Alcest - Percées De Lumière

J'avais 14 ans quand ma sœur m'a écouté cette morceau de Split EP avec Les Discrets. J'ai maintenant 25 ans et j'lécoute depuis. Cette chanson était toujours plus proche de moi que tout le monde, tout les histoires. Après les années, je suis devenue sculptrice et j'ai toujours essayé de convertir cette morceau en sculpture. J'ai fait de nombreuse pieces inspirées des votre chansons. J'ai appris le français pour bien comprendre les paroles. Enfin, j'ai pu venir à Bruxelles (de la Turquie) grâce à mes sculptures et ma langue. Merci Alcest, vous avez changé toute ma vie !

[@win-ju]

J'ai oublié de dire, on pouvait pas acheter votre t-shirt, on en a fait à la main :)

[@ProductionSktT]

Très belle histoire !!

[@Jinger25]

Bravo pour ton français qui n'est pas parfait, mais qui rend authentique cette si belle histoire. Moi aussi je suis né à l'étranger, et j'adore la France, la langue de mollière et Alcest.

Neige's shrieks are the fucking best in the game seriously his screams are so emotional and harsh at the same time

[@kaladin7487]

This whole album is just amazing. I've heard it many times but I love it more with each listen

[@VinaOrion]

Best Alcest's song ever❤

[@Fireworksandthunder]

This whole album but especially Percées De Lumière reminds me of my ex girlfriend and summer, the first weeks alone, the feeling of warmth and the sun, like it would never end. No worries, no school, no responsibilities. Feeling empty and at peace at the same time, being out of my first depressions and the mental hospital just a few months. Though I'm doing so much better now, I wish I could time travel and go back. Every type of music can store memories, but damn, this style can hold books...

[@kaladin7487]

I know exactly what you mean

[@tjrbslipknot]

I get you man, cheers!

[@apo75018]

Relatable.

[@Hoopspur]

Exactly, everyone craves the good times from their youth.

[@MoistCubicle]

Wow same exact story for me though. I was with my ex and it was the summer of the year I finished highschool and we were living together in a single rented room but had just started to become severely addicted to heroin. I'd play this album as we fell asleep s snuggling. The relationship ended poorly and I lost everything I had to my name from his mother tossing all of my belongings while i was in rehab. This album definitely brings nostalgia from better times.

[@syntheovaldy5173]

Am I the only one who absolutely loves the 2:44-3:21 part?

[@silenoz666]

I remember seeing them in a concert; then this song came, all I could do was close my eyes and listen, enjoy, feel the music. Absolutely perfect, beautiful and evocative song.

[@akizpandemonium9511]

David Perez I heard this song live two days ago. It was so amazing it gave me shivers! Neige is a great musician, long live Alcest!

I found today this EPIC song and hearing it for the first time, i thought the same thing.

[@tricie2419]

Paroles : Au bord de l'onde la chaleur intense du Soleil m'enivre. Je m'abreuve à sa Lumière, et laisse ses rayons ardents délier mes membres engourdis, pour m'offrir une seconde Naissance. Là haut un ciel sans nuage, d'un bleu étourdissant, se fond avec la Mer. Ivre de lumière, j'ai maintenant l'impression de ne plus marcher sur votre soi, et entends les cris de mon âme non Humaine implorer sa Libération.

[@edmarija]

I remember the day i saw them live first time, i have met a special person on the show. We were listening to all the alcest performance, and even thinking that person has moved on, till this day i remember that performance as a true magic, the band, forest,the pure magic in the air, that person's smile during the show, this is what I'll never forget. Alcest brings real magic in their shows, spreading love all around. I really wish all the best for that man i have met during the show, he was special. ❤️

[@dylanwelkin9571]

4:16 Jaw falls on floor, every time. Astonishingly beautiful track, along with Agalloch's Into The Painted Grey this is the best song this long in the tooth metal fan has heard from this decade.

[@Generationalwealth94]

this track is so eerie. it really evokes the deepest feelings of sadness, loneliness and despair. definitely one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard.

MY BEST SONG IN THE WORLD!!!!!!, ALCEST THANK YOU FOR EXISTING

[@eustaquioberriochoamartine9907]

Es una conjunción genial entre lo más hondo, más allá de lo jondo, casi llegando al hara, donde no hay espacio para la luz, pero sí para el eco profundo del pozo más profundo, y el color melódico de las guitarras que son a la par,tan heavies como delicadas. A esto, por si fuera poco, añadimos la variante coral, suave, incluso atrevidamente angelical...Es el inicio del paso del umbral a otros mundos, que esta gente explora y manifiesta a a través del arte musical.. guapísimo💪 Daniel soriano Eustaquio Berriochoa

[@thematthatter673]

I fucking love the blackgaze genre. It's so fresh compared to other metal. All of the atmosphere and dark beauty of black metal with the amazing guitar and musical sound of shoegaze. They aren't two things I thought would go together if I hadn't heard these guys, Ghost Bath, Deafheaven, etc. Just an amazing, fresh genre.

[@danieldelatorre9135]

well blacgaze is kinda 15 years old

translation : Riding the intense heat wave, the sun makes me drunk I drink his light and let its fiery rays untie my extremities they offer me a second birth the heaven without a cloud, of a dizzying blue weds the sea Drunk with light, now I have the impression of not walking by my own listen to my human soul craving for release.

As a French I can barely hear a word or two in this particular part of the song. I think he repeatedly says "le nuage, le ciel" (the cloud, the sky) but can't be 100% sure.

[@panagiotischaralampopoulos7152]

DEAR FRIEND. IT IS A MISTAKE TO MAKE CONCLUSIONS FOR SOMEONE WITHOUT KNOWNING HIM. MAYBE YOU ARE JUST THE THIS TYPE OF PROGRESSIVE FAN WHO SWALLOWS EVERY PROGRESSIVE BULLSHIT AND CALLS IT PROGRESS EVEN IF YOU KNOW DEEP INSIDE IT IS NOT WORTH LIKE. A BAND IS NOT ONLY THE MEMBERS OF THE BAND BUT THEIR FANS ALSO. AND A BAND MUST HEAR ITS FANS ALSO. THEY ARE THE ARTISTS BUT THERE ARE SO MANY EXAMPLES WITH ARTISTS TRY TO SELL AS A PROGRESS EVERY BULLSHIT THEY PRODUCE IN A NON INSPIRATION PERIOD TRYING TO PERSUADE ALL OTHERS THAT THEY ARE MAKINF SOMENTHING NEW. THIS IS NOT FOR ALCEST !!!!! YOU CAN NOT HEAR FROM ALCEST PLAYING BRUTAL DEATH METAL AND PERSUADE US THAT THIS A PROGRESS. ANYWAY EVERYTHING IS A MATTER OF TASTE . BUT DO NOT JUDGE OTHERS SO EASILY. WE ARE DEALING WITH MUSIC 35 YEARS NOW AND MAYBE WE CAN UNDERSTAND ( A LITTLE BIT WHAT PROGRESS IS AND IF IT FITS TO A BAND OR NOT ACCORDING WITH OUR TASTE). I NEVER BLAME BANDS FOR PLAYING SOMETHING THAT I DO NOT LIKE . I SIMPLY TELL MY OPINION WHICH OF COURSE IS NOT TO BE FOLLOWED BY ANYONE ELSE. HAVE A NIC SUMMER FRIEND
