Hello ! Your analyst of the video was really interesting ! Stromae made a video 1 month ago where he explained the music video if you want to see it :) keep it up
Perhaps you have heard this before. This song is about his father, that was missing in his life. His Belgium mother had Stromae with a Rwandese father. When he was young: his father was killed in the massacres between Hutu's and Tutsi's in Rwanda. His mother could not tell the little boy. So she made up a story about his father being a traveling business man. Why is life so tragic... I think there is a correlation between excellent art and suffering. Somehow: the more the artist has suffered: the deeper the music.
Stromae a perdu son père lors du massacre des Tutsi au Rwanda. En 1994. Stromae n’a que 9 ans. Quand il entre dans une pièce «les conversations s’arrêtent», les visages sont graves, les larmes coulent. Le jeune enfant comprend rapidement que quelque chose ne tourne pas rond, qu’un événement grave vient de se dérouler. Mais il ne dit rien. Il ne sait pas encore que son père, Pierre, vent d’être assassiné, avec 800.000 autres Tutsi, par les hommes de la garde présidentielle. Il ne connaîtra la vérité que trois ans plus tard…
Bonjour, votre analyse est tout simplement magistrale !!!.....il faut une vraie sensibilité pour la déchiffrer de cette façon ! J'ai adoré vous écouter.....et réagir ...avec cette philosophie et émotion....merci pour ce moment. 😊
And his first music video with “Formidable” where he pretend to be drunk in the streets of Brussels. That music video was made as an hidden camera video all other people in the video is normal people in the streets even the Police coming to talk to him
Your interpretation of Papaoutai is beautiful. I saw it as young Stromae watching other kids learn about their parents' cultural heritage. And on the other hand young Stromae can't because his African father isn't there. The way each family danced resembled various cultural styles of dance and martial arts. When young Stromae is dancing he is actually incorporating some African dances as a way to reconnect with that missing part of his life.
I’m french and I’ve heard this song so many times, it’s really famous and ABSOLUTELY everyone knows it in France. It’s interesting to see the interpretation from another culture Great video 👍
You really interpreted EVERYTHING so well, some of things I never even noticed until you said it now, happy you reacted to this, stromae is an amazing artist!
It was the most meaningful Stromae´s reaction video. Everyone that I watched didn´t pay attention to the details like you did! Congratulations!! I really enjoyed your remarks!!! You´re doing a great job 😊😊
I was ready to defend Belgium's honor but then you popped the chocolates and your analysis was so amazing I'm not angry anymore 😅 Your opinion on the visuals is really interesting! Have you heard "L'Enfer" ? It's my favourite from his last album and the lyrics are painfully golden. His last album is all about loneliness and feeling estranged from others. It's so sad but yet so relatable in the "post-"COVID context, it's really worth a careful listen. 👌
Got on this video randomly while procrastinating and I was surprised how refreshing it was to see your reaction and thought process! I love that you do not just react one-sidedly amazed or shocked but show us your regular, but intelligent thoughts
Stromae wrote this song because his father, who was a Rwandan architectural student in Brussels when he met Stromae’s mother, a Flemish lady, left her and Paul (Stromae’s real name”) when he was 2 to go back to Rwanda. When Stromae was 9, having never had much interaction with his father and was never recognized officially by him, his father was murdered during the Tutsi genocide in 1994. Stromae was 9, but he never knew what happened to his dad until he was 12. How do you explain that your father was hacked to death with one million other Tutsi in a genocidal mass murder to a child? Stromae said the first version of this song was much angrier, he never had the chance to get to know his dad. But he is a very humble person and said he rewrote it because he is not important, he wanted to reach anyone who grew up with an absent father. I hope this helps, if you didn’t know his history. I enjoyed your interpretation immensely. Intelligent and sensitive. Thank you!
I've watched many many reactions to this clip and this one is the best by far. Thanks for taking the time and being so analytical. You gave this masterpiece the respect it deserves.
Your analysis of the video gave me literally goosebumps. Thank you for sharing your deep thoughts. I like that you even had the belgium sweets. 🙂 Angéle is also a singer from belgium and she has beautiful songs in french. Maybe you could do a reaction to one of her songs one day. I would recommend "Balance ton quoi".
