Tellier's first album, L'incroyable Vérité (The Incredible Truth), was released in 2001. Tellier went on tour with Air in support of the album. The track " Fantino" off the album was chosen by Sofia Coppola for the soundtrack to her 2003 film "Lost in Translation". Tellier followed L'incroyable Vérité with his second studio album Politics (2005). A particularly popular song from Politics was "La Ritournelle", a string-led tune, which featured Nigerian drummer, Tony Allen of Fela Kuti fame. "La Ritournelle" was remixed by various artists, notably in Britain by Metronomy.
Since the release of Politics, Tellier has also recorded an acoustic album of his more popular songs, Sessions (2006). The album was repackaged for the British market as Universe (2006), to include both highlights from the French CD, as well as compositions from Tellier's score for the film Narco.
His third studio album Sexuality was produced by Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo of Daft Punk. Like his previous album Politics, Tellier used a single term as title and theme of the album.
On 7 March 2008, it was announced by Bruno Berberes, head of EBU delegation in France, that Tellier would represent France in the Eurovision Song Contest 2008. It was held in Belgrade on 24 May 2008. Tellier sang "Divine". This was the first time in the history of the contest that the nominated French entry was to be performed largely in English, which caused controversy, leading to Tellier pledging to increase the amount of French in the song prior to the competition itself.

L'amour et la violence
The song "L'amour et la violence" by Sebastien Tellier is a beautiful, melancholic song with an emotional depth that resonates with the listener. The lyrics are simple but powerful, asking the listener to reflect on their thoughts about life, adolescence, love, and violence. The repetition of the phrase "dis-moi ce que tu penses" (tell me what you think) throughout the song creates a sense of vulnerability and openness, as if the singer is inviting the listener to share their own thoughts.
The line "j'aime aussi l'amour et la violence" (I also love love and violence) is particularly intriguing. On the one hand, it suggests a certain level of comfort with and appreciation for the darker aspects of life. But on the other hand, it also hints at a certain fear or uncertainty about what love and violence mean, and how they intersect. Perhaps the singer is questioning the relationship between these two powerful, often opposing forces.
Overall, the song is a beautiful and poignant exploration of life's complexities. It encourages the listener to reflect on their own experiences, and to embrace both the light and dark aspects of the human experience.

I remember sitting on a bus, and I heard the words uttered so humbly:
Dis moi ce que tu penses
De ma Vie
De mon Adolescence.
Dis moi ce que tu penses
J'aime aussi
L'Amour et la Violence...
And I began to cry tears that one cries once in a lifetime.

I drove for uber for 4 years in Guadalajara and Puerto Vallarta (Mexico). I think it was 2016 or 2017 when I met this song from a passenger, since then I’ve come from time to time and been listening to his other works. Sometimes you discover something from a stranger and it becomes so special to you. I think that i would never find this out by my own
