Performer: Camille
Composer: Camille Dalmais
Here’s one of my absolute favorite songs, it’s actually much longer than presented on Spotify, it’s normally 39 minutes, mostly of a drone that represents the album which is called “Le Fil” which means “the wire” or “the line” in this case it’s the through “line” this drone that’s meditative, this drone starts the album. But they cut it off on Spotify, because Spotify’s lame. The whole album is A Cappella except for a bass line. The bass line in the song is sick. The lyrics are so beautiful. Here’s the lyrics translated to English:
“When I walk, I walk.
When I sleep, I sleep.
When I sing, I sing
I let myself go
When I walk, I walk straight.
When I sing, I sing nude.
and when I love, I only love you.
When I think of you, I can’t sleep
Chorus
I’m here
I’m inside
I’m at the beginning
I won’t mock myself above all
‘Understand,’ you told me
’the world’s song.’ So, since then
When the sun rises, I am there
And when the night falls
I fall as well
Chorus
When I’m hungry, you nourish me
The cry of the dog, then the rain
When you leave, I wait here
I let myself go
And I forget you”
In the real song there’s an Easter egg at the very end of the drone in the album which is a huge payoff where Camille basically they said she couldn’t do an album like the one you just heard, but she says it’s false, it’s false.