Il est souvent dit que l’art, peut toucher, peut être compris au-delà de la langue, de la couleur de peau. L’art transcende les frontières et les barrières telles qu’elles soient: en voilà un exemple! Merci pour cette vidéo. I really appreciated this content! 👌🏽💐
From Germany, i love Stromae, and other french language music. He es from Belgium. Your video interpretation is first class intelligent. Thank you so much
Your analysis was fun and spot on! Honestly, I speak french and had the tendency to focus on the lyrics, so I hadn't really interpreted the video like now with you so thanks...
Oh wow thank you so much for reacting to Stromae i'm french and i'm glad that you reacted to a belgian artist👏👏👏Stromae is one of the best artist his themes songs are inspired by reality and daily life problems and how he play with words made his songs even better🥰🥰please react to Soprano✨another french artist and his song HIRO ft Indila🙏🙏i think you're gonna cry and getting emotional🥺🥺
hello, I was amazed by your interpretation which was very good. I really like your content and I recommend that you also react to other Stromaé music such as ''Tous les meme" and "Fils de joie". Thank you
Very good interpretation, from what Stromae has said, refers to an absent father and the permanent desire to have him, the question where is your dad? it is what the little ones without a father suffer, it is the question of other children, it is the doubt of many children without a father. The last thing is just what you say and that often happens, history repeats itself, as a pattern to follow, just as children followed their parents. Thank you for the respect with which you treat Stromae's work
Imo the interpretation of the end would be that the absence of the boy's father in the video means that it would be a vicious cycle. Noone to learn from, so he himself would eventually become an absent father. That's my take. Glad you enjoyed the video. I think you'll love *Tous le meme and Alor en danse* 😭💜
I’m a French speaker and know this song from years ago but I never listened to someone trying to understand what lies within the song. I was really surprised to find this video and actually watch a Korean speaker analyses the clip and lyrics so well ! (PS : I don’t speak Korean so thank you for adding subtitles)
Enfin! Merci pour cette vidéo. J'adore Stromae et je suis ravi que tu as adoré aussi. Please i hope you react to more french songs. Love from Cameroon. 😍 You might want to try: Soprano, Dadju, Ninho, Vitaa and Tayc and another Stromae song titled TOUS LES MÊMES.
Whoa, this is such a good look at the clip & the song! I don't think I've ever seen an analysis this detailed on it before. I love it! Well done! And thank you, too, for making the analysis and also for bringing this song back to my attention again. I forgot how much I love this song. :)
Thank you for reacting to Stromae, I really like Stromae's songs. As Belgian, I like seeing people from all over the world enjoying and loving his songs! If you want to react to more Belgian songs, you can listen to Loic Nottet : Mr/Mme (in french) , Millions eyes (in english), 29 (in english). He is a great danser too.
stromae has been one of my favourite artists ever since i was 15! i studied french in high school and music helped me. please react to more of his videos from this album as well as his new one that he released earlier this year!
Wow, I really love your analysis of this song! I'm a French-speaking Belgian, and this song always gets me in the feels and makes me cry. Thank you for sharing your reaction!
You made a very good and accurate analysis of this song ! Even pick some details I haven't notice. Good job ! Stromae often used catchy music, and dancing rythm, but the lyrics are sad.
so many clever and insightful reflections! seriously I don’t think I had noticed half the things you mentioned back when I first watched the mv- super nice video, keep it up 🍀
Merci pour cette belle réaction sur Stromae et d'avoir respecter mon pays , la Belgique , petit clin d’œil aux chocolats belge J'aime beaucoup ton analyse continue comme ça 😊😊😊
Stromae puts the ART in artist. Not just musically, but also visually, literary etc. He really is a maestro, probably the greatest artist of the era. And a beautiful, kindhearted person. You're reactions are on point!
Small correction, Stromae is Belgian, from Brussels and not French. An artist who always knew how to dare to renew himself and do unusual things. A few years ago he made a music video where he pretended to be really drunk and I loved it ("Formidable" in the tram station).He has a rather difficult personal journey and is a very courageous person.
