    I noticed by the end of the song when he screams "Mais oh" everybody repeats after him, however when he said "she's a hero" they all went silent and only one person screamed those words.

      It was intentional, all the crowd cried out 'Eh Oh!" at the end with him, but then only the sex workers sang 'She's a hero' with him, and then no one sang anything else with him after that.

    In the first verse, he speaks from the pov of a client, in the second one the pov of a pimp, and in the third one the pov of a cop. While in the chorus, he speaks from the pov of the son of a sex worker. You should definitely check him out, he is a true genius (and I bet you heard some of his songs in the past without knowing it was him, especially Alors on Danse).

      Also the name of the song is "Fils de joie", it's a reference to both the expression Fils de pute (means son of a bitch but can be litterally translated to son of a whore) and Fille de joie (which can litterally be translated as girl of joy but is an expression to talk about sex workers)

      I also want to add despite my lateness is that the prostitute herself does not have her pov added in because the world rarely asks for her opinion but everyone has an opinion on her. It was mentioned here: ua-cam.com/video/cgL1YXw4ENI/v-deo.html

    He's the most famous artist you've never heard of if you're in Britain or the USA. In many countries around the world he is a superstar (a term he actually doesn't like as he looks on his work as a job). Stromae who is Belgian, invented his own music genre. I highly recommend you go back 12 years to his Leçons, they were his innovative way of getting himself heard and look it worked as he became famous practically overnight with a song called "Alors On Danse" (so we dance). Stromae is known for his catchy tunes, serious and multi layered lyrics, genius theatrical designs for the performance of each piece on his tours (you should watch his "Racine Carrée" live from Montreal concert which was filmed by his brother Luc and is available on UA-cam. You won't regret that 1 hr 57 minutes. Stromae also designs clothing and is a cinematographer. I've been a fan for 12 years and missed him so much that I spent all last year listening and rewatching his videos, live concerts and interviews in French and English. Miraculously on Oct 15 2021 a countdown clock appeared on his YT channel and Sante appeared. Then earlier this year he was on the prime time French tv news and answered a question in the interview by suddenly singing L'enfer (Hell) while still sitting at the interview table. L'enfer is about suicidal thoughts. This goes back to his adverse reaction to the anti malarial drug, Lariam, which was given to him as a precaution while on the African part of his Racine Carrée concert tour. But as usual Stromae makes his lyrics so they apply to anyone rather than just himself.
    I highly recommend you look up Stromae (pronounced StroMy - it is Verlan, a French slang which reverses syllables, so it's actually Maestro in Verlan). He is Belgian, his Mum is a white Flemish lady and his father was a Rwandan Tutsi who was in Brussels at uni for architecture when he met Paul's mum (his real name is Paul Van Haver). Unfortunately, when Stromae was only 2 his father was pressured by his father who had financed his education in Belgium, to return to Rwanda to help build up the country. Tragically, in 1994 Stromae's Dad was murdered along with one million other Tutsi in the genocide there. He didn't know what had happened to his father for a some years as his mother didn't know how to tell him. That's where the song "Papaoutai" (Dad where are you " came from, though Stromae, ever humble, changed some of the lyrics so anyone who grew up without a father would identify with it.
    For a full explanation of this track "Fils de Joie" watch "Stromae: Multitude track by track " on UA-cam. There are English subtitles. He explains each track on the album. I highly recommend watching his evolution going back to his brilliant Les Leçons" 11 or 12 years which led to his first album "Cheese", then "Racine Carrée" and now "Multitude" Though he stopped his Leçons years ago I enjoyed your review very much. It's so great to hear someone new discover the magic of Stromae. I was involved in Classical music, Jazz, ballet and rock n roll. Never a rap fan really, but he isn't a rapper. Somehow a UA-cam rabbit hole led me to Stromae when "Cheese" was released and I couldn't be more grateful. I never tire of his music or his visuals. He really is a genius and his performances are unbelievably brilliant. He is very charismatic and charms any audience. This song is from 4 points of view the three verses are from 1. A client 2. A pimp, 3. A cop and the chorus is the son of the sex worker. Hope this helps.

    At first, he reproduce the typical speach of a customer, then of a pimp, then, of a cop. Between each verses, it's the point of view of a son who defend his mother to have the right to be respected. It's very subtle, even for a french person ^^. The recurrent topic of his new album particularly speaks about the dignity of the weaks, the "invisibles" workers, who everyone despise.

    I never usually watch reaction videos, but Stromae has a special place in my heart. Loved this video, particularly how you paused and replayed every bit that intrigued you and explained your thought process as you went. This will probably get lost in the comments, but just in case you find it useful: Fils de joie is pronounced 'feece duh jwah'. Literally, 'son of joy'; it's a play on words from a euphemism commonly used to refer to prostitutes ('fille de joie' = girls of joy/pleasure).

    • @yolennbrelet2188
      @yolennbrelet2188 2 роки тому

      More than "girls of joy", fille de joie could be translate by "daughters of joy". So "son of joy" is a dobble play on words on his statut of son of (daughter of) joy. At the end of thé song, Stromae says "Je suis un fils de pute, comme ils disent" it's translate by "I'm a son of whore, as they said". "Pute" is an other french word for sexual worker, so Stromae says again he's e son of a sexual worker but "fils de pute" is also a injuring expression translate by "son of a bitch" ! In the french text, Stromae use this play on words to express the two sens of the expression. Worderful song ans worderful artist

    Stromae is Belgian and half Rwandan. His vocals have a close resemblance to Jacques Brel but he also adds African beats. It's so unique. Fils de joie means son of joy.

