Official Translation] Tonight, my soul, Enslaved and worn by earthly sorrows, Will feel the need to escape this prison of flesh. Far away from us and from our time, It shall leave for the stars. They will speak to my soul about its existence In pure and silent words, They will show it the way To unknown havens Where heaven meets earth These faraway lands Where high grasses in amber fields Dance with the light, forevermore. Where all memories of our earthly lives May wander free Despite Time and its vengeful attempt To erase it all.
For all of you who lost someone... Alcest is somehow a state of calm and despair. Whenever I hear this song I feel somehow stronger and weaker at the same time, thanks to that kind of Magic Neige brings to us all. This song makes me remember of things that never been...
@@suppose4261 I can never deny light, I can never deny hope. My home is in these faraway lands with high grasses in amber fields. Thank you for your kind words, brothers.
I have led a similar life so far, but the least I could say, is that I'm a bit proud of myself, despite the blunders I have made, I have come so far, yet so far to go. There's a fairness to the unfairness of life. But, what's in your hand, is to never truly give up, to keep getting up, no matter what.

@@pemcconnell Wow, you believe automatically what some random dude on Twitter said, like the news outlets? It isn't evident beyond reasonable doubt. It's always the same people who repeat that information, and that information is regurgitated again from an anonymous source.
@@pemcconnell Yes I did. One new person emerged and that's some Wayne Beckett dude, who seems to have conveniently appeared after he posted on Kiwifarms and kind of embarrassed himself by saying he had a picture of his corpse. There's very little content related to the situation on the article, with most being filler talking about online harassment and trolling. I will give them the credit that they at least mentioned Twitter as well. But they did cherry pick one post where some mad at the internet dude said he wanted to dance on Byuu's corpse. While this post indeed is present, the problem is the article doesn't provide a screenshot of it. And let's not forget that no new information about the alleged suicide appeared, it's still "trust me bro". One would think his family would come out with their take on all this, which is what happened with that dolphin dev who commited suicide. And who's that anonymous source anyways? As you can see there are holes in the story. And the elephant in the room, his thread was barely active, having 13 pages, and turned out to be a personal army attempt from the OP who got ridiculed as well. He was also well known in the scene and involved in drama years before his Kiwifarms thread. Pretty sure that the people who DID harass him just used Kiwifarms as a scapegoat, were banned from Kiwifarms at some point, or had beef with some higher ups from Kiwifarms.
I just love how this video is filmed. We never really see the whole of something, or if we do it's through intense light filters. I kept craning my neck, trying to peek around it, trying to see everything...but couldn't. It was like a video of half-rememberings, dreams that seem real and then start to vanish the more you try to concentrate on them. And knowing the backstory of Alcest, I'm fairly certain this is the exact effect Neige wanted. Love everything about this!
Oh my God, you said almost everything that was on my mind! Half-rememberings of being in beautiful places of the astral plane, floating and soaring in ways the earthly human body can't. Not specific scenes, just flashes of the "voyages" of his soul :)
@@thenoobgamer816 When Neige was a child, he would find himself in another world, which he would refer to as a fairy land of sorts. These 'visions'/'transportations' began to disappear the older he grew, so he started Alcest as a way of preserving the memories he had of these experiences. Hence why 'Souvenirs d'un autre monde' is called what it is - the translation is 'memories from another world'. :)
@@trve_vmbra Near was a person who was doxxed by the site Kiwi farms and where harassed so much by the people on the site to the point of suicide,they had mentioned the site directly playing a part in them killing themselves,this was the last thing they posted in there thread on Twitter.(also I know this is late but it is important for you to know,also the site recently went down and it feels like a win for all the people who killed themselves because of kiwi farms)
"Les Voyages de L'âme" Ce soir sans doute mon âme Asservie, usée par les bas chagrins Sentira le besoin de fuir sa prison de chair Très loin de nous, de notre temps Elle s'en tra rejoindre les étoiles Elles lui parleront de sa propre existence En des mots purs et silencieux Et lui montreront un chemin Menant vers les havres inconnus Reliant ciel et terre Ces contrées lontaines Où les hautes herbes dans les champs vermeils A jamais valsent avec la lumière Où peuvent librement errer Tous les souvenirs de nos vies sur terre Que le temps vengeur aura voulu efface
There is no way you can understand what he sings even if french is you native language. I wonder it's about suicide or reaching Nirvana and break cycle of rebirth...
metal is one of the greatest genres of music and i know many of us metal heads are humble and not ego driven so we dont need taylor swift awards its all great and we are all created by god for a purpose heavy metal live on especially the heavy metal with positive god fearing messages!!!!!
