Air - La femme d'argent

[EnigmaticTbay]

This song just put me in a state of bliss.

[slenderXandXamazing]

Air a wonderfull blend of spacey ambient floating conpositions of interwined melodies mix into soundscapes.. You can almost feel like yer flying :)

peace

Life is simple, its just not easy.

[playaeyez17]

I miss the 90's innovation, everyone progressing diff genres, any decade was better than what we have now in retrospect.. 2000-2010 was barely even noteworthy for any groundbreaking music. look at the HOLE music is today compared to here from 1998. The world has to be ending soon cause WE DON'T GET THIS ANYMORE IN THIS WORLD. IT'S OVER, CORPORATE MACHINE & THE LOWEST COMMON MAINSTREAM SHEEP ARE DOWN TO A PALE LADY GAGA FOR SOULESS FACEBOOK GENERATION'S ADHD... tweeting away & loving It :-/

[weeeeoooow]

This is my No 1 chill out song. : )

Many a party, sat or slumped in the early hours , hoarse from talking and laughing, quietning down to this.....tune!

And listening to it in the car with my dad and bro.

Great vid and upload . ; )

.....4: 03 onwards....a space ship! ; D

[nopivass]

I LOVE Delon's smile in 6.48

[webby920]

beautiful indeed love the pure flow

[PhysicsMathMan]

Such a beautiful combination

[goranjagodnik]

tubinho..you've managed to mix two masterpieces. thank you

[trichromez]

heard the very end of this track on world cafe and recorded just the last 10 seconds of it with my phone, the host kinda said the artist and track name fast so i didn't catch it. spent about a hour or so looking for the track with my g/f...just when i had given up hope my g/f plays the last 20 seconds and I get over taking with a feeling like i just got the best present ever haha its crazy how truly amazing music makes you feel and act...

[galactyk]

Hmmm... Ouais, c'est quand même une manière assez grandiose d'introduire un album. En guise de première piste pour le non moins excellent "Moon Safari", ce grand plane de 7 minutes s'avère majestueux à souhait, classieux en plus. Les types ont trouvé des accords qui fondent dans l'oreille et se sont éclatés à les garnir ça et là de somptueux ornements qui semblent improvisés dans un instant d'inspiration totalement jouissif.

[mamaruti]

sublime

[TheRickynow]

Stunning!

[MrMLD72MLD]

[gottagota]

[annascorpio64]

Wow!!! Air e Alain Delon da giovane...che bella combinazione! Grande Antonioni!

[Iskander67]

Fender Rhodes and a good bassline : Unfortunately this is too rare nowadays. Fortunately, there is Air (Jamiroquai also is good for this).

[laefalita]

Bellisimo video , excelente , muchas gracias por compartirlo , todas mis estrellas , lindos y felices dias

[fusioneer84]

Italian charm

[TheBMW320cabrio]

@TheBMW320cabrio I correct myself is : Certo...not Si ma...

[blica1]

remember is even more psychedelic..their best tune in my opinion and this is their best work..premier symptoms is a compilation of tunes that never made it on the albums they previously released..good choice to make an album!

[chombica]

Sorry mayby I m stupid but how it is here talk about skunk? I m serious asking I just dont get

[Ayato3]

HAHA talking about smoking in it, once i had had a smoke with a good friend, we lied on the bed and then I put that song, I was actually feeling like levitating XD my friend was talking to me about seeing the melodies as highways with crazy bumps and turns... THE AIR SYNDROME ! ^^

[buffenbison]

that bass line works flawlessly

[pabloooo20]

good

[skyandfly]

the best .... ever....

[GoodTimeGeorge3]

This track is GREAT when shown with an old movie....Check out also the old footage taken from a camera mounted on a street car in San Francisco in 1905 - utterly magical!!

[zennygreen]

TRES BIEN!

[therock980]

open to anything ..

