#michelpolnareff #lebaldeslaze #michelpolnareffreact
Hi all welcome back to another video Dereck Reacts back at it again! This time around we take a look at another reaction made possible via you all with Michel Polnareff and his song "Le Bal Des Laze." What an amazing deep, but scary song Michel decides to bring to us. A song about jealousy, affairs, and even death. He uses texts from writer Pierre Delanoe, and combines it with organs, bass and guitars. This one is great, see my reaction now!

[@aiguesvives30]

Envoûtant et ça raconte une histoire... ce genre de merveille a disparu des ondes aujourd'hui....encore une fois merci Dereck

[@patriciacloix71]

Dommage vraiment un grand artiste Michel bizarre cette vie d'aujourd'hui mon Dieu nostalgie souvenirs je veux retouner a mes belles années 70 80 90

[@MrKrystaufe]

@François "Papaoutai" raconte des choses égalements, comme beaucoups de chansons de Stromae. Allez écouter ce qu'il fait et vous ne serez pas déçu.

[@alesiavercin8879]

Parfaitement illustré avec le film The Young Victoria {2009}

[@mr.meeseeks3074]

@François oulah t'as pris le pire exemple avec stromae c'est justement carrément intéressant ce qu'il fait

[@titigrette]

C' est exactement cette chanson un peu à part de Polnareff qui m' a emmenée vers Ange, et après, ben j' étais foutue ;) tant mieux

[@adrient3957]

I think this is the best Polnareff song by a long shot. Back in time, in 1968, our french media didn't want to see it that way. They wanted to picture Polnareff as a buffon, the man who sang "Y'a qu'un ch'veu". Polnareff didn't like it. He didn't have the recognition he deserved and this song was quite ignored back in time. We could say the same about Nino Ferrer. Now, in 2021, Polnareff is a legend. We like to sing Le bal des Laze. He's one of our most beloved legends, along with Jacques Brel (who was belgian, but belgian people are our brothers), Georges Brassens and Jacques Dutronc.

[@mlomarechal6877]

oh ! superbe ... merci infiniment à celui qui a recommandé cette chanson qui est une "oeuvre" musicale ... Michel Polnareff a composé de très belles chansons

[@324nb]

My favorite song by Michel Polnareff definitely ! Thanks !

[@emmanuelernandez7067]

One of my favorite ones too, definitely, "mes regrets" is another song with that very emotional atmosphere, polnareff is a wonderful artist ❤️

[@viedefun]

Moi aussi ! Des paroles incroyable, une histoire tragique.....La mélodie est également très belle.....

[@dedelebon]

me too

[@thurimthurim8395]

+1 masterpiece

[@trorisk]

Pour un non francophone je pense que On ira tous au paradis est une meilleure entrée vers Polnareff.

[@glambertini4709]

Such a beautiful and haunting song... very good choice Dereck, thank you for your lovely reaction ! ;)

[@yeeshah]

To me, easily one of the greatest french artists ever. So much talent and music intelligence. This is one of my favorite songs of him, but you can react to a lot from his discography !

[@harzizaina7820]

Lovely choice Dereck! Polnareff is a genius that's all.. Try "dans la maison vide" other song other rhythm and so creative!

[@sartorisvillae]

I like everything he does. He is so talented.

[@bernardyannick4570]

One of my favorite from michel polnareff. Thx from France.

[@Penibilis]

Il ya tellement de chansons magnifiques dans son répertoire. On attend la prochaine. Peut être "dans la mison vide" :)

[@JoelleClercCBrito]

"Tous les oiseaux, tous les bateaux"

[@patriciacloix71]

Et dans d'autres qui me font pratiquement toutes pleurer

[@rosita5269]

Perso, j'adore "qui a tué grand maman ?" qui ne raconte évidemment pas la mort de sa grand-mère (Je traduis grossièrement : I love "qui a tué grand maman ?" (who killed Grandma ?), a song about the time and the things we regret)

[@samueldevulder]

"Champagne" by J.Higelin is also a song related to a ball/party I.I.R.C.

