My best friend of over a decade passed away suddenly 2 weeks ago. This was the song he always loved and had said if he ever died, should be his funeral song. I played it to him at the funeral home standing over him so he'd hear it one last time. I never appreciated this song as much as I do now.

La nostalgie, c’est le bonheur d’être triste

This song is the portrait of an ideal relationship for me: few words, strong feelings.

I love all people that love this song. They have to be good people !!

I was 21 when I dedicated this song to the lover I had back then, we were at the beach it was night and we went to sleep together, next to the fire, listening to music cuddling naked in bed. It was such a bliss to find a song that could tell him how I felt for him, the sounds taking all my insides out for him to hear, it was such a reveal. I wanted it all with that dude, I found him so fascinating. Now I'm 25 and he stopped loving me. I realised all the love I tried to give or transmit with this piece came back to me. I now dedicate my love to myself. And I feel so magical for being able to hold such love for someone else. This song will forever be the souvenir of that experience❤️.

This song makes me feel nostalgic for things that aren't gone yet.

Дунёнинг энг гўзал ашуласи! ❤

One of the best drum performances in music history.

C'est ce morceau qu'il faudrait mettre en fin de soirée de boite de nuit, lors d'un samedi soir. Une dernière valse avec tes amis Enlacé vers ta nouvelle amie Annonçant le départ Lors d'un dimanche matin pas si tard C'est fou comme le temps file dans notre clepsydre, ce morceau que j'ai entendu enfant, vient juste de réussir à débloquer des sentiments, des images profondes au sein de mon âme. Regrets, bonheurs, enfance et tout le tumulte émotif. Le pouvoir de la musique te transcende sur un simple Pitch mélangé à divers notes. Ta ritournelle me retourne comme Hope de Bugge Wesseltoft. Je ne remercierai jamais assez mon père de m'avoir donné cette culture musicale à mes 7ans avec mon premier Mac et un iTunes de +3'000 morceaux. La Ritournelle, c'est le morceau que j'ai envie de faire écouter au monde et surtout aux jeunes.Rappeler les sentiments de la vie..Et que la vie file aussi vite qu'un épisode de Netflix... Santé et bonheur à vous tous qui me lisent

The wonderful Tony Allen on drums, now sadly lost to us.

When the world ends, this song would make for an amazing credits section.

Imagine driving around the streets of Paris to this masterpiece

What a masterpiece it is. The power of repetition.

A song of good defeats evil

Musique de fin d'après midi d'automne, quand tu sais pas si t'es heureux ou déprimé

Ca fait 11 ans que je l'écoute et elle me fait toujours le même effet c'est plus qu'une musique elle rentre en nous pour titiller nos cordes sensibles et sans prévenir faire couler nos larmes comme avec les daft, M83 pur ne citer qu'eux, je suis fier d'être français!! la french touch juste sublime

For some reason this collection of notes gives me the strongest feelings of sad nostalgia

The build up to the singing is absolutely incredible

This song has different meanings depending on what period of your life you're in. Teenage years, mid-twenties, early adulthood, parenthood, retirement.

My bf died almost two weeks ago now. On the last saturday we spent together we stood in the car outside his house and listened to this song, it felt like magic :*

This song was apart of a UKposts playlist, before the girl of my dreams arrived at my tiny home it started playing, my ears pricked up & I knew it was going to be “our song” she wrote out the words in a shape of a love heart, now she’s gone from my life, this song haunts me to the core, I miss her very much.

My boy doesnt make music very often but when he does he makes people rethink life itself 😌

When my nan died on her kitchen floor in front of me. I went back to clear her house and this was on the radio . Made me think of our good times . Reminds me of her

Who's listening to this in 2021, in lockdown, in solitude, in despair that we'll ever get back to normal life after this pandemic eventually comes to an end. Thankful for this quality piece of music to get through each day........merci beaucoup.

Ce qui est magnifique avec ce morceau, c'est qu'en fonction de ton point de vue, il peut te faire dégager des sentiments tellement divers, de la colère à la mélancolie en passant par la joie, c'est absolument sublime.

Sadness and hope both rolled into one incredible song. Memories of things gone, and things still yet to have been lived.

