Guy Bonnet - Vivre - 🇫🇷 France - Eurovision 1983

[@stefanenglishman954]

*Beside his two own songs "Marie Blanche" and "Vivre", Guy Bonnet wrote the lyrics of the French song from Eurovision 1968 performed by Isabelle Aubret. This song was dedicated to the girl who was rape... and murde... in the wood which was unusual topic for a song at that time. RIP Guy Bonnet!* 😥

Fell in love with this song last year already. It makes me want to vivre! R.I.P guy bonnet!

[@swarzedzki]

The best of '83 and one of the best ever on EV.

[@bopmaster404]

I like that chord progression in the chorus a lot

[@Euroviking86]

My favorite song from 1983, a haunting and soaring song that gives me chills. How fortuitous too that Guy Bonnet's placement on the stage meant that he was the one artist unburdened by the backdrop of that hideous stage, lol. RIP Guy Bonnet, you are a Eurovision legend.

RIP 😔😔 I love this entry, his best

RIP Guy Bonnet (1945-2024) qui écrivit les paroles de "La Source " en 1968 pour Isabelle Aubret, inoubliable chanson qui permit à la France d'atteindre la 3ème chanson.

Great song by a great performer ❤❤❤

[@aitorroblesmorillas1386]

A young anthem in that 80s decade with a complete Artist GUY BONNET!!! Rest in Peace ❤🙏

[@lucinkaa3411]

After two months, this song is still stuck in my head. This lyrics are really touching and all song is fragile and strong at the same time. Moreover, this blue jacket really suited him that night 💙 Odpočívejte v pokoji monsieur Bonnet

Fulbert Cant est l'auteur de cette merveilleuse chanson qui a represente la France a l'Eurovision en 1983.

[@enayram1530]

Je ne me souvenais pas DU TOUT de cette chanson et encore moins de l'Eurovision 1983.... j'avais 24 ans .. Très jolie chanson et Guy avait vraiment une très belle voix.

[@zebras54]

I had a lot of admiration for this artist and then I found out he wrote La Source and now wow! Vivre is just gorgeous.

RIP Guy french eurovision legend , He also won with Elisabeth Aubret "Un premier amour"

[@DanTony68]

Not at all ! First, the lady's name is Isabelle*. Guy Bonnet wrote the lyrics of "La Source" in 1968. Isabelle ranked 3rd that year. But in 1962 the composers of "Un premier amour" were different people : Rolland Valade (lyricist) and Claude-Henri Vic (composer).

Drawn first in the running order of the 1983 Eurovision Song Contest in Munich when France returned to the festival after their 1982 non-participation. In my personal opinion Guy Bonnet always contributed very beautiful entries of high quality to Eurovision. Adieu, Guy ... 🌠

Rest in peace Guy, I LOVED both of your entries especially this one which I can sing by heart! I will never forget you, ❤ from Serbia. May your soul find peace. Počivaj u miru.

"Hallelujah" was my number one in Jerusalem 1979 - it's a signature song of Eurovision ever since! 💙 Israel 💛 Ukraine

It's been a month. Meanwhile, Guy has died recently. They would also have to ask permission from the Israeli archives.

It's not bad, but it's not as good as "Si la vie est un cadeau" by Corinne Hermès, which France had declined for this year's contest. So Corinne Hermès sang it for Luxembourg, and won. 😄

[@francisdoxi-cohen1011]

La chanson "vivre est tellement plus profonde et vous n'avez pas acces a son sens secret.

[@matthewleslie4448]

How this didn't win that year I don't know. Even more of a shock that it came 8th. That Euro-disco effort from Luxembourg that won was awful.

[@francisdoxi-cohen1011]

"Vivre" a gagne en France car ce fut le choix du public. Apres ce fut un "arrangement" entre les maisons de disques, bref la magouille des affairistes.

[@romangoeland700]

Where is the live performance of Mon Amour????? 🇫🇷

[@DanTony68]

I guess you named the wrong title if you were refering to "Un Premier Amour" which was sung by Isabelle Aubret in 1962 (winner for France). Guy Bonnet didn't write or compose this song but two other artists : Rolland Valade (lyricist) and Claude-Henri Vic (composer).

[@ArthurVL]

​@@DanTony68 nah he's talking about the French entry from this year's Eurovision.

[@DanTony68]

@@ArthurVL Oh, ok. I didn't think about it at all due to the context of Bonnet's death.

[@DanTony68]

If you look for "Slimane Mon Amour Live performance", you'll find it very easily, especially on the official channel of Slimane himself and also on the official channel of Eurovision France.
