Have to admit I only got into them recently but I was blown away by suvonirs and this album is shaping up so well. They really do deserve some massive exposure.
LYRICS I'm so scared of living my life in vain I'm always always craving for better vibes My hands are rough, my soul is heavy... But they've always held me down When my whole life was going south The three last years might have changed my life forever Now I just wanna break free from these towering walls To get this grey out of my mind (Just once and for all) 'Cause when I'm here alone with the silence, I can't feel whole No, I can't feel whole You know The road has always been the same But the world is changing I am lost Lost amongst the days I'm living I'm dreaming of a brighter way I've placed my heart on an altar Have set my soul ablaze In hope to save me from myself Oh you know we may walk under different welkins But when I'm drowning in your eyes I can feel that I am not alone anymore With the stranger That I see into the mirror Not alone with my fucking pain, again So don't let me... Don't let me think my life is vain; I'm so far from seeing the life through their heart shaped glasses I'm always always craving for better vibes 'Cause the world is mad, the world is crazy And it keeps bringing me down Each day my life keeps going south The three last years might have changed my life forever Now I just wanna break free from these towering walls To get this grey out of my mind (Just once for all) 'Cause when I'm here alone with the silence, I can't feel whole Show me the fire, ignite me I'm feeling so cold I wanna know why I'm aching Look in my eyes, tell me what you see I'm feeling so numb I need a sign to keep on fighting I need a sign to keep on fighting Don't let me live my life in vain I need a sign to keep on fighting Don't let me live my life in vain Don't let me think my life is vain
Novelists is one band that keeps me impressed after every release. Matt's vocals is getting better and better, the instrumentals keep evolving. Definitely one of the best in the scene now.
I'm so scared of living my life in vain.I'm always always craving for better vibes.

I'm always talking about Novelists when someone ask's me about trying out a new band. Such an underrated band with way too much potential to go unnoticed. This band will be on the uprise very soon. ❤️
It's always difficult for a band to release an album as good as their previous masterpiece but I have no doubt that Novelists are onto another masterpiece with this album!
The end of the song, around 4 min til the end is fucking epic, darker and heavier than the rest of the song, I love this part, I hope they will do more things like this !
This album is their best so far. Matteo's voice has continued to get better, and the music has evolved into a really perfect blend of melodic and heavy.
They're already going places :D They just finished touring with Northlane, While She Sleeps, and SHVPES - touring with Northlane (probably the biggest Australian band in the Metalcore scene) and they've only released one album so far? I've loved Novelists since just before they dropped Souvenirs, but this will make them legendary and unforgettable for a long, long time - probably the best metal band to come out of France
Give these guys the advertising they deserve!!... More people need to drop what they are doing and listen to this. Radio, Music apps, Billboards, Gigs, TH-cam the entire band so we can get to know em more. This band is growing in directions I didnt even know existed.
Honestly one of the greatest bands to come out in years. His voice, the guitar work, gives me goosebumps non stop. I love how music does that to me. Beautiful. ❤️
I don't normally listen to this specific type of metal but this is awesome. The whole lead/rhythm guitar arrangement along with the clean vocals sounds sick.
I first heard of novelists a couple years ago because of a call of duty video. the song was antares. I IMMEDIATELY fell in love and I've been listening ever since. Anytime asks for a new song to listen, I send them a novelists song. I'm so excited for the new album. I'm loving what I'm hearing so far.

I waited so long to hear the new music and now it's here!!! you guys are so inspirational and I believe you will be one of the top bands....every song you guys make is so in detail and moving....repeat your songs on the daily and help me get through the day thanks a bunch!
love the blend of clean and unclean vocals. the generic screamed verse and clean chorus feels so ham-fisted these days so I like the dynamics you guys use to give it flavour!
through the years ive heard many bands, they climax and fall and become inconsistent....but Novelists are always progressing and getting better against all odds and ages. as Ghost Iris rightly said, Novelists is King.
