on January 6, 2012 the album Les Voyages de l'Γme was released ... making 8th birthday today πβ¨ it's more than special for me, it's on my skin
with such a beautiful meaning, I'll tell you a little bit about ππ
During winter, every year, the feathers of this majestic bird fall so that new ones are born during the spring. This is why the peacock has become a spiritual symbol for many cultures, which have attributed very high senses to the energy that the peacock transmits.
It was once believed that the peacock was immune to poisonous plants and animals, being able to transform the toxins it eats into the radiant colors of its feathers. In India, the peacock was once considered a sacred animal, punished to death for anyone who killed one of them. In Tibetan Buddhism, the peacock symbolizes the bodhisattva, the one who transcends emotional poisons such as anger, jealousy and jealousy, and is able to live among βordinary peopleβ and help them achieve enlightenment. In China and Vietnam, the peacock is a sign of fertility, abundance and prosperity.
For a strand of Islam, the peacock is the first image that the Light manifested in the Self sees when it looks in the mirror. The peacock's tail also has special attention: they represent the spiritual virtues radiated by the Eye of the Heart. In this sense, we see a relationship with Theosophical thought, which considers the peacock a symbol of intelligence, the bird of wisdom and occult knowledge. The "eye" of the peacock's feather is also associated with the pineal gland, making it a sacred spiritual symbol related to mediumship.
For Christians, the pattern of the peacock's tails has acquired a meaning of omniscience, the all-seeing God. Its tail design represents the stars and the universe, and its six-pointed star-like crown symbolizes its magnitude and power. It is a symbol of eternity, immortality and wholeness.
In the 8 tracks that make up ''Les Voyages de l'Γme'' (The Voyage of the Soul), we have a mix of all the elements present in the band's career, ranging from shoegaze / post-rock psychedelia and melancholy to the despair of black metal.
LΓ OΓΉ Naissent Les Couleurs Nouvelles this is my favorite of this album, no doubt ... π seriously , you have to listen !!
βLΓ OΓΉ Naissent Les Couleurs Nouvelles could be a summary of the whole Alcest sound and emotional spectrum in the sense that itβs very long and complex, with several sections that are different from each other. People often say that Alcest is somehow prog, and I can understand why with a song like this. I think LΓ OΓΉ Naissent Les Couleurs Nouvelles is one of my live favorites; itβs powerful and fun to play, and I think the rest of the band would agree with me on that one.β
Les Voyages De L'Γme
the song that gives the title is a visual and sensory explosion ... is a song to be felt and emerge in the sensation it brings !!
Alcest is undoubtedly my favorite band, and I am proud to write about ... with the release of the new spiritual instinct album, they are doing a lot of shows in Europe, if you have a chance to go, go!!
it will be unique, I assure you ^^ i'm missing you, and I can't wait to see you again β¨ π
