Orelsan is from Caen, a city of Normandy (not far from the D-Day beaches). It's a near-coastal city, in Northern France. Stromae is from Belgium, where the weather is extremely similar to Normandy. Most of the year it rains in those regions, like in the UK. The rain is not a metaphor of their mental state, it's a metaphor of their childhood : what they knew when they were kids, what they left when they grew up. They describe where they're coming from, all the problems that their native regions have, but at the end of the day even with all the problems, they're nostalgic and want to come back, asn this is what they know and are comfortable with. THe whole album this song is from ("la fête est finie" - the party is over) is a series of songs that basically describe the process of someone entering their 30s, that left their native region in their 20s for work, university or something else, seeing themselves age and coming back to their roots, in particular back to their family. The first part of the album is Orelsan hating on his childhood lifestyle, then heting on his current lifestyle, then coming around in the second part of the album to grow back to family and his roots. It's a very powerful album as a whole I think, with really nice songs. The second part of the album (which was released a year later, called Epilogue) is him warming up to his family back prtty much.
and when he says "but the weather is good, it's good, it's good ..." he means that in their heart there is sunshine and happiness despite the bad weather and the hard life
Being Belgian it really made me happy that you said that Stromae is Belgian because the French who are just below Belgium love to make people believe that our artists, scientific racing drivers or any important people come from France while no 😁even the city of New York was founded by a Belgian Pierre Minuit from 1840 to 1900 Belgium was the second industrial power in the world we are a small country but we are important 😂😉
That's wrong man... Don't know where you say that from. But for sure, a lot of belgian artists have for ambition to succeed face to the french audience and that's logical, we are neighbour, some of you speak french and our culture is similar. From my side, I love a lot of belgians singers, actors, for their very special humor and their talent
@@TheBotzouk94 si tu est français on peut parler en français alors 🤣 bha beaucoup de français avec qui je parle pense que les artiste belge sont français simplement parcequ'ils réussissent en France la meilleure preuve est Laura Laune elle habitait pas loin de chez moi et parcequ'elle as gagne lfit les français sont convaincue qu'elle est française on m'a lâcher le même pour Angel et Damso une personne as réussi à me dire que Jacque Brel était français
@@jonathanpietquin2253 oui je suis français et oui ça peut arriver au début qu'on ne sache pas vraiment la nationalité d'un ou une artistes mais il ne faut à mon avis pas le prendre de cette manière. Ensuite, certains manquent de culture mais bon, je pense que ce n'est pas très grave, l'essentiel est de reconnaitre le talent, d'où qu'il vienne 🙂
J’arrive super tard mais en tant que Français, je peux comprendre que vous pensiez qu’on « s’accapare » vos artistes mais en fait on entend pas forcément les accents etc et pour nous si quelqu’un parle français bah il est français. Par contre, tu te demande aux gens qui connaissent stromae, Angèle, damso, etc ils savent qu’ils sont belges. En fait c’est la même pour la suisse et même des fois pour des artistes nord-africains
The "happy synth" intro is a very subtle tribute to one of the OGs of electronic music, Monsieur Jean-Jacques Perrey, who was playing his Ondioline in the 50's when Stockhausen was in his mad scientist lab and Pierre Schaeffer and Pierre Henry were DJing some Musique Concrète with reel to reel tapes and audio effects. And he switched to (not Bach) Moog in the 60's : th-cam.com/video/G515TMYz5OU/w-d-xo.html 4:55 "MPV" is the abbreviation of "Multi Purpose Vehicle" (in French "monospace" in the song that's why he's speaking about windshield wipers, like a Renault Espace, VW Sharan or Citroën Picasso). Orelsan comes from Normandy where it rains as much as in Belgium. The overcrowded bus stop is about having some _chaleur humaine_ ("human heat") in a cold place, so "il fait quand même beau" (the weather is nice after all). All in all it's somewhat an ode to small/middle sized cities where you can still find some solace with people you know instead of living in a dehumanized big city.
7:36 it's about the fact that people from there (where Stromae and Orelsan grew up) don't have enough money to buy and sustain a car so the only solution to go to work or to school or doctor appointments or go to tha grocery store is via the bus but there are not enough buses on this line and not enough space inside every bus so it's jammed but people have nochoise and they go through that every single day and they better not complain or else the municipality who is in charge of this line and who pays the bus drivers and buy the buses will make it worse (also municipalities usually don't have a lot of money so yeah)
I really like your videos! If you like Orelsan, you should make a video about Orelsan's music featuring Vald whose name is Peon. You will love it! Vald is the one who comes closest to what Orelsan can do in France (in my opinion)

As a belgian this song is pure melancholy for me
Orelsan probably the best French-speaking lyricist
The video clip was filmed in Kiev, Ukraine, just like the video clips from the songs "Tout va bien" and "Basique" !!

Yes the Rain is the typical weater in Belgium and northern France ❤

MPV stands for the typical soccer mom's vehicule : minivan for example

Stromae et son compère Aurel avec Oxmo sont mes rappers favoris ^^
Stromae is 🔥
MPV is an error translation. Is "a monospace" : family car.
Stromae is Belgium and it’s raining all time.
la veille a la fin avec le parapluie c'est la grand mère D'Orelsan
Orelsan et Stromae the best. Ils ont aussi fait AVF avec Gims...
En latinoamérica las paradas de buses siempre son así jajajaja llenas de gente !!!
Écoute, l'odeur de l'essence.
Viendo el video por Stromae , es un genio para la música ! ❤
Le café ! 😁 ( Ou la caféine ) .
MVP most pimpin vehicle haha
5:00 bad translation not Mpv but monospace is a kind of large car
your french accent is very good 👍
MPV · Multi Purpose Vehicle, mainly familly use.
orelsan comes from the north of France stromae from Belgium but the borders are close. do a react on SAN d'Orelsan it's for me one of the best sounds
Des textes intelligents et construits
MVP .... No it's monospace. It's a car
Its in Sablon, in Bruxelles
Je crois que ce gars est flamand
Nope, it is the Place du Béguinage in Brussels
Hello, french here. I'm probably late but your "MPV' question is just a subtitle error for "MVP'.
More french song pleaaase
