BEIRUT "Nantes" By Lou, a blind child

[dan2511]

He needs to come over to the UK! Would love to listen to him live

[lucboland]

@dan2511

Perhaps, in the futur ! ;-)

[dan2511]

Amazing - Music is for everyone - Spread the love

[lucboland]

@dan2511

and he can play thousand songs... ;-)

[vitalamanda]

This is beautiful!

[professorJacqui]

was it necessary to mention he was blind?

[lucboland]

@professorJacqui Yes, just to savour Lou's pleasure, when he imitate the break in the song. ;-)

[AyresAlice]

This is beautiful. And when he shouts of that film excerpt...

Non laisse moi!

That's actually my favourite part of the song.

It made me happy when he included that.

[lucboland]

;-)

Lou's daddy.

("Non laisse moi" is the favourite part of Lou too)

[luxlitio]

@lucboland Hi where in France are you living? Would it be possible to make an interview?

[lucboland]

@luxlitio

We are living in Belgium, in Brussel.

An interview for... ?

;-)

You can contact me by mail or phone (contact on website fondation lou)

[we17children]

this is adorable. does he have down syndrome too?

he's far better than me at the piano <:

[lucboland]

No, he have Morsier Syndrome (or ONH syndrome - optic nerves hypoplasia) : blindness, hormonal desease and mental light desease too.

[Brixtones]

was having a lousy day, came across this video while looking at versions of this song... my day is now better than a good day thanks to it. good job.

[lucboland]

Really happy to read your words ! Lou is a little sunshine and it's a pleasure to share it !

regards.

Lou's daddy

[mouthbleed]

that was wonderful

you and your son are beautiful

[lucboland]

(joke) euh... you have never seen my face ! ;-)

Thanks.

Lou's daddy

[zoeflood]

I love it when he says the french lines. ahhh godard... anyways. I liked his take on it, I mean he is much better than me on piano and I can see just fine. that is something to brag about. and all that matters is that he is happy. you are a good father.

[lucboland]

I just try my best ! ;-)

Lou's daddy

[natethegreat5000]

Bien fait Lou!

[lucboland]

;-)

[cpandrs]

Is he french? I like the piano, too, you can see on my videos, but I am not THAT good! Tell him he is wonderful at music! (: :)

[lucboland]

Yes, he is (french). I'll tell him and look to your videos.

Regards.

Lou's daddy

[astrozombiemetal]

pretty good yet emotive

[lucboland]

Lou and the music makes one, even if its not technically perfect. ;-)

[astrozombiemetal]

that makes perfect sence, cheers!

[DuFFOwNz]

great song and video

[lyricalesque]

Lou seems to be very talented. I have a feeling he'll go far. :)

[urmominacan]

This is sweet.

[lucboland]

;-)

Lou's daddy

[DarknessHowls]

I'm glad you're encouraging him to explore the fun of music. It's really a wonderful thing to get into. Great song. :-D

[lucboland]

Thanks a lot ! ;-)

Lou is so happy when he's playing music.

[peskasker]

This was great, good thing he has support. I loved how he sang the french lines and even played a solo.

[lucboland]

...quite normal because Lou speak french. One of reasons why he paid attention for this song. ;-)

[screamuss]

Terrible !

Fantastique, il ressent grave la chanson.

Tu dois être fier de ton fils.

[lucboland]

..."fier" est un grand mot ! Je suis simplement heureux qu'il s'épanouisse ainsi dans la musique (car pour ce qui est de l'apprentissage scolaire, c'est une autre paire de manche !), qu'au delà de son handicap mental, il nous démontre tout ce qu'une personne différente peu apporter.

[BackForCrack]

You sound like a good dad, man. Reading your other comments, it's good that you're encouraging him to do something great - despite his problem. Who knows, the kid could be the next Stevie Wonder! Best of luck to you and your son!

[lucboland]

Thanks for me ! ;-)

There is only one important think, so I said : be happy.

About Lou : the next Stevie Wonder ? Musician, sure for pleasure of as professionnal, that's not the most important think.

Regards.

Lou' daddy

[DannyDSHomebrew]

Poor autistic kid.

[lucboland]

Don't say "poor". lou is happy in his life... Do we have to be poor and sad when we are different than the others ?

;-)

regards

Lou's daddy

[DannyDSHomebrew]

I'm sorry about that, but i'm happy to hear that he is happy.

[Hepzibuh]

Cute. I like it, especially because he repeats what is said in the middle of the song. Think he realizes what he is saying? =3

[lucboland]

Shure that Lou understand what is said in the middle, because it's in French, and Lou is talking french ! ;-)

Lou's Daddy

[Lilichette]

Génial ! Il est trop fort ! Et il a très bon gouuut !

[lucboland]

...hé oui, mais c'est aussi grâce au bons goûts goûts très éthéroclites de ses parents ! Rires. ;-)

[MrReggaeAmbassador42]

not bad!

[lucboland]

It's an easy song to play... look to others songs that's Lou's playing. ;-)

Rgards.Lou' daddy

[lillybby]

this was excellent. i loved the "non, laissez-moi!" tres chouette!

[Lindyhops17]

wow, that's great

thanks for posting, it's good to see he's not restricted by his disability, and can still express himself through music, regardless

[lucboland]

Thanks ! Yes, music is really his way to express himselff.

[martyjdionne]

i laughed but i love beirut and the nimble minded so maybe i won't go to hell

[lucboland]

Why do you think that you will go to hell ? ;-)

[baberaham]

my favorite is when he says the part in the middle of the song :)

[lucboland]

yes, it's cute !

Lou's daddy

Lou's dadddy

[ndtitanlady]

your a fantastic father, ive seen fathers with children with disabilities but they handle it as an setback. im glad you embrace it really, be proud

you should post it as a discussion in a forum on their site, im guessing just google:

"beirut band"

[lucboland]

I have no other choice to try to give him a place in this world unadapted for him... and my only way is to share who he is, his woirld and sensibility.

Thanks for the link, I posted a message.

[muffy0306]

what language is lou speaking

[lucboland]

Lou is speaking french... but he always singing the same words : "Méga" (the name of ou dog) ;-)

[boulole]

tro mimi, le commentaire d'en haut il pue la merde pour celui ki la écrit

[pianoman1996]

he's crazy..stupid kid

[lucboland]

You must be very unhappy to write thinks like this. Shurly do you need to be loved (and you felle that you're not loved), but it's not like this that people will be interest for you. It's sad... for you.

[gulguzeli58]

Qu'il est Chou Ce Petit Lou ^^