[UrbanAssault5150]

yeah try there track Talismen

[craftyweasel265]

In my opinion, the greatest Air ever produced.

[tubjiji]

this song is sexy, classy, cool and laid back,cosmopolitan, fancy, sly, very French. I'm obviously not French, but this embodies the best qualities of these people

[Seedorf1905]

best utube comment ive ever read

[ManoloDelRuiz]

just awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TheBMW320cabrio]

ps..mm? Un minuto come per i giocatori di calcio .. lo conoscevi ? Certo ma ... un minuto qui costa miliardi ...

[magdagy]

[magdagy]

simply amazing.

[noble1981]

I agree with Snowmanwith problems.. I was about to comment on that wicked Bassriff thatt pens this beauty..

If u r living in Germany- snowman write to me to groove for a jam session :-D

[SnowmanWithProblems]

hmm.. that bass is just sick :D.. i enjoy playing bass, so now i just got to learn this track !!! :)

[playaeyez17]

I've been listening to this song soooo many timesfor the last 10 or 11years since I first heard It in 1998.

It's not just a song It's catharic influx of beautiful trancendent emotional rollercoasters, everything that evr went wrong or right or any memory can be instantly put back on display listening to this song. Deaths, Love, Youth,Pain, All of a past sad or happy. Lovers and lives that got away from us.

Polaroids of what is and what will never be. As I grow older this song grows with me!!

[KilianDiedenRichter]

word man..... you are so damn right...... greetis from stockholm, this is brilliant

[anowco]

Gr8 post playaeyez17 couldn`t of put it better myself in a million years.This track as like all their stuff is neo-classical.

[thampex]

blue states thats what ya want to listen to, air are ok, but too electro poppy now for my tastes

[TheBMW320cabrio]

i'm italian but i can't understand looking the statics this video has been looked at best by germany ... ?! and italy only a medium share ?!

[makkister]

grrrrrrrreat mashup

[lucas79black]

very Zero 7

[thesickohs]

if you mean that, like I think you do:

zero7 - first ep 1999, first album 2001

air - first single 1995, first album 1997

I would say Zero7 is in many ways influenced by Air, and is making that sound in a more simple way, using vocals and "poppy" constructions, which I also like sometimes.

My point of view, greets.

[despair2ko]

The Rhodes.

Best sounding instrument there is.

[FuckiNBlacK666]

Wow chill!

[goranjagodnik]

masterpiece

[inflamesolt]

bazmeg ez kurvajó

[nicko8989]

great for drivin at night

[TheBMW320cabrio]

true .. want to try it !

the maker of this video is a true and talented artist ... I hope he does other videos like this ...

greetings from italy , and thank you for posting it

[plopplop1983]

its called "la femme d'argent" !!!!

[iViolateSmurfs]

I wanna watch that movie.

[KilianDiedenRichter]

which movie is it?

[iViolateSmurfs]

I have no clue, but it looks cool.

[tubinho79]

It's a film made by the Italian director Michelangelo Antonioni, it's called L'Eclisse or The Eclipse (in english)

[talbots1243]

@tubinho79 one of my favorite movies and one of my favorite music groups! good mix chief.

[Shahar102]

Best for long drives in a cold winter..

[stick5vw]

6:04 onwards is really amazingly well done

[Saabrules]

reminds me of writing two papers one night and starting to feel really good because I was almost done when it was just starting to get light outside. mmmmm

miles davis "on the corner" is also great.

[MastaEss]

I know the feeling! nothing better than a great tune to lift ur spirits when the hard work is over!

[tompaaz]

what movie is this btw?

[Chronomorte]

One of those songs that as soon as it's finished I find I just hit play again...

[figifigo]

god i don't know how many years its been since i first heard this song(about 9?). but i heard i hundreds of times since...

i love it on rainy sundays on sunny saturdays, in the winter on the balcony/forest when its snowing...

more or less always hehe

[tompaaz]

can someone recommend more artist like this? its da bomb!

