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...
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.
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 !
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.
@@phantom_wolf5274 I've heard that opinion a lot, but imo those screams are some of the most beautiful and haunting things I've ever heard. I feel like I can hear the entire universe in his voice.
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.
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.
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. ❤️
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.

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.
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.
I saw a c0mment a while ago of someone saying this song was like a metalhead found a cure and I think it's the best description possible. This song portraits darkness and light at the same time with the desire of rising and to heaven and how the power and peace fulfill the soul
Fantastique ! L'univers musical d'Alcest m'évoque tellement d'histoires merveilleuses ou tragiques... Fantastic ! The musical world of Alcest inspires me so many wonderful or tragic stories...
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

there is no way, a band "should sound like". It's on their own, what music they want to produce. You're exactly this type of conservative fan, which every good progressive band is suffering from.
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
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.
C'est quasi ça sauf le début, il parle pas de "riding", il est à côté de l'onde. Du coup c'est plus "Near the water, the intense heat of the sun makes me drunk"
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.
Non French-speaking people, just know it: if you learn French or want to learn French, that's not as complicated as you may think ♥ Just be attentive and you will love it ♥ xx
No words to express what I feel when I listen to Alcest..
My thoughts Exacally
Ineffability is sacred and beautiful... and yet we need to use words to communicate it...
Still hits
Ironically, you just perfectly described it with words
That's forteen words bro

Relatable.

Très belle histoire !!

I can't live without this song, I listen to it multiple times a day. Hope I won't go deaf sometimes in my life because this song is my oxygen
If i get deaf one day, at least i listened to what i wanted
The way i wanted
By that time, deafness couldn’t beat your brain anymore. 😎
You don’t need ears to hear
Neige's shrieks are the fucking best in the game seriously his screams are so emotional and harsh at the same time
Seriously he has the best screams in metal
It ruins an otherwise great song imo
@@phantom_wolf5274 I've heard that opinion a lot, but imo those screams are some of the most beautiful and haunting things I've ever heard. I feel like I can hear the entire universe in his voice.
@@phantom_wolf5274 I get it, It's different, and many people don't like a change from the norm. I wouldn't like the song as much without them.
El mejor album de alcest para mi
Can a song be so beautiful? just magnific
This whole album is just amazing. I've heard it many times but I love it more with each listen
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.
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 miss the concerts because of the feel Pretty Feckin Much...
Saw them live today for their Ecailled de Luné anniversary tour and the feeling of seeing and hearing this life was more than incredible
@@yuna6705Frankfurt? Incredible gig!
Am I the only one who absolutely loves the 2:44-3:21 part?
Best Alcest's song ever❤
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.
whouaaouuu :)

it brings tears to my eyes....
Alcest is just gorgeous in general :')
that riff ...
Yeah just wonderful and when the voice starts at 4:53 ... Oh no, I jizz in my pants again
I found today this EPIC song and hearing it for the first time, i thought the same thing.

well blacgaze is kinda 15 years old

Youre an enormous filthy pussy, signed off a die hard Alcest fan. You fucking pussy,
@@phetmanonline jesus, just chill out man
@@phetmanonline The fuck is wrong with you? Seek help buddy.
@@phetmanonline typical "pavel" mentality
Sounds like a hopeful love song to me.
Ridiculously beautiful. 4:14 pure epicness....
🙌🏻
They give me the same feelings as Woods Of Ypres does . Strange that dark depressing music brings you joy? Yes ...it does 🤘✌️
Haven't heard this song in years. Feels good to be back again.
Come back again
I saw a c0mment a while ago of someone saying this song was like a metalhead found a cure and I think it's the best description possible. This song portraits darkness and light at the same time with the desire of rising and to heaven and how the power and peace fulfill the soul
Exactly
this song makes me feel a whole new emotion
i like it
you are welcome
1:13 vocals with the riff sound like the sunlight is killing a darkness monster
Best song ever,fucking beautiful,beautiful!!!!
Its not Black Metal... it's not music... It's something more than this...
Its post-music lol
it's definitely music yall
a tip: you can watch movies on Kaldrostream. Been using them for watching lots of of movies during the lockdown.
@Jeremias Patrick Yea, been using kaldrostream for since december myself =)
@Jeremias Patrick definitely, I've been using Kaldrostream for months myself :D
Fantastique ! L'univers musical d'Alcest m'évoque tellement d'histoires merveilleuses ou tragiques...

