Glad you liked it, imagine how hard it hits when you actually understand the intention in the lyrics, it's 5 years old and still brings me to tears when I hear it, goddamn.

[@matthieuzglurg6015]

9:40 : in France (I don't know if that's the same thing in other countries) but Thursday night is the spot on the week to get drunk for students. As you grow older, you tend to do this on Friday or week ends, telling "tonight's thursday night" is a way to tell that : 1 - he'll just put thing aside for later (that's the theme of the song) 2 - he's living in the past, keeping the habits of a student getting drunk a thursday even though he's too old for that and dropped college very early (said previously in the song)

[@SailDGaara]

Same in Belgium, in general students are back in their hometown on Friday night, so in general Thursday is the big day

[@mecyjecy]

This is clearly the second choice. The concept of the film is to show young people who are stuck in adolescence (by the way, the mini series is called "blocking" for this reason). So it's the students' Thursday because both of them were students.

Don't know for other countries but in France it's usual for students to party on thursday nights cause they'll go back to their parents/city during weekends ;)

[@breakingbars6168]

Interesting

[@julieroux9601]

Casseurs flotteurs is the name of the bad guys in the movie "home alone" in the French version. it's a joke for the kid's of the 90's

[@kevinjouaux4393]

C'est tiré de son film "comment c'est loin" 2016

[@sebi4669]

You should definetly watch the movie "Comment c'est loin" which is about the history of the Casseurs flowters (with a lot of their songs in it)

[@MrNitrox33]

I agree, you should watch this movie

[@Bic4Colours]

I agree, he should watch it, but it's not about their story at all. It's inspired by their characters, but defintely not the story of these two. Just like 8 miles isn't Eminem's story.

[@dedead76]

haha I was going to say it but you were the first ! And FYI Orelsan directed this movie, a fking complet artist

[@Bic4Colours]

@@dedead76 Yeah I know its crazy, I mean he co-directed it, to be more precise, but for fucks sakes he's everywhere nontheless, and not in a bad way. He's really prolific in an artistic way. U gotta love Orelsan dude

[@Bic4Colours]

c'mon the radio phoenix bit in the movie? Dope as hell

[@mericbesson9730]

"Ce monde est cruel - Vald" is too powerfull

[@wartex8092]

"Avant tu riais" from nekfeu is amasing

[@NulesLeg]

good music when you smok ;)

[@theosimon6706]

When you hear this you can think it's a defeatist song but it's actually a song that helps to follow your passions and an optimistic song. That's why I love it and we see it more on the movie "comment c'est loin" cause at the end they sing this with smile. When orelsan was younger, almost everybody said to him he was a geek who did nothing but he follow his passion and is now one of the best French rapper

[@massimo6943]

React to casseurs flowters des histoires à raconter

[@alis393]

Julien from Damso is an incredible/terrible song you should react to it if you can because the lyrics and the meaning are powerful

[@arcreehysteria9805]

I don't know the lyrics are very complex and if the translation is badly done, it can just sound like he says things he don't say

[@BleuParfait]

5:50 do you even say "breaks my balls" in english? "casser les couilles" is a famous idiom in french (litterally to "break someone's balls"), it could translate as "pissing someone off" or "get on someone's nerves" in english

[@breakingbars6168]

Yeah it’s a saying in English too

[@iceuckdik4160]

About the name of the band "Casseurs Flowters" : It comes from the movie Home Alone, the "wet bandits", the 2 robber bad guys Harry and Marv, call themselves "Casseurs flotteurs" in the french version (lit. "breakers flooders" because they break everything and flood each house they hit). There's also a wordplay with "flotteurs" and flow. In french "having flow" means being cool and stylish and/or being a good rapper - in this case it's the latter. And there you go 😁

[@LEO_78_]

react to "Qui dit mieux" it's a featuring between Orelsan, Vald, Gringe and Suikon Blaz AD It's a great song and kinda funny because Gringe is often viewed as Orelsan's sidekick and Suikon Blaz AD is Vald's one

[@Solarisblue_]

That’s what is incredible with Orelsan, you can really relate to what he says or to what he feels

[@Bic4Colours]

"Mon nom c'est GRINGE, arrête de le prononcer comme si t'habitais à L.A" mdrrrr Gringe en pls

[@naoji6846]

Bah pour le coup c'est comme si il habitait à l.a

[@falcau9089]

If you liked that song you should like "Des histoires à raconter" too

[@bobthecat6453]

One of the best song of Casseurs Flowters I'm happy to see you react to this song ^^

[@slxth4036]

this song spoke to me too when i first listend to it years ago, actually i felt miserable everytime i listen to it but it like a cure i don't know i always go back to listen to it like a reminder may be !

