Ça faisait longtemps que je ne m'étais pas sentie aussi heureuse, que je n'avais pas eu cette sensation de me dire "wahou, c'est trop bien ce que je vis, c'est complètement fou d'être ici, j'ai beaucoup trop de chance".
tagged by @the-magpieprince to expose the top 5 songs on my on repeat list. so here we go
(I was tagged ages ago but blame tumblr for only giving me the notification now)
see babe I don't only listen to Eminem (I'm legit surprised there aren't more of his songs in here. they're all later on 😂)
I'm tagging @shameless-notashamed, @omnivorousshipper, @beautifulcheat, @builtfromthesamestar (if you don't wanna do it, this is me giving you a hot chocolate and a piece of baguette I just bought)
Hier on a été au concert de Bigflo et Oli, c’était mon premier vrai concert (aussi gros du moins) et bon c’était 90% d’attente mais ça valait vraiment le coup. J’ai mal à la gorge tellement j’ai hurlé, mal aux jambes tellement j’ai dansé.
J’ai vu Julien Granel (💕), Theodort et Dinos aussi et franchement c’était geniaaaal. Avec Léo on était comme des gosses a sauter et à hurler.
Quand j’ai vu Julien j’avais envie de pleurer pcq j’ai réalisé que j’avais réussi ce qu’un an auparavant j’aurai été incapable de faire. C’est un câlin à moi-même.
So I was listening to some French songs this morning in the shower, which happened to be rap songs. Or rap-adjacent songs/songs by rappers, at least x)
Anyway, I'm not here to show off, I'm just here to share some rap/rap-adjacent music I enjoy which is also in French, in case anyone is curious.
French Kiss - Black M
(I remembered this song, listened to it, the youtube algorithm did the rest).
youtube
Sur ma route - Black M
youtube
Tu vas me manquer - Maître Gims
youtube
Dommage - Bigflo et Oli
youtube
Marly Gomont - Kamini
(This one is goofier than the others but also my entire family listened to this on repeat when it came out because it is a Very Accurate account of life in deep rural France. Literally I can tick every item he lists from his place in Normandy to the under-300 people village I grew up in on the other side of the country. I don't think I'll ever not be fond of this song xD)
