    I generally think that the translators for Stromae's music videos do a very good job at getting his points across- the translations are very well done. That said, I did take minor issue with the way they translated part of the chorus. The original line, in French, is "Ces pensées qui me font vivre un enfer," which is translated as "These thoughts are putting me through hell." However, I feel like use of the word "vivre" is important in the original song. I would translate it as "These thoughts which make me *live* through hell." "Vivre" means "to live," and I think the fact that he specifies that while it is hell, *he is still living through it," is very important and adds to the experience and overall message.

      Agreed ! I also thought a better translation wouldn't have been something like : "These thoughts (which) put me through a living hell". Yeah the combination of "life/ live" and "hell" carries a more intense feeling and a descriptive power which disappears in the translation. And to those who say He translated the lyrics himself, so the translation is perfect, I differ. One can be a good writer (which Stromae undeniably is) but not a good translator. These are two different skills/exercices.

    When you listen to "Multitude", you really notice how personal the album is. He got really sick while touring in Africa. Shortly after he fell into a depression and his new album really feels like it became a way for him to express and process all his emotions during that time. Songs like "L'Enfer" or "Invaincu" (unbeaten) are so hauntingly beautiful.
    The last 2 songs of the album "Mauvaise Journée" (having a bad day) and "Bonne Journée (having a good day) really demonstrate the ups and downs he went through. They basically describe the same day, yet in the first song everything goes wrong, while the other is perfect. Showing how easy it is to get swallowed up in your emotions and how they influence the way you live out the day.
    It's also no wonder people often compare him to "Jacques Brel". He's more then just a singer, he's a performer who puts his entire soul into his songs and performances.

    I believe that Stromae really felt every lyrics of this song. I don't think I've seen it in comments yet, so I'll say it here just in case, but the artist took a huge break in his career for a reason. He got Malaria after a concert in an african country and suffered greatly mentally because of the heavy treatment that followed 😢I thought he'd never come back to music, so glad to see he pulled through, and so inspiring to all of us who suffer through any sorts of mental issues.

    The panning out at the end was also very symbolic to me. If you take stromae as 'yourself' and the space as your 'mind', that depression is something that consumes you without you yourself actually knowing it, with him not knowing at the end how far the camera moved away from him. Also in the beginning the eyes knippered a lot, giving the feeling of irritation, but at the end the eye was calm. Showing that all this is happening without letting the outside see a hint of it.

    For me, this feels like anxiety attacks with PTSD added in. The rapid fidgeting, striking oneself, pacing, punching at the air, then when your energy drops after all that, the slow movements.

    Nice reaction ! Stromae is my fav artist🇧🇪. Also I think the chant in the beginning is more or less an old war song theme...like in prepare for war with yourself with the voice in you head. The use of the Chinese violine erhu in chorus (when beat scrambles) represents I think the mental breakdown from the flux of negative thoughts... Really like an electricity cubbort/ storage when a fuse melts down. Lots of depressed people watch TV all day but feel guilty for it... When he tries to think about something else he is pulled back in the depression's mental prison (when his head gets pulled to the side in the clip). The white void puts in to context how the battle for mental health is impossible to win on your own... Just alone punching an invisible enemy. No one to help or hear you screaming in anger. The eye at the end shows it's all in his head but also to show there is a world out there look for help to escape the thought prison before you do something stupid (suicide). Last thing I noticed :He's dressed in white not black so white for hope and salvation, you can beat a depression! It maybe also is a reference to what people wear in a mental institution :white clothes. The top coat remainds me off a " restrainjacket", he can't really move his arms because the jacket is so tight... At least that is what I make of it. Sorry for my English I speak French. 🤗Take care keep up the good work. Maybe a nice tip check-out quand c'est, house lleluya, Carmen or video peace or violence. Less known videos but def good to check out. This guy has really not one bad song! his songs always have deep meaning.

    The way I interpret the whole eye thing is that the whole thing happened inside his head. That person that was him was not him but was his internal thoughts and feelings. The further zoom out shows him externally.

