Pierce the thick skin That weighs upon my shoulders Tear it off of me Limb by limb Piece by piece So I may show you who I am Beyond my body Beyond my flesh So you may catch a glimpse Of my non-human Shards of light Behold me As I am And embrace me Do not let them Rob me of my soul Do not let them tarnish it
The is my favorite Alcest song. It represents so many different emotions and weaves them all together so perfectly. By the time the song is finished you feel like something new.
My 13 year old daughter listened to this and told me it's the most beautiful song she's ever heard. I hope she will forget about K-pop soon lol. I think her and my 15 year old son are becoming fans of Alcest. My son's alarm tone is Oiseaux de Proie 😁
I saw them at a small club in my city, back at the days of Kodama tour. When they played this song, it was beyond description. It was a small crowd, but at the end of this marvelous piece, most of the crowd stood silent, contemplating, some of them in tears. It's sublime. Can't find any other words to describe their music.
This is the first album and the first group where I can love all their songs. You embodied sounds and emotions that are present but invisible. Spectacular. I listen to it even if it breaks my psyche. At the same time, I feel free. I'm facing the wind, there are mountains inside me and of course a starry night or a sunrise, it's hard to describe, it's just a strong feeling. This is the highest level of art. I do not exist and I am part of nature. It smells of wildflowers. There's the crackle of a campfire. I am an artist's pain while listening to this album. I can be anything on this album. There is death in it, in vitality. It's like when a skjaldmaer falls in love. Greetings from turkey.
When I first listened to Alcest I was about 12, now I’m 17 and the passion I feel for them it’s the only thing that hasn’t changed with the years, I still cry with every song and I don’t know why, It’s just so powerful
Lyrics Déchire la peau épaisse Qui pèse sur mes épaules Détache-la pour moi Membre par membre Pièce par pièce Je veux te montrer qui je suis Au delà de mon corps Au delà de ma chair Te laisser entrevoir Mes éctats limpides Non humains Regarde-moi Tel que je suis Et accepte-moi Ne les laisse pas Me voler mon âme Ne les laisse pas la ternir
i am proud to be french because of you guys. alcest is one band that makes me happy to be alive. something so incredibly divine about their work. i cannot put it into words. this is my favorite song. i love you guys.
I saw them my first time a few years ago while visiting my wife’s family in Utah. Excellent show and we got to meet the band afterwards. We joked with the singer that we came all the way from NYC to see them. He looked mortified and said ‘we’re going to be there in two weeks. Why didn’t you wait?’ So we went again.
one of the most moving experiences of my life. Was there with my significant other and you could just grasp the love inside the venue. Alcest is pure magic.
Alcest, thank you for this wonderful piece of music, and playing this in Vienna on October 21st 2017! Especially this part is epic: 3:40 - 4:30, it is such a positive mood ... man thats got something ... the 4 bass notes are so simple but so powerful!
Eclosion Omuzlarıma çöken Kalın deriyi yırt Kaldır onu benim için Uzuv uzuv... Parça parça... Sana kim olduğumu göstermek istiyorum Bedenimin ötesinde Tenimin ötesinde Belki böylece yakalayabilirsin İnsani olmayan berrak ışıltılarımdan bir belirti Olduğum gibi bak bana Ve kabul et beni Ruhumu çalmalarına, onu kirletmelerine izin verme
Dude the first time I ever heard Alcest I was on a low dose of mushrooms and listening to Spotify. “Autre temps” came on my whole body was chilled to the bone. Straight orgasm. One of the very few good moments in life.
[Là Où Naissent Les Couleurs Nouvelles], [Eclosion], Oiseaux de proie, [Percées de lumiere], Autre temps, Souvenirs de un autre monde, Ecailles de lune pt.1 and 2, and delivrance are my favorite songs
Anyone else noticed the beep at 1:20? Sounds like car horn. :) I was writing down the drum notes for practice and have been listening to this song back and forth.
Why wouldn't you be proud to be French? At least you're not American, where the whole rest of the world looks at you askew because of who your president is, (and I don't blame them for it).
Well you guys won the World Championship in Russia. So that's something cool i guess (i don't really like football, soccer, fútbol, whatever it's called).
this album was inspired by the movie Princess Mononoke, wich is fantasy, but is by the way inspired by the real conflict of humankind and nature, an actual and fundamental question