    • @anabelle1508

      I think this song is more about fathers who are absent, they make children and disappear, leaving the child with questions and an empty feeling of missing his father growing up. I am French and this is how we understand this song, the title actually means « Papa où t’es ? » which is a familiar way to say « Dad where are you ? » The lyrics explain « Everybody know how to make babies but no one knows how to make daddies » Stromae said he barely knew his father and this is not related to the genocide, even if he did die during the genocide.

      Oui, il a expliqué maintes fois, que comme pour beaucoup de ses chansons, les prémices de l'histoire sont inspirées de sa vie personnelle, celle de son entourage, de la société qui l'entoure, mais qu'ensuite, il travaille le texte pour en faire quelque chose de moins personnel, de plus universel.
      Dans ses chansons, ça ne l'intéresse pas de parler de lui directement, il souhaite que les gens qui écoutent ses chansons puissent se les approprier. Pour ça il dépasse son expérience personnelle, il la transcende.
      C'était le cas pour Papaoutai, c'est le cas pour L'enfer : il y a un peu de lui dedans bien sûr, mais il y a surtout un peu de beaucoup d'autres. C'est ça qui l'intéresse.

    Great reaction!! Just a little info, after almost 8 years of absence, Stromae released a new album 'Multitude' with very interesting songs characterised with the use of all kind of (relatively) unknown instruments of all over the world. He wanted the listener not to be able to put a finger on what it is, and where the sounds are coming from (Asian, African, Latin American,...), a multitude of sounds... Concerning the vid, this was all filmed at Brussels (Parc de Cinquantenaire), with actually a big crowd and of course some CGI. He cooperated with the Belgian National Orchestra (leaded by Dirk Brossé) to have an original sound (cello, harpsichord), instead of all around synthesizer. The result is an amazing sound blend, like you say Slash/Slash/Slash composition. If you wanna listen and react to more (crazy) Stromae songs, try 'Quand C'est' (sounds like cancer, and talks about the disease), 'Papatouai' (about the absence of a father) and 'Carmen' (about social media addiction). Have fun, and greetings from Belgium.

    I don’t know if a similar comment has been posted about this before but I feel like one of the most impressive things about this song (and all his songs tbh) is the emphasis Stromae puts on pronunciation. Even though I’m French, it took me a couple of replays to really notice it.
    Take the French lyrics, and you’ll notice how harsh the pronunciation is when Stromae speaks with the voices of the client, the pimp, and the policeman.
    When he speaks to the people who look down on his mum, the tone is still harsh, but as the son talks to his mother, everything is much softer, smoother.
    Anyway, I loved your genuine reaction to this incredible song!

    This song is an art master class… the yardstick of artistry, the epitome and zenith of creativity.. The excellence, honor and virtue that flows from this song transcends inspiration. I just discovered Stromae today and I am inspired to be the greatest I can be in my field, atleast am no musician coz you just can’t come after him. This is a king god archangel piece of glorious art.

    The different verses are from the perspective of a pimp, a cop, a john and so on. The refrain is from the perspective of the sexworkers son.
    Take a look at his songs " l'enfer" about mental health and "tous les memes" where he sings from the perspective of both man and woman with a amazing video.
    He always mixes amazing videos and music with real gritty lyrics

    Stromae is a maestro. I recommend his concert in Montreal. You can watch it on UA-cam. Not just a concert, but un chef-d'œuvre, a masterpiece.

    Just accidentally came to your page, I am french living in Miami for over 20 years and it is amazing to hear you express your artistry and emotions while not even knowing/understanding the language. And this is WHAT music is supposed to do, to make you uncomfortable and yet so relatable to the energy behind each notes, and makes you want to have more and dip into that psyche to evolve your creativity, psyche and understanding of selfish expression while having an understanding oof the Art.
    Bravo. Just subscribed
    Much love

    Stromae is a genius, and I think the word you were looking for is Poetry. His music is nothing short of true poetry in music form. Tackling so many topics, from being the son of an immigrant to the loss of his father at an early age, he does it with such style and such art that I am always blown away, always! He was asked if he would ever do English music, and he said he does not speak it well enough to really say what he wants to say the way he likes to say it.
    He is a genius, I say again, and everyone should immerse themselves in the amazing beats and rhythms of Stromae.
    He is Belgian, by the way.

  • @lusocdn
    @lusocdn 2 роки тому +9

    I think he's just hooked you in - he is amazing!! The lyrics, the music, the emotion, YES the vocals and the sheer artistry of the visual - he is ...as you say inspiring, and with the lyrics translated from French and how much is lost in translation...makes you wish you knew exactly what the message really is... I don't speak a lick of FRENCH but I love Stromae and I know you will continue to be impressed - check out his earlier masterpieces - CARMEN, TOUS LES MEMES, FORMIDABLE there are so many-too many- and SANTE and ENFER from the new Album - and I'll watch you just get lost in his work!. Great review!

    To catch a glimpse of the genius that is Stromae, you could check out his previous tour "Racine Carrée" (translates to Square Root). Full concert is available on UA-cam. Highly recommended, not only for the great music, but also the visuals, lighting, ... the whole package. ua-cam.com/video/eOZLDQm9c2E/v-deo.html

    I'm happy you liked it and I hope you will try and discover more of his music!
