Man, you are gonna love "tous les mêmes" , absolute masterpiece...song and video!! Looking forward for your reaction
forrealllll
Yes! J’adore “Tous les Mêmes” 😉
Or Carmen
@@assmitab.o.z2132 is that the one with the bird?
Tous les mêmes is fantastic
If I remember well, this song was not planned on radio. A friend of him put it on the air in a small radio, after that everyone got crazy asking who is this guy,... and the magic began as this song went viral everywhere...
Stromae showed later that this was not just one masterpiece and luck, but that he is a music genius.
The "friend" was Julie Van H
I just wanna take a moment to note that Stromae came out with this absolute masterpiece - which to me is a story about the feeling of disconnect from reality that so many people in a modern “corporate society” experience on a daily basis - at the age of 24.
It's about falling in a drinking addiction, the dance are supposed to be drinking to forget about everyday life
The song of my childhood I am loving these 😁 also it’s not “so let’s dance” but “so we dance” i feel it makes a difference haha
That definitely changes the meaning of it, and is not at all as joyful as the interpretation in the video ... Instead of singing "let's dance" (to forget about work etc.) and thereby saying that dancing is the solution, he rather seems to just describe that people are dancing/clubbing/partying ("so we dance") do to cope with the hardships of everyday life, although that doesn't actually solve anything in the long run ...
@@nathaliepares632 That’s exactly what the song means and as a french person, I agree that the traduction is not right and it really changes the meaning of the lyrics.
I love your Stromae reaction vids! Your expressions to the musical beats and samples is very engaging, as is your face of compassion when the song's meaning hits you at first listen (I need at least five or six goes to grasp Stromae's songs...) You'll find Santé, Carmen and Tous Les Memes interesting to comment on as well!
And yeah; that note was lower...
and don't forget Quand c'est . Give me everytime goosebumps
I am so happy that you opened your musical world to Stromae who is, in my opinion, a fabulous artist. Thank you for your reactions, I enjoyed watching them.
I started watching your reactions because you seem to have a genuine appreciation for music. And not just for the music you “like” but for the art form in general. You hear hooks, note transitions, word pairing etc. Stromae is not an easy listen (and I have the advantage of speaking French) but hats off. It’s a beautiful process to watch and I appreciate it immensely.
Stromae has the genius to bring us his lyrics with music and rhythms that are absolutely catchy, unique and so inventive, and above all, always absolutely appropriate to the subject.
Stromae is a music genius that we can't deny
"alors on danse" was released in 2010 and made him famous. then came the "racine carrée" album. he went so much on tour he burned out. after the pandemic he released "multitude".
have a good listen and thanx for sharing!!
But the real turning point was the preventive malaria drug he got which triggered depression and psychosis
I danced, singed an drunk to this song quite a lot 😂😂😂 it was impossible to escape it. Every bar and night club played it.
IMO it is already and will remain a a classic, in France no party without a Stromae song :)
Record companies have no sense sometimes, these reactions reach audiences they cannot. How do they not get this? If I had not run across him on TH-cam I would not have bought his CD. You are doing a service sir, keep it up.
I think you're right, he IS talking about listening to your body and just losing yourself in the music and forgetting your troubles, even if it's only for a moment. I really like watching you react to Stromae💕 Thanks for the double release! Made my day:)
"So what was that? a saxophone? trumpet?" We all know its a canard malade. hahah
Un vieux bignou
When you started vibing and dancing, was the best part and made me so happy!! 😂😄 woke up my kids with that song dancing and vibing years ago!!
Man, this brings back memories. This song came out in 2009, when I was just 11 years old. Kinda wild to see a reaction to this these days. Thank you!
And yeah, this was long before the hiatus. That started in 2015 and he only just came back about half a year ago with Santé, which is another song you'd probably enjoy a lot. He made that to celebrate some of the less celebrated members of society, like cleaners, restaurant waiters or callcenter employees.
Or Tous Les Mêmes from 2013 which is about how stupid the classic gender stereotypes are.
Interesting fact: the saxophone was invented in Belgium 🇧🇪
Interesting fact: Adolphe Sax' face was used on the 200 frank notes in old belgian currency before the Euro was introduced (about 5 Euro's ) 🇧🇪
@@filipito2 yes! I lived in Belgium in the late 90s and I remember that :)
@@jodie8687 Lovely 🙂 Good memories?
