ABOUT ANNETTE
Annette, the much-anticipated new film from LEOS CARAX, is set to open the 74th Cannes Film Festival on 6 July 2021 and will go on general release in France on the same date. Based on an original story and music by Ron and Russell Mael, the brothers behind the flamboyant band SPARKS, ANNETTE began life as an (unreleased) album but was transformed into a musical film after they met Carax. Having successfully maintained a five-decade-long career as one of the world’s most innovative and creative bands, it comes as no surprise that their collaboration with the visionary French director has resulted in a unique piece of film-making. The original soundtrack to ANNETTE, with lyrics co-written by SPARKS and LEOS CARAX and music composed and performed by SPARKS, features vocals from the stars of the film: Adam Driver (Henry), Marion Cotillard (Ann) and Simon Helberg (The Conductor).
About Annette,SPARKS says: “The characters live and breathe through the sensibility, tone, and lyrics of the music. In Annette, we set out to have virtually all the dialogue sung. It was a huge challenge, but one we are extremely proud of.“

LYRICS:
So may we start? (2x)
It’s time to start
High time to start
They hope that it goes the way -it’s supposed to go
There’s fear in them all but they -can’t let it show
They're underprepared but that -may be enough
The budget is large but still -it’s not enough
So may we start? May we start, may we, may we now start? (2x)
It’s time to start - May we start, may we, may we now start?
High time to start - May we start, may we, may we now start?
We’ve fashioned a world, a world -built just for you
A tale of songs and fury -with no taboo
We'll sing and die for you -yes in minor keys
And if you want us to kill too -we may agree
So may we start?
So close all the doors and let’s -begin the show
The exits are clearly marked -thought you should know
The authors are here so let’s -not show disdain
The authors are here and they’re -a little vain
A little vain
Now…
The music resounds and all -the flames are lit
So Ladies and gents please -shut up and sit
The curtain of our eyelids -lazily rise
But where's the stage you wonder
Is it outside, or is it within?
Outside? Within? (2x)
So may we start?

Should have been nominated for best original song Oscar 2022
My mom just told me that back in the 60s she had a group of friends in Santa Monica who had a band that would set up in her living room and practice , her dad would get pissed and chase them out 😂 I asked what the name of the band was, she said “the sparks, and they made it big everywhere except the US” low and behold I look them up and they are real. Hahaha this is crazy.
Your mom was a witness to one of the most important beginnings in modern music. Lucky her!
It feels so weird whenever I hear these kinds of stories. I know that all celebrities aren't born famous and they probably had a normal life and interacted with normal people, but at the same time it feels like they exist in a different dimension separate from mine.
We've always loved Sparks in the UK to the extent that I always thought they were from here. America's loss, UK'S gain.
I've been lucky enough to see them live twice in Manchester but already next years gig is sold out.
73 and 76. Proof that we only grow old because we allow it.
Not being a hater but fact check
crazy indeed
One of the most insanely catchy songs I have ever heard, and I've heard a lot of catchy Sparks songs the past 47 years...
And you would know too--your channel is ground zero for Sparks content. Love it! High quality entertainment!
@@claytonmack1431 Thank you. :)
What with Drip Drip Drip, Past Tense, and the Edgar Wright doc, that is high praise, and I am fully on board with this. Let the Summer of Sparks party commence!
You don't say.
I hugely second those sentiments 😊
It's great! See SPARKS in Portland next year.🥰
I got chills when Adam's voice kicked in.. It's so nice to see how far he has come in his career during these last years ❤️
This movie is a piece of shit.
@@mohamadmahmoud6926 Oh you've seen it? You sound like the type who would attend Cannes.
@@Deathlygunn yes I attended Cannes. I’m still here actually. I saw all the in competition films but drive my car (not enough time) and only ahed’s knee was great. It was a highly disappointing year.
@@mohamadmahmoud6926 while I usually keep in mind de gustibis or there is no arguing in matters of taste it is still rude and bad etiquette if you have the privilege to attend Cannes and then troll. If you're going to criticize it then say why in your opinion you don't like it. None of us have a frame of reference or reason to listen or care otherwise. Just having been to Cannes doesn't make you a great critic with worthy opinions. Plenty of rich people are ignorant as we can all see as are unfortunately many film makers, so attending Cannes alone is not much of a big deal. Nor is it interesting. It would be interesting to hear why you thought only the one movie was of value.