[531519george]

Yeah, Moby are a bit like air, might wanna look into them :)

[DenVoetstuk]

The band Zero 7 can be seen as the English version of AIR

[allanzaya]

portishead, enigma, massive attack..just a few similar to the genre.

[pannekoeken2]

this is the genre called: "Air" and it rocks

[tompaaz]

man, what genre is this? really chill

[RICECAKEGOESWHEE]

downtempo, idm, trip-hop

[ing123456]

air, zero 7, the orb, buhloon mind state, justin warfield all in one night. Awesome!!!!!!!!

[TheSurfis]

god i love moon safari

[masise]

I really don't get bored of watching this video...

[racaracatiapaca]

I love it!!! This tune is my soul...

[TheSurfis]

Hey if you like chill electronica like Air, Ratatat, Crystal Castles, please give my music a check out - click my name :)

[BillRosewood]

Everytime I hear this song I think at a wonderful time in Bordeaux. It changed my view of France.

I could imagine living there one day...

[despair2ko]

I'd love to go to France, whats it like there?

i can't quite explain it, I don't know much about the French culture or their history, but I still love the people and it just seems like a nice place.

I'm taking a French class next year. If I pass maybe I can somehow get a trip to France =)

[MerlynMusicman]

France is lovely but stay out of the very rural areas (kinda hick-ie) and the big big cities (Paris especially) because they treat you like dirt despite the fact your supporting their economy. All the rest of France is lovely :)

[crisp99]

and the best electro album of all time goes to AIR

[liam23taker]

Awesome song.

Awesome video.

[jovosmrad]

svaka chast !!!!

[reydecopas1]

masterpiece :)

[nickchrist]

i just creamed my pants

[pinonoir302]

J'adore!!!

[BaerlinTheBear]

every song is something special.

you don't know music.

[rudiruecksitz]

thats awesome

[kitsch2spacea]

This is quite wonderful

[inflamesolt]

excellent.........from hungary

[09669390]

This is a nice song.

[pla190]

他們的音樂很棒！！

[honolulu100]

=oRE1nuyY7v8

[LucySkyDiamondd]

omg this song is unique.

it is really awesome. i love it!

and the video ...NICE :)

[Threeload]

The doomed isolationist feel of La femme d'argent by AIR complements this work by Antonioni beautifully. Alain Delon and Monica Vitti ooze an endangered sexual chemistry in this classic film... Magic!

[masise]

The music is simply awesome! But I've never seen the movie, I don't even where to find it... Would watching the movie worth the time?

[haylz1688]

definitely one of my favorite songs ever.

[guinaboy]

The best stuff i've ever seen in art direction

[MaranoComanda]

I DONT HAVE WORDS!EXCELLENT WORK!!

mm do u study art or something like this??

congratulations!

hope u make others like this too!

[tubinho79]

Thank you for your kind comment, well i actually studied for some time...but all the props here go to Mr. MICHELANGELO ANTONIONI (pure Genius) and AIR, of course.

[masise]

Nice work!!! Very nice work!!!! however, I've never seen the movie... Is it good?

[Trazom89]

And I know how is Antonioni...I'm Italian =)

[epoxi]

Congratz. Nice Combination!!

[AnisiniZanahoria]

GENIAL

[biacruz07]

SEX

[jlinpalms]

very cool stuff here!!!!!!!!.....m.v. and a.d.....were hot!....great mariage of music and cinema...j.l. in palm springs ca

[clerlic]

I'm like totally straight, but man that guy's handsome!

[Moon1p]

I love Monica Vitti ^^

[dirwir]

why are they talking a lot of shit in the vid? otherwise the song is very good.

[passjay]

this is style..nice backdrop by air..awesome!!! thanks soo much for the..yep..this one did it for me...im almost done for the night...lmao!!

[ZombieTigress]

Michelangelo Antonioni...

