“Borealis” is the ending track of “Good Faith.” In his AMA on /r/electronicmusic, Madeon described the song as being “about fatherhood and my future children.” Man, I wish I could've thought of these lyrics, so profound yet so simply laid down to grace our ears
It's funny not even reading the comments about how Madeon said this was about fatherhood and future children, and yet, just from reading the lyrics, that's the exact feeling I got, from listening to them as well. Borealis is cool because it's something beautiful that sits in the sky, for the people below to see, and that's sort of like Fatherhood to me, watching over your kids, watching over them, leaving behind hopefully something beautiful for them to look up to, as they live their lives below, while you move on up above.
I swear. When I first heard this. I started to imagine me in the future. When I wil have kids. transparent curtains will b moving with the wind ..and I will make sure my kids listen and know bout Madeon and especially this song. He is just amazing
Now that I've reached the end of the album, I will briefly review it: First of all, it can't really be compared to 'Adventure' because they're both completely different albums with their own styles and feels. Madeon has still kind of retained his original style which is good. The album is a great one and an amazing, though brief, journey. The tracks are emotive as always and retain that nostalgic feel I know Madeon deals in. What a comeback he's made. The 4 year gap was well worth the wait. Love this and had bought it halfway through; a risky move, IK, but my decision has only been proven more correct as the journey of emotion continued. Thanks Madeon. For everything. For being there all those years ago when I was 15 and didn't know where life was heading, crying at 9pm after slogging away at my GCSEs and feeling like I just couldn't go on. After this 4 year break, I'm now in my second year at uni in a course I love in a place I love surrounded by great people and great music. Just like 'Adventure' was the turning point in my life when I started to mature as a person, 'Good Faith' is the checkpoint where I start taking control of my life and living it. Thanks again. I have enjoyed your wonderful, unique creations over the last 5 years and look forward to seeing what else the future brings with your career. If you ever feel like your music doesn't matter to anyone, believe me when I say it does; it has formed checkpoints in my life alone! It brings people joy and comforts them when they're upset. Big up.
The end to a beautiful, and flawless album. Madeon will forever be my favourite producer. This song is making me reflect on how much has changed in my life since Adventure came out 4 years ago. His sound creates such an evocative bath of nostalgia, while still being forward thinking and fresh. Masterpiece. Thank you, Hugo.

*Lyrics* (reposted) *[Verse 1]* A light from dark In a land by the sea Came from the sky You'll be named after me *[Chorus]* But you'll be made of passion, out of love Keep us alive up above And I won't make a plan for who you'll be You'll be named after me *[Verse 2]* You can be someone I could never have been When I'm said and done You'll be there after me *[Chorus]* But you'll be made of passion, out of love Keep us alive up above And I won't make a plan for who you'll be You'll be named after me
This makes me feel really happy, yet sad. Almost as if this last song perfectly conveys the end to a four year long journey, and the start of a new one. ❤
Been a fan for like 5 years I wanna let you know you know you never disappoint I love this album I can tell you wanted everything perfect like always. Its crazy this albums free
Madeon singing about his future child, saying “You’ll be made out of passion, out of love... named after me” I have no idea why it actually made me cry but cool
“I won’t make a plan for you’ll be”. I can already tell that Madeon is going to be a great father. I think that line means that he will let his kids life their own life and discover themselves and who they want to be (of course he will help them along the way and raise them well, hopefully).
For someone who want to sing like me here the lyrics:) *A light from the north In a land by the sea Come from the sky You'll be named after me [Chorus] And you'll be made of passion Out of love Keep us alive up above And I won't make a plan for what you'll be Still You'll be named after me [Verse 2] You can something more You can never have been I've said enough, oh You're named after me [Chorus] And you'll be made of passion Out of love Keep us alive up above And I won't make a plan for what you'll be Still You'll be named after me*
And...this is the final track on the album! I think I'm going to cry...Just wanna thank you for everything man! Your music has always been so inspiring! From adventure to good faith, every song's been crafted so beautifully! Thank you man! Thanks a lot! I learn from you every single day trying to get better over time! 😊💙
This album gives me hope that I can regain who I used to be before all the bad shit happened. Thanks Madeon for giving me hope of finding myself again.
Emily Dunlap that’s right! Always take it day by day, and remember to stop once in a while and collect yourself! If you feel weak at times, remember that I believe you can overcome whatever you’re going through! Keep your head up and strive to better yourself. :)
Emily Dunlap no problem! If you need someone to talk to, feel free to hit me up! I don’t think RU-vid has messenger but go right ahead and let me know on here! Take good care!
Hello Madeon, I don't know if you'll ever see this but anyway, here I go. I've been following you for a while now and your music has really helped me through hard times. I used to find it so weird when people say these kinds of things to artists, it seemed so exagerated to me. But now I can truly say that you releasing new musics have greatly helped me regain confidence in the future and the will to fight despite the struggles. So thank you! I deeply admire you as an artist, be it your unique soul that you put in your music, or the constant impression of going from a universe to an other as each piece starts. These last songs you posted are so amazing. Continue de nous faire rêver, danser, sourire. Merci !
does anyone know that one video where those BTS stans cried at a music video? i always thought it was funny because who cries to music?? well, thanks madeon. i do now.
Crying at music isn't unusual? 🤣🤣 I've been doing that since I was 7 lmao and even cried at Madeon's Adventure album. like most of the songs. and of course all of BTS' discography at this point LOL
2 years ago, I was the one who voted dislike, and now, the dislike counter has 1 less. Idk why, but now I know that this whole album is treasure to me, love everything.
After my break-up from a 10-year relationship where I had seriously considered having kids with my EX, I thought fatherhood was not meant for me since it hurt me so much to even think about it. If I wasn't good enough, then why bother? But after hearing this song, my mind has been changed. Madeon has inspired, no, motivated and convinced me that maybe, just maybe having a kid won't be so bad after all. I just have to find the right woman to share my future with. This is why Madeon will always be my #1 artist/producer of all-time. I will follow him and his music to the ends of the Earth because he has filled me with FAITH when nothing else could've. Thank you, Hugo, for all that you do.
Feels of the golden hour- honeydew, beautiful sunset, except this time it’s the phenomenon and the scenery of the aurora borealis in blue and green lights. Quite magical. 🔊✨✨
@elemental theory what are you talking about lmao why would would anyone care about the comment likes, I don’t know if you know this but not everything on the internet revolves around getting likes. It’s also about making jokes (although the joke I made was not very good I stand by my point) Just because someone types something remotely negative replying to a comments section doesn’t and should not automatically mean that they are jealous, that kind of mindset will destroy a person.
@elemental theory I need to get a life? I know you don’t think I’m a comedian, but it seems like you are considering you say that while taking time to respond to 5 peoples’ innocuous comments
Holy--! I have been attempting to put together a timeline of the Good Faith songs and I finally remembered to look at the lyrics for this THIS IS LITERALLY THE END THE SINGER IS GONNA HAVE A KID
Perfect song to end an album with, feels like a culmination of his journey and the story told, simply breathtaking. You did, you created one of the best albums in the world, congratulations because you deserve it.
Man I wish I could come see you in Chicago. That's my dream bruv. ♥️ Much love, for the music, but most especially you. The Creator, the master, the mind behind such creativity.
This is such a touching and wonderful song! It makes me feel hopeful and want to lay down to stare at the universe. I'll be listening to this for a long long time
one of my favorites off the new album!! thank you for this. i'm happy to have been a listener for a few years now - looking forward to more of your beautiful creations in the future