I shall only download a copy via my secret peg legged internet connection. Some days my reception is better when the hooks I have as hands picks up a random signal through the air. Other days the reception is nowhere to be found so I have this feeling that my shipmates and crew are stealing my pirating abilities and planning a mutiny. Thank god for this typing ability I possess despite having hooks for hands. At least I still have me ears.. so I shall forever steal music like the pirate I am and ye shall not try to stop me. P.S Don't forget to walk the plank on your way out sailors. Thanks for listening to my pirate story, however this story is not true and is just a made up story. I will in fact be buying the album so as always you should buy and support the artists whenever you have the chances to do so. Novelists, you have my vote.
It absolutely blows my mind how much this band is slept on and gets so little recognition, their album Souvenirs was a masterpiece.
Your Average Guy truly
Your Average Guy you nailed it on the head that album was fucking gold
Your Average Guy masterpiece still doesn't even cover how much of an amazing album that was 🤘🏼
Your Average Guy I totally agree noone ever knows this band when I say novelists but souvenirs was literally amazing from start to finish
@S&L Games....don't forget, betraying the martyrs, Gojira and shoot the girl first are all French and they get attention🤔
Novelists never disappoints
Let me guess...
Will this be covered?
Just because you asked so nicely
Never had one bad tune yet
i miss the old novelists. these older songs are their bestest.
their prime..
Best most underrated band out
Have to admit I only got into them recently but I was blown away by suvonirs and this album is shaping up so well. They really do deserve some massive exposure.
Currents is, but thanks for your input.
objective33 yes sir
When new album coming out that situation will change. Trust my word.
i said that last album
LYRICS
I'm so scared of living my life in vain
I'm always always craving for better vibes
My hands are rough, my soul is heavy...
But they've always held me down
When my whole life was going south
The three last years might have changed my life forever
Now I just wanna break free from these towering walls
To get this grey out of my mind
(Just once and for all)
'Cause when I'm here alone with the silence, I can't feel whole
No, I can't feel whole
You know
The road has always been the same
But the world is changing
I am lost
Lost amongst the days I'm living
I'm dreaming of a brighter way
I've placed my heart on an altar
Have set my soul ablaze
In hope to save me from myself
Oh you know we may walk under different welkins
But when I'm drowning in your eyes
I can feel that I am not alone anymore
With the stranger
That I see into the mirror
Not alone with my fucking pain, again
So don't let me...
Don't let me think my life is vain;
I'm so far from seeing the life through their heart shaped glasses
I'm always always craving for better vibes
'Cause the world is mad, the world is crazy
And it keeps bringing me down
Each day my life keeps going south
The three last years might have changed my life forever
Now I just wanna break free from these towering walls
To get this grey out of my mind
(Just once for all)
'Cause when I'm here alone with the silence, I can't feel whole
Show me the fire, ignite me
I'm feeling so cold
I wanna know why I'm aching
Look in my eyes, tell me what you see
I'm feeling so numb
I need a sign to keep on fighting
I need a sign to keep on fighting
Don't let me live my life in vain
I need a sign to keep on fighting
Don't let me live my life in vain
Don't let me think my life is vain
You rock dude
bless you
This band imo is one of the best in the genre to exist. Referencing the other comments they are for sure slept on. With Matteo of course.
Novelists is one band that keeps me impressed after every release. Matt's vocals is getting better and better, the instrumentals keep evolving. Definitely one of the best in the scene now.
This song is perfect for a 70 degree, sunny, no clouds kind of day, cruising through the city.
I literally thought the same thing lol
It's got an adventurous vibe to it.
You know when someone asks "name a band that haven't put out a bad song?"
Novelists every time.
and betraying the martyrs
+OCEANIDE.BAND I,A is so fuckin consistent. can't wait for new stuff.
Spooge McGuffin and 'a call to sincerity' pretty much same band haha minus the name and maybe a member
Actually different songwriters in Novelists, so it's a total different band :)
for me its breaking benjamin
The name Novelists is going to soon be much more known throughout the metal scene. Solid track. Can't wait for this to drop in September!