Paul Van Haver ( better known by his stage name Stromae (French pronunciation: [stʁɔmaj][1]), is a Belgian singer Paul Van Haver was born in Brussels and raised in the city's Laeken district, to a Rwandan Tutsi father, Pierre Rutare, and a Flemish mother, Miranda Van Haver. He and his siblings were raised by their mother, as his father, an architect, was killed during the 1994 Rwandan genocide,
I love alot of stromaes music. The part where the dad is with his son who looks a little lost with his father dancing, where looks like the son may not want to dance but I see it as more of like a mentoring scene like teaching his son something, teaching his son how to dance and is helping him correct it. Like how when you are first learning something as a kid its supposed to be your parents who are teaching you and helping you learn and correct your mistakes like when riding a bike or learning how to do things yourself as you get older and how he did not have that mentor growing up where a father would be. Which is kinda what I also had as kid growing up, single mom raising two with both fathers out of the picture to also be there as like a second mentor.
subscribed and liked, you have great empathy, your understanding of what Stromae is singing about is remarkable, Stromae's father died in the 1994 Tutsi Genocide in Rwanda
Stromae was 9, like the kid in the video, when his father was killed in the Rwanda genocide. What did his mother tell him, and as a kid what question where asked at the Belgium schools, when they flew from Rwanda and immigrated in Belgium?… This is definitely about the father loss and seek, and about becoming a grown up and a father, question that were struggling him at the time he wrote this song. And yes, it is sad, even heartbreaking, as most of Stromae’s songs. ❤😢❤
Only by looking/watching the video and no other information about the person, I would say: you are a genius. I feel only a great sadness in his voice. Maybe you are right, I like the way you have analyzed it, and thank you for it.
Really pertinent analysis ! I think the clip has multiple (2 mains) ways of interpretations: firstly, knowing that Stromae ‘s father died in Africa ,during the Rwandese genocide, and his family hided it to the young stromae, can let us understand that the kid grows without a father , he hopes his return but it’s just an illusion. But the idea of the communication is really good too, I think he told in an interview about the double sense (physical and social absence of the father)
Stromae is Rwando-Belgian, and this video is about his Rwandan dad who was killed during the 1994 Tutsi Genocide in Rwanda, which killed 75% of Tutsi people in 3 months.
what a brilliant interpretation of this videoclip! I don't know if he made that clip thinking about that but one thing is sure it's that the relationship with is father was nearly inexistant if I remember correctly. you're fantastic!
Ton interprétation est génial ! La dernière fois que j'ai regardé ce clip j'étais très jeune donc même ci je connaissais le sens de ce clip, il y'a plein de détail que je n'avais pas remarqué. J'ai véritablement redécouvert le clip grâce à toi ! Merci 🙂
Stromae is a legend. He's really so amazing. The lyrics of his songs constantly question society. It leads us to a deep reflection. There is a lot of great Stromae discography, he came to fame since 2009. I recommend: "Fils de joie" and "Carmen". Thank you for your analysis, very careful, I was pleasantly surprised because I admire Stromae a lot, from his musical beginnings.
I always get upset when my friends talk about their families ans fathers. I can handle this feeling, but I know my younger twins sibling are more upset. And we never talk about it because we don't know how to talk, how to comfort each other. I cry every time I listen to this song..
Your insightful reaction and breakdown of this song literally brought me to tears. I love this song and have listened to many reactions; some pretty good at putting a name to the meaning within the song and others who completely missed it. Your reaction is the best and most insightful of any of the others. If you'd like to be introduced to a different type of music, the group Pentatonix did a cover of this song. They made it not quite as sad, but their rendition is excellent with fabulous harmonies.
The story behind the song is quite sad actually. Stromae lost his dad during the genocide of Rwanda. This song is about him lacking a dad figure in his life when he was growing up
Stromae lost his father at a young age it is sad but he just turns it into music and that gives me goosebumps everything mine i listen and perform with his music
I'm French, lucky me to understand what he says without searching the translation :) You should listen to "L'enfer". He talks about the depression he fought and it's very powerful to me. It's my favourite song because I have depression and it makes me fell kind of less lonely.
The song is about having an absent father, watching everyone else with their relationships with their parents. In the end, you end up turning into your parents.
First, excuse my bad english, I'm French 🙂 I discovered your channel with this title of Stromae. And I'm amazed, because I've seen a lot of reaction videos on "Papaoutai", and I have to admit, despite your age, and the fact that you don't know the story of Stromae, that it's the one that is the smartest, finest, that I have seen. I loved your reaction. I would love for you to react to more of his tracks, Stromae is such a talented artist, who has a lot of wonderful tracks, and it would be nice to see your reactions. Especially for : " Quand c'est " " Tous les mêmes " " Carmen " " Santé " " L'enfer " " Fils de joie " Looking forward to seeing your reactions.
It's really impressive as a not french speaker you interpreted so much from the video. I always feel like Stromae's songs can be so hard to get for non-french speaker because he plays with words and their multiple meanings in french but you proved me wrong.

