    I am Belgian and can assure you that Stromae and his team is the very best of what my country has to offer musically. Belgian sense of humour tries to make everything speakable and confront difficult issues with a vail of lightness. Stromae and his family are the most beautiful example of what our society should grow to become, an eye and understanding for every individual, respect for everyone’s feelings, we are all part of humanity, but none of us are perfect, so we should not pretend to be better than others, we all struggle from time to time. So treat others the way you would like to be treated, with gentleness, patience and respect.

  • @fobgrvt
    @fobgrvt Рік тому +14

    For me Stromae isn't just a singer, he's a performer. He puts so much effort into his songs.
    And it's not just the lyrics of his songs (and the play on words he likes to us). It's the whole package. In the official video and arrangement, you just feel the dissonance between the periods of being mentally "stable" and how fast you can slip back into your depression. Once you get stuck in your thoughts, it's really hard to get out of that state of mind.
    The entire album is so emotional and relatable. You should listen to the last 2 songs of the album (mauvaise journee/bonne journee) and compare them to each other. They basically describe the same day, but in the first one everything feels like it goes wrong, while the other everything goes smooth.

    Love that you did this one. Anything Stromae does is different from what you've heard. And you were right. There were some faults in the translations. His official videos do also come with English subtitles but maybe if they get blocked the message will get lost on non-french speaking. And the messages are always strong with Stromae.

    the thins that makes stromae so unique is that he uses influences from all over the world from all his travels and experiences and puts it in his music. If you have the ear you can recognize African drums, South American sounds, European all mixed up and if you listen carefully you'll realize you can't put his music in one particular category or genre, there is a bit of everything yet is sounds like no one else, so beautiful

My boss heard me jumped in her car and confronted me right away, made me clarify what I met. At that point I broke down and told her that I wanted to end it. that I kept fucking up and wasn't able to provide like I wanted for my daughter, and that she would be better without me.Thats when she told me that her dad had commited suicide and that she wasn't better off without him. I spare you all the details but from that moments I seeked help and 3 years later I'm doing great. Thx tom for the great channel.

    Stromae's father was killed in the Rwanda massacre and his mother didnt tell him for a long time, causing a massive shock to a young teenager at the time, you can study the lyrics for the famous Papaoutae
    From here he started creating music, giving us his first album Cheese, getting him signed with a larger production company.
    The then released his second album which went crazy, massive fame and money for someone very humble takes a very negative toll on him, and here he goes radio silent. Battling with mental health for years and finally coming out with his latest 2 songs and an album out this month. During the times away, he did get married and had a child.

    In the music video (which had a better translation I think) there’s a scene where he hits himself in the head repeatedly. It resonated. Pain is lonely. Even if you and others are feeling pain with each other, your pain is yours alone, & no one can take it from you. At least not permanently. Maybe the can give you a pill that gives you some relief, but it’s temporary. When the pain doesn’t stop you start to go mad. If you’re in mental/emotional agony, physical pain sometimes distracts you. You’re trying to figure out how to live through it and wondering, what if it doesn’t end. Knowing you can only survive feeling this for so long. You’re battling yourself. Your survival instinct vs your need to make it end. So this song + video does an excellent job of describing this.

    Dear Tom, I am so glad to see such a good use of internet: exposing art and deep thoughts thus liberating the speech and opening positive interactions.
    Now you know the lyrical meaning of "L'enfer" I suggest you watch the music video I'm sure you'll find as brilliant and telling as the music alone.
    Stromae has already touched other deep mental issues as the father's loss in "Papaoutai".
    Last, I would love to see you react to "Sun Goes Down" by Lil Nas X. This artist crushes fears, stereotypes and social barriers like no one before. I guess you will approuve the message and be interested by his ability to play with his audience's emotions and projections. And he is a fan of Juice WRLD...

    I didn't do any research but I live in Belgium so I've heard a lot of him on the news. As for as I know, stromae has been one of the most popular french speaking(singing) artists in the world especially some years ago like 2016-2018. Then he took a break from music and came back with l'enfer which was a big deal in Belgium and France. Obviously the song has a lot of meaning and Stromae got all over the news again spreading the message that mental health needs attention and. If you would react to other of his music I'd suggest 'formidable' it's another great song of his which is also pretty powerfull. ❤️

