C'est vrai qu'entendre "Tous les cris les SOS" pour la première fois ça doit être incroyable ! On se prend la puissance de la chanson, de ce travail titanesque en pleine face.
Yes surtout la manière dont il a composé le morceau c est un des précurseurs de la mao en france cet homme encore en vie il aurait fait des instrus de malade dans le milieu rap, cette chanson est un chef d oeuvre un ocean d émotion
Balavoine ....😪😪 il nous manque tellement, ce mec avait tout .. rébellion, cœur immense , voix unique ... j avais 10 ans lors de sa mort qui m a marquée..
J’avais le même âge et je m’en souviens très bien. Ma tante pleurait... “Le Chanteur” et “Mon fils ma bataille” ont étrangement marqué la petite fille que j’étais. Balavoine for ever. ❤️
C est vraiment touchant de voir un jeune Américain, qui plus est, découvrir et s’émouvoir sur un morceau qui fait tellement partie de ma culture que je n’avais presque plus conscience d’à quel point il était beau ! Merci à toi !
Always loved Balavoine because you can feel that he sings with his guts and all of his soul... Goosebumps for me too ! Honestly i wish he performed on a metal album... I can imagine him singing along with Sortilège ;) 37 y o french metalhead
If you discover his amazing voice you have to listen to his “message d’un terrien en détresse” where he’s covering 2.5 octaves in the chorus. Definitely a monument in France regrettably lost in an accident in 1986.
I'm a 25 yo French. This song gives me goosebumps as no other song. I really love Balavoine even if I don't hear him a lot. What a singer, what an impressive men. Most beautiful thing in this world are always too short.
Non seulement la performance vocale, mais également le sens profond des textes engagés font de Daniel Balavoine l'une des figures légendaire de la chanson française. Il a eu une mort épouvantable qui a laissé toute une nation endeuillée.
Dereck, you absolutely have to read a translation of the lyrics while listening : it'll break your heart for sure ! This is all talking about Mankind throwing tears through Space ! As a french born in the 70s, I growed up listening to Balavoine at the radio and TV, before his tragic death in 1986. :'(
Sa mort a été une perte irremplaçable pour l'essor de la musique française, un sale stop et je ne pense pas qu'un jour quelqu'un lui arrivera a la cheville
C'est un chanteur que nous regrettons, nous, pauvres français. Il n'avait pas sa langue dans sa poche. Il avait des convictions et s'y tenait. Merci de partager ça avec tes compatriotes. La musique est universelle. GBY

I am Brazilian and I completely fell in love with the voice and music of this great French singer, he is simply my favorite singer, I identify a lot with what he writes, he is the best, great reaction is how I always get goosebumps when listen to this work of art!!❤️
I love Balavoine, and I'm french, please can you heard "Dalida - Mourir sur scène" it's the best 1980 singer, in this song, she sing his Death Wish (because she was alone). Sorry for my English, but can you send me what you think about this song? Thanks
Daniel was out of this world. Unfortunately he died in 86 at the age of 33 in an helicopter crash in the desert during the "Paris-Dakar race"... He was there for a humanitarian cause, Install water pumps in the desert..... Daniel Balavoine is also the first singer to have sung "SOS d'un terrien en détresse" covered by Dimash.
He died 35 years ago, he's still a top 3 favorite singer in France And this song is his best by far imo.The way he talks about depression and suicide is incredible. And his voice is beautiful and full of emotions We miss him a lot
I too have a preference for Mon fils ma bataille. He has lots of great songs and was involved in humanitary actions (where he lost his life in an helicopter crash in Africa).
I love him ! I was 6 when he died, I was shoking because he was a great Human. He sang engaged songs like : Lady Marlène (about the Berlin Wall) "Un enfant assis attend la pluie" (this song talk about african child), etc...
Daniel Balavoine est un monument de la chanson française respecté par tous ici. C'était aussi un artiste très engagé politiquement, un grand artiste au destin malheureusement tragique, il est mort en pleine gloire dans un accident d'hélicoptère durant un Paris Dakar. Merci de l'avoir fait découvrir.
@@MrPOKER725 C'est ce que j'allais dire. La version de Balavoine est belle, sans aucun doute. Mais celle de Grégory Lemarchal a une puissance folle. Dereck, clearly, listen to both versions of SOS d'un terrien en détresse.
@@TheNessange Que vous ne soyez pas d'accord avec moi, aucun problème. Mais de là à dire "n'importe quoi", non. Tout est une question de sensibilité. Me concernant, je trouve que, même si la version de Balavoine est déjà très puissante, celle de Grégory Lemarchal l'est encore plus.
This is a "text" song, Balavoine was a writing jeweler, an emotion creator and experience sharer. This song must have saved hundreds, thousands of lives, it's the song that draws and screams the thin line between life and eternal darkness. This song is a lifeline. Find a translation if you can and hold on to it along Daniel's voice.
Cette chanson me fait monter les larmes aux yeux à chaque fois. A CHAQUE FOIS ! Ce héros de ma jeunesse, il disait tout ce que je ne pouvais/savais pas dire... Belle réaction. Merci. 🙏
@@LLseballade I think they went to the top alone then went down alone. But IMHO Daniel got something that could have inspired a lot of French singers to improve/change the French music styles... Unfortunately nowadays french singers seem to sing for France only. That's very small as a career vision. Let's thank Stromae and Aya Nakamura...
