The Boy Who I'll See Again | Caroline Polachek x MAKE Beauty

Taking the classical Greek myth of Endymion as inspiration, singer songwriter Caroline Polachek of pop duo Chairlift transports us through a meditative choral lament as the moon goddess Selene in an original music collaboration for MAKE Beauty. The story tells of her infatuation with the handsome young shepherd and her request that Zeus make him forever beautiful. Zeus grants her wish, but with a tragic twist, putting him into eternal sleep.
Known for her experimental solo performances as Ramona Lisa, she brings her highly personal and unquestionably inspired talent to this haunting, lyrical piece: an elegy to the immortalised youth, Endymion, with a special appearance by her newly wed husband, Ian Drennan. The video is directed by Adam McClelland.
Drawing on themes of light, immortality, beauty and death, this exclusive video launches alongside MAKE's new Moonlight Brightening Serum as part of the Naxos Concept Collection.
Lyrics:
Fast asleep
Oh are you finally sick of me
Coming to visit every night
Always in the same pale light
Drawing dew on your eyelids now
Shining on your marble brow
Captive of this curse or charm
'Til I leave you alone at dawn
Dreaming of tomorrow
There’s the boy who I know
There’s the boy who I love
And there’s the boy who I’ll see again
How I dread
That this repose is a sort of death
Beckoning as a void in the world
Opposite of a moon or pearl
Lovelier for all this
There’s the boy who I know
There’s the boy who I love
And there’s the boy who I’ll see again
Full and overflowing glass
I recall how your eyes did shine
And beg you not to seal them yet...