😪 A very good friend of mine (best man at 1st wedding) passed away recently,after a short battle with cancer, knew him all my adult life, we spent a great summer djing in Corfu, and shortly after while going through his many many House and dance tunes with his son, I was amazed to find this, I also have on vinyl, but I didn't know he even knew the song or liked it, we listened to it with some of his family, there where tears... now I shall have this at my funeral ❤

Seventeen years I've loved this song and the emotion it stirs never lessens.

Philippe Zdar , the producer behind this song , died today He worked with phoenix , rapture , cat power , Cassius , cut copy , Tellier..... Rip

Oh, nothing's gonna change my love for you I wanna spend my life with you So we'll make love on the grass under the moon No one can tell, damned if I do Forever journeys on golden avenues I drift in your eyes since I love you I got that beat in my veins for only rule Love is to share, mine is for you

This song is underrated... but then again was made for a select few like us. 👌🏽😭✊🏿

I found this song today, it makes me wonder what other masterpieces are waiting ahead in time for me, what songs that make me cry songs that make me laugh songs like this that give me that peace that i can't bring to myself yet. There are few words that can describe this feeling, this beauty

11 million views is not enough. Everyone needs to hear and actually listen to this song

It took me 7 years to find this song again! Now I can rest in peace 🥲

This song's reputation grows with each passing year. If humanity is still around at the end of the twenty-first century, this might be the only song from the first decade that anyone will even know. Most pop songs are ephemeral but this is timeless.

Merci pour ce moment des années plus tard je réécoute ce morceau et toujours la chaire de poule

This make feel infinite and very small at the same time.

Pain. Hate. Trouble. Redemption. Forgiveness. Love. Life.

Listening to this song on vacation in France while my oldest son underwent surgery. My wife stays with him for the night, while our two other kids and me sleep at our cottage a few dozen kilometres away. It hurts. Love to everyone and their families. X

This was my wedding song, we eloped, so it was just us, this music and the scottish wild countryside.

I always come back to this one.

Pourquoi cette musique me fait penser, à chaque fois, à mon grand amour perdu...tous les souvenirs avec elle me reviennent à chaque fois, et je regrette tout...

This will have to be my funeral song I think. Masterpiece

Takes me on a spiritual journey everytime I play it, to a place where there's no hatred, racism, social ills and in justice. A place where we all belong and smile from the depths of our hearts. 😔

Avec cette music, il faut marcher lentement, puis courir progressivement.

Sébastien is an outstanding pianist and composer. The way he develops the melody and builds emotion is truely poignant.

this song brings me peace but reminds one day this will all be over at the same time. feels like it could only be placed at an ending of something. it's beautiful, hard to put into words.

Enivrante, mélancolique,il suffit de fermer les yeux et de laisser son imagination faire le reste... Rien de moin qu'une masterpiece !

This song makes me cry every time I hear it. It’s incredible 😭

This is just one of the most underrated artist of all time.

This song started to play in the car when I was coming back home after breaking up with someone I really loved so much!!! Its my farewell song

The violin guy, I just want to add you're a +1 to the lyrics. Sebastián mate love from India 🇮🇳

This might be my favourite song of all time.

This song is one of the most beautiful tracks I've ever heard in my life. There's such a haunting quality to it and can't put my finger on.

I want to be stuck in this song forever

Un petit chef d'œuvre ❤ Magnifique ❤ J'adore ❤❤❤

I've been listening to this music since I was a child. It is a crime this mans name is not in every household in the U.S. Incredibly talented.

Masterpiece. After all these years. Tears in my eyes.

20 years old, deeply in love and this piece as our secret anthem. Why do memories hurt so much... hope you are happy in your marriage

I have been looking for this song for over 10 years now. It was everything. Still is. I'm glad I've finally found you.

what falling in love looks like, fall included

Think this is the best song I ever heard. Those strings get to my heart

On est en 2020 et c'est toujours aussi enivrant. Quelle beauté, quelle finesse, quel génie !

This song is a life, with love in the middle. Love its construction.

i

Favorite song of all time...