RUclips sent me here, I'm happily surprised to find Balavoine's song being analysed/enjoyed outside of France. Yep, no auto tune, amazing voice, amazing lyrics. I was very young when he died but I do remember France going still for a while. It is actually bringing tears to my eyes
As a French native I’m deeply touched by this song, it is part of the French musical history for sure. This is very 80’s spirit and style. Good on ya for the choice 👍
YESSSSSS DERECK !!!!! Daniel Balavoine was one of the most famous french artist of all the times. His lyrics are so important. you can look "Sauver L'amour", "l'Aziza", "Mon fils, ma bataille", " SOS d'un terrien en détresse", "vivre ou survivre" and so many more... YESSSSSS DERECK
j'avais 3 ans lorsqu'il est décédé mais il a toujours fait parti de mon univers musical ma maman était fan et cette chanson j'ai toujours les larmes aux yeux... un grand artiste
Je pense que cette chanson met tout le monde d'accord. Peu importe le style musical que tu kiff, tous les cris des SOS sera toujours LA chanson qui te donne des frissons tellement elle est incroyable vocalement
C'est vrai mais il y en a quand même beaucoup d'autres. Pour n'en citer que quelques unes : Mercy Street de Peter Gabriel, Dreamer de Toni Childs, Easter de Marillion...
Well he probably knows the English version already. Starmania has been translated in English. For information, Daniel Balavoine is the first (and best) Johnny Rockford ;)
@@senaluffyzoro I love Balavoine in general but as far as Johnny Rockfort goes, I think Bruno Pelletier did an absolutely stellar performance. He definitively set the standard for that role as far as Im concerned. The only guy I would have seen do better is Chris Cornell, and he's dead now - not that he would ever have performed in Tycoon anyway, but oh well. Maybe next time it'll be a woman in the cast and they can hire Olivia Rodrigo! 😬 _Oh the times, they are a-changin'_
One of the many gems by this artist considered a legend in France. His voice was very special and he was very generous. This man was still fighting for justice and the day of his tragic helicopter crash was a huge trauma in his country ...
J'ai des frissons !! J'adore ce chanteur, les 3 amis qui sont si vite partis ! Michel Berger, Daniel Balavoine et France Gall ! Merci mec, la prochaine fois essaies Grégory Lemarchal 😉 un chanteur qui est décès si jeune 😪
Yes, i'm french and have grown with his songs... but... when i heard this, you know, 30 years later, i still feel it into my spine... then he is a hero... he died in a stupid copter crash when he was on a humanist tour accross Africa, giving and installing them water pumps. A beautifull guy with uncommon sense of music and voice. Thank you
He wasn't doing the race, some of his friends do. He do this humanitarian action during the race to get a biggest audiance to his cause. Sad loose for us
@@kavalou4799Yes indeed he died during the Paris-Dakar race, but he wasn't racing. He was ambassador for a humanitarian orgainsation, bringin water pumps for people in the desert, using the race's logictics. The day he died in Mali, he had been negociating with a local gouvernor to let the convoy pass that was blocked by the authorities
Daniel Balavoine, my entire teenage years. I remember when I heard the news about his death, I had this cold, stuck at home, complainging to my friend about being sick when I heard the news. I burst into tears. I couldn't believe it. Balavoine, Berger and Goldman, the musical heroes of my teenage years.
It was a complete shock. I remember it very well. You could hardly believe it. It seemed impossible that a man with such vitality and promiss could just "die". And in some ways, he has not. The songs he gave us live on, a testament to his extraordinary musicianship and creativity. I recently watched a video of him explaining how he was creating this very song on his computer (in 84!!!!) Fabulous to hear his creative process. And who can listen to "Partir avant les miens" without crying, considering what happened? Tu nous manques beaucoup, Daniel.
C’est un super artiste, des textes magnifiques, une voix puissante. C’est un monument en France et j’avoue être contente qu’il soit encore apprécié aujourd’hui

Man, you are listening to one of the best French singers. He wrote and composed almost all of his songs. He is deeply missed because he was also a wonderdul soul. A legend.
Balavoine is an absolute reference for Frenchies like me who were teenagers in the 80's (they still listen to it these days, when they don t care for rap and cheap pop by the way!) - nice to see it appreciated abroad, good share, mate :)
Like a madman is going to throw into the sea Empty bottles and then hope That we can read through S.O.S. Written with air To tell you that I feel lonely I draw in empty ink A desert And i run I'm hanging on to life I get drunk with the noise Bodies that surround me Like lianas tied in braids Without understanding the distress Words that I send Difficult to call for help When so many dramas oppress us And the tears tied with stress stifle the cries of love a little more Of those who are in weakness And in a last hope Disappear And i run I'm hanging on to life I get drunk with the noise Bodies that surround me Like lianas tied in braids without understanding the distress
Acceptable translation : you can scroll also lyricstranslate.com/en/tous-les-cris-les-sos-every-cry-each-sos.html 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'm hanging on to life, I'm getting drunk on the noise Of the bodies around me, Just like creepers tied in braids, Oblivious to the distress Of the words that I throw. It's not 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 a final hope, dissolve. And I run, I'm hanging on to life, I'm getting drunk on the noise Of the bodies around me, Just like creepers tied in braids, Oblivious to the distress Of the words that I throw. Chorus: Every cry, each SOS Vanishes in the air, Leaving, in the water, a trace Made so beautiful by its foams. Caught in their vessel of glass, The messages struggle But the waves do bring them back As stardust upon the rocks. And I picked up the splinters, Put the pieces back together. Everything was clear as water, There's no winning against the past. The heroes ought to be replaced In a world where the best is Yet to be done. And I run, I'm hanging on to life, I'm getting drunk on the noise Of the bodies around me, Just like creepers tied in braids, Oblivious to the distress Of the words that I throw. Chorus: (x2) Every cry, each SOS Vanishes in the air, Leaving, in the water, a trace Made so beautiful by its foams. Caught in their vessel of glass, The messages struggle But the waves do bring them back As stardust upon the rocks.