[@sebpetit1272]

6:04 for me he is talking about the Death, because when you die in hospital we say that the death beep you

[@kenarbraz1352]

Do "Si c'était si facile". A great song of Orelsan !

[@nathansegret1388]

In France every student night are doing in Thursday, i think its why he speaks about this day in the song

[@batlikcover2538]

"Unable to see that all my havens (refuges ?) are actually tombs" 10:59 These words make me cry each time...and you didn't even mention it so close to do the perfect video 😁

[@xxxantonio56]

When they say the Thursday night party with friends is a reference about student (in college) party that usually take place on thursday evening since they go back to their parents home en friday.

[@snakeTSR]

That's my favourite song from them, such a masterpiece

[@enzoleclercq]

Since you're on an Orelsan roll, you should check out "Si Seul" or "La Terre Est Ronde", songs that made him really really big in France (from big to biggest possibly at the time) 😊 They have more melody/sung parts which should be fun for you

[@Toniodenight]

This song is definitely one of my favourites. So meaningful and empowering. It kicks your ass and gives you the strength to keep on going.

[@TheFroster974]

For the thursday night at 9:50 : in france the students parties are the Thursday because a lot of time no one have work on friday

[@yozarahirvi4750]

"Casseurs Flotteurs" is from the movie home alone, it's the nickname of the bandit guys (in the french version, I don't know how they call themselves in english). and theses guys called themselves the Casseurs Flowters to add a bit of flow in their name ;-)

[@wty74]

Tom, if you continue not to pronounce "Gringe" correctly, he'll make you do some holiday workbooks ! He warned you in "Casseurs Flowters - 04h41 - Greenje et Orselane" song

[@Oqse1]

beautiful repetition of an [ i / a / é ] assonance the all song

[@cleverfilth7913]

Just one quick info. In the city where Orel and Gringe came from, Caen, and in a lot of student's city in France, Thursday night is actually the night when all student goes to party.

[@Toniodenight]

Gringe isn't from Caen 😉

[@cleverfilth7913]

@@Toniodenight Oui si tu veux chipoter il est né a Poitiers mais sa vie étudiante, donc ce qui nous intéresse pour ce commentaire, a été faite a Caen.

[@BenRabour]

Hey ! The Thursday thing is funny because in France (or at least in Caen, where Orelsan & Gringe are from), every Thursday night is basically drinkin' night in bars for the studients. They're in their 30's but still going to 20 yo people's party. But you're not totally wrong either because in the movie, when a girl asks to Orel if he often come to the bar they're in, he replies "Uh, not often. Thursdays, of course. And Saturday. And Sunday. Friday, too." Also, really cool vids ! :)

[@lucillepacheco8008]

In the movie "Comment c'est loin" they both did a good rap on the radio some years ago, but ever since then never finished any of there song. Thus there producer put them an ultimatum to finish one of there song, or stop paying them. And that's the main scenario of the movie, actually telling the whole change of life they had to go through to eventually stop leaving everything unfinished. And that's why they say _if we have to finish one single thing, it's that fucking song_ . Indeed during the movie they sing a lot but never finish any of there song (which is a bit annoying when you know the whole song from there album but they stop singing it in the middle 😭) but "Inachevé".

[@MrsClem88]

The movie you’re speaking about is « Comment que c’est loin” in on Netflix available! (In France at least!)

[@antoinedubois6460]

In my opinion "There's like a failure in the playlist, Like an air of abandonment on the setlist" is a reference to former rapper Diam's in her song "La Boulette" (Huge french rap reference during the 2000s)

[@leogrelet3928]

Another masterpiece... By the way, the double bass / piano sample comes from GoGo Penguin, an amazing jazz band from Manchester. Some credits to them, and to the person who had the brillant idea to sample their song "Break" for rap music.

[@Bzuhl]

"Making up plots" would translate better to "Making up conspiracies", as to who's responsible for his troubles.

[@oaken1233]

Actually Thursday night is the "student night" in Caen ( city where Orel is from ) it's the day most of the college student go in the bars and hang out, so that's why he said that

[@frano5957]

Really appreciate your state of mind. From France.