[@gillessotty8156]

Tu as raison.......

[@tixien]

Arguably one of the best crafted French songs ever. Not a useless word, a captivating story line, and a brilliant combination of bass and organ, what’s not to love?

[@Valou0602]

At last!!! One of my favourite! Thanks Derek! Next one: "dans la maison vide", you will not regret it!

[@arkasonus7678]

Great choice and great reaction. One of the most beloved Polnareff songs. Next, for an 80s flavour, check "Tam tam l'homme préhisto".

[@patricklemeur6360]

MERCI pour ce chef d'oeuvre de la chanson Française !.....

[@lebusraconte3040]

This song touches deeply my heart, as The Black Sheep of my family ! Thank you Dereck. 🍀🌼🍀🌼🍀💫

[@vivianemarc3296]

Comme j'étais fan. C'était une de mes préférées mais Il a eu tellement de belles chansons.

[@french.blackdevil1967]

Michel Polnareff est tout simplement un Chanteur compositeur de très très grand talent..Il faut saluer cet immense artiste comme il se doit 👏👏💐💐🙏🙏

[@TheBlocos77]

"Qui a tué grand maman" or "sous quelle étoile suis je né?"

[@sebastienfontaine2418]

Oui ,qui a tué grand maman ? 👍 J'adore

[@enguerranddemarigny]

@@sebastienfontaine2418 2:32 de pur génie ! Paroles et musique de Michel Polnareff. Cette chanson était un hommage au suicide de Lucien Morisse le 11 septembre 1970, ex mari de Dalida,, mais surtout co-fondateur de la chaîne de radio Europe n°1. Enfin, il était le fondateur des disques AZ, c'est lui qui a signé le premier Polnareff et l'a diffusé sur Europe N°1 (actuelle Europe1).

[@emmanuelernandez7067]

Yeah 2 great ones 👍❤️

[@patriciacloix71]

A voilà je cherche à l'instant même sous quelle étoile suis je né je pleure automatiquement merci

[@patriciacloix71]

Femme que j'aime c'est ta ta ta ta..

[@lydiaachour3411]

I discover this song thanks to you Dereck and those who suggest it. Thanks a lot !

[@buchholtzmathieu1810]

Thanks! in one word "Masterpiece"

[@kyococo5705]

Michel Polnareff is one of the best french singer and songwriter.

[@freddirekt]

Suggestion : "qui a tué grand-maman?". Une oeuvre majeure, sublime mélodie et paroles incroyables !

[@LucasGaudichon]

To my mind, the very best of Michel Polnareff. Very good choice !

[@laurenthlle7668]

Le bal des Laze - 1968 Un monument de noirceur baroque ciselée qui n'a pourtant pas connu le succès à sa sortie. Les radios trouvaient ce titre trop long (5 minutes), morbide et décalé. Les soixante-huitards lui préférant l'improbable « Y'a qu'un ch'veu ». Malgré cette anomalie, ce titre est régulièrement classé N°1 des œuvres de Michel Polnareff (devant "Love me, please love me", "Lettre à France", "Mes regrets" et "Tous les oiseaux, tous les bateaux". Une sublime chanson, intemporelle. Magistrale composition signée Polnareff et Delanoë.

[@Mimix476]

I think the scene is from the film The Young Victoria with Emily Blunt, nothing to do with the song or the lyrics.

[@mariebambelle7361]

Exactly !

[@magaliehadjisotiri9255]

Ça n'arrive qu'aux autres ➡️ Michel Polnareff. Short but so, so beautiful. Thanks Derek ❤

[@Stillgar69]

Encore un chanteur français qui possède un talent fou. La voix, les compositions, les paroles et l’histoire qu’elles racontent, l’époque dorée de la chanson Française. Michel Polnareff est un immense Artiste avec un répertoire rempli de véritables pépites : goodbye Marylou, Holiday, qui a tué grand maman, love me please love me, et tant d’autres. Que cette époque me manque..

