about

Si la mélancolie et l’amour devaient avoir des couleurs, il y aurait certainent du bleu, du gris, ainsi que toutes les nuances de rose et de mauve pour évoquer le vague à l’âme. Il y aurait aussi du rouge, comme les coeurs. Coeurs brisés, coeurs heureux.

Hiraezh donne le ton de ces dix chansons qui décrivent ces amours heureuses et malheureuses d’un autre temps, mais toujours si actuelles.

Et, malgré toute cette grisaille, comme le dit l’auteur de la première chanson: après la pluie vient le beau temps.

If melancholy and love had colours, there would certainly be blue, grey, and all the shades of pink and mauve to evoke wistfulness. There would also be red, like hearts. Broken hearts, happy hearts.

Hiraezh (“Nostalgia” in Breton) sets the tone for these ten songs that describe happy and unhappy loves from another time, but still so current.

And, despite all this greyness, as the writer of the first song says, “after the rain comes fair weather.”
