WHY AM I DONG IT THIS WAY?
A lot of channels do Patreon or KZbin Memberships at a cost to the viewer which puts a lot of content behind a paywall, meaning it is pay to view, and a large amount of the subscriber base miss out on a lot of content, or the quality of the content available to non members reduces. I don’t like this approach.
My way - EVERY one will get to see ALL content. If you aren’t in a position to donate - you still get to see ALL content and your current experience of the channel will NOT change at all. If you do want to support the channel then you get to decide how I prioritise the videos.

I know for me I can be in a room full of people and still feel alone. Loneliness is hard for me to deal with. Some of these songs I hear can be triggering but I work with my therapist so that I can work through it. Its such a beautiful song. Great reaction. Always excited to hear your take on these songs.

Thank you for sharing Leslie, sounds really difficult, I’m glad you’ve reached out to a therapist. Take care.

I was one of several people who recommended it and am so happy that you reacted to it! The first time he did sing this was on live television in the middle of an interview on the normal news broadcast, surprising all the viewers. Such a bold move to bring awareness to this topic.

Great recommendation thank you.

I really like the new format with more details and schema ! Thank you for this amazing channel, my favorite one.

[@TherapistReactsOfficial]

Thanks for the feedback. I’ve got a couple of older videos to still upload then i think all the new ones will be in this format, glad you like it. I’ll probably only mention models etc as I remember them in the moment though!

Loneliness can be such a killer, but when people try to escape from that loneliness and constant thoughts associated with it, and run away from their own mind; they come to realise this is never really the answer. However, the solution to dealing with loneliness isn’t often that simple either. Often when people confide in others and talk about being lonely, the solution generally offered in return is to join some groups or look for hobbies with like minded people. However, often people don’t need company or to simply be with others doing an enjoyable thing, rather they are seeking a deeper connection with a small close knit group of really like minded people. Also when some people try to make connections they are, like you pointed out, thwarted for whatever reason and if this happens consistently then this leads people to give up trying to involve themselves with others. This leads to isolation and perhaps the aspiration to end things and be free of the feelings of not being liked/appreciated , good enough or someone worth valuing. I think this track expresses this whole idea very well. I wonder if he ever did a track looking into his solution for all of this.

Really awesome reaction,the way you interpreted everything, lots of people don't do that,by the way would love to see your reaction to another song for this talented artist, it's called (fils de joie). I must say you really have to listen closely to get the meaning of it because it's sung by 4 different perspectives Great video regardless 👍🏻🩵

You shall be commended to try and analyse from a psychological point of view songs that are not in a language you speak. You miss a lot of subtle details in the translation. Stromae is very shy despite being an artist, and it shows in his lyrics. As in "Papaoutai", he uses a lot of images, analogies, synonyms and word plays that the translation doesn't tell. The way the sentences are cut half way gives them another, stronger meaning. Well, it is art, it is poetry. Maybe you could get some more details in his play in this video: eyes tilting, short of breath, head hits, etc. You know how much good just talking about this subject can do. Stromae is known to talk about dark subjects over dancing music, thus rising awareness. Plus, his art is very deep, poetic and beautiful. That class of artist is always needed. Sending my best regards to you and your viewers.

Thank you for your comment. After the track and when I was putting the video together I had a look at other translations of the lyrics to see how accurate KZbin’s substitutes were. I actually found about 4 or 5 all with slightly different variations of what was being said. I hope I managed to discuss the main themes in a way that makes sense to what Stromae was trying to get across! Thanks for the comment.

[@Joshua-f9f]
