An Ode to the anxious struggle of the forecoming of death while alive. A chapter over the death of someone and it's unability to come to term with it. A modest guide to an un-superstitious approach to life.
Singing performance & composition by Jelila Bouraoui
Musical composition & Lyrics by Stélian Derenne
You were prepared,
Your head in the sand,
Still you'd preferred,
A chapter to and end.
Chorus :
But It's here,
And you better embrace it,
The short time,
Before getting trough the exit.
And you'd rather,
Have a chapter
To an end,
No extends,
Nothing after,
Being bitter doesn't matter.
Don't admit,
Just embrace it.
---
Verse 2:
Your faith is still,
Inside your god
But your fear is real
Coz god is not...
So fear your time,
Your anxious nature,
Poorly sublimed,
Seeks for torture
Chorus :
But It's here,
And you better embrace it,
The short time,
Before getting trough the exit.
And you'd rather,
Have a chapter
To an end,
No extends,
Nothing after,
Being bitter doesn't matter
Don't admit,
Just embrace it.
---
Verse 3 :
You've had your share,
Don't go out,
Thinking life is unfair,
Justice smilles at believers,
So don't be dumb as you leave us
cresc:
Your breath is now leaving,
Your lips are now shaking,
Your brain is now swimming,
Your heart is now swinging
Chorus :
So It's here,
You're now facing the exit,
Can you feel,
Calm and slow don't you love it?.
And you rather,
Had a chapter
To an end,
To attend,
Afterlife to ascend
Nothing after,
We die covered
Empty smile flowered,
Lifelong tone unanswered.
So embrace it,
Don't you love it?
The end to the chapter
Of your exit.

Born in New Zealand (2005), The8thstep, Alias for Belgian composer/songwriter/producer (Derenne Stélian) started with purely
electronic ambitions and evolved with the love of classical orchestrations related to technological capabilities and bastardized by years of abusive musical introspection....more

Love the dark soundscapes and myriad musical influences. Genre-bending and emotionally charged, this is one of my favourite albums. Laure's vocals are otherworldly 🖤 skog heksa

La notion de cycle nous obsède toujours : tantôt vecteur d'harmonie, celle du cercle aux proportions parfaites ; tantôt source d'angoisse existentielle.
Stélian Derenne et Laure Le Prunenec, qui s'associent en créant le groupe ELE YPSIS, décident de se pencher sur ce paradoxe dans ce premier album, SPIRALIS, qui se déroule sur quatre saisons, de l'automne à l'été suivant. C'est toute la magie de la nature qui est mise en avant, qui se répète sans cesse, jamais de la même manière. Poétique. Jordan Vauvert
A rich and vivid meal for your ears, made by jazz heads with hip-hop sensibility and pinches of soul, blues, and gospel. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 10, 2014

EKSÜ fait partie de ces albums à la beauté insondable. Plus intimiste que SPIRALIS, Stélian Derenne joue sur une musique minimale pour nous faire entrer dans une sorte d'extase — la recette fonctionne vraiment bien. Les aspects symphoniques sont mis de côté : la voix de Laure Le Prunenec est surtout accompagnée par un piano délicat et agile ("Fantaise" en est une belle preuve). Le voyage est plus aquatique, fonctionnant sur des flux et reflux quand l'electro glitchée s'en mêle. A ne pas manquer. Jordan Vauvert