@@kellymathews6615 I’m going to troll because of all the things Cannes did this year I disagree with. The lineup was incredibly safe, weak and predictable and the palm d’or went to one of the worst films I saw in the competition: titane. Titane is meaningless shock value crap. As for Annette, the pacing is too long, the music is awful (the spark brothers are a terrible band and I knew their music would be dreadful), the dialogue was laughably bad and the film seemed to want to invoke feelings of happiness, regret and sadness but all I felt was contempt and boredom. Adam driver gives his most lifeless performance to date and sings as if he’s getting a root canal. It isn’t pleasant to listen to. It was a pretentious bore overall. Leos carax is a hack
I didn't know about Sparks until Edgar Wright tweeted out Propaganda a couple years back. Suddenly I start seeing them and their influence everywhere. Dozens of bands across the decades have covered their songs. They've been cited as inspirations for many more. Filmmakers, musicians, etc. How does such an incredible group go so overlooked in popular culture? It's baffling. Russ and Ron have become two of my all time favorites.
There's another part to my astonishment. Think of all of your favorite musicians. How many of them were putting out epic NEW music in their 70s? Oh, a lot of them play and sing as well if not better, but most songwriters don't have nearly as much success writing music after their 20s or 30s. This is one of the best songs I've heard.
The most british band from California.
Aye. I didn't know better during more years than I'm comfortable with admitting...
-after hearing my first album of theirs, Indiscreet, when I was a little Norwegian lass who didn't speak English, I just presumed they were from England, even well after I learned the language.
Till this day, tho, they have this British "aura" over them.
At least this side of the Walker Brothers, for sure.
Good grief! Thanks for that deadstar44. I've spent over 40 years 'knowing' they are British!
@@groofay RIP Scott Walker.
@@groofay You know, he Scotty faked his own death.
Randomly chose to see "The Sparks Brothers" a couple weeks ago, purely because it was an Edgar Wright film. Knew nothing about it or about Sparks. I am so thankful for Mr. Wright having introduced me to this amazing and inspiring band. This is an awesome teaser trailer, I can't wait to see the film! Keep making awesome art Ron & Russel, thank you for being such inspirational artists.
Same here! So excited and thankful 🙌
100% agree
so happy to see people getting into Sparks, they were always (and is still are ofc) the real deal. Hope Annette becomes a big success, they deserve it!!!!
The spark brothers have no talent. This movie is evidence of it
@@mohamadmahmoud6926 you're as clever as Cory and Trevor...
This film is Masterpiece!!! I was lucky to see it already en Pologne, Cracovie!
It’s not a masterpiece. It’s awful. I saw it in Cannes and I was embarrassed for everyone involved in the production.
@@mohamadmahmoud6926 Well, opinions exist and you obviously have a different opinion than the other person, so let’s just respect what other people think of the movie
@@mohamadmahmoud6926 i was also at Cannes and âme very one applauded the film with joy.
@@enginebreak2623 annette is bombing terribly right now in america lol so you sure I have bad taste buddy
@@mohamadmahmoud6926 Yeah because it's well known that all good films did very well at the american box office. It won the best director at Cannes and got a standing ovation, you sure you were there ?
They are still one of THE most exciting, surprising, creative, fun, intelligent, cocky, smart, coooool bands ever. And about 75! Yeah!!!
Brothers Mael! How I Love them ❤️
Amazing!!!! I'm madly in love with Adam Driver
So am I😍
Yeah but for his acting, just holding hands with "ann" sexiest scenes ever
i love how recognisable adam’s adorable voice is and he’s so god damn hot wth.
12/21/21 - Shortlisted for an Oscar nomination....good luck, Ron and Russell Mael!
Ron singing too! Yay!!!

@@annabackman3028 🤩 I’ve never heard this before! Thank you! 🥸😎
@@Seeker898 😘👍
@@Seeker898 Sorry, I meant to get back to you, but forgot about it 🥴.
