À quoi je sers... (original) (raw)
"À quoi je sers..." (English: "What good am I...") is a 1989 song recorded by French singer-songwriter Mylène Farmer. The song was a standalone single when it was released in July 1989, as it was previously unavailable on Farmer's albums, apart from a live version on En Concert. Marking the end of Farmer's first period of work, it achieved moderate commercial and popular success back then but is now considered a "Farmer classic".

| dbo:abstract | À quoi je sers... est une chanson de Mylène Farmer, sortie en single le 17 juillet 1989. Ce titre est alors inédit, ne figurant sur aucun album studio. Inspiré du livre L'Apprentissage de la ville de Luc Dietrich, le texte est écrit par Mylène Farmer, juste après les premières dates de sa première tournée en 1989.La musique, soutenue par quelques notes de guitare sèche, est signée Laurent Boutonnat. Le clip en noir et blanc, réalisé par Laurent Boutonnat, semble alors terminer un cycle : assise sur une barque, la chanteuse navigue sur le Styx (le fleuve des Enfers) et finit par retrouver les personnages défunts de ses anciens clips. Malgré son texte très sombre, la chanson connaît le succès, se classant même n°1 des diffusions radios en France. (fr) "À quoi je sers..."

(en) À quoi je sers... è un singolo della cantautrice francese Mylène Farmer, pubblicato il 17 luglio 1989. Il singolo è uscito qualche mese prima dell'inizio della prima tournée di Mylène Farmer nel 1989. Nonostante questo all'uscita del CD live nel 1989, il cofanetto non conterrà la canzone originale bensì solo la versione presentata in concerto, mentre la versione studio comparirà solo nel 45giri e nel cd singolo. Si dovrà aspettare l'uscita del best of Les mots per ascoltare la traccia studio su un album. Ciò nonostante il singolo presenta un inedito, La veuve noire che sarà in seguito inserita nello stesso "best of". Il video è una sorta di apocalisse dei personaggi creati da Laurent Boutonnat nei cortometraggi precedenti: ritroviamo Mylène attorniata dal burattinaio di Sans contrefaçon, la rivale di Libertine, il torero di Sans logique e tutti gli altri che si dirigono insieme nel fiume della morte. Molti fans interpretarono questo video come un addio alle scene. Il singolo ha venduto circa 160 000 copie, arrivando alla 16ª posizione della single chart, senza ottenere riconoscimenti.
