Top Comments of this video!! :3
In each verse, he sings with a different personality, each personality eulogizing/talking about a woman(who was a sex worker) from their perspective, which makes this song a masterpiece...
In verse 1: He sings like a man who has been a client of a sex worker for years. That's why he says "Everything in life can be bargained if you have money, and after all, I'm probably her best customer"
In verse 2: He sings like the pimp trying to justify his trade, that's why he says, " I am the one feeding them, their lives would be mediocre without me, I give them a place to sleep ....for 50 40 30 or 20% etc.'
In verse 3: He sings like a super judgemental policeman addressing the sex worker, that is why he says, "Move along now woman, take back your ID and what's left of your dignity"
However, in Chorus/Bridge: He sings like a son unconditionally defending a dead mother, that is why he says, "Leave my mom alone, yes I know she's not perfect, she's a hero, and I will speak of her with pride"
The genius in this is otherwordly!

I love the fact that he puts light on marginalized populations. The dissonance between the words, that are so deeply hard and tragic with the music that is with rhythm, it is outstanding. Truly. This is true art. Everything about it, it has been thought of until the last detail. The costume, the performance. Outstanding! Magnifique, merci stromae!
