At the end Jacques Brel shows the place where he writes his songs, Usually standing like Victor Hugo. Then he explains how the songs come to him, a long process that can take months. "one evening when we are tired we have an idea and this idea we let it ripen then we leaf it like a fruit" and at the end he wants to listen to a song in gestation "the monkeys"

Hello Dereck! Thank you for this great song! Here’s what Jacques Brel says at the end of the video: "Maybe it’s time I took you to my house. Here it is, on the fifth floor with no elevator. Well, here’s my desk. That’s where I write my songs. Victor Hugo also wrote standing up. Not songs, poems. The only reason I bring that to your attention is that there are illustrious elders. When I say I write songs there, that’s not true. In reality, a song is quite an adventure, a long adventure. One evening, we are very tired, we have an idea. A precise idea but not complete. So this idea goes around you for weeks, months, four, five or six months and it matures, and one day, when it’s ripe, like fruit, you take the idea, a pen and a piece of paper, you write a song there. If you want, I can show you what happens to a song that’s being made. It’s three or four months old. It’s not over at all. It’s called "The Monkeys," and it’s kind of mean." Thank you for sharing such beautiful songs!

Thank you!

There is a lot of wordplays in it : "La valse à 20 temps" (Waltz at 20 beats) sounds like "La valse à 20ans" (Waltz at 20 years old), and "La valse à 1000 temps" (Waltz at 1000 beats) sounds like "La valse à mis le temps." (Waltz took her time) and more…

Very "elaborated" song, including in its lyrics some puns and cumulation of meaning, relevantely associated with the increasing and heady rythm. Brilliant song producing as well, some very nice images thanks to semiotic skills used for the most obvious application (artistic) of some tricks like "The langage of the birds".

The interview part has Jacques talking about his songwriting process. The stand he shows is where he wrote. He said he liked writing standing up like Victor Hugo. Although he adds writing a song doesn't start at his desk. Usually, he gets ideas late in the evening when he's tired. He lets the idea mature in his head for several months before he starts writing it down.

You might have heard the first European rapper ever. There are known artists and video's available from even older than 60 years, but this is phenomenal. He also sings a song called "Vesoul". I think he goes as fast as the trip he is singing about. Maybe even aster than in this video. Mr. Brel is an amazing artist and performer. Thanks for sharing this amazing artist... 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🌷

His interviews are fascinating, really put into perspective the level of current "singers"

Monsieur Jacques Brel, le Grand Jacques... Fantastic Belgian artist, musician, poet... A national legend 🇧🇪🇧🇪🇧🇪

One of my very favourite songs by Brel. Never before heard any singer go so fast and at the same time understanding every word. I do prefer the video where he is on stage - it hits you in your guts

The instrument you hear is not a flute, but a barrel organ. It's a mechanical instrument that works like an organ, however it is not played by an organist but by a person turning a crank. The melody is encoded on a wooden cylinder, and it works a bit like the old mechanical pianos.

That’s why this song is often used in the singing contests. Not everyone can sing it. This is a real challenge. Yeah, he shows crazy skills in this song. Faster than that, it’s Scat. I love so much the atmosphere of this song. I feel like I am transported at the « Belle Époque » at a hoedown.

Next Jacques Brel reaction : " Ces gens là " ....

The lyrics are very important in Brel's espacially in this one because he plays on the words that stick to the time of this waltz.

another song with difficult translation because of words play. "une valse a cent temps" = "a walz with 100 beats" sound the same than "une valse s'a s'entend" = "a walz is heard" And "une valse a mille temps" = "a walz with 1000 beats" sound the same than " une valse a mit le temps" = "a walz takes the time."

The great james ( Jacques BREL)

He Said « a song is like a fruit , you begin to think about and when it’s ready you go for it …, Brel was a Genius !Thankd !

There is a parody of this song by the comedian Jean Poiret "La Vache à Mille Francs". It's nearly as old as the og. He talks about the fact that consumers pays so much for a little piece of meat, but the farmer who raised the cow is payed so poorly. And he asks where does the money go. It surprised me to learn that this problem exists forever.

Brel had maybe some difficulties at the beginning in Belgium, but after that he was very successful in his country, and did plenty of concerts there. and the first Belgian king was Leopold Ier, aka Leopold de Saxe-Cobourg Gotha, who was a German prince... Louis d'Orleans was a candidate, but his father, the king Louis-Philippe Ier, refused to avoid any risk of war, you're probably mixing with that. We definitely don't have all French names, my own name is a derivative of a word in an old local language, and many Belgian names come from the Flemish too.

You are on youtube dude, use it wisely... Like all Belgians, you would like to rewrite history, but you can't, it's too late. It's already written. As for your king, ask yourself why he has French royal blood from Orleans, directly descended from Louis XIV and not from SaxonyS. I didn't say that all Belgians had a French name. I even specify that I am not talking about the non speaking french belgium. I'm talking about the Walloons. Moreover, in 1830, all of Belgium spoke French and not Dutch. You can't rewrite that either. Most of those with a French name come from Picardy, France. But back to Brel. No one says he wasn't Belgian but that it was only France that made him a star, not Belgium who rejected him according to HIS own words. Even his films are only French movies. You want to rewrite history but you fell very badly there. It is not because I contradict you in your stupidity and your ignorance that I am not calm. Your mega ego is in question, not the reality of the facts. Belgium receives France television, which is a group of public channels in France, paid for by the French taxpayer, not by you. You also receive private channels and it's every time because the Belgians demand it. And yes, when you take yourself too seriously it ends badly. You can't argue about french fries because it's authenticated French. France is 2000 years old, unlike you. We have a lot of documentation. You're supposed to be a French speaker, but you haven't said a single word of French. As usual, the mythomaniacs well-known belgians. Don't try to rewrite history, it's too late for Brel.

6:22 Very interesting suddenly I translate Well here is my writing desk, this is where I write my songs. Victor Hugo also wrote standing up, not songs. But I am telling you this only to tell you that there are illustrious elders. When I tell you that I write my songs, it's not true, in reality the songs are quite an adventure, a long adventure. One evening we are very tired we have an idea ... A precise idea but not complete. So this idea wanders around you for weeks, months ... 4 or 6 months, and it matures. And on a good day when it's ripe like a good fruit pof, we take the idea, we take a pen, a sheet of paper, and we write a song. If you want I can show you what a song is in the process of being made, the one if at 3 or 4 months it's not finished at all it's called "les singes" and it's a bit nasty by the way. .

Thanks Dereck! I knew you would approve of it. Jacques Brel is quite a vocalist! It s a hard song to sing well but he did.

Amazing song, i know when i m drunk when il can t sing it because it s faster than Eminem flow .

What can be hard to catch if you do not speak french is the double meanings in many sentences: For instance "la valse à mille temps" can be heard when read in franch as "La valse a mis le temps" "a 1000 beats valz" can be heard "a valz took its time" "la valse à 100 temps" can be heard " la valse ça s entend" or "la valse à 100 ans" wich means "the 100 beats valz" can be understood also when you read it in french as "a valz can be heard" or "a valz when you re 100 years old" "La valse à 20 temps" can be understood in french "la valse à 20 ans" "the 100 beats valz"can also be understood in french "the valz when you re 20 years old" and many more... And whatever the meaning you catch while listening at this song, it always fits naturally with the lyric that follows. Thia song is an unique object both in its structure as in its flow. A masterpiece.

A very good one, but i prefer "les remparts de Varsovie" 🙄