Ooow me liikkyy😮
2:46 I could listen this riff for hours, soooo goooood
My goodness... Souvenirs is a masterpiece, but this is simply otherworldly. I love the direction you guys are going. That melody! So amazing!
I'm so scared of living my life in vain.I'm always always craving for better vibes. My hands are rough, my soul is heavy...But they've always held me down,When my whole life was going south.The three last years might have changed my life forever.Now I just wanna break free from these towering walls,To get this grey out of my mind (Just once for all),‘Cause when I'm here alone with the silence, I can’t feel whole.

Love the dramatic turn it takes starting 3:52
yeeeeeees best part!!!!!!
a US tour would be cool anytime now my dudes.
I'm always talking about Novelists when someone ask's me about trying out a new band. Such an underrated band with way too much potential to go unnoticed. This band will be on the uprise very soon. ❤️
Ahhh those tasty Novelists riffs 👌
1:27 The harmony here continually blows my mind.
I'm about to preorder this album. I love when they tease us with the heavy riffs, the end of this song is nutty.
The amount of growth in these guys is just fantastic. True novelists, always weaving something breathtaking.
Oh and Matt, your vocals are perfect.
It's always difficult for a band to release an album as good as their previous masterpiece but I have no doubt that Novelists are onto another masterpiece with this album!
The end of the song, around 4 min til the end is fucking epic, darker and heavier than the rest of the song, I love this part, I hope they will do more things like this !
The same way as always: I clicked, I listened, I loved.
Long live guys, truly.
Greetings from Istanbul.
I'll never, ever get tired of that intro riff. Or of the entire song, honestly.
Encore une fois, ça poutre. Bien ouej les gars !!!!!
That voice voice gave me chills. He sounded like a heavy metal Josh Groban.
Omg!! I thought the same thing!!!
7 people dislike this song for assumedly legitimate reasons and I respect their right to express such a sentiment having been given the opprtunity
SPAN GUN good one
Such a very beautiful song
Spawning a new wave of French melodic metal right here.
This album is their best so far. Matteo's voice has continued to get better, and the music has evolved into a really perfect blend of melodic and heavy.
If they keep this up they'll go places
They're already going places :D They just finished touring with Northlane, While She Sleeps, and SHVPES - touring with Northlane (probably the biggest Australian band in the Metalcore scene) and they've only released one album so far? I've loved Novelists since just before they dropped Souvenirs, but this will make them legendary and unforgettable for a long, long time - probably the best metal band to come out of France
They keep growing on me, quickly becoming one of my favorites
This is the only diner band I like and I'm glad they are just getting better :)
Give these guys the advertising they deserve!!... More people need to drop what they are doing and listen to this. Radio, Music apps, Billboards, Gigs, TH-cam the entire band so we can get to know em more. This band is growing in directions I didnt even know existed.
Honestly one of the greatest bands to come out in years. His voice, the guitar work, gives me goosebumps non stop. I love how music does that to me. Beautiful. ❤️
Ikr! Sucks that their old vocalist left the band tho :/ he was amazing
I don't normally listen to this specific type of metal but this is awesome. The whole lead/rhythm guitar arrangement along with the clean vocals sounds sick.
This is a band that you can just keep playing, their songs never get old !
I first heard of novelists a couple years ago because of a call of duty video. the song was antares. I IMMEDIATELY fell in love and I've been listening ever since. Anytime asks for a new song to listen, I send them a novelists song.
I'm so excited for the new album. I'm loving what I'm hearing so far.
When a great song comes out and nobody knows the name of the band, you know it's NOVELISTS.
I'm so scared of living my life in vain

Don't let me think my life is vain
Who done bamboozled this mix? Hiding all those tasty riffs.
I waited so long to hear the new music and now it's here!!! you guys are so inspirational and I believe you will be one of the top bands....every song you guys make is so in detail and moving....repeat your songs on the daily and help me get through the day thanks a bunch!
