this song makes me cry since my husband died i been feeling so sad inside of me, cause we love alcest and the last concert we went, were alcest, i really miss you torstein whatever you are, wait for me, i love you with my whole heart and after all, .... i'm trying my best to keep forward as you wanted, but i can't, i love you, and rest in peace... we will be together someday... 3 years later and I still cannot let you go...

Does anyone else want to cry because of how beautiful this is?

This is quite possibly one of the most beautiful songs ever written. This is the language of the soul, transcending the physical realm.

Original (French): Une prière lointaine que porte le vent du soir Anime les feuilles dans leur danse alanguie. C'est le chant des vieux arbres entonné pour toi, Pour ces bois obscurs maintenant endormis. Sans nous attendre tant de saisons ont passé; Les feuilles dorées s'en allant mourir à terre Renaîtront un jour sous un ciel radieux, Mais notre monde érodé restera le même Et demain toi et moi serons partis. English: A distant prayer that carries the evening wind Enlivens leaves in their languid dance. It's the song of the old trees, sung for you, For the shrouded woods remain asleep. So many seasons have passed without waiting for us; The golden leaves perish on the ground They will be reborn under a radiant sky, As this weatherworn world remains the same And tomorrow, you and I will be gone.

Whoever doesn't like this - doesn't like beauty in music. Simply like that.

I don't need to understand the words to this song to absolutely love it!

lets all agree to call this genre "alcest"

the feeling this gives goes behind human comprehension, it's impossible to explain with words. just wow

A faraway prayer carried by the evening wind Animates the leaves in their languorous dance It's the hymn of the old trees, sung for you For those somber forests which are now asleep So many seasons have passed without waiting for us The golden leaves falling to the ground to die Will someday come back to life beneath a radiant sky But our eroded world will remain the same And tomorrow, you and I will be gone And tomorrow, you and I will be gone And tomorrow, you and I will be gone

This is transcendental.

This intro is just like a sweet dream that i never wanna wake up from... Alcest you're indescribably beautiful..

Alcest's music seems to have this ability to amplify whatever emotion I may have at any particular moment. This awesome song is a great example of that.

This is an experience, just close your eyes and enjoy the ride

This song is rediculusly beautiful to me even though I don't understand a word

This is the most beautiful song I have heard in a long, long time. There is plenty of badass, brutal, awesome metal out there. But truly beautiful metal is rare.

Just can't stop coming back to this beautiful song.... It makes me sad in a good way!...

So beautiful. I stare at the empty space with glory as I am millions of thoughts at once.

one word: magical

Every time I'm in love with someone, I start to listen this song frequently.

I feel at peace listening to this

This song feeds my soul.

Utterly beautiful song.

magnifique album, je suis surpris qu'il n'y ai pas de commentaire en français, bonne rêverie

I loved someone once, so deep that I used to imagine a life together. The love that I had felt so beautiful, it felt so ethereal. However the person I loved so dearly taught me that life was going to be hard to me, which it was. I traveled, met new people, went to the busiest cities bursting with life. Even in a crowd I always felt alone, but that love that was left inside me never died. Years later I realized that love was something else. It was the song of my soul. I never stopped loving, for I love everything in this world. I love the beautiful blue skies, the fresh dew on roses. I love earth's creatures and her fruits. I love the light. Love is you, and love is me. and above all, I love Alcest. 🤍

What a gift to have this song find you on the day you got your heart broken.

One of the most brilliant composers of our time. Nothin compares to the feeling you get from listening to Alcest. Can't really describe what that is, but it just stirs up emotions

How am I just now hearing about Alcest? And my god, Neige has one of the most beautiful voices I've heard in years. So soothing.

this intro.. oh my god

Just pure perfection from the opening note until the last 🖤🖤🖤🖤

Ma chanson préférée 😊 ce fut un réel plaisir de voir Alcest au Bataclan à Paris le Mercredi 04 Octobre 2017. Cette chanson en live j'en ai pleurer de joie ❤️

Neige voice is beautiful. The song is beautiful

my favorite song by them and one of my most favorite in general

«Et demain toi et moi serons partis»...

this song is just outstanding, can't get tired of it, calms down my soul :-)

!!!Uffff, mi alma vuela lejos....cielos azules y edificios de cristal...Amor pleno!!!

I love the sentimentality of the music video, unless I am much mistaken its a boy and the girl he loves growing up (and then) old together, one of the oldest and most beloved stories of all time.

I don't care one bit for genre labels, all I know is that this song is beyond beautiful and it is getting me through some very hard uni work.

Cant belive my band is opening for Alcest on their show this saturday :'D

Why does this song make me cry tears of joy?

It doesn't matter what mood I'm in. Whether I'm sad, full of joy, broken, or just at a peace.. This song goes with it. It reflects every and any mood I'm in.. And it's so powerful and real. Thank you Alcest, for always being there.