Nevertheless, in November 2019 Sparks released an anniversary edition of Gratuitous Sax and Senseless Violins, where the 3 CD - pack includes the original album PLUS two CDs extra material; demos, other mixes, and five songs sung by Sparks' former drummer Christi Haydon, three by Sparks, two covers (Bee Gees and The Who!).
And of course the two songs Ron sings. They are the recordings he made and handed over to Russell before they started to work together on the songs. The CD also have versions where Russell sings them.
This anniversary edition is something extra for any Sparks super fan, I promise!! It's available on A. M. A. Z. O. N.
God damn I can't wait for this movie
Trust me it’s bad
@@mohamadmahmoud6926 its not, also your taste is not the universal truth
Saw it in Cannes and it’s marvellous in my opinion!
@@mohamadmahmoud6926 Are you just dickheadedly spamming anything to do with this movie just because "Ahed's Knee" didn't win the Palme, even though it still won a major prize?
Ron and Russell do it again, simply superb. They are getting better with age.
Whats it like being you
To paraphrase Leos Carax, the gifts Ron and Russell bring to us all: 1) music 2) the English language 3) imagination.
I can add to that; knowledge about the human mind.
I don't believe anybody has made such profound studies in how we react and act in circumstances we either forgotten we been through or never thought was going to happen. All the, whether we want to admit it or not, silly thoughts that pop up in the least expected situation. The unpredictable things we do, when life pushes us into uncomfortable situations.
Ron must have been living as long as Yoda, which could explain more about him than his ability to write spot on lyrics, but I think Russell, the always young one, has been living that long too. They are a unit. Edgar Wright's words, that he during the years he has known the brothers and made the documentary, met only Russell twice, but never Ron without Russell speaks for that.
Two remarkable men, by birth given a rare combination of mature souls and childish hearts! 😇💖💖💖💖
@@annabackman3028 Definitely, Anna! I was referring to what Carax said at the Annette press conference, at 40:13 min.
czcams.com/video/2DRJAL8Ojv4/video.html
Another Sparks pop masterpiece, just crazy catchy!
It’s a bad song. Every song from this movie is terrible.
@@mohamadmahmoud6926 Are you here just hating on this comment section? 🤣 Go and write something better please
@@mohamadmahmoud6926 If you think this is a bad song and also that the movie is bad, then that tells me that I might like the movie a lot. You realise this right? That people who like this track and hear that you hate this AND the movie will logically conclude that the movie is probably good?
Adam is so hot 🔥🔥🔥
I saw Annette yesterday at the earliest time I could with my Driver-obsessed cousin, knowing nothing about it.
This is such a solid and fun (and foreshadowing) opener, and I've got it stuck in my head far more than anything else from the film.
I'm french, I Saw this movie, It's amazing!!!
Is it a trip like Holy Motors was? Asking for a niche American audience.
@@jbvader721 yes, the first scene looks like holy motors.
But the rest of the film is more dreamlike and poetic. Some shots look like a David Lynch or Michel Gondry movie.
There are a lot of sequence shots that are remarkable.
Marion Cotillard and Adam Driver are very good. As for the synopsis, I won't say anything so as not to spoil you. But it's worth it !!!
Gosh, I adore Adam Driver
Recently discovered Sparks (through their documentary). Is it too late to consider myself a diehard fan? I’ll have to squeeze a lifetime of devotion into whatever time we have left on the planet…
Welcome on board, it is never too late?🙌🏼
Oh. My. GAWD. I'm speechless. This already has my heart so please take my fuckin money already
Exciting, dramatic -- can't wait to hear the whole thing.
I Saw Annette it's a masterpiece
@@samuelblachon95130 I couldn't agree more
The whole song has been out for a while now
@@samuelblachon95130 it’s not. It’s a massive piece of shit. Horrible movie. I laughed at how cringey it was.
@@celestinatv3240 of course you guys are French. Any abstract film by a French director is masterful to you guys. I’m sure you adore holy motor too.
Adam driver's talent really shows in 'Annette'.
You won't be disappointed.
It's another one of those times where you want to get angry at Disney and JJ Abrams all over again for squandering that talent, isn't it?