@@filipito2 absolutely
first of all, i want to tell you that i really like watching your videos. your reaction to "l'enfer" brought tears to my eyes. many people could identify with this song. me extremely.
as a dry alcoholic, i interpret this song a little differently. also as someone who has been working full time for 20 years now.
you work all day and are already somewhat exhausted from it and then you are pulled into a party without really wanting to but powerless to resist. you are even forced to drink... at least in the beginning. the partying people don't let you go, nail you down... more more more. the next day you end up back in the office, completely destroyed and hungover. this destroys you in the long run. the others are dancing, not you.
I’d add “Quand c’est” to the list. 😍
Greeting from Cambodia 🇰🇭
One of my fav song from Stromae❤️
Keeping up
Since you're from the UK i highly recommend the song " La pluie " feat Orelsan ( a french rapper known for his texts ). It deals with the comfort found in rain, in towns where nothing moves, where people grow old, lonely, boring... but finding a sense of belonging there. Very melancholic
I love La Pluie. I’ve watched it so many times I’ve lost count. Great lyrics and I love Stromae with Orelsan, they complement each other so well. They are good friends and both humble. Hoping for more collaborations between them.
In South Africa this was a very popular house song back in the day, you'd have it bumping every weekend night
i like your reactions man ! your understanding of the structure and meaning of the songs amaze me. And you don't even speank french bravo!
I would say that the meaning got lost in translation as "alors on danse" is "so we dance" more than "so let's dance" which adds a more fatalastic sense to the song which is about daily boring routine..
I think you would really appreciate "Tous les mêmes" but also, a very very much more intense but very under valued song "Dodo". "Dodo" is talking about domestical violence, all of it on the rhythm of the most famous french speaking lullaby.
J adore la réaction du gars 😂 il a compris les paroles et c est clair et profond pour lui génial 👍
In fact, what he means by "So let's dance" is that we dance to freeze our heads, to stop thinking about the shit of our lives.
You really need to watch "Quand C'est". Stromae's play on words and their sounds leads to a hauntingly beautiful song and music video
I love the video to Ta fete as well, it looks like a bery ecpensive production. Carmen is good too.
Yes the saxo changes the tone
And When you think it’s finished hey then there are more( problems) et quand tu crois qu’c’est fini ben y en a encore !
Stromea is as great like Michael Jackson. He creates a new modern vibe with strong lyrics. Underated artist. It seems sometimes if you are not from the USA you are not immediatly a big hit. Love the way he is and sings in his own language to express himself.
6:06 - 6:28 hell yeah, same reaction the first time that I heard this masterpiece, so sick dude !!!!
This was huge back in the day!
This was the first hit of Stromae I ever heard ☺☺☺i am watching all your Stromae reactons, love them!
when you are really stoned and that song as loud as possible, you think, you can fly...^^
If you want a strong song with deep theme no one is singing about except Stromae : ‘quand c’est’ ! Concerns everyone and won’t leave you unsensitive. Cold and harsh, you will understand it really quickly…
Please react to STROMAE “CARMEN” . That’s the song that got me into stromae!
Crazy you haven’t heard of him. Love Stromae
To me "you pray for it to stop but your body isn't the sky" means that you can wish all you like, but until you make your body do things to change actions and habits, what you pray for won't happen. Your body keeps track of every night spent partying instead of resting, every day spent working and worrying. In my opinion it's a criticism of how present day work/home/leisure balance isn't healthy, but sometimes it's all we can do to party to get relief in a miserable situation, even it the next day is just as bad, or worse for the party the night prior.
Thanks again for reacting to our Belgian Maestro. Please do "Quand c'est ",you won't be disappointed ! Cheers
Am I addicted to your videos? Yes, I am.
Actually, you might be right about him passing out on stage being a visual representation of burnout. If I remember right, this song was released long before he went on a long hiatus, but perhaps he had already started feeling the burnout by then. If that's true that would mean he kept pushing through his burnout and produced Racine Carree, then went on tour, and eventually couldn't take it anymore and decided to take a long break to recuperate. (This is just me imagining things so please don't attack me if I'm wrong ^^').
According to his German Wikipedia page, it was his African tour in 2015 that he had to cancel partway through, partially because of anxiety induced by the malaria drug he was taking. So that might have been the tipping point on top of the burnout he might already have been feeling.
