Ok Dereck you're really becoming a specialist of french bands of th 80-90 period! I saw in the previous comments that someone suggested Mano Negra. That is INDEED a great choice. They used to sing in french (of course) spanish (a lot) english and some lyrics are even in arab! You DEFINITELY need to check their live performance too! May I suggest another very popular french rock band of the same period: TELEPHONE. (check songs like "Hygiaphone" (their first success) or "Ca c'est vraiment toi" a very catchy tune). In a more heavy style check also TRUST and their song "Antisocial". Congrats for your channel!

Muriel Laporte and Daniel Chenevez were a couple (much like their contemporaries the Rita Mitsouko). Generally, Muriel wrote the lyrics and Daniel arranged the music and directed the videos. In 1990 French popular music became a lot darker because of foreboding about coming wars and the beginning of the severe recession of the early 90s. This song was written at the same time as Mylène Farmer's "Désenchantée" and Jean Leloup's "1990". There had just been the Tiananmen massacre in 1989, an Israeli invasion and bombing of Beirut I think around 1988 or 89 (the song mentions Lebanon and Beijing). Although the Soviet Union hadn't collapsed yet, the Berlin wall had fallen and it`s mentioned in the song. The Gulf War was about to begin, and trouble was already brewing in the periphery of the former Soviet block. Apartheid was ending and many apprehended a race-war massacre (which ended up happening in Rwanda 4 years later, not in South Africa). Also their marriage was in trouble. Niagara broke up about a year after this album was released.

[@chrysdes]

no non Muriel wrote the lyrics and the music too

Thx for the video Dereck. I'm surprised that noone mentionned "Quand la ville dort", classic 80's song and probably one of their biggest hit. Also you should react to Axel Bauer - Cargo, I'm sure you will enjoy this one. Typical 80's sounds and interesting MVC.

[@ligiorina]

Agree for "Cargo de nuit"

[@cecilea6938]

Pour moi ça parle du fait qu'on devient blasés de toutes les guerres et tous les malheurs qu'on voit sans cesse, en permanence, à la télé (maintenant sur internet). Au début de la vidéo Dereck signale la lumière bleutée sur le noir et blanc, et Muriel dit "Accrochée à ma fenêtre bleutée", ça nous montre nous éclairés en bleu par notre écran. Plus tard Dereck dit que les choristes répètent les fins de phrases, mais ce n'est pas n'importe quels mots, c'est "Guerre, Sang, Mort", pour bien insister sur ce que les écrans nous infligent à longueur de temps et qui à force nous devient indifférent, et Muriel dit "Le pire est à craindre pour demain, Ça ne me fait rien". Rien n'a changé.

[@cescargot]

This song is about people seeing disaster as spectators (TV or IRL) : lots emotional first but remaining spectators. These where time where lots of NGO where being created and lots of disaster where shown on TV. What is the impact on people after they say "I have seen"👌 Little .. so little... This is the key of the song, this is part of human nature.

[@ppatocthereturn04]

Always a great pleasure to see your reacts about french songs because it's not your original universe so it's very interesting. And you continue to make me laugh when you are in symbiose with the song. ^^

[@florianfernandez443]

I'm a big fan of Niagara, the best french duet ever! "J'ai vu" is a pop rock song which became a classic in France. "Religion" was their biggest success. Thanks to MTV -Niagara was their first French artists to be sponsored by in the 90's- they did a lot of live concerts sold out in Europe. You can watch their last videos "un million d'années" and "le minotaure" before they splitted off in 1993. After, they did a solo career not very successfull but very interesting. In the 2000's Muriel Moreno also did "Dynamo", a great techno house group with songs like "river of no return", "I wish I was a boy" and "bark like a dog" : awesome!

[@frozzymad]

Derek, crosses was fashion in the 80’s (see madonna with like a prayer etc...) we are in the beginning of 90’s that’s normal.

[@TheFantasyClinic]

thank you for giving so much attention to French-language music. Being a teen in the 80's/early 90's there wasn't a LOT of options for young Francophones to listen to...Les Ritas Mitsouko, Niagara, Mitsou, Mylene Farmer were few modern options at the time. You should check out kzbin.info/www/bejne/kHK2fYubbZufpNU by Lili Fatale they were from Quebec city and moved to Montreal and I remember they had a few "hits" on heavy rotation. They had a cool hybrid sound and the lead singer was gorgeous!!

The song is about seing conflicts all around the world on TV like bein'on the front line and becoming slowly numb about world suffering. She's presenting it like she was part of all those conflicts, and talks about it as a survivor all though she was just a spectator. It is a really dark song, extremely cynique too.

@Dereck Reacts Hello, You're right, it's well a harmonica which is played and not an electric guitar. But it's true that they're two close sounds when the harmonica player's particularly gifted and uses a chromatic piston harmonica. I remember a band played at "La taverne de Nesle", a café-concert in the "Quartier Latin" (Paris city center district) in the 90s. The band covered very famous French or English hits and the singer was also a harmonica player. This guy played the harmonica like an electric guitar. It was really very impressive to hear the incredible sounds that such a small instrument with this piston coupled with a microphone can produce. Amitiés,

[@fabienneclavier5984]

Love that song. You should try an Aurora song, like “the river” for instance. She is such an interesting singer. Or the live version of Wardruna’s Helvegen she took part in. Mind blowing.

[@haileene703]

Speaking of brass instruments... A very iconic instrumental only from the end of the 80's... Would love to see a react on this very beautiful song from Dave Stewart and Candy Dulfer "Lily was here".

Hi Dereck! I suggest you give Niagara's "La Fin Des Étoiles" ("Stars' End") and "Un Million D'Années" ("A Million Years") a listen and watch. They're a couple of pop-rock songs (both are singles with cool music videos) from their 4th & last album "La Vérité" ("The Truth") that was a sequel to the previous one ("Religion"). You'd absolutely love them! Keep up the good work. Take care.

[@JackNapierDe]

My favorite by Niagara would be "Un million d'années". The ballad "La fin des étoiles" was probably one of the better known songs of Niagara in Germany. How about a little field trip from France to Switzerland, checking some YELLO (Boris Blank & Dieter Meier), pioneers of electronic music

Hello Dereck, Niagara was a hell of interesting band. maybe would you like to check out Trust's "antisocial" (covered later by Anthrax), or "on leche, on lache, on lynche".

Thanks for that. Very interesting your react from France. Have you heard about FFF (french funk fédération). A 90's band . A mix between rock/funk. Pretty sure you ' d be surprised. But , in fact, the one I'd really love you to discover is "M". (Mathieu Chedid) He has his own univers. So amazing. A fantastic musicien and show man. "Machistador" was his first hit . Funky. Recently you can find "le bal de bamako" Lives are often, not always, more rock (he's a famous guitarist) clips mode funky. But I think any live is Better than studio. I think you may enjoy.
