lyrics
Longing for Nothingness
Sad spirit, once so ready for the fight,
Hope, who so often spurred you on your way,
Rides you no longer. Have no shame, lie down;
Old horse, the stones have lamed your stumbling feet.
Let go, my heart, and sleep your brutish sleep.
Defeated weary mind, you old marauder,
Now neither love nor combat can arouse you;
Farewell, the trumpet’s call, the sighing flute!
Old pleasures, tempt this brooding heart no longer!
The fragrance of the spring is gone for ever.
Minute by minute, Time engulfs my soul
As snowdrifts swallow up a stiffening corpse;
I contemplate the round globe from above
And seek no hut to shelter from it all.
Come, Avalanche, take me with you in your fall!

Rewards patience and an open ear.
A few years ago, I thought Davachi's minimal Drone tracks were boring. Then, I saw several people gushing over this one. I tried again - and was still bored out of my mind. A few months passed, I gave it another try. Now, it's one of my favourites of 2022. aisthetic

This "Live at Montreux" is an incredible rendition of the beauty of her music. "Ugly and Vengeful" will make you cry with this fantastic version, sublimating the studio version. Jérémy Payan