To my opinion this song is not about daily boring routine that we can forget with a good party. This is about the deep and strong despair you feel when you realise that you are stuck in a life that keep you occupied 24/7 with all kinds of common problems and that you realise that your life we’ll be nothing than that. And the dancing part is a kind of a loophole indispensable to your survival, so it’s not really a choice. Or you dance or you die. The traduction of the chorus is actually not good. It’s not « so let’s dance » but « so we dance » which really change the meaning. It’s not an invitation to dance but an explanation of why we dance. Using our bodies is this only way to reapprop ours lives. It’s one of our last space of freedom (for now). What is strong with this song is that Stromae talk about something that older people usually feel, mostly when they have kids and serious jobs and house loan. When they realise they completely stuck and that days are full of things to do and problems to solve, without a break. It feels like it will never stop : all the decisions you make leads to other problems and decisions to make and so on. Like it was a slide and you could do nothing but to wait to arrive at the end. But the end means death. This song is actually very dark like all of his songs. It’s nothing about having fun dancing. And it’s nothing about depression. This feeling of being stuck is something that many people feel in their 40’s, maybe earlier, maybe later. It’s not depression, it’s just starting to understand what society has planned for us and how we have chose to say yes without understanding what we were doing. I had to wait my late 30’s to really understands what he meant.
i feel like you hit the nail on the head with the fact that even when doing something fun as partying, he still felt forced to "work" to the point of passing out, this guy cant catch a break man
It’s “So We Dance” - talking about how we cope with what we know is wrong in life. And then we burn out from not fixing it because we’re too busy dancing.
Very good analysis of his songs as well as the feeling he had at that time. He had the feeling of being a prisoner of his success and especially of the weight of his celebrity. It is a pleasure to see you react to the masterpieces of this unique artist.
This song was written way before celebrity 😊
I love Je cours by Stromae. Fantastic upbeat dance song.
May 2009, 13 years ago... So many memories...
I think the ending of the video has a double meaning. It symbolizes how Stromae is trapped in his work, but also how everyone else is trapped in their weekly cycle. For Stromae, if he doesn't go out and perform for crowds he'll end up back at his desk job, forgotten by the world. For a normal person, we work all week then go out all weekend to party to escape our troubles from the week. But no matter how hard we party we will always wake up on Monday morning back at work facing the same issues week after week.
You should react to te quiero, it's really beautifully written
Just for your record - if you want to really understand his process, we became really well know with "Alors on Dance" - at this time his sounds was more electro-pop but very specific still to his own creation - then it evolved also including more latino style sounds, some hints of it already appeared in his album "Racine Carré" with the song "ave cesaria" a tribute to Cesaria Evora. Then he did a kind of burn-out has he had a lot of success very fast, so stopped for a while and his last album is a very beautiful mixed of all he had gone through during the last 6 years, from the depression to becoming a father, it's a very powerful, honest and beautiful journey that he is sharing with us. (and just for you, "Fils de joie" is supposed to be pronounced "Fis (pronounce de "s" and not the "l", it means "son") de joua" - it is a more polite way to say "son of a bitch")
Hi here from France. Really enjoyed your review, you certainly even helped me understand the lyrics meaning better when I, as French sealer, get carried by the poetry of the lyrics which some times you may agree you don’t exercer to make much sens… but it does. Thanks and keep on the good work! This artist, Stromae, is really unique as you have certainly understood, so much more good stuff to discover. And, he is back now after a decade off stage! Cheers !
I remember hearing thins when I was younger lol I’m like I don’t understand it but I like it when I was 8 I’m now 14 lol and understand it now I’m learning French 😂👍🏾
Love your reaction !! Stromae work a lot for the lyrics with the french rapper Orelsan and you really should check his song like "L'Odeur de l'essence", "Basique" or "La quête" I think you gonna love it too !! 😍
Also I'm waiting for your next Stray Kids reaction 😁 and you should check their live performance "God's Ddu du ddu du"
(sorry for my english I'm not native)
You should watch the making off..its a sketch with Stromae and Jamel and it is REALLYYYY funny
I have been following you since you have reacted to l’enfer by stromae and since then i watch your videos. I think you are amazing and you have very smart and deep thoughful reactions… its a pleasure to listen to you keep up the wonderful work 💕
Estuve el 28 en el Shrine LA 🥰Simplemente sensacional!!!!!
ayooooo again Stromae thank you ! Also I love to hear how you pronounce French words that's interesting
This is an artist I've been listening to literary since 2012 😅 I love how he's being seen more in American culture now
… and “Carmen”! 🤩🫶🏻
He talks about the problems and how we just dance to get away from them.
What a great reaction videos to both Stromae mv's. I love the fact that you mention that this isn't normally the music you listen to. I didn't listen to poppy music myself, yet I'm a very big fan of Stromae since I've found out about him. He has something special that other pop artists certainly don't have. Something that keeps me hooked and I'm actually a metal-head. Keep the reactions coming. I really enjoy them and I even get to know some other nice artists as well on this channel. 😎👍
P.S.: I see a suggestion in the comments to do 'tous les mêmes' next. I second that. Greetings from the Netherlands.
