Alcest - Summer's Glory

[@Svoorhout85]

This song reminds me of last summer. I spent most of it in the park with my friends just sitting in a circle sharing stories, making music and drinking beer till the sun went down. I was so tanned back then... Listening to this song makes me nostalgic for those days and also hopefull for this years summer!

[@ShinnZaw]

Indeed

[@greys1989]

I listened to this song heavy when my brother passed away and remembered our time in the mountain ranges of Utah where we all jammed it. It hits hard every time real, real, real hard. RIP Z. I love you brother.

[@angelicaburns]

The most beautiful music in the world I have heard since Peter Steele had gone. It makes me happy and melancholy at the same time. Totally in love with this music.

[@inP4nic]

A friend from work told me about this band and he said to get this album especially. I thought it would be just another metall cd but DAMN.... This is a level of pure bliss that I haven't experienced since my first girlfriend. I sit here with a 2x 7.2 speaker system and it is the closest thing I have ever been to heaven. and NO I am not a virgin ;)

[@linojvni2038]

happy new year everybody

[@justintobin]

Where has this music been all my life?

[@brubalu]

Ce matin j'ai vu réapparître L'immense soleil qui nous nourrit. Juillet s'en vient enfin Ainsi que ton sourire. Nous avons dormi toute une année, A présent réveillons nous, Allons recueillir l'ivresse Qui vogue dans l'air de l'été. Juillet s'en vient Notre cœur dégèle Je me sens si léger. - This morning, I saw reappear The immense sun which feeds us July is finally coming closer, And so is your smile We have slept for a whole year Now, let's all awake Let's go and collect the euphoria Drifting on the summer wind July is coming closer, Our heart unfreezes I feel so light

[@Suixa]

Beautifull song :') This is pure love, Neige truly is a genius. Being able to create such a beautifull and emotional song. Can listen to this for hours..

[@RoxiePloxie]

It's 5 years later.... and in the years my music taste is becoming bigger and bigger, but still want this song for my funeral! i know its weird too think about that while im still young but its just because it makes my world standing still for a moment and it's giving me chills everytime i hear this song.. I hope they feel chills too, so they will remember this AWESOME song and all the happy memories!!! this song is so underated.

[@restpack]

cool story bro

[@RoxiePloxie]

7 years later then my previous post and still want this at my funeral 🤣 btw thanks Alcest for making a new awesome album which released today! ❤

[@DiegoKatabian]

I believe Neige's ability to create a song so beautiful, bittersweet and emotional is beyond anything I've ever seen.

[@KaosChrist]

Truly one of the greatest musicians of our time. No question.

[@alessandromariani99]

The Alcest's song that evokes me the strongest emotions. Probably my favorite by them. And it is also some kind of perfect "Exit Music" (for a film).

[@AdrianCelsiusTepes]

Neige is as good as he has always been I find, and like he says, he's music gets just "warmer", neither better nor worse

[@b.entranceperium]

This song is so beautiful, that it hurts. Saw these guys twice on their US Tour 2017 in St. Louis and Nashville. Would do it again 10000000 times. They're a perfect band. Nothing speaks to emotions better than this...

[@MrCemsipahi]

this is one of the best songs I have heard for a very long time..

[@FuerzadeArriba]

I always go back to this gorgeous song, it’s like the beginning of a dreamy era, I love this, Neige is a genius.

[@FuerzadeArriba]

4 years later and this still hits.

[@arormann03]

Beautiful song. I can listen to it like 100 times. Specially love the way it ends.

[@TheJoelmusick]

Type O Positive :-)

[@zrinkamatezovic1535]

TheJoelmusick Hahaha great!!! :"D

[@eldemasiado]

5:03 to the end.. Pure "thiswilldestroyyou"style. Love it. Awesome

[@fleshtombstoner]

C'est ouf comment se groupe est magnifique ! Chaque musique je me dis celle ci c'est la meilleure et bammm encore une meilleur !

[@numenoreanmonarchist]

Ce matin j'ai vu réapparaître L'immense soleil qui nous nourrit. Juillet s'en vient enfin Ainsi que ton sourire. Nous avons dormi toute une année, A présent réveillons nous, Allons recueillir l'ivresse Qui vogue dans l'air de l'été. Juillet s'en vient Notre ceur dégèle Je me sens si léger. This morning I saw it appear again This immense sun, it's nourishing warmth July is coming back, at last And so is your smile. We have been sleeping a whole year long Now, time has come to wake up, To soak up the exhilaration, Gently filling the summer air. July is coming back To warm up our hearts And I am feeling so light.

[@prophecyBC]

merci.

[@mojeanin]

This is pure beauty.