Suicide is a selfish act. Those who commit suicide don't realize the pain and anguish that action leaves behind. It doesn't stop the pain and suffering, it let's it endure. Humans are connected beings. Your life reaches to others in ways you might not be able to realize. Life is always worth living. But choosing to live is beyond some people's ability. The ability to cope with what happens in life is a skill that some cannot learn on their own. Just accepting life for what it is and isn't is a huge challenge.
@@_Zarrku You have no fucking idea what drives people to suicide. The pain they feel, the hopelessness left in them, the lack of a conscience. The inability to make the right decision. You don’t know shit. You should shut the fuck up if you know what’s good for you, because suicide is never an act out of the desire to satiate a greedy need. It’s a false pretense of escape that you can’t help but believe when everything grows worse and worse. Get the fuck out before you make it worse with your dumb bullshit.
Damn dude, I just think the same. I can tell my friends" Hey have you checked Myrath, Orphaned Land, Catharsis, etc." but I never mention Alcest. Alcest is our secret and just Neige will expand his horizons.
Near, you will be deeply missed. You not only did amazing thing for the emulation community, but you also had fantastic tastes in music. May your soul rest in peace, forever.
Esta noche sin duda mi alma, esclavizada, desgastada por las penas, sentirá la necesidad de huir de su prisión carnal. Muy lejos de nosotros, de nuestro tiempo, ella se unirá a las estrellas. Ellas les hablarán de su propia existencia con palabras puras y silenciosas, y les mostrarán un camino que llevan hacia puertos desconocidos que unen el cielo y la tierra. Estas tierras lejanas, donde las altas hierbas en los campos bermellones jamás danzarán con la luz; Donde podrán vagar libremente todos los recuerdos de nuestra vida en la Tierra. Estos lugares lejanos, donde las altas hierbas en los campos bermellones jamás danzarán con la luz; Donde podrán vagar libremente todos los recuerdos de nuestra vida en la Tierra. Que el tiempo en venganza ha deseado desaparecer.
Alcest is beyond any genres,Neige is an evolved soul who has been there whenever I needed to remind myself of the truth that life is far more beautiful. Every moment that passes here is a gift and this journey is just a step in the journey we have been through and lies ahead of us. Viva la France Viva la Alcest.
J'ai decouvert Alcest en cherchant un groupe de métal Français pour un projet et je l'adore! Les paroles sont poétique, la musique et attendrissant et je peux vraiment l'apprécier.
this is the best band of all time. i just cant explain its such magical. i met neige at the barther metal open air in 2012 and he is a very sympathic guy. go on make such beautiful music!
I have known then since Souvenirs D'Un Autre Monde...in december finally I was luckly to see them at O2 academy in Manchester together with Katatonia....at the gig, their notes carried my soul and my thoughts as autumn leaves carried by the cold wind under a pale sun....a stream of flashing colours, untold images and dreams...a trip...thanks Niege...
thnk....She gave me a taste of reality. She tried to pull me up .. I did not listen or accept her identity. I refused all along ... Thanks to my good friend along.

All the negative reviews aside for a moment, I would like to say that there's probably a gorgeous amount of symbolism in this video. (The relationship between the bare-footed man and the one covered in plant material, for examle) Both, as far as I can tell, are within this "otherworld" Neige bases his music on... Just wanted to put that out there. Cheers!
To me, this represents the climax of Neige's creative evolution. A true journey to another world. The video is perfect in realising the dreamlike visions that Alcest weaves. A higher quality version would be great.
as a musician i have written many pieces under the influentuality of alcest especially when im smoking marijuana the notes just carry you away his voice just soothes your mind good hangover music and when your high im not bring up me smoking weed to big up myself just a little treat for you all if you do smoke it :)
This video is absolutely beautiful, don't care what others say. It matches the song just fine, in it's own atmospheric way. It makes me feel the way the song does, without distracting me too much from the music itself.
No se como, pero este grupo, sobretodo esta canción... da sensación que simplemente no se pueden explicar.. va mucho mas alla de ser solo una "canción", Increíble.
Je n'avais pas trop accroché en entendant Percées de Lumière de l'album Ecailles de Lune mais en revanche, j'aime beaucoup celle-ci. Je pense que je vais pas tarder à me plonger dans votre discographie. Bravo pour cette chanson en tout cas, c'est vraiment très agréable à écouter :)