[@liliekitsh]

The best Polnareff song for me, by far ...love the darkness in it.

[@alexandreberiault6425]

This song, if you translate the lyrics, is REALLY dark. It's about a man in London who killed Lord and Lady de Laze's daughter Jane's boyfriend because of jealousy and the whole song is him looking back on the crime that he's about to be hanged for when tomorrow comes.

[@SiRcErOn_YuLmEr]

Very good choice ! This is art at its purest !

[@mimiegeignarde9090]

Very well analysed bravo!👌 This song give goosebumps♥️

[@stephaneavenet7627]

For me, the most beautifull Polnareff's song

[@jm53gripsou]

Well done. Great choice again

[@lemanguier]

One of ours French Genius… exceptionnel pianist, great personality. Genius

[@richardoliver7791]

The ball of the Laze I will be hanged tomorrow morning My life wasn't meant For the castles Everything happened on that June night There was a party given At the castle In the Laze castle, The largest ball in London, Lord and Lady de Laze Were receiving the high society Diamonds, rubies, topazes And white long dresses. Hidden in the garden I was clenching my fists I was watching as they danced Jane and her fiancé I will be hanged tomorrow at dawn That's a pity for the girl Of this castle As I think she liked the love That we were making, alone Far from the castle In the Laze castle For Jane's twentieth birthday, Lord and Lady de Laze Had received the Queen Me, the fool people stared at I was seething with hate Hidden in the garden I was clenching my fists I was watching as they danced Jane and her fiancé I will be hanged tomorrow morning It will take up barely four lines In the newspapers I am just a common assassin A vagrant unworthy Of this castle In the Laze castle, Maybe that Jane As they put me down Will feel a little sorrow But my last sentence Will be to pity myself Since she will be given Another fiancé And I won't be able To eliminate that one

[@patriciacloix71]

Un génie grand Michel un artiste in vrai j'aime tout de lui émue toujours avec ses magnifiques textes musicaux une voix Wouah je l'aime merci Dereck très bonne analyse 🙏👍👏💖😱

[@leseize26]

What a great melody and clip !!! Looks like a Visconti movie, very beautiful !!!!

[@EmmaJynn]

Thanks. I love this song.

[@florianfasquelle5212]

extraordinary

[@flex-o]

what I find extraordinary with this song is the power of transcription that is given. I mean, the music seems to be from the time, you could believe this ball of lazes existed. The words, scribbled in text by the assassin while awaiting his execution. This story seems taken from a real fact which one could have the impression, thanks to this chason, of having witnessed it. Im a french guy, i hope my translation is readable.

[@mcasualjacques]

Yay you got to it!

[@JulienNK]

10000% MASTERPIECE iiii Thank you so much my Dear ;) try "Tam Tam (l'Homme Préhisto)" from late eighties from him, you will go bananas by the vibes, trust me I hope now..

[@ratdemetal]

Magnifique !

[@berangere3537]

Wonderful choice of song. Hasn't anybody recommended Le Nouveau MOnde de William Sheller to you? I'm sure you would LOVE it!

[@lebusraconte3040]

Hello Dereck. J’adore this song, so deep. And Michel Polnareff is a Genius. Sure he likes you. Greetings, Dear ! (When you want for another Vero Sanson react !) 🍀🌼🍀🌼🍀💫

[@nim4464]

love this song so much

[@colettevaldrez5400]

Avec Johnny,mon chanteur préféré. Je l’aimais beaucoup dans les années 1970quand il dérangeait tous ces biens pensants..en plus il avait une belle chute de reins🤣🤣👏👏👏😍😍😍

[@Paugose]

