“Qui Je Plaisante” Practice

[@lungotv15]

I think it's my first ever KZbin comment in more than 10 years but I highly regard everything you write Mike. It's really touching and beautiful and this probably be an understatement. Looking forward for the new album. Btw "Who am I kidding?" would be translated by "De qui je me moque ?" in French if by that you meant "Who am I making fun of ?". Anyway greetings from Brussels

[@henriqueamorim3927]

best t-shirt ever

[@ashen_scores]

While listening to this song, I just listened to the voicemails that my girlfriend, who works abroad and is far from me, just sent me. Your music makes life poetic. Thank you Mike

[@carolinesperidiao172]

[@aaronberez2257]

Love this Mike. Hope you and the kids have a wonderful holiday.

Aren’t you one of the American Football/ Cap’n Jazz/ a million other bands guys? 😂. Why is no one following you on here? We live in such a weird time ir seems like everyone knows who American Football is. This may be kind of rude and I apologize for that but I am finding myself flabbergasted by this contrast. Anyway, cheers mate big fan midwest emo for life congratulations on saving the house in Champaign I live in Bloomington. Midwest baby!!!! We really got that dog in us out here

[@Tasteless_87]

To answer your first question yes he is! He is one of the pioneers of Midwest emo, and as you can see, he’s still got it in spades. Unfortunately, his solo stuff has always been criminally underrated.

Gorgeous song My favorite on the album, need the tabs

[@mattiaberselli7698]

I'm so excited for this album to drop so that I can try to learn all of these new songs, thank you mike as always.

[@lucascarmow]

HOLY SHIT THE T-SHIRT

[@Steven-wm9vu]

Thank you

[@keithbrand6815]

Who am I kidding? = Tu parles I know it's weird cause it translates to "you speak" but c'est comme ça. 😊Je plaisante is "I'm kidding" Either way, love the song as is, keep on inspiring and writing sweet music!

[@vgbondarev]

Happy holidays to you and the family, Mike.

[@BeardnScars]

Very nice ❤

[@daninrecovery]

Great Mike.

[@PearlsBeforeSwine224]

That is correct use of French, Mike Kinsella. Lovely guitar playing 🍀

[@acidmuert]

mikes baaackkk

[@gexfa]

mitocôndria 🤟🏻

[@FriendOfTheNight24]

(French fan here) it doesn’t translate literally, the closest equivalent would be « de qui se moque-t-on? »

[@Lua-qp5mf]

omg mitocôndria HIIIIIIIII

[@renankiyota4968]

Mitocôndria!!!!!

[@ganglestank]

Not my usual genre but beautiful songwriting my friend

[@zackgerczak2973]

Thats the fucking stuff

[@LOP4795]

Can the "Ooop?.... Oh shit..." be part of the actual song? It kind of fit.

[@Dog0nWheels]

Tuning wizards, any ideas?

[@quintontrembath6104]

I misheard "Qui Je Plaisante" as " cliche plays on"

[@Miguelohara]

I can't easily understand what would be the english title of the song. Can you tell me ? I'm french and I'd like to understand what was the original meaning.

[@ab-pi8me]

he says what he meant in the first second of the video. Did you watch the video or just comment?

[@Miguelohara]

@@ab-pi8me I listened but I cannot fully understand what he said.

[@valuesrejected]

⁠He says that the title is “probably” an incorrect translation of the phrase “Who am I kidding?” There is a line in the song that indicates he wants to learn another language (in this case, French) but doesn’t ultimately make the effort. So the mistranslation in the title comes full circle - he half-assed the effort, ergo the title is poorly translated.

[@Miguelohara]

@@valuesrejected Thanks.

[@valuesrejected]

@@MigueloharaNo problem 👍👍
