandation.......Une des plus belles de JJ et pourtant il y en a beaucoup
The Ruth mentioned in the song was JJG's mother, she was a German Jewish woman born in Munich. One day he found a picture of a little girl in a family album. Her name was not known, but she was a friend of his mother's.
Hum hum,
merci je ne le savais pas
J'ai toujours eu des doutes sur cette photo bien connue de tous.
HE s a very good compositeur and the lyrics are beautiful , he s fantastic

@@richthi yes, for once, a cover from Lara does not supersedes the original, I do agree. And I am an absolute fan of Lara. Still a beautiful cover.
@@ericsicard910I love her cover on "Je suis malade", but the "Comme toi" cover is less accomplished to my opinion.
Peace out.
@@richthi maybe you misunderstood me, i did agree with you in fact.
he is talking about Anne Franck . he justed change her name😥
J'aime ❤beaucoup ces chansons Jean-Jacques goldman de l'émotion et d'amour 😊❤

Tu n"as pas compris le sous texte je pense
Очень люблю эту песню! Спасибо!

Your French is excellent.

Another song "Puisque tu pars" it's a break up song
It's not a break up song. To me it is more about a kid leaving his parent's house to live his life
Puisque tu pars live
Merci 👍🏼
1939 / 1945 😢 During the war and the deportation many children lost their lives, that's it.
Merci, ton analyse est rigoureusement juste. Mais il y a aussi un jeu d'acteur avec son regard. Regarde au debut comment il regarde l'objectif avec amour et après le violon le regard avec colère.
Just a thought : best way to discover a song is to listen audio only so we can make our own pictures ... but it does not match with YT
Merci❤
Jean -Jacques evokes the life of a little Jewish girl herded into the Warsaw ghetto during the Second World War, before being taken to the extermination camps in Poland.
Merci ❤il a écrit je ne sais plus combien d album pour Céline Dion ! carmen
Please react Calogero ‘’Tien An Men’’ masterpiece french song
He wrote many song for celine dion and sing few with her also.
He wrote a beautiful song "Just après" (Right after) after watching a documentary where you can see a nun/nurse somewhere in Africa trying her best for many minutes to "revive" a baby that was just born but didn't breath.

What a beautiful song about holocaust crimes ! Sarah the little girl ! Thanks for your video ! La France aime Goldman
Jean-Jacques Goldman "Tournent les violons" please, thanks.
Thanks for your comment about the holocaust.
Et les Sarah meurent toujours aujourd'hui, dans les guerres, les massacres, les tueries.. l ' Homme n'apprend pas de ses erreurs, il les reproduit.
J’adore tes analyses elles sont parfaites….en France il y avait trois icônes Hallyday (RIP) ;Goldman et Mylène Farmer
Les concert de Mylène sont mythiques le live de « ainsi sois je » en est un exemple
L’écouter …et on tombe amoureux dans l’instant ❤
😪
Bien mais pas l'inscription sur le t-shirt !
HAHAHA it actually says - BLOW ME , and then under it hahaha its a birthday CAKE showing LOTS of Candles and shows the AGE I was when I was given that shirt (which I wont say! ha)
This song about a jewish little girl killed by the Nazism is so fucking sad
Texte qu’on pourrait appliquer pour les enfants palestiniens aujourd’hui! 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸
La meilleur de jean jacques est celle ci: th-cam.com/video/dc40M9DEVWI/w-d-xo.html
Il vous faut écouter " né en 17" une autre chanson très puissante de Goldman
C'est l'histoire deux enfants juif durant la guerre 39/45 déportés par les Allemands
