@@Ok20394 Le chanteur is a master piece also.. Daniel did a great job.. and as all great people he died too young. He was not only a singer. He confronted the french president live and made some historic points. He was alpha ^^
For me, this is THE song, there is nothing else better than this absolute masterpiece. Balavoine was an amazing composer and singer. We miss him so much.
Oh my ... his voice is so charming to listen to! It's like a caress to my ears. And this part at 2:00 is so sweet, so pure, so light! It's really something else. I LOVE IT!
Very intersting, thank you. Balavoine has sung with Frida (ABBA) in two songes : "Dieu que c'est beau" and "Belle". His songs "Sauver l'amour" or "Un enfant assis attend la pluie" or Vivre ou survivre" could please you too.
Daniel was a fan of Peter Gabriel and was heavily influenced by his music at the beginning of the 80s. He use the Fairlight like Peter used it for the first time on this 4the album. Daniel was even expecting to do a music collaboration with Peter. Our treasure. We missed him so much. Such a loss when he died accidentally in helicopter in Paris Dakar 86. I cry every time I listen to his masterpiece. Love this song. Doesn't age. You're right, it would have been a hit in England and America, perhaps with English translation sung by Daniel, he was able to sing in English. You have plenty of awesome songs from Daniel : Vivre ou survivre, Partie avant les miens, Le chanteur, Un homme assis attend la pluie, etc… But I considered this song as HIS BEST, and perhaps the best song from any French singer from that period (along with Michel Berger).
Every cry, each SOS Like a mad man goes to throw at sea Empty bottles, hoping maybe Somebody can read through them The SOS written with some air, To tell you that I feel alone, I am drawing, in blank ink, a desert. And I run, I am hanging on to life, And I get drunk on the noise Of people around me, Just like creepers tied into braids, Oblivious to the distress Of the words I throw. It's not that easy to call for help, Drowned in so many tragedies, And the teardrops tangled with stress Smother a bit more the cries of love Of the ones who live in weakness And, in their very last hope, disappear. And I run, I am hanging on to life, And I get drunk on the noise Of people around me, Just like creepers tied into braids, Oblivious to the distress Of the words I throw. Every cry, each SOS Goes up in the air, And leaves, in the water, A trace made beautiful by its foams. Caught in their vessel of glass, The messages struggle But the waves do bring them back As stardust scattered upon the rocks. And I picked up the splinters of glass, Put the pieces back together. And it was clear as water, There is no winning against the past. The heroes ought to be replaced In a world that hasn't yet Seen the best. And I run, I am hanging on to life, And I get drunk on the noise Of people around me, Just like creepers tied into braids, Oblivious to the distress Of the words I throw.

if you wnna hear a Daniel Balavoine super ahead of its time , almost experimental but radio frendly (at least for 1980 French radio and TV ) I highly recommand "Pour la Femme veuve qui s'éveille" ua-cam.com/video/Cmw6shyZEx4/v-deo.htmlsi=A1oxyCldK9uSlfs0 The ending is just Epic.. 💝!
Great song. The thing is, when understanding the lyrics behind the song it makes it even stronger and dramatic.
My favorite Balavoine song by far. So original for its time (1985), so unique. So sad also. No doubt for me, this is his best song. 👍
Yes best song with le chanteur

Hi ! D.Balavoine is a monument of the French music & and a great humanist . RIP Daniel !!

Daniel Balavoine wanted to work with Peter Gabriel.

Merci Daniel, je suis si fier d etre française parfois grace aux messages que tu as transmis..
Every cry, each SOS
Like a mad man goes to throw at sea
Empty bottles, hoping maybe
Somebody can read through them
The SOS written with some air,
To tell you that I feel alone,
I am drawing, in blank ink, a desert.
And I run, I am hanging on to life,
And I get drunk on the noise
Of people around me,
Just like creepers tied into braids,
Oblivious to the distress
Of the words I throw.
It's not that easy to call for help,
Drowned in so many tragedies,
And the teardrops tangled with stress
Smother a bit more the cries of love
Of the ones who live in weakness
And, in their very last hope, disappear.
And I run, I am hanging on to life,
And I get drunk on the noise
Of people around me,
Just like creepers tied into braids,
Oblivious to the distress
Of the words I throw.
Every cry, each SOS
Goes up in the air,
And leaves, in the water,
A trace made beautiful by its foams.
Caught in their vessel of glass,
The messages struggle
But the waves do bring them back
As stardust scattered upon the rocks.
And I picked up the splinters of glass,
Put the pieces back together.
And it was clear as water,
There is no winning against the past.
The heroes ought to be replaced
In a world that hasn't yet
Seen the best.
And I run, I am hanging on to life,
And I get drunk on the noise
Of people around me,
Just like creepers tied into braids,
Oblivious to the distress
Of the words I throw.

A trace made beautiful by its foams.

But the waves do bring them back
As stardust scattered upon the rocks.

It's not enough to listen and enjoy a song without understanding the lyrics.
merci c'est cool !
Love your reaction. Just a good cover by an american artist and it could truly become a hit in America ;)
You definitly have to translate it!! lyrics are so touchy!
Balavoine est un monstre
Song surely influenced by the english big hit of 1980 " everybody got to learn sometimes " by the korgis .
please put this song at my funerals..
