Eliwagar - Alver Og Disir

The Dreams Die Young

This composition started with an email Deepak Gopalakrishnan (https://twitter.com/chuck_gopal) sent me 3 years ago with a noisy home recording of an intro riff to what he felt might make a good ambient/melodic metal song and he was kicked about collaborating to make one. 

Well, I kept him waiting for about 3 years, till this artwork by Blaft (https://twitter.com/blaftness/status/496147826695368704/photo/1) inspired me to make a doom metal arrangement of the sloka used to solemnize Hindu weddings. And Deepak's riff kicks it off

मान्गल्यम् तन्तुनानेन मम जीवन हेथुनां। 
Maangalyam Thanthunaanena mama jeevana hethunaam
कन्ठेः बध्नामि सुभगे संजीव शरदः शतम्॥
Kantehe badhnaami subhage sanjiva sharadashatham

"This is a sacred thread. This is essential for my long life. I tie this around your neck O maiden having many auspicious attributes. May you live happily for a hundred years(with me)."

Of course, all good intentions, except, most Indian weddings are arranged marriages where an unsuspecting girl is thrown into the forbidding depths of hell as her parents' life savings are wiped out to initiate a property transfer of her life, career and reproductive rights to the groom's family. 

The composition seeks to capture this impending sense of doom as she takes a blind step into this hall of nightmarish horrors that is known as the average Indian arranged marriage.

Marked for Death [MP3]

Emma Ruth Rundle - Heaven

ORCHID
O LEYENDO
Comme j'ai pu pleurer
YEN SOLO YEN SOLO 
d'être seul sans l'être
LI MEÏDE
Je voulais de l'aide

IN THIS TIME FRIGHTENING WORRYING MY OWN
En ce moment je m'effraie et m'angoisse
PRINCES, DAYLIGHT
Les princes la lumière du jour
WHY DOES IT SEEMS SO FAR OF ME?
Pourquoi semblent ils si loin de moi?
WHEN I FEEL THE WORLD IS COLD AND EMPTY LIKE MY HEART 
Quand je sens que le monde est froid et vide comme mon coeur
I TRY TO CATSH YOUR HAND TO BREAK BACK ME TO THE SAND
J'essaie d'attraper ta main pour me ramener sur le sable
CAUSE MY HEAD IS DRAWING LIKE A HEAVY TIDAL WAVE
Ma tête est dessine comme un lourd raz de marée 
EVERYTHING I TRY THE HAMMER HURTS ME, HITS MY BONES
Tout ce que j'essaie le marteau vient me heurter et frapper mes os
ORCHID SHOW ME YOUR LIGHT
Orchid, montre moi ta lumière
I' LL BE YOUR SOWER
Je serai ta semeuse
ALL MY NIGHTS MY LITTLE FAITH IN THE DARK
Toute mes nuits ma petite foi dans le noir
IT'S IN MY HEAD THE INFINITE LOVE IS THE ONLY THINGS I HOPE
C'est dans ma tête l'infinie amour c'est la seule chose que j'espère

ORCHID
ONE LIGHT IN THE DARK

BEING WITHOUT ALL THE USELESS THINGS
Etre sans toutes ces choses inutiles
NO BAD WORDS WORDS INTEREST
Pas de mauvais mots , les mots de l'intéret
HURTS ONE'S LIVING
Qui heurtent la vie