    I was having a conversation about reaction videos with a friend and shared a few of my favorites. My friend lives in France and asked if I was familiar with Stromae so I looked for reaction videos to his music - yours was superb man. It's always great to see someone really engaged in the music. I think your pausing is appropriate - you get to hear enough of separate segments and then have really thoughtful insights when you pause.

    thanks so much for doing this. He is the most sublime genius of this generation, i am convinced. Can you please do next "Quand c'est"? It is, in my opinion, his most profound work. And then "Papaoutai" and "Formidable".

    Stromae had a huge depression for years ,he thought he never do music again. Now,he did it after 8 years of silence. In this song,he sings his state of mind during this years.
    Bravo

    one thing that people who don't speak french don't know about stromae is that he works in collaboration with his wife ( Coralie Barbier) , she's a graphic designer and stylist, she's the one who does all the colors, the costumes, and even sometimes she helps with the choreographies, it's a very very very united couple, they are like the 2 facets of the character of Stromae... Stromae is a real team work.

  • @gerfrancis
    @gerfrancis 2 роки тому +3

    Isn't it great that Stromae helps by letting you know that you are not the only one with these thoughts... and as he sings: it doesn't make you feel less alone ... but on the other hand: it's good to know, isn't it. It's good to know that there are people, that can relate. By the lyrics in this song, he helps. But that's what I think. Greetings from The Netherlands.

    Kanye West and Black Eyed Peas have covered songs from his previous album.
    You should react to :
    1. "Tous les mêmes" which has been covered by Kanye West. (Stromae explores the issue of violence in love from both a man's and a woman's point of view).
    2. "Papaoutai" which has been covered by Black Eyed Peas, it is his most famous title with 1 billion views on UA-cam (a masterpiece where he tackles the absence of a father from the child's point of view).
    3. "Carmen" it's a mix between pop and opera and Stromae speaks about the addiction to social networks.
    Bonus: "Formidable" (violence in love seen by a drunk man), "Quand c'est" (it's a dialogue with cancer).
    His universe is very rich, I hope you will enjoy it.

    When Listened to this song the first time (in french) ..I literally cried because it was like this young man saw into my soul. I am in his “beaucoup” (a lot) persons. I have known Stromae from the beginning of his career. The music is fantastic and he has sensitive thoughtful songs from the beginning and I am no spring chicken. For me Stromae is in the genius category. His music is universal and touches many people.

  • @suzannehorne77
    @suzannehorne77 2 роки тому +4

    Your reactions are amazing. You pick up so much in the first go. I think the camera panning out shows how small he feels himself in relation to how large the depression (green background) is looming and he's losing himself to it. It seems like he's fighting off a nest of hornets but the battle is all taking place in his head. He let's us in, via his eye, and then back out again at the end. Another short note about Stromae himself is that he was doing a world tour and took anti-malarial meds which had a tremendous effect on him. The drug made him suicidal and gave him hallucinations. He was gone from public view for a few years but his music now has more depth to it than the mostly electo-dance feel that it was before. He's a tremendous artist who has the ability to analyse topics and then repackage them in his music. It's been fascinating to see his growth and his life experiences expressed in his work. Thanks and keep the videos coming.

But watching your reaction to it was like going through it once again. I could see how relatable it is for you, and how much it has affected you, which proves the power of Stromae's work again. Thank you for being so honest and perceptive with your reactions, they definitely add to my experience of Stromae's music.

      @TeddyGreyOS  2 роки тому +1

      First off, the thumbnail of the very video you are commenting on has a Belgian flag in it.
      Secondly, he is speaking French, so as you can imagine it is incredibly easy for a virgin listener to assume he is French.
      Understanding is a key part of being a decent human, please try to practice it more in future.
      Finally, more Stromae coming soon 🙋🏻‍♂️

      I'm tired with all those people who have been complaining for years with :"he is Belgium, not French"...
      Me (in my head) :"It's OK, we hear you! 🙃 But why is it so important to you? He is a person, an artist before being Belgian, Rwandan, European, African or anything else... " 🙂
      He is proud being a Belgian 👍, but he also said he doesn't want to be identified as a flag bearer, a symbol of any country.
      And it's not a problem if not everybody knows about his nationality... No crime here. 🤷‍♀️
