#danielbalavoine #lechanteur #balavoine #french80
Hi all welcome back to another video Dereck Reacts back at it again! This time around we take a look at request made possible by all of you with Daniel Balavoine "Le chanteur." This song is an instant hit! Fueled with brass instruments, sick keyboards and synths, bass and guitars. Balavoine goes bananas vocally and does his thing! Talk about vocal gymnastics! So catchy!

What an AMAZING song I cannot stress that enough! Man was genius, what shall be my next Balovoine reaction?!!😱

[matshovelkicker]

"J'veux mourir malheureux, pour ne rien regretter" This line came and hit me the day he died. Tragic

[MedusaLegend]

Ah, si seulement il avait la traduction des paroles en même temps… s’il avait réalisé ce qui se passait dans le dernier couplet.

[glambertini]

Naivety, megalomania, cynicism, religion, death, nostalgia... in this song Balavoine draws up a personnal vision of his professionnal environnement with a touching sensivity and hindsight, a masterpiece !

[arnaudpollet-thiollier]

The lyrics are the best thing in That song, expecially the end!!

[LordDaUK]

This song has everything: tune, emotions, build up, and of course those lyrics !

[nimocash]

Un non bilingue ne comprendra jamais toute la subtilité des paroles d'une chanson comme nous français on a beau lire les traductions des chansons anglaises on passe à côté des jeux de mots, du côté poétique, du phrasé, de toute la portée d'une chanson. C'est ainsi. Ne me quitte pas par exemple toutes les traductions du monde ne rendent pas justice au texte français. C'est très intéressant de voir Derek s'intéresser à l'instrumentation et la voix et après aux paroles. Si tu regardes les réacts des autres youtubeurs ils ne font même pas les efforts que fait dereck (sauf si les paroles sont inscrits directes sur la vidéo) de rechercher les paroles, quand ça a été écrit etc ils disent juste wow, belle voix et c'est tout. Dereck est de loin le plus intéressant de tous dans ce domaine.

Celle là elle donne toujours des frissons

[Camuska]

My favorite. "i want to die sad to regret nothing" is one of the most powerfull line i've ever heard in a song

[MrMrFearghal]

C'est le moment idéal pour enchaîner avec Michel Delpech - Quand j'étais Chanteur.

[juliefeuillet]

Dereck, now you are my favorite one... I asked you to react to this song so many times... THANK YOU!!! I love this song, I love the lyrics, I love his voice.... I never heard anyone make a cover of this song, and you know why? Because he's so high all the time that nobody can sing it... A friend of mine knew him, they were friends and he still cries thinking about him... He told me he was very shy... When they were going to dance, he was always at the bar because he was afraid to dance, the girls were looking at him all the time but he was so shy he never talked to them... He was a really nice person, real, always saying what he thought even if it was not what the others were thinking... He wrote and composed this song and then became famous, after "SOS d'un terrien en détresse" written for him... When he became rich after all the beautiful songs he wrote and sang, he gave a big part of his money for Africa to create more places for water... He was engaged, nice, had lot of humility... A big lost for us... Daniel, we miss you, you're still in our heart, for ever. Thank you Derek, really... Love 😔💝

[ben-csez]

"j'veux mourir malheureux pour ne rien regretter"... nice lyrics

[reynhart]

not the biggest fan of Balavoine but this one is a pure gem : composition, melody and lyrics. " I want to die miserable for have nothing to regret " Come on ! that's brilliant for a mainstream hit-song

[michaelromeo]

"Dieu que c'est beau beau" ( Big Hit on Radio till this day.) I love the fretless bass sound in this song and the 80's synths.
"Pour la femme veuve qui s'éveille"❗❗(Crazy synths ahead of its time with superb finish..)Love the african singing at the End💖.

[thebeestwin]

Hi Dereck !
So interesting to see how you instantly appreciated that song as somewhat of a joyful song, because of the upbeat tempo, the strong vocals, and the rich instrumentation... while the passion in this one comes from absolute desperation.
This is probably one of his most tragic songs. We french are so familiar with the lyrics that we forget the genius of the contrast between the content and the music.
It is a bit sad though that you can't totally grasp the beauty of his writing... you would love his work even more ! 😉

[TWD]

It's really interesting how this song starts with a second-degree, almost ironic tone, and progressively slips into tragic, and ever more so. The tragic and megalomaniac dream was (probably) supposed to be a mirror of his times - how worse do we stand nowadays ? This sort of lyrical construction is very reminiscent of David Bowie, to me, or La Maison Borniol by Hubert-Félix Thiéfaine.

[dina-ysxf]

your enthusiasm is so refreshing and your smile contagious 😊✨

[myriamharzallah]

La plus belle voix de tout les temps qu est ce que Daniel nous manque❤

[albanbassuet]

It’s very touching to hear you comment on these 80s french songs. Very emotional for those of us you grew up with them. Thank you.