I again woke up at 5 AM randomly and find that this was uploaded.... I love this band and I can't fucking wait for their new album!!!
Dude stop waking up so early it's unhealthy haha
Appreciate the love though
Trma_dM did you listen to it at 5:12 am?
NovelistsMusic When you guys put out new music, its hard not to stay WOKE
Michael Aylor Someone asked me when The Light, The Fire dropped lol but sadly no I didn't
noir is gold .....
I swear matt's clean vocal harmonies give me the chills.. 1:03
One of the best guitar riffs I've ever heard.
Best band ever.
Best song of this album
Singer leaving 🥺🥺🥺
I am so sad
His voice is absolutely heaven
One of the best albums I have heard in a VERY long time.
Yeah merci les gars vous faites honneur à la France pour un groupe français sa fait plaisir !😍😍💖💪🔥
what a song! clean guitars and heavy stuff harmonic perfect, pretty good vocals !
I really hope these guys get some more recognition. I don't want to see them phase out.
Discovering new music to love is so much fun 😁❤️
love the blend of clean and unclean vocals. the generic screamed verse and clean chorus feels so ham-fisted these days so I like the dynamics you guys use to give it flavour!
Man I really don't want to forget about this release this is pretty good
This may be shaping up to be my favorite album of 2017. Absolutely incredible
When 1:31 hits is when I start floating
through the years ive heard many bands, they climax and fall and become inconsistent....but Novelists are always progressing and getting better against all odds and ages. as Ghost Iris rightly said, Novelists is King.
Vocals melted my soul. What a piece of art
Straight fire, im doing my best to spread this bands name around Australia
The guitars , everytime !
Machen den Sound, den man einfach gerne hat.....super!!!!
I will be buying this album, no doubt.
This song is ridiculously dope!
Leave it to a French band to teach me English! I had to look Welkins up.
I shall only download a copy via my secret peg legged internet connection. Some days my reception is better when the hooks I have as hands picks up a random signal through the air. Other days the reception is nowhere to be found so I have this feeling that my shipmates and crew are stealing my pirating abilities and planning a mutiny.

Found a cover of this on Instagram. Never heard of Novelists... holy shit, no regrets. I'm in love
Can`t wait to hold the new album in my hands! Thanks for great music...
Absolute lads.
This band sounds like Periphery x Killswitch Engage. You guys just earned yourselves a new fan :D Je T'aime!
Every f#@king #Novelist song is EPIC. They still keep that Novelist vibe,.......and contiue better with every song
Such a perfect band.
Yay new song ... So stocked
Banging out of Texas
Novelists have my heart!!! 🇲🇽
That sounds very nice, still hitting the same nerve as the previous album but you can definitely tell that they evolved
The beautifull sound
This is beautiful. Keep up the good work boys, 2 horns up!
wow.... songwriting at 4:00.... boah, thumb up, hands up
C'est du lourd comme Aznavour ! ^^
Loving this. Can't wait to listen to the rest of the album!
This song is amazing.
Loving the official video 👍
I love these guys.
This song is somehow ever so slightly "anime intro" but in the good way. Like I almost feel Sithu Aye was involved.
Proud of my country when I hear this :p #France
yeah thats true, french people are great musicians !! but they suck at gaming :D :D :D
T'as raison mec. On a de bon zikos en France.
Congratulations for FIFA championship 2018 !!! #France
It’s got a volumes vibe.
TRUE lol
Just amazing to see how far you guys have come! Always delivering absolute masterpieces \m/ brilliant song guys!
Always good
Cant wait for this upcoming album. Beautiful.
Awesome song!
Great stuff!
Agora sim! 😍 Vou hibernar até o dia 8 de setembro
Cara.. Entendo completamente rsrs a the light the fire nao sai da minha cabeça, canto ao menos uma vez por dia
Amazing!
Need to see these guys live pretty bad
I still feel the same 5 years later. Never gets old 🤙
novelists as always on top
Just realized how close the album is to dropping. Fuck yeah man.
So catchy!
