For years, Gérald Lenorman had a conflicting relationship with his mother. Rejected by the one who gave him life, the singer dedicated a very moving title to him, written to forgive him.
“I love you even stronger, stronger, stronger than madly”. These words, Gérald Lenorman wrote them with Serge Lama in homage to his Mum. This title, present on his latest album, has a particular flavor for the singer. Because for years, he had a conflicting relationship with his mother. Like Serge Lama, whose mother was his father’s “jailor”, Gérald Lenorman was traumatized by his eldest. “With Serge, we have a common history. We are twins in a way in this respect. We both had absolutely terrible moms.“, he confided in the columns of Cine TV Revue. This song, Maman, was very important for Gérard Lenorman, who thus managed to forgive the one who made him suffer so much.
“Wounds remain wounds, there is nothing to do. But in life, you have to help yourself. And give in. We are better liberated. We cannot get stuck on acts that are only bad reactions human beings. To persist is ridiculous”, he philosophized in the columns of our colleagues. A few weeks ago on the set of C à vous, Gérard Lenorman explained that he had never called his mother “mom”. “It’s not a question of age, even though she was only 16 when I was born. It’s mostly a question of psychology and a terrible lack of love, he added, very moved. I was something to hate. She didn’t want me. We wonder why, at one point, it does not stop. Either way, once it was over, it was too late.”
Gérald Lenorman: “She tells me: ‘Don’t call me mom in front of people'”
It must be said that his mother hid the heaviest of secrets from him: the true identity of his father. It was only as an adult that Gérard Lenorman learned that he was in fact the son of a German soldier with whom his mother had had a brief affair. It is the story of his birth that he also told in the song Warum my father. On the set of The unexpected parenthesis a few years ago, he remembered the day his mother had put her aside. “It was her wedding day, with a gentleman. And there she said to me: ‘Don’t call me mum in front of people. For me, it was an awful scene because I was happy that my mother was getting married.” he explained before adding: “I was delighted to see her get married because she was going to have a family. For me it was a few hours of hope. I was frozen very quickly”.