I'm late to the party, but here's my attempt at translating the song, being a native french speaker. I will be hung by the morning, my life wasn't made for the castles. All of this happened this night of June, a party was hold in the castle. In the castle of Laze, the greatest bal of London. Lord and lady of Laze, received the beautiful people. Diamond, Rubis, Topaz, and long white dresses. Hiding in the garden, my fists were clenching. As I saw them dancing, Jane and her Fiancée. I will be hung by daytime, alas for the girl of this castle. For I believe she quite like the love we were making in peace far from the castle. In the castle of Laze, for the 20 years of Jane, Lord and Lady of Laze had received the Queen. Me, the freak looked across, I died of all this anger. Hiding in the garden, my fists were clenching. As I saw them dancing, Jane and her Fiancée. I will be hung by the morning, it will be 4 lines long for the gazette. I'm nothing more than an assassin, unworthy vagabond of this castle. In the castle of Laze, maybe that Jane... As they will destroy me, will feel a shred of sadness. But my final sentence will be for all to mourn me, As they will gave her a brand new Fiancée... And I shall be unable to erase this one.

[@melaniezette886]

When a classical made pure pop gems

[@luc.hammond]

The movie is ''The Young Victoria'' with the beautiful Emily Blunt in 2009. The song is a french masterpiece in 1968. Strange but effective to marry this song and the pictures 40 years ago.

[@gillessotty8156]

Merci Dereck, Peu-tu partager : ''qui a tué grand- maman'' '''Hollywood '' de Michel Deux merveilles

[@phxsuns8525]

just a masterpiece

[@wiliamboy]

Polnareff. Génie de la musique doté d'une voix exceptionnelle.

[@nipournicontrebienaucontra9158]

Dereck ce n'est bien sur pas la vidéo officielle , la chanson est de 1968 !

[@sylviebertin7899]

sublime chanson, voix incroyable, musique qui envoute..Whaouuuu..

[@sysyviv7872]

Very good choice ! Thank you very much 😘 PS: dear dereck may I suggest you the French duo Âme strong and their song Tout est bleu ? Very good French song of the 90's.

[@Urgul_GiantKiller]

You should try George Brassens: "la mauvaise réputation", "la complainte des filles de joie", "Gare au gorille".. and lot of other amazing song of him

[@kevingay2746]

Quel artiste !!

[@champix]

you should probably love Mylène Farmer who's singing Michel Polnareff' "La poupée qui fait non" :)

[@LetsChillPage]

*@Dereck Reacts* Hello, I requested these two tracks of the essential Polnareff there's a long time ago: - *Michel Polnareff - Dans La Rue (video reworked)* kzbin.info/www/bejne/g4WmmaZ5ds2Fa6c (the best of both ...a pure 80s gem!) - *Michel Polnareff - Tam Tam (official video reworked)* kzbin.info/www/bejne/h5KQaouootOkqc0 Don't miss that Dereck, really *...don't miss that!* (Very good sound quality for both videos) 🤩🎵🪘🎸🎚️🎧 Peace! I change my comment to add this other pure gem cause this song of *1972* could be a pure hip hop sound of the 80/90s *Michel Polnareff - La Mouche* kzbin.info/www/bejne/jHrOn2OAirF_iNk (besides, it wouldn't surprise me that we used it to extract samples)

[@michaelc.6908]

Hi Derek. I like your channel. Your Musical curiosity is very impressive. So, Do you know these songs (from a french guy :-) ? Janette Chao - Porque te vas The Motors - Airport Umberto Tozzi - Gloria Barry Ryan - Eloise Adriano Celentano - svalutation Mietta & Amedeo Minghi - Vattene Amore Killing Joke - Love Like Blood Eros Ramazzotti - Una storia importante Oscar Benton - Bensonhurst blues and in french Jacques Brel - La valse à mille temps Nino Ferrer - le sud Birkin Jane - Ex fan des Sixties (Serge gainsbourg's composition for his wife) Michel Berger - Lumière du jour (A love song dedicated for his wife France Gall)

[@corentinm.105]

Great song ! You have to do Petite Marie or À l'encre de tes yeux from Francis Cabrel, both are amazing

[@isabellescemama5161]

Merci merci merci !!