First song wass DOPE ❤️stromae ❤️❤️❤️🇲🇽🇲🇽👍
Teddy there’s no way you never heard of this unless you lived under a rock for the past 10-15 years
My parents locked me in a house until I escaped at 15 years old. I lived on the streets and then joined a gang. In the last few years I cut ties with that gang and built a family.
So in a sense I did, and the rock I lived under was a great weight, but you people help me lift it everyday with new music ❤️
@@TeddyGreyOS I love you teddy
I was only young then but in England even I don't remember it being popular. There is a remix that's new that uses this song as a sample that seems pretty popular though
@@amemelia Anglo saxon world is often too self centered. You guys miss a lot.
It would be great if you also react to "Sante" by Stromae.... that song is also a unique one!!!!
Thank you!
MASTERPIECE!!!! ❤
This is he's first song that be known, i think you dance, so he win ;) , PS: he Say : danse for dance and chante for sing ( not chance , chance IS chance same in french and english)
Actually, the initial lyrics where "so we drink" but it was forbidden by the government so to have it played on radio, he had to change them to "so we dance"
That tiny change made song better
fudge, i still cannot concentrate on the clip. you look like a dark haired modern Zeus🤩
His first hit, was very popular in clubs.
You should try an other belgian singer who begins. It's pierre de Maere. He has something realy special in his voice. Try 'un jour je marierai un ange' or 'romeo' (smart lyrics too) 😁
I love the Kid Cudi comparison! Would have never occurred to me and I enjoy both artists.
i just my self just hear today.. never hear it.. love it..
I just love Stromae.
”Ta fête”!! 🤩❤️🤩❤️
Formidable stromae
I've always heard this sentence "alors on danse" as a (self) critique of the way that, as a society, we look for entertainment more then we look for solutions. Everything is falling down, life sucks, so come on, let's dance.
Please, listen to Carmen😍
He’s different
Teddy’s reaction in the thumbnail was my reaction after I finished listening to “Papaoutai” for the first time. LOL 😂
he’s performing next year in london u gotta go!!
That nerve-wrecking hooter isn't a saxophone nor a trumpet. It's a yazoo or vuvuzela. One hums the tune in it and it amplifies the humming. It's most important use is during the Football World Championship. Just to make noise for your home team and to unnerve the adversary team.
The Old Celts used a Calyx for that purpose.
Give a try to the lyrics of Rail de Musique🙂 moving type stuff too but with words play in French to describe an addiction to composing music. Unique.
I'm really enjoying your reactions to Stromae! Keep em coming😄
I can only second the other Stromae recommendations I've seen in the comments, it's all excellent stuff. Perhaps you would enjoy GIMS too, more French rap but he sings as well. Also, the music videos of "Immortel" and "Changer" have plenty of imagery to explore (just to name a few)✌
Also Sante about people we don't notice or see or fils de joie about prostitutes. He is so creative , talented and unique not just the music, lyrics but also the artistic staging, performance and message
amazing! his masterpiece remains Quand C'Est, and also Tous les memes!
I love your Stromae reactions, but you really should check the song 'Santé' (Cheers, in English). An absolute banger, pretty tricky and gritty at the same time. And expect some electro-cumbia thrown into all of that.
If you want a lowkey one, try "Dodo", I love that one.
Great video btw!
For low key but with enough impact i would recommend 'peace or violence'. Old one but unfortunately very relevant. And keep up the nice, sincere reactions!
Pour information, Stromae explique dans une interview que l’inspiration pour alors on dance s’est basée sur une soirée où il est sorti dans un club et en regardant les gens danser tout en ayant des réels problèmes dans leur vie l’a fait réfléchir à cette fausse attitude qu’ont les personnes dans les soirées à pousser un sentiment de fausse joie quand en fait, elles vont mal. Du coup, cette air dépressif sur un rythme dansant qui accroche.
Can't wait for your reaction to Carmen and Quand C'est !
I don't go clubbing..... dances his ass off in his living room
08:44 it was just you vibing, we understand ❤️❤️
❤❤❤
The prononciation is the same than "a maestro", mae-stro, Sto-mae, Stromae
Stromae, or should i say Maestro's first mega hit.
You said you have OCD, can you react to a rapper I really love called NF, he also has OCD and mentions it in a lot of songs, start with The Search, after that Leave me alone, then Why, and then the NF fandom will be all over your comments supporting you and suggest other songs
morale of the song is to escape society probleme you dance
I love all your video reaction with Stromae please go check "Quand c'est" you will love this song !!
Sing // Swing ;)
