Chords for 10 Things Stromae Can't Live Without | GQ

_ [C] I love this sound.
_ Hello [A] GQ, this is Tromé and this [C#m] is my 10 essentials.
[E] _ _ _ _ [E] _
[G#m] So one of my essentials is one ring.
It's called Le Clou from Cartier.
Some years ago I just wanted to have a little bit
of jewelry on my hand.
Coralie, my wife, decided to offer me this beautiful ring
for my 35th birthday.
Yeah, I love it.
It's in pink gold and I wear it on this finger
and it's beautiful. _
Also Cartier invited me for the next Met Gala in New York.
So it's something for me,
especially for my wife to be honest
because every year my wife is watching the Met Gala.
I watch it too, but not as involved as my wife
and I'm really proud to be there.
I hope it's gonna be fun, but [D#] I'm sure it's gonna be fun.
_ So my next [Cm] essential is a gift from Jaeger Lecoultre, watches company.
Yeah, I received it, I don't remember,
I think it was in 2015 or something.
It's the [D] Reverso.
It was made for the polo [Cm] players.
You can reverse it, [Dm] so that's [D#] the reason
why it's called the Reverso
and it protect the watch actually
while you are playing polo.
It's an expensive watch and I really wanted
to keep that my entire life and give that to my son one day
and say, okay, you know, [G] I wore this watch
[A] and I'm so proud to give that to you.
You have to wind it [G#] manually
and there is a beautiful sound,
which is, [E] I love [D] this sound.
_ _ [F#m] _ _ [A]
My corde a sauter, in French [E] we say a corde a sauter,
it's a [F#] jump rope.
I just learned the word.
Thank you for the English [B] courses.
Yeah, that's my new routine before going on stage,
10 minutes [E] or 15 minutes of jump rope
to be just fresh, hot and do my best.
I feel fresh, I don't [F#m] know,
to have a second breath,
that's really good to warm [A] my muscles a little bit
[G#] before going on stage,
because I [F#m] love to dance.
Yeah, I have to be ready to go on stage
and [E] that's the best way to be [A#] ready. _ _ _
[Cm] So another gift from my wife [A#] is my beautiful backpack.
Every time I go on a trip,
yeah, I take [D#] this bag to have all my items,
my 10 essentials.
Yeah, I think [E] it's beautiful.
We bought it, she bought it, sorry, [D#] in Bruges.
Bruges, it's a [G] city from Belgium.
It's called the small Venice.
It's not like Venice in Italy,
but yeah, there is a lot of water in the city
and we went there as a romantic trip
and she bought me this beautiful bag.
It's funny, cause she checked that [G#] out on internet.
She wanted to buy it
and then we [E] just passed by the shop
and I said, wow, I love this bag.
And she [G] said, you know what?
I just wanted to give you,
to [E] offer that bag for your [A] birthday.
I was so happy.
I don't know if it was for my birthday.
I think it was [A#] for Christmas.
It was for [C#] Christmas. _
[F] _ _ [D#m] You know when you don't have lotion on your skin,
you gray, [A#] oh, you say?
Ashy.
Thank you very much for the_
So yeah, lotion is really important for me.
My wife made me discover this brand.
It's a French brand, really natural, natural ingredient.
Really good for your skin.
[D#m] That's really good.
It's [G] really important for me to start the day
to have a good lotion.
[A#m] That's really important to be in a [G] good mood.
That's, I'm not joking.
That's really important for me.
_ [Am] _ _
[B] I bump into this sneaker
when I was looking for [D] sustainable brands on the internet
and I discover a sustainable version of the sneaker.
So I bought it and it was really comfortable.
So I bought a new one and I love the color of this one,
like pastel colors.
And they are so comfortable.
And I love, yeah, I love wearing this.
I was a little bit extremist back in the days
because I was trying to have an entire life
like completely sustainable,
but I realized that it's not possible.
You can't be perfect.
So I'm just trying to do my best
and that's something that we do with our brand.
