Makes me remember the year dad died...and I listened to this in the woods almost every day for over a year.

[@OscarVargas]

+JT Clark My condolences dude

[@FuerzadeArriba]

JT Clark My deepest condolences to you.

[@eberdeina2797]

Your dad lives in you right now when you listen and travel this

[@calstonjew]

My dad was dying of cancer in 2012, and this was on my ipod along with Ulver's first one. Getting much thrashed in the woods by the sea.

[@jtclark877]

Thank you guys. Revisited today and went back to that day

[@Frobbl]

2:24 - 4:00 is just so fucking perfect. That guitar solo part with the sound of children playing outsides takes you back to your childhood immidiately, you can't even do anything about it. It will take you back 100%. This Song and Souvenirs D'Un Autre Monde put nostalgia into a listenable experience like nothing else ever did.

[@LeonDan8]

I feel like remembering school times in another life! Just heavenly beautiful song

[@joshosterman5227]

That part came on and I just stopped what I was doing and started having flashbacks to simpler times. This music really captivates you.

[@ihsahnakerfeldt9280]

This is what it sounds like when music becomes transcendent and turns into an experience

[@jocelynpageau9249]

this song a solid masterpiece

[@ivanivan5511]

I discovered Alcest back in 2013, I remember falling asleep with my gf with this one album on. Then I woke up, album still playing, she was still sleeping and I had a really strange feeling that I can't describe, it was some sort of melancholy and deep calmness at the same time. That feeling hasn't a name, it was very strange. Perhaps calmness because I was with her, perhaps melancholy because my future-I was looking at that moment that wasn't going to happen again as she abandoned me.

Have you ever read Soren Kierkegaard? For some reason, I got similar kind of sentiment.

@@vojkanjovanovic7940 I know of him only, he's probably the father of Existentialism. I'm pretty existentialist myself. Everything's but memories.

[@vojkanjovanovic7940]

@@ivanivan5511 He certaintly was atleast one of the fathers of Existentialism. I especially remember one of his taughts, about how it is strange that during the positive experience sometimes we take a step back - little distance, to capture it in a way, in order to fully remember it. Like we are investing in ourown future nostalgia. I can see why music of Alcest had said effect on you. It is sad, nostalgic, yet so peaceful and commforting at the same time. Although I don't have similar experience as you, I have been falling in love in Alcest's music recently. It is a rediscovery for me.

[@ivanivan5511]

@@vojkanjovanovic7940 I honestly had no idea of this thought you mentioned. I feel now I might have experienced that same feeling or mental phenomena or at least something similar. It was like being nostalgic of the present which it sounds contradictory, but now that I'm in the future I do feel that same nostalgia remembering that moment.

TRANSLATION: In the springtime, the underwood Is an emerald-splangled Sky. The tree leaves are dancing With the soft breeze And the sunbeams, So that they turn into jewels In their light.

this album. the memories. the tears. i'm so old.

[@Absolutely_puck_fakestine]

Indeed... your even have a myspace !

[@Akhin]

Hard to believe the first time I listened to this was 13 years ago ... I immediately fell in love, but never imagined the extent to which this music would impact me. What a crazy ride, being alive.

[@ihsahnakerfeldt9280]

Some of the most ethereal music I've ever heard

[@roadflare]

same, this brought me out of my doom-filled black metal days, and helped me see some beauty again in jist existing

[@ragnid]

Its been 17 years and I still cant believe how much emotion and meaning this album still carries anytime you listen, there's no other as this exact one... Cant believe its been so long since its release, totally most wonderful and melancholic experience ever...

[@thegenocide6666]

Neige is a fucking genious!!!

[@AkiraTano]

I'm way late to the party but.. this is one of the most powerful and emotional songs I have ever heard. And at 47 years old, I've been around the musical block. Fucking beautiful.

[@SpiritMatthias]

Never too late to come to the party my fellow soul. Everyone is always welcome

[@FrossetBlod]

No words for what this band has meant to me over the years. Actually met Neige in passing without knowing it was him. Lantlos and Alcest are a part of my heart.

[@ViniciusMartarello]

This song is pure bliss

[@viniciusoliveira1987]

Wish they'd still sound like this today.

[@alessandromariani99]

Yeah, after Shelter they're no more shoegaze, only post-black metal.

[@talon6277]

Such a beautiful song

[@prophecyBC]

indeed

[@claim2game027]

Les sous-bois au printemps Sont une voûte céleste Constellée d'émeuraudes. Les feuilles des arbres dansent Avec la brise légère Et les rayons du soleil Pour que sa lumière Les transforme en joyaux.

[@FenrizBelial]

This song makes me cry like a little child. I love it.

[@gbaby9629]

Best track these guys made

[@viniciusoliveira1987]

This one is just Neige by himself. Still the best from Alcest, I agree.

[@ukiz]

14 years ago one my girlfriend broke with me and it was really hard time. I wasnt metalhead but got luck to find this album. Listening it nonstop like weeks. It was the only thing healed me that days and still is.

[@meretsegerlouis]

Great album! It is a great surprise to find this material. The songs generate a pleasant atmosphere despite what one might suppose in the face of so much distortion and great moments of double tempo.

[@ihsahnakerfeldt9280]

The production values are actually what you'd find in a bleak low-fi black metal album which makes the contrast to the purely blissful bright sounding melodies all the more shocking

[@dheemanghosh3508]

2:50 to 4:05 feels like my soul gets out from my body and roams about...i am literally unable to concentrate outside an ethereal trance when it happens. and the William Wordsworthian lyrics!! damn!!

[@wsandoe]

i'm so glad i found this band... 47 now and almost tearing up when he starts to sing in Elevation. This is so pure music as it gets...

[@idaniilkolomietsi7660]

hello 2B

[@viniciusoliveira1987]

I agree. The production at the last albums made them sound small compared to the early ones. After they got into good and clean production their sound lost the impact they had on Souvenirs...

[@lafilletresbonne1234]

La chanson de ma favorite. Il me fait rappeler ce garcon.. Les sentiments je recois de cette chanson est tres puissante que je ne peux pas dire.

I love this album to death

[@goldehh1069]

me too. this album is everything to me.

[@egodormiosedcormeumvigilat4353]

Alcest is Neoplatonic, high- and late-scholastic; and also, Wordsworthian ("And I have felt / A presence that disturbs me with the joy / Of elevated thoughts; a sense sublime, / Of something far more deeply interfused, / Whose dwelling is the light of settings suns, / And the round ocean and the living air, / And the blue sky, and in the mind of man; / A motion and a spirit, that impels / All thinking things, all objects of all thought, / And rolls through all things."). If we're not too smug to let ourselves trust our true feelings, we love this band.

Fucking incredible, and to think this came from a member of a black metal band. Ahhh this is heaven.

[@nathm2854]

Your comment is a bit old, but the blackgaze subgenre has its roots in black metal and I do believe Neige pioneered it into mainstream. So, there shouldn't be any surprise here.
