    For all of you who lost someone... Alcest is somehow a state of calm and despair. Whenever I hear this song I feel somehow stronger and weaker at the same time, thanks to that kind of Magic Neige brings to us all.
    This song makes me remember of things that never been...

      I have led a similar life so far, but the least I could say, is that I'm a bit proud of myself, despite the blunders I have made, I have come so far, yet so far to go. There's a fairness to the unfairness of life. But, what's in your hand, is to never truly give up, to keep getting up, no matter what.

    Official Translation]
    Tonight, my soul,
    Enslaved and worn by earthly sorrows,
    Will feel the need to escape this prison of flesh.
    Far away from us and from our time,
    It shall leave for the stars.
    They will speak to my soul about its existence
    In pure and silent words,
    They will show it the way
    To unknown havens
    Where heaven meets earth
    These faraway lands
    Where high grasses in amber fields
    Dance with the light, forevermore.
    Where all memories of our earthly lives
    May wander free
    Despite Time and its vengeful attempt
    To erase it all.

      @@pemcconnell Yes I did. One new person emerged and that's some Wayne Beckett dude, who seems to have conveniently appeared after he posted on Kiwifarms and kind of embarrassed himself by saying he had a picture of his corpse. There's very little content related to the situation on the article, with most being filler talking about online harassment and trolling. I will give them the credit that they at least mentioned Twitter as well. But they did cherry pick one post where some mad at the internet dude said he wanted to dance on Byuu's corpse. While this post indeed is present, the problem is the article doesn't provide a screenshot of it. And let's not forget that no new information about the alleged suicide appeared, it's still "trust me bro". One would think his family would come out with their take on all this, which is what happened with that dolphin dev who commited suicide. And who's that anonymous source anyways? As you can see there are holes in the story.
      And the elephant in the room, his thread was barely active, having 13 pages, and turned out to be a personal army attempt from the OP who got ridiculed as well. He was also well known in the scene and involved in drama years before his Kiwifarms thread. Pretty sure that the people who DID harass him just used Kiwifarms as a scapegoat, were banned from Kiwifarms at some point, or had beef with some higher ups from Kiwifarms.

    I just love how this video is filmed. We never really see the whole of something, or if we do it's through intense light filters. I kept craning my neck, trying to peek around it, trying to see everything...but couldn't. It was like a video of half-rememberings, dreams that seem real and then start to vanish the more you try to concentrate on them. And knowing the backstory of Alcest, I'm fairly certain this is the exact effect Neige wanted. Love everything about this!

      @@thenoobgamer816 When Neige was a child, he would find himself in another world, which he would refer to as a fairy land of sorts. These 'visions'/'transportations' began to disappear the older he grew, so he started Alcest as a way of preserving the memories he had of these experiences. Hence why 'Souvenirs d'un autre monde' is called what it is - the translation is 'memories from another world'. :)

      Suicide is a selfish act. Those who commit suicide don't realize the pain and anguish that action leaves behind. It doesn't stop the pain and suffering, it let's it endure. Humans are connected beings. Your life reaches to others in ways you might not be able to realize. Life is always worth living. But choosing to live is beyond some people's ability. The ability to cope with what happens in life is a skill that some cannot learn on their own. Just accepting life for what it is and isn't is a huge challenge.

      @@_Zarrku You have no fucking idea what drives people to suicide. The pain they feel, the hopelessness left in them, the lack of a conscience. The inability to make the right decision. You don’t know shit. You should shut the fuck up if you know what’s good for you, because suicide is never an act out of the desire to satiate a greedy need. It’s a false pretense of escape that you can’t help but believe when everything grows worse and worse. Get the fuck out before you make it worse with your dumb bullshit.

    Sentira le besoin de fuir sa prison de chair
    Très loin de nous, de notre temps
    Elle s'en tra rejoindre les étoiles
    Elles lui parleront de sa propre existence
    En des mots purs et silencieux
    Et lui montreront un chemin
    Menant vers les havres inconnus
    Reliant ciel et terre
    Ces contrées lontaines
    Où les hautes herbes dans les champs vermeils
    A jamais valsent avec la lumière
    Où peuvent librement errer

    Muy lejos de nosotros, de nuestro tiempo,
    ella se unirá a las estrellas.

    Ellas les hablarán de su propia existencia
    con palabras puras y silenciosas,
    y les mostrarán un camino
    que llevan hacia puertos desconocidos
    que unen el cielo y la tierra.

    Estas tierras lejanas,
    donde las altas hierbas en los campos bermellones
    jamás danzarán con la luz;
    Donde podrán vagar libremente
    todos los recuerdos de nuestra vida en la Tierra.

    All the negative reviews aside for a moment, I would like to say that there's probably a gorgeous amount of symbolism in this video. (The relationship between the bare-footed man and the one covered in plant material, for examle) Both, as far as I can tell, are within this "otherworld" Neige bases his music on... Just wanted to put that out there.
    Cheers!

    I keep exploring the music of this band ( just discovered today) and I am feeling overwhelmed. Like the feeling of romance or falling in love but having that unsettling feeling that it won’t last.

    Two bands that do me well in an obscure way: Draconian and Alcest.
