New sub here. So many great Stromae songs (and videos!!) to discover: 'Formidable', 'Tous les memes', 'l'enfer', 'Carmen', 'Fils de joie', 'Santé' ,... all are of this standard, with poignant messages and come with unique videos. You can truly have your pick and won't be dissapointed. His live shows are even more mesmerizing and are among the best in the world I feel. (Coming from Belgium I might be a bit biased) His Tiny Desk Concert was also absolute golden btw
Hi. I love Stromae' work, and that's why i found myself watching your videos tonight (this one and the "Papoutai" reaction). I just discovered you, but I wanted to say that I already (really) appreciate the sensibility, the intelligence and the simplicity of your commentary. 🙏 I think it's not that common to find genuine reactions on youtube nowadays, so that's very precious. Forgive my poor english, and Thank you very much for your videos.
Bad English subtitles unfortunately. His chanting of the title is a play on words, and if you don't listen carefully it sounds the same. But actually he's swaying between Quand c'est? / cancer - When is it? / cancer. As brilliant as masterful. Even his name itself is from the same genius nature: Stromae / Maestro. We Germans love Stromae, his music, and his art.
Stromae is influenced by many artists, like Jacques Brel (very famous Belgian artist) for music, lyrics and performance. Jacques Tati (famous French movie director, comedian and actor) has been a major influence in his visual style, mostly in the animations including this video. (And his extreme movements on stage) On his latest album he talks about his difficult times he had after the first two albums. He had on interview on the French nightly news in which he performed his song about his suicidal periods. Every song he makes is a commentary on society and difficult topics. But there are some more cheerful ones you can try. If you want to understand how popular he is in Europa you should watch his performance on the NRJ Music Awards. Where he performed with Will I Am.
Stromae a beau nous faire danser sur le dancefloor avec des morceaux comme "Alors on danse", les paroles de ses chansons n'en sont pas pour autant légères. Avec "Quand c'est" le musicien belge évoque en effet le cancer, un sujet loin d'être festif, et qui lui est cher. Sa maman a eu un cancer du sein, tandis que son père a eu un cancer du poumon. Dans la seconde partie de la chanson, le rappeur évoque l'universalité de la maladie, qui touche aussi les plus jeunes, ainsi que son aspect aléatoire.
This song has such a powerful meaning
I lost my parents because of cancer and this song gets me every time I hear it…