I was thinking the same thing in french. Impressiv reaction! Greetings from Belgium🇧🇪🍀🍀🍀

J'ai adoré vous écouter.....et réagir ...avec cette philosophie et émotion....merci pour ce moment. 😊
Complètement d’accord, j’avais les larmes aux yeux !
Stromae is amazing! You should react to "Je Cours, and also the new ones "L'enfer" and "Fils de joie", those are FANTASTIC 👍🏻👌🏻
YES i second this
And his first music video with “Formidable” where he pretend to be drunk in the streets of Brussels. That music video was made as an hidden camera video all other people in the video is normal people in the streets even the Police coming to talk to him
And alors on dance that’s my favo song
Your interpretation of Papaoutai is beautiful. I saw it as young Stromae watching other kids learn about their parents' cultural heritage. And on the other hand young Stromae can't because his African father isn't there.

His Rwandan father was killed when Stromae was younger during the 1994 Tutsi Genocide in Rwanda
i think the clothes are in the color of vlags of different countries.

Another Stromae song you could react to is «Tous les mêmes» the video clip is very interesting and well-made
Stromae is a legend.
He's really so amazing.
The lyrics of his songs constantly question society. It leads us to a deep reflection.
There is a lot of great Stromae discography, he came to fame since 2009.
I recommend: "Fils de joie" and "Carmen".
Thank you for your analysis, very careful, I was pleasantly surprised because I admire Stromae a lot, from his musical beginnings.
I always get upset when my friends talk about their families ans fathers. I can handle this feeling, but I know my younger twins sibling are more upset. And we never talk about it because we don't know how to talk, how to comfort each other.
I cry every time I listen to this song..
ВАУ
Твоя точка зрения потрясающая! Полностью соответствует с моим представлением этой песни!
Such a wonderful interpretation!
You did an amazing reaction and got each and every nuance to the video. Bonne soirée à vous! SUBSCRIBED!!
Your insightful reaction and breakdown of this song literally brought me to tears. I love this song and have listened to many reactions; some pretty good at putting a name to the meaning within the song and others who completely missed it. Your reaction is the best and most insightful of any of the others. If you'd like to be introduced to a different type of music, the group Pentatonix did a cover of this song. They made it not quite as sad, but their rendition is excellent with fabulous harmonies.
Excellent analysis of Papaoutai ! Stromae is an exceptional singer and artist
Thank you for reacting to Stromae!!
I love your video, I’m glad you enjoyed the music from a talentful singer as him
Great analysis!!
Amazing that Stromae is so well known in South Korea!
The story behind the song is quite sad actually. Stromae lost his dad during the genocide of Rwanda. This song is about him lacking a dad figure in his life when he was growing up
I love Belgian chocolate.
best analysis reaction video i’ve seen
ayyyy you listened to my recommendationnnn
Yes,thank you for react Papaoutai,merci merci beaucop.Can you react Indilla,derniere danse?France music too.💖✨
Stromae lost his father at a young age it is sad but he just turns it into music and that gives me goosebumps everything mine i listen and perform with his music
I'm French, lucky me to understand what he says without searching the translation :)
You should listen to "L'enfer". He talks about the depression he fought and it's very powerful to me. It's my favourite song because I have depression and it makes me fell kind of less lonely.
The song is about having an absent father, watching everyone else with their relationships with their parents. In the end, you end up turning into your parents.
BEST REACTION ABOUT THIS SONG !!!
Such an on point analysis despite this being from a foreign country👌 Even some French people didn’t get all those details like you did
I love the way you analyzed the music video, wow!
First, excuse my bad english, I'm French 🙂
I discovered your channel with this title of Stromae.
And I'm amazed, because I've seen a lot of reaction videos on "Papaoutai", and I have to admit, despite your age, and the fact that you don't know the story of Stromae, that it's the one that is the smartest, finest, that I have seen. I loved your reaction.
I would love for you to react to more of his tracks, Stromae is such a talented artist, who has a lot of wonderful tracks, and it would be nice to see your reactions.
Especially for :
" Quand c'est "
" Tous les mêmes "
" Carmen "
" Santé "
" L'enfer "
" Fils de joie "
Looking forward to seeing your reactions.
It's really impressive as a not french speaker you interpreted so much from the video. I always feel like Stromae's songs can be so hard to get for non-french speaker because he plays with words and their multiple meanings in french but you proved me wrong.