[@UlverEos]

still one of the best tracks ever made to this day

[@gabrielveliz99]

6:26 - (En Adelante) Mañanas De Verano Calurosas Donde Sales A Caminar Un Rato Y El Sol Te Pega Con Su Luz En Tus Ojos Y Sientes Ese Feeling De Inspiración Y Armonía... GRACIAS NEIGE POR TU MARAVILLOSA Y ETÉREA MÚSICA 💚

[@CualuoiVietNhat-ex3ow]

Remind me of the that beautiful summer. Best band ever!!!

[@arte0021]

People seem to be getting Type O Negative vibes but i thout this sounded more like the Smashing Pumpkins but more shoegazed

[@viniciusoliveira1987]

Same But reminds me Ride/MBV a lot too...

[@alessandromariani99]

True. Ethereal song.

[@dylancrijns1362]

Both are influences to Neige

[@CloudxOut]

yep, this definitely kinda remind me type 0 negative songs. Peter Steele would have such an appearance here. RIP!

[@CakeSolid]

Glad to see i wasn't the only one who got a TON vibe :)

[@clandestina6382]

Neige said that Zero introduced him into TON

[@platipuce8193]

It's fun that the official Alcest page on facebook shared this song today with a comment like "Strong Type O Negative and Smashing Pumpkins influences on this one" from Neige

[@suiciniv14]

It seems so much like to Can't lose you... idk... lol

[@mickeydeebassman]

what an amazing album!!!!! Such emotion...

[@lennartmielke3709]

Neige = God

[@RicardoEirado]

Foi uma surpresa fantástica descobrir Alcest. Melodias lindíssimas tiradas de mundos ainda mais belos...

[@Ailend166]

Wow, so beautiful!!!!!!

[@Rybos]

I remeber having this song on loop when my anxiety and intrusive thoughts were really bad and it helped.

[@martarg8020]

Best song ever after Peter Steele´s dead. Lots of feelings listening it.

[@paiz2chan]

I remember when they only had the rough, live version of this.. i was sooo happy once they recorded this song in the studio!

[@CarlosOliveira-jp3yx]

3:36 love when Alcest gets dark

[@sushandhusuju]

Lyrics Translation in Nepali (Hope someday, someone from Nepal finds this comment) ग्रीष्म गरिमा यो बिहान, मैले फेरी उदाउँदो देखें त्यो असिम सुर्य जुन हामीलाई भरण गर्दैछ। असार अन्तत: नजिकिंदैछ संगै तिम्रो मुस्कान पनि। हामी पुरै बर्ष निदायौं अब आऔं ब्युझौ, जाऔं ,सुखबोध वटुलौं ग्रीष्म हावामा बहदै। असार नजिकिंदैछ हाम्रो कक्रेको हृदय पगाल्दै, मलाई हलुको आभाष गराँउदै ।

[@prophecyBC]

Thank you, great!

[@marcoaurelioa.4394]

Type 0 Negative shoegazed = Magical!

[@ZaraHell666]

perfect for this moment

[@David93434]

this has just become my favourite band, this is even better than agalloch... just, wow. this kind of music transcends the senses, it speaks right into your soul, there are no words to describe such beauty....

[@zrinkamatezovic1535]

David Dias Agalloch hits me emotionally more than Alcest somehow, but this is very close :)

[@UlverEos]

pure bliss

[@AbsentProductions]

Listening to this whole album was amazing. I'd never heard of this band prior to several album reviewers here on KZbin mentioning it and reviewing it, and now I'm loving it.

[@Barbarella751]

Que mudança!!! Pure Shoegaze :D

[@b.entranceperium]

Hi. 2am here in the US. Locked down by our government and governments around the world. Who still feels Summer's Glory ?

[@prophecyBC]

We fell it ... and are with you. Stay safe.

[@b.entranceperium]

@@prophecyBC don't want to "stay safe". Want to live my life like a free individual and take the risks I'm supposed to take like normal...

[@PerroVoladorFreedom]

Sublime....

[@ignaciopexin22]

Neige nuevamente nos hace soñar con su nuevo material, musica unica en el mundo.

[@ANTHOB1990]

this is the most beautiful fucking tune ive ever heard

[@joebrogan2292]

Awesome.

[@alreadytakenthe3rd]

4:10 is breathtaking.

[@Wolf9185]

3:00 - 3:36 The most beautiful moment in the history of music.

[@RoninMidzu]

Kind of Positive, but sad too... love it

[@Obsidus]

Sitting here, glass of red wine in one hand, listening to Alcest, in my other hand I have Marcus Aurelius: The Meditations. Life is beautiful. To think of how many poor fucking people don't even get to enjoy a fair life, let alone the beauties of music, good food and literature. Heartbreaking. A toast to Neige, and to the poor souls whose destiny lead to less fortuitous destinies.

[@tomken3]

Magnifique

[@Kiewicz92]

This is my lifestory.

[@youstoletheinnocence]

Slowdive are amazing!

[@286411]

LOOOOOOOOOOVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE !!

