Their adventure starts with a rather classical approach: arranging playlists fed with music they like. They gradually added what would become their trademark: the grain of a personality's voice on mixed music. Their format is declined during 5 years, 40 mixtapes, more than 70 million listening. A quality signature. Bon Entendeur has this desire to talk about culture in its original version. This sense of aestheticism, of appropriateness. And of the stage. Behind the turntables, they mix their tributes and move the packed halls on a very fine sound. They also have the audacity to never run out of ideas, and in 2015 they offered their first revisit of a song from the 70s, Le temps est bon. A success.
Their album Aller-Retour concentrates their DNA: it is composed of revisited songs from the 60s and 70s and original productions mixed with interviews. All elegantly arranged in 14 tracks. Bon Entendeur creates sounds that are new, that go back and forth with their inventive digital generation and the immense heritage of their predecessors.
Tu fais partie du passé
Bon Entendeur Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Je ne suis pas la fille dont tu parlais
Une vie c'est bien trop court
Pour ne pas en profiter
Comment as-tu pu t'imaginer
Que je pourrais vivre les yeux baissés?
Il y a tout autour de moi trop de choses à regarder
Bon Entendeur's song "Tu fais partie du passé" is a powerful anthem of self-realization and independence. The lyrics reflect a conversation between two friends, with the singer asserting their individuality and rejecting the expectations placed upon them by their companion. The opening lines, "Mon ami, je crois que tu t'es trompé, Je ne suis pas la fille dont tu parlais," convey the singer's refusal to conform to the image that their friend has projected onto them.
The following lines, "Une vie c'est bien trop court, Pour ne pas en profiter," express a determination to make the most out of life, suggesting that the singer refuses to be held back by societal constraints or the opinions of others. They emphasize the importance of seizing opportunities and living in the present moment, rather than allowing themselves to be trapped in the past.
In the second verse, the singer questions their friend's assumption that they could live with their eyes lowered and unaware of the world around them. They assert that there are too many things to observe and appreciate in their surroundings, suggesting a heightened sense of awareness and curiosity about life. This refusal to be passive and their intention to actively engage with their environment further underline the theme of independence and personal growth.
Overall, "Tu fais partie du passé" celebrates the individual's right to embrace their own path, reject societal expectations, and live a life filled with self-discovery and adventure.
