1st verse (Maître Gims) :
My friends were hearing about the life that I had
Where people were waiting for me, I never came
If I confuse them, if I derange them
It’s because I’m a blend, a mix
I’m too complicated, I’ll never choose
Just the two sides, don’t ask me
Where I wanna go, even the monkeys imitate the wise
And all those wise people created cages to put us all in
Chorus (Maître Gims & Vianney) :
Eh, eh, aye, aye
Aye, aye, aye
If I bother you guys, well the feelings mutual
If I bother you guys, well the feeling’s mutual
Eh, eh, aye, aye
Aye, aye, aye
If I bother you guys, well the feeling’s mutual
If I bother you guys, well the feeling’s mutual
2nd verse (Vianney & Maître Gims) :
We take boxes, we place the people that we’ll never, never understand deep down inside of them
Being that mankind is made of a thousand boxes, those boxes that we take are never big enough
I’ve followed a thousand paths and shook a thousand hands
It’s possible to like both Jacques Brel and Meugi, even like our enemies
I’m too complicated, I’ll never fit it
In your little squares, I live my life from day to day
And so I always zigzag with those black shades
I hear people wonder : “When will the mask fall off”
Chorus (Maître Gims & Vianney) :
Eh, eh, aye, aye
Aye, aye, aye
If I bother you guys, well the feelings mutual
If I bother you guys, well the feeling’s mutual
Eh, eh, aye, aye
Aye, aye, aye
If I bother you guys, well the feeling’s mutual
If I bother you guys, well the feeling’s mutual
Bridge (Vianney & Maître Gims) :
You entered my life, Oh my beloved freedom
Life, is about having needs, needs before opinions
You entered my life, Oh my beloved freedom
Life, is about having needs, needs before opinions
Eh, eh, aye, aye
Aye, aye, aye
If I bother you guys, well the feelings mutual
If I bother you guys, well the feeling’s mutual
Chorus (Maître Gims & Vianney) :
Eh, eh, aye, aye
Aye, aye, aye
If I bother you guys, well the feelings mutual
If I bother you guys, well the feeling’s mutual
Eh, eh, aye, aye
Aye, aye, aye
If I bother you guys, well the feeling’s mutual
If I bother you guys, well the feeling’s mutual
The artifact that I have chosen for my Narrative Perspective Analysis using the three dimensions of description, interpretation, and evaluation is the music video to La Même by Maître Gims ft Vianney.
For description of a Narrative Perspective artifact you describe the; setting, characters, narrator, casual relations, temporal relations, and intended audience. The setting is a large studio which has a large well lit box in the middle of the studio. All of the characters in this music video are round characters in that they are the opposite of the stereotype that I initially placed on them at the beginning. The “proper” lady has tattoos all over her body, the body builder has leg prosthetics, the nurse is a break dancer, the exotic dancer is a caring single mother, and the six business people are gymnasts. There are two narrators; Maître Gims & Vianney. They both tell the story of society placing stereotypes and labels on people and how they’ve stopped caring about them. The main events are how all the characters are shown in the box, their stereotype, and exiting the box to show how they actually are. The main cause of this event is the human action of exiting the stereotype to show how they actually are and that they are not the stereotype that has been applied to them by others. The temporal relation between the events syntagmatic with the characters being shown in the box leading to them exiting it. The intended audience, to me, is society at large. Since many people subconsciously apply stereotypes to others, placing them in a “box”.
For interpretation of a Narrative Perspective artifact you interpret the moral conveyed. The moray that is being conveyed in is to not place stereotypes on other people, no matter how different they are from you. You would never expect a “proper” lady to have tattoos, a body builder to have leg prosthetics, a nurse to break dance, an exotic dancer to be a caring single mother, and six business people to be gymnasts. To me the genius of this music video is initially showing you these people in a way that you subconsciously place a stereotype on them while they’re in the box and shattering that stereotype once they’ve exited the box. Also for the majority of the video both Maître Gims and Vianney are standing on top of the box, showing that they’re risen above the stereotypes placed on them.
For evaluation of a Narrative Perspective artifact you evaluate the potential implications of the artifact. To me the potential implication is that people place stereotypes onto others subconsciously.