@@marieline23 Be careful. Yes, many people say that. But, nobody can prove it... (like the accidentally death of Coluche 😪) I absolutely don't say it's false. Even now, we don't really knows what happened. The official version is a bad condition in the desert (night and sand wind), helicopter was flying fast and low in the way of red light of a race car, and tragedy is coming because of a sand dune. Also, supposed a mistake fire by soldiers in the conflict, because the helicopter is flying near military group's air space. Also, an emergency take-off because of snake bite. And last controversial theory, the organiser of Paris Dakar, Thierry Sabine take the command of the helicopter. Excusez mon anglais ;) You can translate this page.

@gokeiSamhada Don't throw that on the table like it's a hard fact, especially because they have no idea why Balavoine would even be worth considered as a target.
Cette chanson est ma préférée depuis toute petite. Mon papa la chantait on la chantait ensembles dans la voiture.. Ça me fait vraiment plaisir que tu l'apprécie autant. Merci
One of the most, or the most French singer of the 80's. His song are so aerial, depuis, and his voice is just heavenly!!! Thank's for triste vidéo. Merci Dereck!!!!! 😉
I'm a french and grow-up with this period of singers like D.Balavoine, this track is intense, beginning of the music is very similar of the work of Peter Gabriel for his production of the great album of Birdy, the beautiful & poetic Alan Parker movie. Especially Quiet & Alone released in 1985.
Daniel Balavoine, mon chanteur préféré depuis que j'ai 5 ans. La voix, les textes et les mélodies les plus émouvantes que je connaisse. Un monument de la chanson française.
merci d'avoir écouter Daniel, il avait une voix magnifique et était une personne très engagée dans mon pays. Son engagement lui à couter la vie sur le rally Paris-Dakar. Thanks and god bless him .
He's one of the French artists that I would love to meet if he was still alive, he even died helping for a good cause. This song gives me goosebumps almost crying guys. I learned this song as a lot of French kids in music class. Such a great classic.
For your information, Daniel was the FIRST singer of SOS (covered by Dimash), in 1979 in the best french musical STARMANIA where he was one of the principal characters.
The musical part is so modern, so ahead of its time. So unique too. His high voice and the deep lyrics made it a masterpiece. Its so sad though, but my favorite Balavoine's song by far 💕
when you listen this song and you understand french, you cry, for all the memories there is in this song, because of all you remember when you listen to it. I was born in 1981 and just listening this voice makes tear coming... and just for information, the man that sing was just a beautiful person. if only u could understand the words :)
Daniel was one of the best, tragic death... He was politically "angry" and did a lot to try to change mentalities. He was a good guy. Et did quite some gems... "Lady Marlene" is one of them. He also was part of the opera rock "Starmania" (Tycoon in English), and sang "SOS d'un terrien en detresse"... A huge hit with a high amplitude of notes.
Yes ! I was going to ask if someone told Dereck Balavoine was the original interpret of "SOS d'un terrien en détresse"! I'm so happy right now, I hope there will be other reactions about him 😊
Endless, Dereck. There's a before and an after this song. more than a song, a temple. Those streams at the end, the bass, the colors. And you Dereck, in French we would say that you are "une éponge à émotions", " a sponge for emotions", but I don't think the image could work in English, but it's a compliment. You absorb musical emotions and you recreate them on the screen, and you do it so good, it's a pleasure !
ah finally Dereck, you discover daniel balavoine, one of the greatest of the 80s but still today! if he had not died in a helicopter accident in full glory and still in full rise, I am convinced that today he would be THE benchmark of French song. he is the one and only singer of "sos d'un terrien en détresse". all his soul is in this song and noone equal him.
he was a text singer, always a meaning in all his songs, a militant for human & women rights...you should listen to "L'Aziza" a song he wrote for his wife :)
Glad you liked it - Balavoine was fantastic. His nickname was "crystal voice". He was one of the first to introduce the electronic keyboard sounds in France. His texts are extremely poetic and progressists.
La magie du synthé et du Fairlight Le texte pur qui dégage une sincérité Que dire de la voix ? De l'aigu puissant en voix pleine Balavoine balance ses octaves sans forcer Respect. Inoubliable
this song is very basic and incredible, in french school I've learned this song, and since now everytime I heard it I'm like "TOUT LES CRIS LES SOS" that's really an incredible song, cool to see american see french song, there's a lot more french music that are incredible, don't remember the name, and honnestly those singers deserve what they have now because they're talented each in a way.
Daniel Balavoine was a genius. He was one of the first who made music with a computer in France. And it was just Amazing. His lyrics are so deep. Died when 36 years old only. Such a loss for the World, really.
The covers never surpassed the emotion of the original song. My mom loved him and he died around her birthday. My dad got her the album as a gift. I spent hours listening to it. I learned the lyrics by heart.
@@mlbo5860 Peut être pas de là à dire que c'est stupide, parce que bon, des comédie musicales américaines il y en a de très très trrrrrrrès bonnes . Mais oui, Starmania est hors catégorie aussi à mes yeux ;) Quand dans une comédie musical presque toutes les chansons sont cultes, c'est que vraiment, c'est de qualité. En meme temps Michel Berger quoi.... :D
@@brandyalexander2077 stupide dans le sens : l'histoire du show et sa morale. Tandis que (la plupart ) des comédies musicales américaines sont fixés sur des synopsis très "Romeo et Juliette " (2 familles ennemies, histoire d'amour impossible ) Starmania c'est une critique de la société de consommation, du capitalisme, de ce vers quoi on tend, de la dictature qui s'impose petit a petit, des différentes classes sociales etc...tout ça en 1979 😦 bon sang ils ont visé si juste que c'est flippant, certaines scènes (ou paroles de chansons ) sont tellement actuelles ! Ils ont imaginé le futur...et c'est devenu réalité ! Mais bien sûr il y a belles comédie musicale américaine, simplement pour moi, leur morale et profondeur ne sont pas comparable.
am so happy to be the first one to see it and write a comment... love Daniel Balavoine, gone too soon...thanks for the reaction Derek, always on point :)
This song is so elemental and give to the listener the power to do things according to the lyrics, the melody and music and the powerful voice and the way he delivers it. For this reason it s a mega big great song
those lyrics are also so beautiful, you can hear the music of the words, the sounds reapetly present in each sentence, and each have his place and his meaning at the same time.