Daniel soriano Eustaquio Berriochoa
Just saw these guys this past Jan and Feb in St. Louis and Nasville on their USA tour. No other music has given me such an amazing feeling...
This is the best one on the album. I've decided that after listening to this album since I was in highschool lol. I'm 24 now.
I need to listen to this song every night before sleep,it's fucking beautiful
This track was one of a few firsts I'd tried from Alcest, almost a decade ago.
Still gold! ;)
Alcest é surreal, banda magnífica 💯🥋🖤
vocals on this one are beyond epic \m/
Best song ever made.
THE VOICE REMINDS ME IHSAHN, THE ARRANGEMENT IS LIKE ANATHEMA. THIS IS GREAT!
It is!
it is like a blackmetaller discovered the cure
noiseklinik or slowdive
@@edgarallanhoe-w2s Slowdive is Neiges favorite band, so pretty much haha
Same feeling
blackmetaller who regretted playing the same thing without creativity
@@r1c4d0c.2 stufu
His voice is beautiful
I miss this side of alcest in the Shelter album, it just doesn't feel complete without the black metal element.
+silentbron totally igree!!! alcest is not the same without the gurtural voices...
the album is good but yea it isn't complete without black metal atmosphere
+Antonio Campos (null) And? ^^
Emix L the new album will bring back the black metal elements
Neige saw your comments :D
perfect song! 💟
It is an very espcially Sound. Awsome and with no other band comparable!!! Thänxe from good old Germany!
All Alcest's songs are great. I prefer Souvenirs d'autre monde,the fairy side of then,but this is the black inside that. Amazing.
caduu essa é sua msc preferida e eu perdi teu dircordkkk
Awesome song. Bring to me a lot of memories
Una delle canzoni più belle che abbia mai sentito.
This song is so Awesome.... Amazing..... I don't know what to say....
thanks
Essa musica marcou minha vida. Minha primeira viagem com alucinogenos foi ao som dessa obra. inesquecivel, inexplicável e indescritível.
Gorgeous! Howling In the Fog does an amazing cover of this too
Thank you!

France is an otherworldly place. Has everything you can dream of. Go there and prepare to lose yourself. Alcest is very lovely.
De mis canciones favoritas de Alcest
exactly the way ALCEST should sound like.
i hope the new album has some of these elements
there is no way, a band "should sound like". It's on their own, what music they want to produce. You're exactly this type of conservative fan, which every good progressive band is suffering from.

I SIMPLY TELL MY OPINION WHICH OF COURSE IS NOT TO BE FOLLOWED BY ANYONE ELSE.
HAVE A NIC SUMMER FRIEND
and they did! harsh vocals on new album and more elements! go check it friend it is mind-blowing, they are back doing blackgaze!!!!
What's wrong with wanting a certain type of sound?
This is definitely the best sounding Alcest.
With great regrett, after this song, I go to bed. But I shall sleep better than well.
To me it isn't that sad, it's like a cold light in the dark ! :)
Thats exactly what the title of the song means lol, in french ''Percées De Lumière'' translates directly to "Breakthrough of Light"
This is not sad at all, who has said this is sad?
Oh yeah right you're the only one that understood the title. 😂
beautiful band beautiful. sound and vokal we see Turkey again
I'm loving music ➕🔥➕
Essa música me salvou.
no me digas jaja
es bien
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.
C'est quasi ça sauf le début, il parle pas de "riding", il est à côté de l'onde. Du coup c'est plus "Near the water, the intense heat of the sun makes me drunk"
oh thank you so much the lyrics is 🖤
I thought it said my inhuman soul (mon âme non-humaine) 🤔 in the last line
It is realy top song of Alcest
My song 4ever
Alcest restored my faith on modern metal
Pure music pure beauty
I wish it were possible to like this video more than once
Amazing sound ❤️🔥
Tip for good sound if you use a equalizer, put your treble high. The frequencies between 4K and 16K Hz.
Beautiful song!
Thanks!
I love it so much ❤️❤️❤️❤️😭😭
This and Eclosion, I love the sound. Any other of their songs that has that beautiful screaming voice?
Kodama
Oiseaux de proie
Fantastic Sound. Looking forward to see you guys tomorrow.
@ 4:15 feels like you are in a cyberpunk movie chasing bad guys while there is a heavy storm out there
Blade Runner?
This was so awesome last night in Bruges🤘🇧🇪
These guys put on a great show.
Sera mi mejor musica siempre
Muy bueno, muy parecido el estilo a "Opeth"...
😂
pls reupload in 1080p this amazing song
his voice reminds me of Varg......instantly
I bet he was an inspiration to the black metal influence on Alcest.
Alcest best song?
Can someone tell what does he speak in the chorus? The clean vocals part. 02:44. Never found the lyrics for this part.
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.
Anyway Neige said he was using the voice as an instrument, to transmit emotions and feelings rather than to bring a message, a meaning to his songs
thank you
Я влюбился в эту песню💔 слишком ох**нно
Where have I heard that riff before???
May be the cure ?
@@erickjhones3562 which song??
