Djorkaeff, the shameful file

We are in November 2000. The French football team is on the roof of the world after winning the 1998 World Cup at home and Euro 2000 in Belgium and the Netherlands.

The Blues are then particularly bankable. Several of them appear in advertisements, like Zinedine Zidane, while others try to push the song. This is particularly the case of Youri Djorkaeff, who releases the title Live in your light.

In the clip, the “snake” appears in black tank top. On electronic music, the one who then evolves in Kaiserslautern tries to rap. “Princess so many things separate us/My life is chance/I tattooed on my arms/tagged in my memory/the drawing of both of us/the duo of your eyes”, Let go of the former Paris Saint-Germain player, in his first verse, with an approximate flow.

Djorkaeff, the flop

On the cover of the single CD, the name Djorkaeff does not appear. Perhaps a choice on the part of the native of Lyon, who surely suspected that this song writes and composed by Paul Tordjmann would hardly work on the commercial level.

Effectively, Live in your light absolutely did not meet his audience. Following this flop, Youri Djorkaeff did not continue in the musical field. He continued his international career with the Blues until 2002 and definitively hung up the crampons in 2006 after an experience in MLS.