I love this. I want this played at my funeral

One of those very few songs that has the power to put each and every person who listens to it in their own unique state of nostalgia. Incredible.

That song has been haunting me for years. I first heard it in the closing scene in the movie 'One Way'. I have been searching for it for years but had forgot the movie name. Thanks goggle and my handy search work. This song is amazing, beautiful, spiritual and takes me to another place!

the most romantic song ever

I will never grow tired of this song.

Je ne pourrais même pas décrire à quel point j'aime ce morceau. Je l'ai découvert il y a au moins 5 ans. Ça reste un des morceaux que j'ai écouté le plus. Ce genre de morceau qui vous marque à vie, qu'on a envie de faire écouter à tout le monde mais qu'on a l'impression d'être seul a vraiment aimé. Les commentaires ici me rassure. Je ne suis pas si seul finalement.

It makes me sort of sad to know I will never be as effortlessly cool as Sebastien Tellier.

one of the most important tracks of last 15 years.

...7 minutes 40... De pure intensité. 💚

Cette chanson... J'ai pas de mots exprimer ce que je ressens quand je l'écoute, car à la fois elle me fait penser à quelqu'un, ainsi que tous les souvenirs qui vont avec cette personne... Parfois c'est un peu difficile de l'écouter, mais à la fois ça fait un bien fou, voilà pourquoi aussi je ne trouve pas les bons mots...❤

big up to Tony Allen the genious drummer wich is the groove, the heart, of this song !!!!

this song is a masterpiece

This song is my anthem. In the best and the worst moments. Merci Seb

This tune is simply a fabulous layer cake with the cherry on top. Layer after layer of delicious sentimentality and musicianship. Truly the art of adding to a simple riff and the courage to add voice at the 4th minute. As a musician you got to love this musical vision. Merci Sébastien .

Si y a bien un morceau qui illustre parfaitement le pouvoir émotionnel de la musique c est bien celui-ci...

And then out of nowhere he starts singing!!!! yes.

Awakens my Senses and Emotions

Un bout de ma vie. Du froid, du bois, pas de gens. Un rocky 4. Et sûrement un des meilleurs son

je pleure à chaque audition, je sais pas si ca me fait plus de bien qu'autre chose, merci Sébastien, tu as réellement la lumière au bout des doigts.

la ritournelle - helped me through so many emotional situations. Thank you and merci Sebastian Tellier!

respect à l'artiste .Les notes remplacent les mots!!! un dessert.

This is just such a good tune. It’s sad, it’s uplifting, it’s chilled, it fills me with every kind of emotion. There are lots of brilliant records out their but this has to be in my all time top 10.

July 2008 the first time I heard this as the sun set on cafe del mar with the catamaran at anchor and a paraglider floating through the sky. Nice bifter, bottle of beer and me best mate of 30 years next to me. Please invent a time machine. I need to go back

This song is perfection.

I FOUND THIS SONG. I can't believe I've found this song at long, long last :( Oh, my, wow, the background sounds in this have been in a forgotten background region of my memory for more than 10 years. I am so extremely happy to have found this song after all of this time

Every once in a while I find my way back to this song, and it’s as beautiful every single damn time.

When a tune has a vibe that just puts you in a special place and you find you explore all of your emotions, your heart , mind and Soul and feel happiness and sadness in equal measure, this is one of them that takes you that place. Beautiful!!

c’était ton morceau préféré tu as dit ! tu aimais ce que tu faisais et nous tu nous as fait rêver..je te promets que nous te chanterons .. te danserons .. pour toujours toujours toujours

ça va tellement je ne sais où qui me transperce, que je ne trouve pas les mots ..; overwhelming comme disent les british ! et oui pour lover kitch au bord des larmes...

Quand le pouvoir de la musique commence là où s'arrête le pouvoir des mots. Une phrase qui résume parfaitement cette chanson.

This song makes me feel so different emotions but nostalgic is definitely a big one

About eight years ago this song played on a Nikon ad, and now, just yesterday, I heard it on the radio and finally discovered what song it was! 💪🏼🤣

Introspective, uplifting, melancholy, joyous, reflection, expression, all things in one epic .