Derek, I've stumbled upon your channel yesterday, and I loved the candor and the joy in your reviews is very uplifting. I am french leaving abroad away from my language, so I have focused on a lot of French songs I love, but with this one, you got me and it brought me to tears...of joy, of nostalgia also, as I miss my language *so* much some time, and I miss those singers whose songs were poetry, and Balavoine had such a powerful unique instrument. You know, to this day he is probably still one of the very best male voice of French music. His tessiture (range?) was wide, and high. Try some of his others if you haven't yet...they're all amazing, powerful, emotional. He was such a kind, generous, brave and rebellious soul taken too young in a tragic accident... you have me crying, I hate you. not.
RIP Daniel Balavoine. He was so talented & he was far more than just a singer. That song immediately gives me the chills each time I listen to it, so moving & powerful.
Oh everyone who ever listen to him love daniel Balavoine! Everybody in France, Belgium, Switzerland... loves him! His death was so sad... And this song is really the best of all! So sad he wasn't known in the US or UK... his talent was huuuuuge!
Soy uruguayo y aquí en mi país, Daniel Balavoine no es conocido en absoluto. Yo lo descubrí al querer profundizar en interpretes franceses de los 70's 80's. El lamentablemente falleció en un accidente de helicóptero. cuando viajaba hacia una ayuda humanitaria. Me eriza la piel saber que su talento no es en vano y que mas personas como tu descubran su talento y en particular esta canción que a mi me genera sentimientos amargos y felices a la vez. Si traduces la letra, verás que hasta la lirica is so wonderful.
It's a pleasure to see you so thrilled about this amzing song from our childhood. Ballavoine was extraordinary talented, and left us too soon. And you got it all. Thanks for this moment, Dereck!
Balavoine est toujours vivant car sa musique est toujours vivante. Artistiquement Daniel était vraiment en avance sur son temps. Ses mélodies,ses paroles ,son talent de chanteur nous touchent encore en plein cœur.❤ Humainement aussi,il nous manque terriblement.
You've made an accurate analysis of this wonderful song, and I'm glad you've discovered it. I've listened this song the first time when I was a child during the second half of the 80's and I was just like you "Woah !" The lyrics are beautiful too. This song is a precious treasure of the universe.
Salut Dereck, Daniel Balavoine est le premier chanteur de "SOS" d'un terrien en détresse, chanson reprise par Dimash (qui l'a fait connaitre aux anglophones)par le biais de youtube, le "cover" de Dimash est très spectaculaire(musicalement) mais Daniel fait plus ressortir le texte de cette chanson qui fait partie d'une comédie musicale,un grand salut à tous, André
@@valbat627 Salut , tu as raison mais peter chantait la version anglaise de la même comédie musicale en anglais, je voulais dire que Dimash a fait connaitre "SOS" d'un terrien en Détresse chanté en français.

@@andreu6502 Effectivement dimash à fait connaître SOS d'un terrien en détresse. Par contre sa première interprétation était franchement laborieuse. Il massacrait le texte, on ne comprenait pas un traitre mot, un véritable sabotage. Il s'est amélioré par la suite mais c'est encore approximatif .
@@TomTom-p9g oui,tu as raison mais le français n'est pas facile à prononcer (plusieurs sons pour une lettre,etc...) Et il n'y a pas grand monde qui puisse chanter dans plusieurs langues avec une articulation des mots compréhensible, oui il y a son idole Lara Fabian qui le fait super bien (français, espagnol, italien, anglais qu'elle maîtrise et comprends parfaitement et a chanté en russe, hébreu, portugais etc...sans connaître la langue mais là on parle du sommunt de l'art de la vocalise, bonne soirée à toi, André
Thanks for making me remember how good he was, in all he did. The courage, goodness, audacity in the sound, the voice, sincerity. How lucky i have been to listen to him as a french teenager in those years. I'm glad you love his songs (watch some of your reaction videos about his songs) :)

He was there for a humanitarian cause, Install water pumps in the desert..... Daniel Balavoine is also the first singer to have sung "SOS d'un terrien en détresse" covered by Dimash.
This one is incredible..: 😭💖💖💖 ruclips.net/video/Cmw6shyZEx4/видео.html
Balavoine is the songwriter of the song too !
Ps
Music ahead of its time and poetic text.
C'est trop beau, trop touchant, voix magnifique. J'aime tout de Balavoine !
Murder from mitterand friends
@@ephraimveralta9076 agree
He died 35 years ago, he's still a top 3 favorite singer in France
And this song is his best by far imo.The way he talks about depression and suicide is incredible. And his voice is beautiful and full of emotions
We miss him a lot
I have a preference for Mon fils ma bataille, but i love all of his song.
I too have a preference for Mon fils ma bataille. He has lots of great songs and was involved in humanitary actions (where he lost his life in an helicopter crash in Africa).
I love him ! I was 6 when he died, I was shoking because he was a great Human. He sang engaged songs like : Lady Marlène (about the Berlin Wall) "Un enfant assis attend la pluie" (this song talk about african child), etc...
SOS d'un terrien en détresse 🔝🔝
I don t think so .
Brassens , johnny hallyday , gainsbourg , Goldman and Cabrel are the first
This song is so powerful. If you ever felt truly alone, this song hit miles. If you read French, you can appreciate the strong poésie.
I was about to say the same thing. The lyrics hit very hard.
Daniel Balavoine est un monument de la chanson française respecté par tous ici. C'était aussi un artiste très engagé politiquement, un grand artiste au destin malheureusement tragique, il est mort en pleine gloire dans un accident d'hélicoptère durant un Paris Dakar.