[@62170Antoine]

One of his masterpieces ! You should take a ear to "Grandis pas" from his last album in 2018, a song for his son, Louka 🥰

[@thomasyogayoiii3759]

Polnareff le roi.

[@danielblaze4112]

Magnifique musique du compositeur Michel Polnaref !

[@leseize26]

So elegant, so french

[@kaddishcombattants]

You should try "La trompette" (The Trumpet), where Polnaref emulates a trumpet for a whole song. You'll be blown away, I bet.

[@patricklemeur4607]

un ambiance magnifique , dans ce chef d'oeuvre, le son Hammond , la voix , le texte, ....le passage musical aux grandes orgues .....ok!

[@VoixCyril]

la version live du "ze re tour" avec le solo de guitare est fantastique.

[@delphinemarie2082]

I confirm: there was no clip with the song... This (extract? form a) movie was added.

[@stephaneleblanc6395]

Well done...

Listen to the live version of 2007 with the electric guitar solo by Tony MacAlpine.

I amazed to have know that young English speaking guy, Dereck was interested in old French song of Michel Polnareff. What country are you from, Dereck ? I’m from Japan and Michel’s fan since long time ago 😊

[@mabo4165]

At last !!!!!!!!

[@chrizzend8445]

What is remarkable is that each song from Polnareff is different from each other… It’s like a little gem he spent a long time, I suppose, polishing…

[@jomelo2001]

Hello Derek! I think his most insane song is "Dans la maison vide". Your bananas will adore it 😅

[@davraf42]

This is not the official music video, I don't think there is one. This is a montage from the movie about the young queen Victoria of england

[@coupebranche3020]

Hi Dereck, first I wish to thank you for the great job you do reacting to french songs. Please , you must listen to one of the best and the most discreet french singer : William Sheller for example un homme heureux, pourquoi les gens qui s'aiment, un endroit pour vivre . You must have him in your collection . Bye and keep reacting

🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

[@gayalihn1328]

I love this song and the very sweet and beautiful music that comes with terrible lyrics. It is a young man who tells his story who is about to be executed because he killed the fiancé of Jane, the young girl he loves. He was jealous and bursting with hatred to see them dance at the ball of Lazes, Jane's parents. And he will not be able to kill the future bridegroom because he will be hanged, unfortunately, from his point of view. Words are often given a great place in French songs. And it's even better when the music is on the same level as the lyrics.

[@patricklemeur6360]

orgue Hammond B3 !!

[@Funktastic_Ed]

Wanna take a Polnareff bullet in your heart ? Try this one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qmfTdIyopp2dpZo it's an OST theme, and a pretty short song, but damn that arrangement, and melody...

[@emmanuellegrand3229]

Maybe the only pop song with a church organ solo !

[@Rapoutch]

Please react to " Michel Fugain - Une Belle Histoire "

[@SheFooMe]

Noticed that you often don't read the entire lyrics. Here : The fact that he regrets to die just because he will not be abble to kill the next one fiancé.... And also Brel "Dans le port d'Amsterdam" you stopped the lyrics just before the main whole delevery "They piss as I cry on the cheating women" Guess you are afraid of YT issues. Please assume, there is a final delivery on a lot of french songs which changes the whole song taste. That's the point. If you remove this part it changes all the meaning of the lyrics. Keep going.

[@DereckReacts]

I will start reading the entire set of lyrics, I started cutting back on that because of watchtime

[@vytae9]

I mean he reads the lyric when listening to the song he doesn't need to read it all to us if that's what you mean. We can just google it, but as long as he had read it it's fine I think

[@gillessotty8156]

Dereck l'instrument est un Clavecin ( instrument tres complexe ce rapprochant du piano) Contrairement àl'Orgue qui est un instrument à vent avec clavier

[@ericdupont1326]

good to see french good songs here ; Polnareff have some very good songs ; " Le Bal Des Laze "and " Lettre à France " my loved ones ; can you try Claude Nougaro " A Bout De Souffle " on the music of Dave Brubeck " Blue Rondo à La Turc " ; you will be amazed