[@lionelrevignet8088]

It's Thursday night shows that any day is a good day to drink I think. I mean he doesn't bother waiting for the weekend

[@quentinrollier4026]

It’s been a very long time I didn’t listen this song I love it, keep it up bro your the 🐐

Oooh, I was asking you this title 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@Untouch95]

Don't worry this song relates the life of a lot of people and me too. Hang on to your passions.

[@rohanz9007]

I'm french and I was in my first year in high school when the film came out, I went to watch it with my friend and when this song came it was such a powerful moment, I don't think that it's possible that I forget it one day Also it's one of my favorite french rap beats, you can check out the amazing sample : it's "GoGo Penguin - Break"

[@drunkprincessa2346]

i have no idea why i love those videos sm but here we are

[@brrop]

About 9:40 Thursday night it's a thing in Caen (the city there're from) The College's students party the thursday (I live in Cean next to a Club so I know) but yeah it could mean that too

[@barbeuqbike06]

For the next video listen "Casseur Flowters - Regarde comme il fait beau"

[@vince83vince]

Man, you have to watch "Comment c'est loin", Orelsan's movie (as a director). It's a biopic that tells the story of the Casseurs Flawters.

[@fritoss3437]

You should listen "j'essaye j'essaye" from casseur flowter

[@amaeliss7827]

yes yes yes i love this song so much i'm extatic that you reacted to it

[@ziguidgaming2608]

oh you did it on this one ! THANKS :)

[@bessonnet]

At 11:00, you can see their friends Abblaye and Skread who is mixing music for them most of the time.

[@nataari9336]

Hey from France ! Good work man, i work my english with it and discover songs pass trough the radar. Thx ! One Orelsan song's is the most beautiful for me and maked me cry when i listened it first time, it's "La petite marchande de porte-clefs" ("The little keychain merchant"). Talking about Orelsan without her, will do a nice Unfinished job ;p

[@vicariotamara808]

Hi dude First, thanks for lighting up some of the best french rappers. Nearly all the songs you've reacted to never goes on radio, or TV. They are the 'new generation" of writers. I'm 37 and I've started with the older generation of rappers, Wu-Tang, Snoop, DMX... And in France, there were a "battle" like East coast/West coast, but it was Paris/Marseille. Two types of rap. Paris was aggressive, rude lyrics and Marseille was more like poetry (in my opinion all right!). All this 'cause you may like to hear I AM (Marseille) with a huuuuuuuuuuuge freestyle that became a track called "Demain c'est loin" or "L'école du Micro d'argent" , and NTM (

[@marchombre06]

When he says that it will join his friends cause it's thursday it's because it is a day of celebration in french university. On my engineering school thrusday afternoon was free to do sports, art and eventually party for the nigth. Friday morning is also known as the morning with the les student because of the Thrusay's parties.

[@brendanwoolford5937]

That's the huge strength of Orelsan/Gringe/casseurs flowters' rap. It's so relatable and well written you can only like it

[@COberstIsGod]

I love seeing English dudes reacting to French song ! Long live our countries' friendship, best frenemies of the world ! Also you reacted to Orel's not scoring, but the legends say, he actually made it in one of the shots (unintentional ofc because that wouldn't fit very well with the theme of the song)

[@TheZwHD4210]

Thursday night is the night when colleges people go to bars and drink.

[@chucku00]

Great to see a reaction where a song makes you think about the way you live. I hope you're fine. Take care.

[@nicolasfournials9186]