@@jbvader721 No, because his talent was brought out beautifully and it brought him in a position to have a choice as an actor. And while the disadvantages are real (such as the negative types of attention), overall it's been a good opportunity and he did very very well.
were those line breaks really necessary tho?
Who was in cannes festival to have the oportunity to enjoy this masterpiece in a big cinema ?
A friend of mine was there and walked out of the movie !!! Can't believe it.
I was there! LOVED it.
@@stephanieyr Great! I told her to go see the Sparks documentary
@@stephanieyr i was there too, it was good Indeed
this song was, sadly, the only good part of the movie. the rest of the music was bland, uninspired, and the lyrics and dialogue were absolutely abysmal. huge disappointment.
Sparks, still absolutely killing it nearly 50yrs after their first hit...Take THAT rest of the music industry :)
Actor Adam Driver is an exceptional Actor and man. Charismatic and incredibly striking. I want to see as much of his work as I can find.🤠🤩♥️💥🇺🇸👍🏽
welcome to the club !!!!
I am simply LOVING seeing you two wonders of humanity getting your dues these last few years.
My current favorite band
I have watch this too many times to count.
My favorite line:
"There is fear in them all but they can't let it show".💗
The world needs the brothers Mael!! What a body of work they've amassed.
Greetings & best wishes from Birmingham, England.
I’m from Newcastle and remember seeing them at Newcastle City Hall in 75. Loved them ever since . ❣️
So great to see them having all this success after all these years .
The world indeed does and what a body of work they've amassed indeed!
I'm from Norway and for years I assumed (from the moment I first heard them, the album Indiscreet, as a wee lass) the brothers were from your country, for some weird reason...
@@colinmennie6447 hi colin i am from up here too i saw them at the city hall in 74 and75 still got my tickets support was pilot
Still brilliant and crazy after all these years.
All these….two years?
I love the unexpected change of scene when they get up and walk. Always keeping us surprised😁
Release the songs that weren’t in the album pls 😭 i need to hear Adam’s “I’m a good father” on repeat pls
On november 19th (Driver's birthday), they release the Annette's full soundtrack álbum.
Brilliant
Le plan séquence en ouverture du film est grandiose. Carax est comme toujours, d'une inventivité folle.
There is a part of me that feels, as a major fan of Sparks, that I have been in this little nightclub for almost 15 years that a few people have hung out at, some even longer than me. Then, one day, without knowing it, suddenly more and more people are beginning to show up at this little club. We have not changed, the outside world has.
Mark me down as someone who's ready to start.
Sparks needs to be the rock and roll hall of fame
Magnifique 🌿🌿🌿🌿
It's just one part of the song, the whole thing we have to watch when Annette comes out.
YES YOU MAY NOW START
Ur favorite bands favorite band. Influinced so many bands that fidnt even kno the origin started with them
ADAAAAMMM
What a brilliant opening scene💜
Mais oui!!
I love the clever way they use "may we" which in French would be "mais oui" meaning "but yes". So may we now start becomes but yes now start.
Except they've admitted they did not write it that way or for that reason. They genuinely just meant "may we".
Sparks was so fun to see live back in the 80’s. They would play small venues, Russ interacted with the audience a lot, and the songs were so awesome.
Aww, how wonderful to hear Sparks again. First fell in love with Sparks back in the 70s, TOTP , and they remain an utterly unique and original band!
I want to watch this movie so bad!
Still got it
So Sparks are still kicking ass. Nice to know! Very fine tune!
I first heard Sparks singing Big Boy in the Rollercoaster movie, the years went by and now I'm sure these brothers are just divine. They deserve all the applause. I love you here in São Paulo, Brazil.
Just watched the premiere in Russia. An amazing acting of Adam Driver. And incredibly beautiful songs. Thank you, Sparks!
Хах, я тоже только что вернулась из кинотеатра и даже не знаю, что и думать об этом фильме, как будто все прошло в бреду) жаль, правда, что у нас сделали дубляж, с субтитрами смотрелось бы лучше
@@sonchik6324 я чуть не пошёл на дубляж. Не думал, что на такое осмелятся, вовремя проччитал). В итоге купил билет на оригинальную озвучку с субтитрами. Потом прочитал, что дубляж вышел неплохой, думаю, может во второй раз на него сходить, для интереса.