Merci de l'avoir fait découvrir.
Merci de parler de Daniel Balavoine. Il était unique et il ne faut pas qu'il soit oublié.
On l'envoie sur Bashung ... L'apiculteur , un âne plane ?😁

@@MrPOKER725 C'est ce que j'allais dire. La version de Balavoine est belle, sans aucun doute. Mais celle de Grégory Lemarchal a une puissance folle.
Dereck, clearly, listen to both versions of SOS d'un terrien en détresse.
@@hanazuru8 n'importe quoi . Balavoine est très largement au-dessus
@@TheNessange Que vous ne soyez pas d'accord avec moi, aucun problème. Mais de là à dire "n'importe quoi", non. Tout est une question de sensibilité. Me concernant, je trouve que, même si la version de Balavoine est déjà très puissante, celle de Grégory Lemarchal l'est encore plus.
This is a "text" song, Balavoine was a writing jeweler, an emotion creator and experience sharer. This song must have saved hundreds, thousands of lives, it's the song that draws and screams the thin line between life and eternal darkness. This song is a lifeline. Find a translation if you can and hold on to it along Daniel's voice.
This. Exactly this.
Cette chanson me fait monter les larmes aux yeux à chaque fois. A CHAQUE FOIS ! Ce héros de ma jeunesse, il disait tout ce que je ne pouvais/savais pas dire... Belle réaction. Merci. 🙏
Et malheureusement, il est mort pour ça. C'était un héros contrairement à ce qu'il chantait
Cameroonian and in love with Daniel Balavoine. I think he was the only French singer capable to bring French music on top of the world ❤️
Daft Punk ?
Lol Jacques Brel, Aznavour, Edith Piaf, etc are laughing.
@@LLseballade I think they went to the top alone then went down alone.
But IMHO Daniel got something that could have inspired a lot of French singers to improve/change the French music styles...
Unfortunately nowadays french singers seem to sing for France only. That's very small as a career vision.
Let's thank Stromae and Aya Nakamura...
Sorry but i disagreed
Parce que vous ne connaissez pas ma cousine Berthe ;-)
Je suis presque triste de la connaitre par cœur et de pas avoir la chance la découvrir comme lui. ♡
Tu as eu la chance de pouvoir l'écouter des centaines de fois tout au long de ta vie ;)
Je connaissais certains de ces titres et je découvre celui-ci sur cet vidéo Waw la claque que je reçois :O

Et tu as la chance de comprendre parfaitement toute la subtilité et la poésie de cette chanson…
Idem pour moi... 😭😭
Mais n'oublie pas que vous avons eu la chance de l'écouter !
RUclips sent me here, I'm happily surprised to find Balavoine's song being analysed/enjoyed outside of France.
Yep, no auto tune, amazing voice, amazing lyrics. I was very young when he died but I do remember France going still for a while.
It is actually bringing tears to my eyes
Pure artiste oui ça fait plaisir de voir Qu'il. Inspiré. Toujours autant
As a French native I’m deeply touched by this song, it is part of the French musical history for sure. This is very 80’s spirit and style. Good on ya for the choice 👍
T sur d être un french native ?
Je te vois pas parler français pourtant
I (somehow) only discovered Balavoine in the last month, and it was quite literally life-changing. Unique talent, a hero.
One of his songs is "Je ne suis pas un héros". Litteraly "I'm not a hero" ^^
And the lyrics are absolutely amazing, the poetry is off the charts.
YESSSSSS DERECK !!!!! Daniel Balavoine was one of the most famous french artist of all the times. His lyrics are so important. you can look "Sauver L'amour", "l'Aziza", "Mon fils, ma bataille", " SOS d'un terrien en détresse", "vivre ou survivre" and so many more...
YESSSSSS DERECK
Ha ouai faudrait qu'il réagisse à toutes ses chansons en fait lol. Il va halluciner non-stop ^^
"LE CHANTEUR" song
« Aimer est plus fort que d’être aimé », one of its greatest.
L aziza c est une belle merde mondialiste
@@limpopulaire à l'époque c'était touchant.
We miss him so much in France for the singer he was, the musicien he was, and above all the human he was.
I agree, je suis tout à fait d'accord, Daniel Balavoine nous manque tellement
j'avais 3 ans lorsqu'il est décédé mais il a toujours fait parti de mon univers musical ma maman était fan et cette chanson j'ai toujours les larmes aux yeux... un grand artiste
Je pense que cette chanson met tout le monde d'accord. Peu importe le style musical que tu kiff, tous les cris des SOS sera toujours LA chanson qui te donne des frissons tellement elle est incroyable vocalement
et textuellement et musicalement
Tout à fait
C'est vrai mais il y en a quand même beaucoup d'autres. Pour n'en citer que quelques unes : Mercy Street de Peter Gabriel, Dreamer de Toni Childs, Easter de Marillion...
You definitely have to listen to"SOS d'un terrien en détresse". Daniel Balavoine was a genius
I was going to comment that, he will be blown away!
Well he probably knows the English version already. Starmania has been translated in English.
For information, Daniel Balavoine is the first (and best) Johnny Rockford ;)
@@senaluffyzoro I love Balavoine in general but as far as Johnny Rockfort goes, I think Bruno Pelletier did an absolutely stellar performance. He definitively set the standard for that role as far as Im concerned. The only guy I would have seen do better is Chris Cornell, and he's dead now - not that he would ever have performed in Tycoon anyway, but oh well. Maybe next time it'll be a woman in the cast and they can hire Olivia Rodrigo! 😬 _Oh the times, they are a-changin'_
I was thinking exactly the same thing
One of the many gems by this artist considered a legend in France. His voice was very special and he was very generous. This man was still fighting for justice and the day of his tragic helicopter crash was a huge trauma in his country ...