Sustainability, ethic, recycled materials.
As a consumer, I try to be a good consumer too.
[G] So I try to do my best, but [F#] I can't be perfect.
So _ _ _ _ _ [C#] the next essential is my Mini keys.
[E] That's something else that [G#] we do is collaborations.
[G] And one of the collaboration was a car
that we designed with Mini,
an electric car that we released one year ago.
Coralie, Luc and myself were working with the graphist.
We have a beautiful [C#m] pattern on the roof
and the logo somewhere on the [C#] car.
And we decided everything,
like the color of the car [Em] and everything.
I couldn't even imagine to [B] design a car one day in my life.
They proposed us to work with them.
So that [B] was pretty obvious for us
to just try something new, [G] a new experience, [D] Mini.
_ [F#m] So one of my [G] essential is at least one piece
of the Mossart collection.
[F#] So Mossart is the brand that we launched
with my wife and my brother in [F#m] 2014.
And so that's one of the piece.
This is [F#] simply the logo,
one beautiful cloud with blue, green and pink.
I wear always at least [E] one piece of the Mossart collection.
[D] To be honest, I'm not the designer.
It's my wife, Coralie Barpier.
[Em] I think that's a way of expression
and that's something I [F#] love to do.
This is another design from my wife also.
And it's funny because we were just discussing
[F#m] about that yesterday
because we don't follow the seasons and everything.
You know, we don't wanna do [F#] like just for doing stuff.
We have to be convinced it has to make sense.
And we were just thinking about it.
[F#m] That's some stuff that I love to do.
Discuss about [D] clothes, clothing lines,
sustainability, a lot [Am] of things.
_ _ It's a hair ties.
You don't call that elastic?
Elastic too?
Okay.
_ So that's really [G#] important for me now
because I have [F] long hair.
I let them grow since [F#] 2015.
If you meet me in the street,
like you see me in the street,
I'm always wearing a bun.
It's a difficult job.
[G] And especially for the long hair.
Every time I have to go on set for here for example,
I have to work with the hairstylist for half an [E] hour.
I'm lucky because I have a hairstylist
but actually when you don't,
you have to do it [Am] yourself and that's difficult.
_ [Cm] _ _ [D] So the next essential is a notebook.
Pretty new.
[Cm] I just bought [A] it in CVS the other day.
[A#] It's not the same putting something on your phone
and writing down [F] on a notebook, in a notebook.
It stays longer in your brain.
When you write it [Cm] manually.
And it's so easy to have a note on your phone
that you have like thousands of it
and you never go back on it.
To be honest, I'm lost in my notes on [F] my phone.
So I decided to buy a new real notebook.
[A] _ _ _
Let's do an ad for Apple.
Yeah, that's the most [Em] important object
of my professional life, I would say.
I made my entire album on this computer.
So I do my beats [G#] on a program called Reason
by Propel Ahead.
Actually, I have two moods.
Like the composition mood is I'm completely focused
like working on my compositions [N] from nine to five
and that's it.
I do no promotion, no concert.
Then the album is done.
And then I start to do promotion interviews and concerts.
And I try to compose, but it's [E] not the same mood.
And I'm not as inspired as [B] in the period of composition.
Because I think to have something interesting,
I need more than six months of trying,
having bad productions.
And thanks to my brother, I know that it's bad
because sometimes you're convinced that it's really good.
But [F#] actually, thanks to your good friends
or your creative director,
you learn that it's not really good.
For example, for Multitude,
I wanted to [G#] have a lot of influence from traditional music
from all around the world.
And at the very beginning,
it was a little bit too calculated, too not natural.
And then after one year, when you get used to it,
when it goes like [F#] completely natural,
it goes more, I don't know, good, just [A] good.
Just spontaneous.
Sorry, yeah, it's more spontaneous.
Because at the very beginning, it's not natural.
And after one year, trying and trying and trying,
it become spontaneous.
Thank you, GQ, and see you next time.
