This song is literally the coolest one on the album.

[abbcherie]

This song temporarily cures my depression

[mikemofunnyvideos]

In the glorious days, till we lost our ways,

Hey, do you recall when the war was just a game?

Now the wind ventures to other plains,

Hey, when will I see you again if I go?



This train whistles and blows all sounds away,

Hey, how could we be close again?



Now the night is bathing in disgrace,

Hey, do you still braid some flowers in your hair,

Come the sound of boots and metal chains,

Hey, will the perfume of the daisies remain?



A circus of horses is dancing in the bay,

Hey, now the fire's in the way

The past is sucked by quicksands I'm afraid,

Hey, do you recall when the war was just a game?

[Riftothegato]

welcome to the most underrated song and artist

[sejan]

stabat mater is originally a classical hymn about Mary's pain during Jesus's crucifixion.

In the glorious days till we lost our way
Hey, do you recall when the war was just a game?
Now the wind ventures to other plains
Hey, when will I see you again if I go?

This train whistles and blows all sounds away
Hey, how could we be close again?

Now the night is bathing in disgrace
Hey, do you still braid some flowers in your hair?

Comes the sound of boots and metal chains
Hey, will the perfume of the daisies remain?

A circus of horses is dancing in the bay
Hey, now the fire is in the way

The past is sucked by quick-sands I’m afraid
Hey, do you recall when the war was just a game?

Was looking up a Gregorian chant named Stabat Mater, the chant about Maria, when this popped up. Funny how he uses such 'smart' and less obvious titles for his songs. Makes it that much more interesting. Woodkid is one of my favorite artists of today and he keeps on amazing me. (Saw him live last year and nearly died of happiness).

In my opinion this is like a badass intro for a villian

[omers]

Amazing and TOTALY underrated song.
That's a shame that it's so underrated

[oddorangeowl]

Okay, I'm definitely buying this album.

[kyled]

What I imagine is something like this: Two men stand facing each other on a battlefield filled with carnage. One wears a bright shining military uniform, the other wears ragged armor marked by a small insignia, the mark of a rebel. They stare at each other, almost not noticing the bloodshed around them. Their faces are cold and reveal nothing, but their eyes betray them. A small glow of familiarity can be seen in them, accompanied by the sorrow of knowing this had been much brighter before. Suddenly, as if by some unspoken agreement, both draw their blades and charge. No words are spoken, only the sound of clashing weapons rings out in this silent hell. Finally after what seems like an eternity, the two clash one final time. Who won? It doesn't matter in the end, they both lost what was most precious to them in the end: a dear friend.

[Левон-ян]

Goosebumps everytime he says "Hey"

[marianna.co]

Epic sound. This song could be a perfect soundtrack.

[isabeltorres]

I went to a dance concert yesterday night at my school and a senior used this music in his own personal piece and it was wonderful.

[bernazzanialain]

Je découvre un peu tardivement cet artiste, il ne passa jamais à la radio ( contrairement à d'autres artistes avec peu de talent qui polluent les radios), apprécie le mariage classique/électro, les mélodies sont belles et les textes ciselés. Il mérite une meilleure publicité. Ses clips sont magnifiques, fidèles les uns des autres et reflètent l'artiste
I discover a little late this artist, he never went on the radio (unlike other artists with little talent that pollute radios), enjoy the classic wedding / electro, the melodies are beautiful and chiseled texts. He deserves better publicity.
His clips are beautiful, faithful to each other and reflect the artist

[alexandraarriola]

I can just picture this song playing while to sun shines through the church stain glass windows all the arts of chruch and song coming together just absolutely amazing

[Nate]

This is so deep, I don't even understand

[joshuahoener]

Two brothers on opposing sides of a battle come face to face with each other.

[AstroPsych_]

The opening chord of this song is exactly the same as “Gangsta’s Paradise” and ALWAYS throws me off for like half a second

[JOKERKYZAR]

This song is made for an epic gigantic badass boss fight
just imagining gives me goosebumps