Фильм в целом кринж. Но концовка его полностью вытянула (для меня). Даже слезу пустил.
@@sonchik6324 "бред" - это типичная атмосфера для фильмов Лео Каракса - мне они нравятся (особенно "Святые Моторы"), так что и этот зашел. Музыка обалденная. Подожду выхода на носителях с оригинальной дорожкой, ну или по старинке качну торрент. У нас тоже, к сожалению, был дубляж.
@@Narkobaronz имхо, но если сравнивать с англоязычными отрывками, наши спели как-то резко, крикливо. Ну и дубляж песен - это все-таки в какой-то мере творчество "по мотивам", там слова меняют, чтобы попасть в ритм и рифму. Я однозначно за мюзиклы с субтитрами.
@@RheoTU я в первый раз смотрела Каракаса, поэтому для меня было дико непривычно, но фильм совершенно удивительный конечно. И музыка понравилась. Но однозначно стоит смотреть оригинал в первую очередь, потому что местами дубляж просто режет слух
Tip of the iceberg to a fantastic film, the music of which, will send shivers down your spine as will the magical imagery. Awesome performance of Adam Driver. Got to the cinema, no less than three times...
Oscar's Best Original Song
P E R F E C T I O N !
Best band ever
Theaters were invented for that kind of opening scene... awesome movie!
Amazing, love the music, the oscar board are deaf, this song is the winner
sparks has had such a good year
About time something new came out from Sparks -- it seems like it's been *hours*!!!
hahahah good one!
I dunno about you but I grew up in a world where literally every great band either burned out or faded away. Getting better and better, every year and every decade…it kind of gives me an unsettling tingle…
They’re documentary is also incredible!
Looking forward to seeing the whole thing! Something bloody awesome!💕👍👍❤️🌹😍
ICONIIIIIIIICCCC 😍😍😍😍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thanks Ronald and Russell!
In Carax & Sparks we trust 🌿
Brilliance
Brilliant 😘
Этот фильм и эти песни.. спасибо вам ребята за это чудо
Love Sparks keep going guys !
We never need to grow old, we will never become irrelevant. Sparks have led the way.
The best song of the OST
So may we start...watching "Annette"
THIS MOVIE IS THE BEST I NEVER SEEN OF MY LIFE!!!!
And this is how the Oscars should open in 2022.
its so fucking dramatic... i love it
Incredible film...& a mostly incredible soundtrack! 'Bravo' to all involved...
My family loves musicals and never heard of it, should have seen me trying to explain it.
CD arrived today. Waiting for the movie first. Am I normal?
Good morning! What a wonderful way to start the day! 😀 Fantastic!
Merci !
It fills me with joy that the genius of Sparks is still growing after 50 years. I can’t wait to see this movie. 🥸😎
It really is remarkable for any career to last this long. I’m finding the project to be exciting and reassuring at the same time.
I've been hyping this song for a month and counting!!
So awesome cause they just explain the whole movie in this opening
Que hermosa es Marion dios mio
Love you Sparks!
Loved sparks since high school. Didn't think they'd ever get recognition.
Gods.
Wow! 110% Sparks. What a teaser!!! Can’t wait to see the film.
Goosebumpingly good😎
This is an amazing song. One of Sparks's best since "When Do I Get To Sing My Way". I was totally charged up with this opening the film. Too bad the rest of the film didn't work. It was very difficult to sit through, however, much of it strangely lingers with you long afterwards.
Terrific!
Fantastic, fantastic, fantastic... Gosh how I love you, Mael bros.
And I'm so freaking happy for Sparks having this movie, their documentary,
and not to mention a Sparkling new album coming out!
Happy for them and happy for us, we Sparks lovers.
💖⚡💖⚡
Don't know what I just saw... but I do know this: I MUST have more!
Brilliant, Definitely one of the best of the year
Amazing voice of Adam
OMGGGGG
adam driver's ass. cinema 5/5
Definitely cinema, but more 100/5.