Not only in his country but in all french speaking countries around the world.
J'ai toujours de ces frissons quand j'écoute cette chanson 💕 Daniel Balavoine tu nous manque 😢
When you understand all the lyrics, this is the moment when you can enjoy all the power of this music
Un grand artiste Français. Parti beaucoup trop tôt. Son bref passage sur notre terre aura marquer plus que quiconque.
J'ai des frissons !! J'adore ce chanteur, les 3 amis qui sont si vite partis ! Michel Berger, Daniel Balavoine et France Gall !
Merci mec, la prochaine fois essaies Grégory Lemarchal 😉 un chanteur qui est décès si jeune 😪
tout a fait daccord avec tout ce que vous avez dit
Yes, i'm french and have grown with his songs... but... when i heard this, you know, 30 years later, i still feel it into my spine... then he is a hero... he died in a stupid copter crash when he was on a humanist tour accross Africa, giving and installing them water pumps. A beautifull guy with uncommon sense of music and voice.
Thank you
Mmh... Humanitarian trip? Didn't he die on the Paris-Dakar 4wd race?
@@kavalou4799 yeah i think its during the race
He wasn't doing the race, some of his friends do. He do this humanitarian action during the race to get a biggest audiance to his cause.
Sad loose for us
@@cedricm2514 ok i didnt know many good singer die by stupid accident claude francois for exemple
@@kavalou4799Yes indeed he died during the Paris-Dakar race, but he wasn't racing. He was ambassador for a humanitarian orgainsation, bringin water pumps for people in the desert, using the race's logictics. The day he died in Mali, he had been negociating with a local gouvernor to let the convoy pass that was blocked by the authorities
Daniel Balavoine, my entire teenage years. I remember when I heard the news about his death, I had this cold, stuck at home, complainging to my friend about being sick when I heard the news. I burst into tears. I couldn't believe it. Balavoine, Berger and Goldman, the musical heroes of my teenage years.
It was a complete shock. I remember it very well. You could hardly believe it. It seemed impossible that a man with such vitality and promiss could just "die". And in some ways, he has not. The songs he gave us live on, a testament to his extraordinary musicianship and creativity. I recently watched a video of him explaining how he was creating this very song on his computer (in 84!!!!) Fabulous to hear his creative process. And who can listen to "Partir avant les miens" without crying, considering what happened? Tu nous manques beaucoup, Daniel.
C’est un super artiste, des textes magnifiques, une voix puissante. C’est un monument en France et j’avoue être contente qu’il soit encore apprécié aujourd’hui
Man, you are listening to one of the best French singers. He wrote and composed almost all of his songs. He is deeply missed because he was also a wonderdul soul. A legend.
Balavoine is an absolute reference for Frenchies like me who were teenagers in the 80's (they still listen to it these days, when they don t care for rap and cheap pop by the way!) - nice to see it appreciated abroad, good share, mate :)
Like a madman is going to throw into the sea
Empty bottles and then hope
That we can read through
S.O.S. Written with air
To tell you that I feel lonely
I draw in empty ink
A desert
And i run
I'm hanging on to life
I get drunk with the noise
Bodies that surround me
Like lianas tied in braids
Without understanding the distress
Words that I send
Difficult to call for help
When so many dramas oppress us
And the tears tied with stress
stifle the cries of love a little more
Of those who are in weakness
And in a last hope
Disappear
And i run
I'm hanging on to life
I get drunk with the noise
Bodies that surround me
Like lianas tied in braids
without understanding the distress

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'm hanging on to life,
I'm getting drunk on the noise
Of the bodies around me,
Just like creepers tied in braids,
Oblivious to the distress
Of the words that I throw.
It's not 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 a final hope, dissolve.
And I run, I'm hanging on to life,
I'm getting drunk on the noise
Of the bodies around me,
Just like creepers tied in braids,
Oblivious to the distress
Of the words that I throw.
Chorus:
Every cry, each SOS
Vanishes in the air,
Leaving, in the water, a trace
Made so beautiful by its foams.
Caught in their vessel of glass,
The messages struggle
But the waves do bring them back
As stardust upon the rocks.
And I picked up the splinters,
Put the pieces back together.
Everything was clear as water,
There's no winning against the past.
The heroes ought to be replaced
In a world where the best is
Yet to be done.
And I run, I'm hanging on to life,
I'm getting drunk on the noise
Of the bodies around me,
Just like creepers tied in braids,
Oblivious to the distress
Of the words that I throw.
Chorus: (x2)
Every cry, each SOS
Vanishes in the air,
Leaving, in the water, a trace
Made so beautiful by its foams.
Caught in their vessel of glass,
The messages struggle
But the waves do bring them back
As stardust upon the rocks.
Pretty good but got to understand french pour comprendre how powerful is that song ...good job tho
This guy is a legend in France. Die too young unfortunately...
Lot of French people say he was murdered
@@marieline23 Be careful. Yes, many people say that. But, nobody can prove it... (like the accidentally death of Coluche 😪)
I absolutely don't say it's false. Even now, we don't really knows what happened. The official version is a bad condition in the desert (night and sand wind), helicopter was flying fast and low in the way of red light of a race car, and tragedy is coming because of a sand dune.
Also, supposed a mistake fire by soldiers in the conflict, because the helicopter is flying near military group's air space.
Also, an emergency take-off because of snake bite.
And last controversial theory, the organiser of Paris Dakar, Thierry Sabine take the command of the helicopter.
Excusez mon anglais ;)

@gokeiSamhada Don't throw that on the table like it's a hard fact, especially because they have no idea why Balavoine would even be worth considered as a target.