[StatisticalCookie]

great chillout song

[bluethndr]

I love this song!!!  Awesome.

[Meik74]

Geniales Lied zum chillen!

[miaow777]

Merci!

[pretorian1981]

exelente

[greenfish88]

it's Alain Delon, fyi...

[BenitoRose]

oh my god, what a beautiful, beautiful man..

[SunRey69]

This beautiful man is Alain Delon. He is old now, but still nice. My girl friend use to say his son is better that the father :)

Alain Delon is considered as one of the most beautiful men from France off all time.

[weewizard200]

what genre of music does this fall into?

[08coopel]

awesome.

[Joaozinho295]

trip hop

[Joaozinho295]

Or maybe I should have said "electronic, jazzy trip hop"...does that make sense? ;-)

[weewizard200]

yeah thanx

[insomniatheband]

Lounge maybe?

[troye2407]

electro pop

[bassguitarist001]

when you call microsoft xbox support in the netherlands you'll get this song when you have to wait XD, nice and relax though

[CWUK22]

This song captured my mind and took it to a complete state of ecstacy and bliss. Or perhaps the drugs just catalyzed the process?

[bitch7719]

j'ai eu un poster d' Alain Delon dans ma chambre...

[wallaceelf]

Does anyone know the Air song: "Par Cobhan Ride" from the album: City Reading

That song is sooo sweet!!! Makes me think of relaxing on vacation.. check it out!!!

Ah oui, et qui n'aime pas La Femme d'Argent?!?!... trop trop trop bien!!! C'est comme la musique de ce qu'on appelle aux Etats: a city slicker.. a moins aux annees vingt peut-etre...

[Chegalhekavara]

simply amazing:D

[melonyhey]

wonderful

[dfowler1976]

this is my favorite Air song simply lovely!

[hugo26a]

J vous adore Air, un etat d esprit...

[Felisette]

love this music

[KguitarF]

okay loosers...

Woman of Silver

or...

Woman of money.

[thecajuncutthroat]

it's WOMAN OF SILVER !!!!!

(Woman of money doesn't mean anything in french !!!)

From France, looser...

[inmihiveritas]

Woman of money doesn't mean anything in french !? Are you sure it doesnt referre to a prostitue or something, golddigger?

[thecajuncutthroat]

I'm sure, I'm french.

La femme d'argent means "SILVER WOMAN" like "Silver Surfer" is le surfeur d'argent in french.

OK ?

[jvillard]

Well, actually, there are two potential meanings:

1. Silver woman - as in a woman made of silver, or precious like silver;

2. Money woman, as in a woman who deals with a lot of money, or a business woman of some sort. The typical expression is "un homme d'argent," used for a businessman such as a banker.

Without context, it is hard to pick.

[MowgliX]

The clip is from Michelaonebo Antonioni's film "L'eclisse" (1962) with Monica Vitti and Alain Delon. Look it up!!!!

[Discfiend69]

We come in peace...3...6...9...3...6...9.­..3

[johnwright76]

i bet no-one noticed AIR pinched the bass line from STONE ROSES "FOOLS GOLD"?!

[Gablato]

no one noticed because it sounds complete different, its in the same key but thats it

[psychoflee]

this music was in a commercial i think it was a jewelry commercial dont remember

[JBKnutsen]

But what's the video..?

[thecajuncutthroat]

it means The "SILVER WOMAN"

[Argemex]

no, it means "la mujer de plata", woman with money, that's what it means

[italianoettore]

Ottimo film e bel video.

[masise]

The music fits perfectly...

[JCDenton648]

i love the last minute the most :)

[masise]

Where can I get the movie? Can I download it?

[Lightmazerland]

About translation, I guess it would be more correct "mercenary-minded" woman, and it can be connected not only with money and some material... she has the air of insincere woman...

[TRANSAM19777]

best song for when the mood takes wit a girl

[MaranoComanda]

u are totally right;)