[@sororsrca]

yesss

[@stinkaroony]

Check out the album Souvenirs d'un Autre Monde, specifically the tunes 'Printemps Emeraude' and 'Ciel Errant'. Soundtrack to my 2007 bro. God, he knows how to do it. And if you want to hear a harder side of Niege's work, check out his recently defunct (i believe) band Amesoeurs.

[@TBLLFIIRES]

Perfect x

[@greys1989]

That reverb just echoes in my my mind just before the heavy shit hits. In my opinion, perfect song..

[@1manymoonsago]

6:26 - 8:05.... heaven..

[@Barbarella751]

Hummmmm 4:11

[@AromaticDogwood]

As most people of my generation, Neige obviously spent a lot of time listening to Smashing Pumpkins while growing up in the mid 90's. I think this song as well as Ciel Errant especially exemplify this. I wonder if Billy Corgan has checked out Alcest yet.

[@JuarezsantossousaSousa]

maravilha....

[@viniciusoliveira1987]

Sounds like Ride (Nowhere album), a pretty piece of Shoegaze.

[@ejenplitobarces]

Not exactly like Ride, but Alcest may have been influenced by their early albums, the ones closer to shoegaze

[@inP4nic]

It hasent been out this album is from 2012 ;)

[@Marweinicus]

See you guys at Summerbreeze!

[@deathgrindfreak]

This is probably the best comment on youtube.

[@Goregrindofhell]

Nice song, once again i have to say i was never into shoegaze. i did not even know what this is. But this music seems to be great. ;)

[@martinnvillarreal]

nice touch ... enjoying life while insulting the rest who can't haha.

[@vesh666]

This song reminds me of the time I had to go to the bathroom real bad at Busch gardens. Now I every time I go to the bathroom, I think of that handicapped stall in the men's room that was soaking wet from all of the whale splash victims that sat on it before me. C'est la vie!

[@johnnyravenii5896]

Albeit the lyrics, I've always seen this song as a melancholic farewell to summer... to joy. Well, I guess there's always an end to the summer, for everyone. Hi, autumn, I don't want to bid you welcome, but.. hi. You're necessary, I guess. For us to be humans and all that shit. Hi.

[@nicotina.a]

♥

[@AzafreakSM]

@hoeq00 I think he just doubled his voice with another channel for the harmony (third or sixt)

[@b.entranceperium]

Dinosaur Jr/Foo Fighters meets Wolves in the Throne Room?

[@viniciusoliveira1987]

Not foo fighters, not a little. But much influence from Ride, MBV and Slowdive in this one...

[@tse499]

Checking out this british band SLOWDIVE...Anyone who doesn't know them should do it R I G H T N O W !!!!!!!!

[@MilkyHorrn]

1:45 😊

[@northaunt]

@DiegoKatabian nicely said

[@arsssis]

For some reason this reminds me of some of the old Blur songs from leisure. Regardless... very very good album. Not at all what i was expecting seeing the "album of the month" in this months Terrorizer but a pleasant surprise nonetheless

[@Ninjistic]

that fucking feel

[@DeadandDECAYED99]

WHAT IF PETER WAS STILL ALIVE AND PERFORMED GUEST VOCALS ON THIS SONG

[@MarysAbyss]

i wanna hear a punk band make cosmic music like this..... that would be fuckin sweet

[@xFuzzyxPicklesx]

look up a band called Nothing

[@theinsectsrequiem42069]

Emmanuel .Quinones OHHHH YESSS

[@matthewdarby3420]

Try Mogwai, Surface Rosa or swans.

[@InSuchSkull]

Typing with no hands = priceless.

[@necroplastful]

it's neige! :)

[@rodrigobreaks]

Why can't I like the start of this song?

[@hoeq00]

Autotuned at 2:40?

[@synthstatic9889]

@stormcorrosion I was trying to say "two people don't have a soul," in reference to the number of dislikes.

[@RoninMidzu]

great album overall , but this particular song is somewhat Type-o-Negative, which isn't a bad thing at all.

[@Seaknifed]

@Seaknifed Alcest *

[@Ares14]

Guitars at its heaviest sounds like Smashing Pumpkins if they were better lol

[@WeWantYouToStay]

Don't pretend Siamese Dream isn't a timeless classic. We likely wouldn't have Alcest without SP

[@DarkXxXJack]

@islespatrick Why?

[@efrax.gravityblaster.666]

Smashing Pumpkins...

[@Guitarlife17]

my dad says the same thing

[@stormcorrosion]

@synthstatic Huh?

[@paniccat]

This is my least favorite album by Alcest, but probably one of my favorite songs. Alcest is glorious.

[@NathansWargames]

I'm sure shelter has taken that spot by now.

[@MrThevictorpaulo]

that`s naige's favorite band :)

[@snowofthenorth]

You forgot about 3:36 - 4:04 ;-)

[@Cyberdeath1974]

hmmmmm like Type o Negative

[@northaunt]

@giorvasis deafness

[@arpandas5668]

This song can make you learn French.