Cette chanson est ma préférée depuis toute petite. Mon papa la chantait on la chantait ensembles dans la voiture.. Ça me fait vraiment plaisir que tu l'apprécie autant. Merci
Moi aussi. C' est ma préfèrée. Tant au niveau musical émotionnel et de l' écriture. Mais j' aime cet homme très humain aussi.
L'Aziza ma préférée 😍😍😍😍😍
One of the most, or the most French singer of the 80's. His song are so aerial, depuis, and his voice is just heavenly!!! Thank's for triste vidéo.
Merci Dereck!!!!! 😉
I'm a french and grow-up with this period of singers like D.Balavoine, this track is intense, beginning of the music is very similar of the work of Peter Gabriel for his production of the great album of Birdy, the beautiful & poetic Alan Parker movie. Especially Quiet & Alone released in 1985.
Daniel Balavoine is a monument of the french songs. No one today come closed to him. He sang with his entire soul. We miss him so much.
His first great hit was "Le Chanteur", a bittersweet anthem of a generation
De lui c'est ma chanson préférée ! ! Précision de génération : j'ai 26 ans, balavoine est intemporel.
agreed, the lyrics on that one are a masterpiece and a true reflection on life
Le message est profond et à toujours été d’actualité... l’une des plus belles
Daniel Balavoine, mon chanteur préféré depuis que j'ai 5 ans. La voix, les textes et les mélodies les plus émouvantes que je connaisse. Un monument de la chanson française.
« I though the chorus was the bridge, but the chorus is NOW ! » i love it :D
merci d'avoir écouter Daniel, il avait une voix magnifique et était une personne très engagée dans mon pays. Son engagement lui à couter la vie sur le rally Paris-Dakar. Thanks and god bless him .
He's one of the French artists that I would love to meet if he was still alive, he even died helping for a good cause. This song gives me goosebumps almost crying guys. I learned this song as a lot of French kids in music class. Such a great classic.
For your information, Daniel was the FIRST singer of SOS (covered by Dimash), in 1979 in the best french musical STARMANIA where he was one of the principal characters.
The musical part is so modern, so ahead of its time. So unique too. His high voice and the deep lyrics made it a masterpiece. Its so sad though, but my favorite Balavoine's song by far 💕
when you listen this song and you understand french, you cry, for all the memories there is in this song, because of all you remember when you listen to it. I was born in 1981 and just listening this voice makes tear coming... and just for information, the man that sing was just a beautiful person. if only u could understand the words :)
Je crois qu'aucune chanson ne dégage autant d'émotions que celle-ci
Daniel was one of the best, tragic death... He was politically "angry" and did a lot to try to change mentalities. He was a good guy.
Et did quite some gems... "Lady Marlene" is one of them.
He also was part of the opera rock "Starmania" (Tycoon in English), and sang "SOS d'un terrien en detresse"... A huge hit with a high amplitude of notes.
Yes ! I was going to ask if someone told Dereck Balavoine was the original interpret of "SOS d'un terrien en détresse"! I'm so happy right now, I hope there will be other reactions about him 😊
Probably one of the most beautiful french song. Incredible.
Endless, Dereck. There's a before and an after this song. more than a song, a temple. Those streams at the end, the bass, the colors. And you Dereck, in French we would say that you are "une éponge à émotions", " a sponge for emotions", but I don't think the image could work in English, but it's a compliment. You absorb musical emotions and you recreate them on the screen, and you do it so good, it's a pleasure !
C'est aussi bon de réécouter cette oeuvre exceptionnelle que de voir la profonde impression qu'elle génère en Dereck.
Trop bon et bravo Dereck
Daniel died when most of us were not born. He would had been proud of his legacy. This song was of one his very last and the most beautiful.
ah finally Dereck, you discover daniel balavoine, one of the greatest of the 80s but still today!
if he had not died in a helicopter accident in full glory and still in full rise, I am convinced that today he would be THE benchmark of French song.
he is the one and only singer of "sos d'un terrien en détresse". all his soul is in this song and noone equal him.
Such a wonderful singer and song. Daniel took us all on a journey with his music. French music in the 80s was so varied and so very very good.
he was a text singer, always a meaning in all his songs, a militant for human & women rights...you should listen to "L'Aziza" a song he wrote for his wife :)
"Mon fils ma bataille" so he was a militant for men rights too :)
Glad you liked it - Balavoine was fantastic. His nickname was "crystal voice". He was one of the first to introduce the electronic keyboard sounds in France. His texts are extremely poetic and progressists.
La magie du synthé et du Fairlight
Le texte pur qui dégage une sincérité
Que dire de la voix ?
De l'aigu puissant en voix pleine
Balavoine balance ses octaves sans forcer
Respect.
Inoubliable

Merci Dereck pour écouter un de nos plus grand artiste ! Une grande voix et une très forte personnalité. Il en dirait beaucoup en ce moment !😑😑😑
this song is very basic and incredible, in french school I've learned this song, and since now everytime I heard it I'm like "TOUT LES CRIS LES SOS" that's really an incredible song, cool to see american see french song, there's a lot more french music that are incredible, don't remember the name, and honnestly those singers deserve what they have now because they're talented each in a way.
Daniel Balavoine was a genius. He was one of the first who made music with a computer in France. And it was just Amazing. His lyrics are so deep. Died when 36 years old only. Such a loss for the World, really.
The covers never surpassed the emotion of the original song.
My mom loved him and he died around her birthday. My dad got her the album as a gift. I spent hours listening to it. I learned the lyrics by heart.
Merci d'honorer ce monstre sacré. Next reaction: starmania ?
SOS d'un terrien en détresse 😀
If he does Starmania he has to read the summary of the musical. Because every American musical seems so stupid in front of Starmania.