    Great reaction! It's really cool to see you react to a song in my native language! But you are correct, some of the translation don't make total sense but it's really hard to capture the little nuances in French laguage when translated to english. For those interested, I'm going to post my own translation below, which I think is slightly more understandable.
    I'm not alone to be alone
    That's one less thing to think about
    If I were to count how many we are
    Many (a lot)
    Everything I've thought about
    A lot of people already thought about it
    Despit this I still feel alone
    Therefore (so)
    I sometimes had suiciadal thoughts
    And I'm not proud of it
    Sometimes we think it's the only way to make them quiet
    These thoughts that make me go through hell
    These thoughts that make me go through hell
    Am I the only one that has a tv?
    And the Guilt channel?
    But you need to find a way to change your mind
    Not too much, though
    Otherwise it quickly starts again inside your head
    And that's when I'd like to forget everything
    Therefore (so)
    I sometimes had suiciadal thoughts
    And I'm not proud of it
    Sometimes we think it's the only way to make them quiet
    These thoughts that make me go through hell
    These thoughts that make me go through hell
    You know I thoroughly thought about it
    And I really don't know what to do with you
    Precisely, thinking (getting in your own head)
    That's the actual problem with you
    You know I thoroughly thought about it
    And I really don't know what to do with you

    I am late to this reaction, but agree with the others that seeing the actual video with English captions is the best way to watch Stromae. Given the content of your channel, Stromae is the perfect artist to study as every one of his songs carry a very strong message. His Papaoutai is the effect of growing up with a father who was absent his whole life. He actually died when Paul (Stromae) was just 2 years old, but his mother told him that dad was working. He didn't find that he'd does until much later in life. It's the perfect thing for you to analyze on this channel - and it is available with captions.

    Wait till you watch the video clip (it's subtitled as well and they've done a better job as well). Stromae pays attention to detail and every image he creates is very apt to what he's saying! The song is very powerful (even more so in French as someone has already pointed). The clip just adds to that! You should definitely watch it!!!

    Hello, I'm french-speaking belgian with a background in French-English professional translation. I've seen many variations on the translations for this song and none of them sounds quite right to me. So here's my professional take. Is it perfect? No. No translation ever is. Doubly so here, because Stromae's lyrics tend to have double or triple meanings in many of his songs. But it's a damn sight better than what I've seen on UA-cam. Make of those what you will. Enjoy.
    I’m not alone in being alone
    That’s one less thing on the mind
    And if I counted how many of us there are
    Many
    All these thoughts I’ve had
    To say that so many have had them before
    But despite this, I feel alone
    Therefore
    I’ve sometimes had suicidal thoughts
    And I’m not proud of it
    We sometimes think that’s the only way to silence them
    These thoughts that put me through hell
    These thoughts that put me through hell
    Am I the only one with the TV on
    Showing the Guilt Trip channel?
    But you have to take your mind off it sometimes
    But not too much
    Or it’ll send your head spinning again
    And it’s too late to make it stop
    That’s when I’d like to forget it all
    Therefore
    I’ve sometimes had suicidal thoughts
    And I’m not proud of it
    We sometimes think that’s the only way to silence them
    These thoughts that put me through hell
    These thoughts that put me through hell
    You know, I’ve been thinking a lot
    And I really don’t know what to do with you
    In fact, thinking…
    … is the whole issue with you
    You know, I’ve been thinking a lot

    I'm sure someone must have mentioned but Stromae was touring Africa and in particular Rwanda where his father was massacred when he suffered a severe mental health altering side effect to an anti malaria drug. Larium, I think. Prior to that he was never out of the spotlight and continously on tour.

    Not sure if you'd consider watching his music video for his songs since he often puts the subtitles with them as well. The videos are such works of art, the video pairs with the song so well, for me it does capture almost like the internal struggle/screaming going on in your head

They took the idea of a novel where the theme is the thanatos illness and theres a boy who meets a girl with that illness. Maybe this could be one to check out, it went pretty viral.

    Otherwise it goes quickly in the head
    Sinon ça r'part vite dans la tête
    And it's too late for it to stop
    Et c'est trop tard pour qu'ça s'arrête
    This is where I would like to forget everything

    There are some weaker moments in the translation but the point where you pointed it out was quite well translated. I don't know about english, but in french we use the "you" when we talk to ourselves, often to berrate ourselves when we're alone. Like we drop something and exclaim "damn you really have two left hands" talking to ourselves.

    I’m not sure if anyone explained this yet in the comments, but the subject matter comes equally through the visuals in the video. Stromae is a master in conveying visually what’s going on in his music. Also, I think the second part of the song is actually someone else who is judging him, making him feel worse… just an opinion, but I think you can see i that in the video. It’s especially clear in the premier video of this song, which happened during the evening news on a major French channel.