the very name of the duo "casseurs flowteurs" is a tribute to Home Alone's French version of the Wet Bandits... And here is my version of the translation of the lyrics. I did my best with rythm and rhyming, I hope it's not too subpar... Orelsan I do not end my lines, no period as a stopper, I don’t rule fate, ‘twill be done tomorrow or the day after, Nothing is fine enough, never end anything, If I had to draw you a picture, half the lines would be missing, In tribute to all those opportunities wasted, To our stories dead before they even started, To hours wasted away, to buddies never called back, To the doors I slammed and jobs I left before getting sacked, To all that which I will leave Unfinished, unfinished, unfinished, Unfinished, unfinished, unfinished, As a teen, my whole life was to play ball, Of course, I blew it all for that one match I didn’t play at all, Obviously I’ll do the same when it comes to music my way, No need for a reason, wasn’t supposed to rap anyway, To all those uncomfortable truths I couldn’t face away. My girl busts my balls and I don’t have the balls to get away. Waiting for her to dump me, folded arms waiting for what comes next, fleeing forward, I’m waiting for Glory to send a text, Unable to make choices, I’m like my action figures Useless, stay-at-home, arms akimbo, uneager. Unfinished. A prototype. A version 0.0, Single answer to every question : « dunno ». Like an admission of defeat in the playlist, Feels like I quit in the middle of the setlist, I’ll only be half-sad if I half-ass I insist. And in the image of all up to now I won’t even finish my bar… Gringe Why does she wait for me when I while my nights playing away ? Why do I cowardly avoid confronting her when I feel she’s slipping away ? Can’t find an answer, Maybe I’m like Mario ? The head up in the sky seeking a secret life hidden away ? I lost the count of those (unfinished) relationships A girl or an improved wank, I can’t tell the diff’ So she angrily leaves anyway. I tried to straighten my shit, to approach her with roses, romantically, To save her from my nevroses, but like with school, I got tired quickly. And I feel this mad void (unfinished, unfinished) I never could finish shit save for what I tried to fail Detached completely, I listen to myself spinning tales The world might wait up for me even if only I believe it will We should sit and talk, chill Talk ? Let’s save that for tomorrow. It’s Happy Hour and I’m off to see my bros. Lousy Lifestyle, it’s a sad pill to swallow, Admitting truth I won’t, Conspiracies I spin, I’ve been faking for so long, hoping Time won’t let me in, Unable to see I have no haven left save for in peace restin’ Slow off the mark, I can’t go the distance, I’m mere milliseconds away from letting slip my one chance, My head fluffed with selfdoubt, mistaking doing nought with patience, ‘Tis not galantry if I say I’m gonna jump that fence Mediocrity starts where all passions die. Stupid, but I need that shit to feel my heart fly I wagered so much on my weaknesses and failures, I shoulda got a medal,my many absences earned me tenure. Watchu talkin’ about ? Talkin’ about me ! About owning choices. If you renounce, you got nothing, You don’t choose and I wanna be going places. So round and round we talk of leaving while we’re sitting, stuck. We don’t pull out but down, get used to this no-life fuck. Starting now, I own up to my rising whims, Not afraid of emptiness anymore, I’ll tackle that bottomless spiral pit. So I stop stopping, I give up giving up. If anything I’ll finish this song rapping up. So this is the first bar of my new life For the past 15 years they said « that too shall pass » If you heed those who sleep dreams never come true. Aging badly, coming fifty, want to die, this won’t do. So I’ll spit my last flow till I’m parched, And if that old habit of wanting to ruin it all comes back, make sure it’s latched. If’n ever that cabin explodes, I’ll rap even if acid rains I’ll bleed my wrists with broken glass to finish writing my pains, If Death comes knocking to tell me « I have come for you » Tell Her to come back later, to go away, to sing with us my rap is overdue, Or better yet, let me own up, let me scream « shut up ! I ain’t over bitch ! I ain’t droppin’ that mic until that story’s finished...

Hi ! I've just discovered your channel and it's very cool ! I really like how you take time to translate the lyrics, and have deeper research of some slang. I saw all your Orelsan's reacts, and I might advise you two of his songs. There is "Discipline", a short cool song with mad editing like in "Rêves Bizarres" feat Damso. The other is one of his best hits, "RaelSan" a deeper song from 2011. Keep up the good work !

[@KittanBachika]

"I never finished anything except what i decided to break" isn't correct "I never finished anything that i didn't planned to fail" is a better translation

[@romain8091]

@ Breaking Bars Hello, I love this title. Thanks for this react. If there's an English version of their movie "Comment c'est loin" you must have to watch it. The story of two born procrastinators: "the film tells about their daily life in an average provincial town. The problem: impossible to finish a song. At the end of a stormy session with their producers, they're up against the wall: 24 hours, it's the time they dispose to release a song worthy of the name." It's a really atypical and funny film, just like the rap of Orelsan and Gringe. I advise you to see it if it's available in an English subtitled version. Amitié from south France,

You should listen to Bigflo et Oli. They have a complicated relationship to Orelsan because he refused to sing with them, but it's actually become a joke in their songs (they don't seem to be real rivals).

[@womanonwearth]

For me "of course i left everything to play a single game where i didnt even play " is not correct. Orelsan says " of course i gave up because of one game where i didnt play" Like , he was on the bench, didnt play this single game , he was pissed so he gave up basketball. He was so immature and not persistent that he gave up his passion for a stupid reason. Here "pour" means "because of " not " to". In your sentence it feels like he pinned all his hopes in one game he didnt play so he failed but if you think about it it is not his fault... whereas the subject of the song is to explain that he quits to easily. Forgive my English level, I hope you 'll understand what i'm trying to say :))
