Retrospective Lyncelia, article #2: “Lovelorn”

En ce mois de Février pour ce deuxième article de cette retrospective concernant Lyncelia, j’ai choisi de mettre en lumière le titre “Lovelorn” issu du premier album.

…My Beloved, Lost Forever…

Ce titre est basé sur le mythe d’Orphée qui après avoir perdu sa bien-aimée Eurydice va braver l’inconnu et la mort pour la retrouver. Une fois cette quête accomplie il devait la guider jusqu’à la sortie du royaume des ombres sans se retourner. En proie au doute, il se retourna, il vu que sa bien-aimée était bien derrière lui mais celle-ci lui est désormais enlevée et il perdu son amour pour une seconde fois et pour l’éternité.

Le texte est un des premiers que j’ai écrit pour Lyncelia et pose les bases de mon écritures, à savoir des phrases par moment indépendantes, très imagées et ancrées dans la description de sensations qui forment un ensemble homogène qui met en lumière des idées et des phrases fortes. Le thème est également un de mes thèmes favoris à savoir la recherche de l’amour perdu.

Cette chanson (écrite en juillet 2008) est un peu spéciale et “à part” dans l’ensemble de la discographie de Lyncelia, c’est un titre qui ne présente aucune parties de guitares, tout à été joué à la basse. Bien sûr on retrouve les deux parties distinctes et complémentaires qui restent ma marque de fabrique avec une partie rythmique et une partie mélodique. La batterie présente des sons de type TR909 avec beaucoup de reverb et un effet flanger sur celle-ci pour avoir une sonorité dans le style du titre “Faith” de The Cure qui constituait, à l’époque, une influence essentielle dans la conception du son Lyncelia.

…à suivre…

 

Lyncelia 10 Years, article #2: “Lovelorn”

On this month of February for this 2nd article of this Lyncelia retrospective, I choose to enlighten the song “Lovelorn” from the first album.

…My Beloved, Lost Forever…

This song is based on the myth of Orpheus. After losing his beloved Eurydice, Orpheus will dare and defy death to get back to her. Once he completed this quest he should guide her through the kingdom of shadows without looking back on her. Doubting he looked back, he saw his beloved behind him but she was taken and Orpheus lost his love for the second time and for eternity.

The lyrics is one of the very first I wrote for Lyncelia and put the start of my writing, some independent sentences, very imaged and marked on the description of sensations. It forms a text that enlighten strong ideas and strong sentences. The topic is one of my favourite, the search of the lost love.

This song (written in July 2008) is special in Lyncelia discography cause there is no guitar parts, all was played on bass. Of course there is two distinct parts that represents my trademark with a rythm part and a melodic part. The drums features TR909-like sounds with lots of Reverb and Flanger effect on it to get a sound in the style of “Faith” from The Cure that was, at this time, an essential influence in the conception of the Lyncelia sound.

…To be continued…

Une décennie de Lyncelia

Cette année 2018 célèbre les 10 ans de Lyncelia.

Pour célébrer cette décennie de musique, de passion et de partage avec vous, j’ouvre une nouvelle catégorie d’articles où je vous raconterai des moments importants, des chansons, photos, videos ou autres, qui ont fait l’histoire et la vie de Lyncelia et permis à ce projet d’aller plus loin.

En septembre, je publierai une compilation en forme de best-of des 3 albums agrémentée de reprises, de démos ou autres venant de mes archives personnelles.

Donc, j’ouvre cette célébration avec le titre “Assigna” de l’album “Lovelorn” (2010).

Cette chanson fait partie des titres que j’ai composés juste avant de créer Lyncelia. “Assigna” m’a permis de trouver le “style Lyncelia” et de me rendre compte que la ColdWave et la musique Gothique faisait partie de moi.

Cette chanson m’a aussi permis de savoir que Lyncelia n’est pas que de la musique mais un moyen d’exprimer ce que je ressent au plus profond de moi et que c’est aussi une sorte de développement spirituel et personnel qui jalonne ma vie et me donne de l’énergie pour aller de l’avant chaque jour.

10 Years Celebration

This 2018 year celebrate the 10 years of Lyncelia.

To celebrate this decade of music and passion, I open a new topic category where I will tell you some important moments, songs, pictures, videos or whatever else that make the history and life of Lyncelia and allowed this project to go further.

In september I will release a compilation of the three albums and I will add some covers and demos of songs from my personal archives.

So, I open this celebration with the song “Assigna” from the album “Lovelorn” (2010).

This song is part of the few songs I wrote just before the creation of Lyncelia.
“Assigna” allowed me to find and tune the “Lyncelia style” and find my way in ColdWave/Gothic music and told me that this music is a real part of me.

This song allowed me to find that Lyncelia is not just music but a way to express what I feel deep inside and is also a sort of spiritual and personal development that marks what I live and give me strength every day.
