In "Someone New", Esplanada captures the fragile moment of self-reinvention. Carried by crystalline guitar, enveloping bass, and heartfelt vocals, the track is a musical meditation on transformation and introspection. A piece of great delicacy, moving as much for what it says as for what it leaves unsaid.

Tectonic is a song about the unseen shifts beneath our lives — struggle, birth, death, and spirit moving like tectonic plates. Where galaxies, time, and human stories collide, it captures the raw force of change and rebirth. An artistic reflection on the essence of being — the pressure, the cracks, the rise of something new — it journeys from hidden struggles to cosmic movements, a meditation on life’s fractures and fusions that echo the power of the earth itself.

A torn page from a book I can't read
Every line's a whisper every word's a need
Your shadow lingers where the light won't go
A puzzle incomplete that I need to know

Footsteps echo in an empty hall
Your voice a memory that I can't recall
The stars are questions burning in the sky
The missing piece is you and I

You're the chapter that was never written
The melody lost but never forgotten
A riddle unsolved a mystery deep
You're the missing piece of the story I keep

The clock keeps ticking but the hands don't move
The silence speaks louder than I can prove
Every corner I turn feels like the start
Of chasing shadows in my heart

Falling through pages where your name should be
Searching for answers in a vast empty sea
Every heartbeat's a clue every breath's a sign
That the missing piece is what binds you to mine

You're the chapter that was never written
The melody lost but never forgotten
A riddle unsolved a mystery deep
You're the missing piece of the story I keep

A torn page from a book I can't read Every line's a whisper every word's a need Your shadow lingers where the light won't go A puzzle incomplete that I need to know

West Song (Acoustic Version)

SAMUEL YURI - West Song (Official Acoustic Audio)

Esplanada is a French-Dutch project produced in Paris (France).

Born from the meeting of three musicians with complementary backgrounds, Esplanada has developed a distinctive sonic identity: immersive, melodic, and cinematic alternative rock.
The band is made up of:
•	Ray Van D — Vocals and guitars, lyricist, a compelling performer with a voice instantly recognizable.
•	Philippe M — Composer, multi-instrumentalist (bass, guitars, keyboards), and the architect of the band’s soundscapes.
+	Tony Morra — Drums and percussions, master of organic groove and rhythmic precision.
+	Killian Cruiser: Keyboards
Their music flows between the emotional depth of The National, the atmospheric boldness of Radiohead, and the progressive power of Porcupine Tree, while retaining its own distinct identity. Each song unfolds like a story, with a carefully crafted dramatic arc, precise arrangements, and a focus on nuance.
With their second album, the duo affirms a universe where tension meets serenity, shadow meets light, and energy meets contemplation — an invitation to immerse oneself in a sonic journey that leaves a lasting impression.