I don't know why, but I cry every time I listen to this song. Maybe because my future wife showed me this song the day we met, and makes me think about how beautiful life can be. Guys, you did an awesome song

this song resonates with my soul

I remember in 2015, being on Magic Mushrooms, listening to this song and feeling that it is like a heroic anthem about defying our impermanence, and finding the most exquisite beauty in a world which will move on, with or without us.

The intro thats added is so beautiful..... I almost never want to listen to the single version ever again...

This is so fucking beautiful. I could listen to this all day

NEIGE MAKES ME FEEL IN MY HOME.

Dark, melancholic but somehow it's soothing and reassuring and it's taming the inside when you feel down.

Emotions just Implode.. Listening to this..

I feel as though if the world were to just end everything would be just fine and everyone would be lifted in their own world of celestial prosperity and eternal happiness

Greetings from Poland :-)

Masterpiece! That’s really a beautiful song, I’m glad that I found it.

One of the few blackhaze bands that really manages to capture this pure melodic bliss.

Beautiful.

I LOVE this song ever since I first heard it in 2013/2014. Since then I have suggested it to a lot of people from various genres and received like 90% positive feedback. Even from people who would not in a 1000years listen to anything remotely metal :-) A good song is a good song I guess...

I could listen to that opening riff for hours.

too good for words

just close your eyes, and you are free !!!

Unbelivable beauty! I think Alcest and Trees of Eternity are the two most "magical" bands i ever heard.

Ce morceau a des relents moyenâgeux et des tintes anglaises évidentes .Une sorte de renaissance européenne actualisée sauce shoegazing . Ouais, je sais, j'extrapole et je ferais mieux d'écouter .Alcest c'est une resonance divine qui ouvre les portes vers une autre réalité .Essentiel !!

Hauntingly beautiful ♥️ the lyrics are deep

A distant prayer that brings the evening wind Animates the leaves in their languid dance. It is the song sung in old trees for you, For these dark woods now asleep. Without expecting so many seasons have passed; The golden leaves are going to die down Reborn one day under sunny skies, But eroded our world will remain the same And tomorrow you and I are gone.

This music is so beautiful :')

This is indescribably beautiful...

WOW. I was definitely not expecting THAT! This is some really good music.

jaime beaucoup

Bliss.....that's the only word I can think of to describe this.

i cant destroy my memories :(

cette musique est magnifique ...

I've been possessed by the magic of this tune.

beautifull

Je suis musicien , mon frere est musicien . tous deux exilés depuis près de 30 ans avec une vie chaotique et des déchirements successifs. Pour ses 51 ans je lui offre cet album parce qu'avec ceci il comprendra a quel point il compte pour moi .

So great emotional song

I reaaaallly looove Alcest *-*

I listened this song 5 years ago. Form this video on KZfaq. This is still one of my favourite album. It's just so beautiful.

Love this song 💜

I like this a lot and it isn't the stuff I would normally listen to.

Beautiful song ❤

I listen to this when I need to calm down and forget life. I listen to this song all the time.

This is simply amazing! I am polarised by those beautiful melodies...

Uff.... amazing song ❤

Lyrics in english via Google translate: A distant prayer that brings the evening wind Animates the leaves in their languid dance. It is the song sung in old trees for you, For these dark woods now asleep. Without expecting so many seasons have passed; The golden leaves are going to die down Reborn one day under sunny skies, But eroded our world will remain the same And tomorrow you and I are gone. Fuckin' beautiful.

1.15 to 1.47 lifts the listener to the skies and the rest of the song makes it a magical journey

`Shoegazing (also known as shoegaze) is a subgenre of alternative rock that emerged from the United Kingdom in the late 1980s. It lasted there until the mid 1990s, with a critical zenith reached in 1990 and 1991. The British music press-particularly NME and Melody Maker-named this style shoegazing because the musicians in these bands stood relatively still during live performances in a detached, introspective, non-confrontational state, hence the idea that they were gazing at their shoes.

Après l'écoute de ce premier morceau et après les premiers frissons, je me dis que cet album va être l'un si ce n'est le meilleur que Neige a réalisé, je me hâte vers le prochain morceau.

Amo tanto essa música mds

now this. THIS is something truly special. i can’t stop listening to it

No band soothes my soul and mood like Alcest does

Been listening to this almost every day for the past two weeks or so :)

Cover killer nation leads me to yet another amazing band. Wow just wonderful music.

I don't understand why people care so much about which "genre" this falls under. Neige says himself that his music isn't of any particular genre and that he sees it as music from another world - which it is. Stop bickering and listen in peace together to this beautiful, ethereal noise.

i love this song

My god, this song is just... too fucking good.

0:00 -->1:16 intro for us ...

Je pensé toujours cette chanson parce que c'est vraiment uniquement. J'aime bien le titre et le mélodie. J'aurai voyager les étoiles maintenant. Alors, je pense que Alcest est le meilleur groupe du monde avec Iron Maiden. Convivial !

can't seem to get enough of this song

This song is just..... Brilliant

I can't handle how good this song is sometimes

This song is... really hitting the right spots for me.

Alcest and Jesu all day baby.
