That conversation with God

I’m shocked that we actually see him in one of his videos. This is a first.

I played bassoon in the orchestra, you can see me in the back! So much fun to record this video!

I absolutely love the juxtaposition between his "I do try but I'm hopeless" and the sun coming up before him. Maybe not so hopeless, after all.

Speaking from personal experience, there's no pain like the pain of the deeply religious person who is also gay. Believing that you're not made in His likeness, that there is something deeply evil about the very core of who you are, and who you love. We're the fallen angels, cast out of heaven, and we're the sinners cast out of Eden.

This is a MASTERPIECE. Only Woodkid himself can express his music in such a cinematic and visually beautiful way with such a stunning location

Woodkid should make a Bond song.

Just give the man a chance at a James Bond Opener at this point.

Incredible... I would love him to do a Jame Bond song.

Metal Gear Solid: Phantom Pain Vibes to me

On first watch I can't help but notice some visual metaphor.

The sun is rising on you, Yoann. It is rising for you and it will shine bright, Woodkid. There is light at the end of your darkness__brighter and clearer days are coming your way. You are a rising star, a beacon of light lighting up our way and enlightening our souls. Don't you ever change, Mr Lemoine. We love you just the way you are.

This is gorgeous... As someone who's been fighting against depression for years, it hits me really, really hard. I don't think I understand the whole world he has built with this album, but it doesn't even matter because of how skilled he is at eliciting emotion with both his music and the visuals. It just speaks for itself and I had full body chills and tears in my eyes watching this. (The day dawning once he reaches out for help?? Damn)

This album is such a perfect mix of cold industrial tone and warm heartfelt vocals. Bravo, encore un succès 🙏

My band teacher introduced us to you when he played Iron one morning. Been loving your music ever since. Keep making music. Thank you.

The cinematography is breathtaking. I am truly fascinated by how light itself can tell a story. Respect for everyone who worked on this.

Streamed the new album today. First impression: He kept the cosmos feeling from The Golden Age, but reduced brass and added more strings, so the whole album sounded more mysterious and melancholic to me. The percussions were... metallic (I don’t know how to describe it) which was interesting. Some songs were soft and relaxing at first but then bam! All the brass, strings and choir and percussions came in. Soooo epic. Then the Japanese counting suddenly popped up, I was like hold up hold up what was THAT! As if all the emotions packed up until then burst out. What an emotional roller coaster. He is one of the most brilliant and creative artists I’ve ever known to use the voice of the orchestra so well.

Sometimes power resides in vulnerability. It is powerful to surrender to who we are even if it means admitting our darkest demons. "Im not made in your likeness, Youre not made for my darkness". Probably the most truthful and painful love declaration Ive ever read.

Literally the saviour of 2020. Woodkid bringing some ray of light to a bleak year.
