A picture of modern existence: "j'ai tout" by Laurent Corbec

"j'ai tout" by Laurent Corbec

A picture of modern existence and the inner emptiness associated with it. At some point, external possessions are no longer enough to achieve a feeling of contentment. 

In "j'ai tout," Laurent Corbec explains how connectivity and the endless flow of information lead to a feeling of isolation and meaninglessness. Social interactions and digital content stand in stark contrast to inner loneliness, and the search for meaning in life begins. 

"j'ai tout" raises the question of whether the existing abundance, be it material and/or digital, of modern society actually leads to a fulfilled life or whether this abundance rather reinforces the inner emptiness. The lines invite reflection on the true value of possessions and the importance of deep, authentic human connections. 

Ultimately, the song seems to highlight the discrepancy between outer wealth and inner lack and criticises the superficiality of the modern way of life in the thoughtful indie folk & singer/songwriter genre. "j'ai tout" by Laurent Corbec is a thought-provoking piece that many people can relate to.