@@mlbo5860 Peut être pas de là à dire que c'est stupide, parce que bon, des comédie musicales américaines il y en a de très très trrrrrrrès bonnes . Mais oui, Starmania est hors catégorie aussi à mes yeux ;) Quand dans une comédie musical presque toutes les chansons sont cultes, c'est que vraiment, c'est de qualité. En meme temps Michel Berger quoi.... :D
@@brandyalexander2077 stupide dans le sens : l'histoire du show et sa morale. Tandis que (la plupart ) des comédies musicales américaines sont fixés sur des synopsis très "Romeo et Juliette " (2 familles ennemies, histoire d'amour impossible ) Starmania c'est une critique de la société de consommation, du capitalisme, de ce vers quoi on tend, de la dictature qui s'impose petit a petit, des différentes classes sociales etc...tout ça en 1979 😦 bon sang ils ont visé si juste que c'est flippant, certaines scènes (ou paroles de chansons ) sont tellement actuelles ! Ils ont imaginé le futur...et c'est devenu réalité !
Mais bien sûr il y a belles comédie musicale américaine, simplement pour moi, leur morale et profondeur ne sont pas comparable.
am so happy to be the first one to see it and write a comment... love Daniel Balavoine, gone too soon...thanks for the reaction Derek, always on point :)
This song is so elemental and give to the listener the power to do things according to the lyrics, the melody and music and the powerful voice and the way he delivers it. For this reason it s a mega big great song
Ce chanteur me donne toujours autant de frissons
Daniel also sang “SOS d'un terrien en détresse” famous song covered by Dimash among others.
C’était mon chanteur préféré. Il est mort à 33 ans, je n’en suis toujours pas remise.
respirez par le nez,ca va passer
Moi 12 ans.....
C est la même chose pour moi, comme si une chose s était brisé
35 years later, and we can't still get over his death, he was so young and talented...
those lyrics are also so beautiful, you can hear the music of the words, the sounds reapetly present in each sentence, and each have his place and his meaning at the same time.
Une chanson tellement emblématique, chanté par un chanteur totalement hors du temps et irremplaçable. ❤❤❤❤
This song is one of his masterpieces.
so glad you discovered it, balavoine was a king ! as a human and singer ! so powerfull, we miss him !
A pioneer of French synth pop. The lyrics just flow like honey and merge with this magnificent music. A true masterpiece.
I’m gonna add that I love his vibrato
Derek, I've stumbled upon your channel yesterday, and I loved the candor and the joy in your reviews is very uplifting. I am french leaving abroad away from my language, so I have focused on a lot of French songs I love, but with this one, you got me and it brought me to tears...of joy, of nostalgia also, as I miss my language *so* much some time, and I miss those singers whose songs were poetry, and Balavoine had such a powerful unique instrument. You know, to this day he is probably still one of the very best male voice of French music. His tessiture (range?) was wide, and high. Try some of his others if you haven't yet...they're all amazing, powerful, emotional. He was such a kind, generous, brave and rebellious soul taken too young in a tragic accident... you have me crying, I hate you. not.
J’ai toujours aimé ce chanteur, que ce soit le l’artiste et l’homme bon et qui aimait aider son prochain.
RIP Daniel Balavoine. He was so talented & he was far more than just a singer.
That song immediately gives me the chills each time I listen to it, so moving & powerful.
Oh everyone who ever listen to him love daniel Balavoine! Everybody in France, Belgium, Switzerland... loves him! His death was so sad... And this song is really the best of all! So sad he wasn't known in the US or UK... his talent was huuuuuge!
Soy uruguayo y aquí en mi país, Daniel Balavoine no es conocido en absoluto. Yo lo descubrí al querer profundizar en interpretes franceses de los 70's 80's. El lamentablemente falleció en un accidente de helicóptero. cuando viajaba hacia una ayuda humanitaria. Me eriza la piel saber que su talento no es en vano y que mas personas como tu descubran su talento y en particular esta canción que a mi me genera sentimientos amargos y felices a la vez. Si traduces la letra, verás que hasta la lirica is so wonderful.
Merci pour ce magnifique commentaire! 💖
It's a pleasure to see you so thrilled about this amzing song from our childhood. Ballavoine was extraordinary talented, and left us too soon. And you got it all. Thanks for this moment, Dereck!
Balavoine est toujours vivant car sa musique est toujours vivante.
Artistiquement Daniel était vraiment en avance sur son temps.
Ses mélodies,ses paroles ,son talent de chanteur nous touchent encore en plein cœur.❤
Humainement aussi,il nous manque terriblement.
We miss him.
He would be mad about what we are living now.
More than his awesome songs, we miss his heart.
You've made an accurate analysis of this wonderful song, and I'm glad you've discovered it. I've listened this song the first time when I was a child during the second half of the 80's and I was just like you "Woah !" The lyrics are beautiful too. This song is a precious treasure of the universe.
For me, this song is the biggest french masterpiece. The song, lyrics, voice, everything in this shit is good, nothing to discard.
Well it is your opinion and your taste, but there are many many way superior french musics than this one.
Balavoine et Coluche les deux seul français qui pouvaient changer l'histoire de France et peut-être du monde !
Qu'ils reposent en paix.
If you like Daniel Balavoine, try "Quand on arrive en ville" - the starmania version is top
Salut Dereck, Daniel Balavoine est le premier chanteur de "SOS" d'un terrien en détresse, chanson reprise par Dimash (qui l'a fait connaitre aux anglophones)par le biais de youtube, le "cover" de Dimash est très spectaculaire(musicalement) mais Daniel fait plus ressortir le texte de cette chanson qui fait partie d'une comédie musicale,un grand salut à tous, André

Balavoine is one of the greatest lost french music suffered :’(
I wonder what he would have brought to music if he never stepped in that helicopter.
Thanks for making me remember how good he was, in all he did. The courage, goodness, audacity in the sound, the voice, sincerity. How lucky i have been to listen to him as a french teenager in those years. I'm glad you love his songs (watch some of your reaction videos about his songs) :)
