Great Men With No Fear - Heavenly Wonders

from Uvarious Artists Vol​.​12 by Various Artists

/

about

After the release of the single Milwaukee's Rime, shared by Where the Music Meets, Phonograph Me, Zoe Konez and others, Great Men With No Fear unveils a second track from his upcoming EP Indigo.

With its organic and ethereal instrumentation, Heavenly Wonders takes us - a little paradoxically - into the underwater depths, where the last rays of light intertwine. The surface of the water, whose sparkle disappears as we sink, is nothing more than a distant firmament separating us forever from the world above.

A piece tinged with melancholy that invites us to isolation, and introspection. Perfect to accompany the end of summer.

lyrics

Heavenly wonders
Dead leaves on the track
Sing the old man driving
As the motion’s getting slow
Embracing mother
Jorah lays on the back-
Seat and I mess around
Attention-seeking son
Drink and step into silence
Since I know it’s time, my love
I think of the past
That way it told me
The future is
In a hurry, you walk with
The sand as a load
Shimmering waters
You drowned me in the dark
I see the all world swimming
On emotions, I repressed
It’s pleasantly over
Jorah lays on the Black
Sea, but I stay under
Where attraction keeps me now

from Uvarious Artists Vol​.​12, released September 21, 2021
Song written and produced by Frédéric Laval
Mixing: Frédéric Laval
Mastering: Andrew Goldring
Album cover: Jordan Heraud

Behind this project name in the plural, only one man, Frédéric Laval, Bordeaux native songwriter now in exile in Brussels.

The Belgian Capital is for him the perfect breeding ground for introspection, for taking a necessary and beneficial distance from his hectic daily life and from a society that is constantly in panic. He observes all this and translates his emotions into sounds, metaphors, little stories tinged with folk melodies that are necessarily a little melancholic.

Modesty in the voice, sensitivity in the writing and behind a raw, mostly acoustic guitar, layers of electronica arrangements sprinkled over everything from his home studio in Brussels.

He gathered his compositions on an album entitled "Old Loved Ones" released in early 2020, a small collection of nine titles as disarming of beauty as luminous of hope, like his first single 'Poems from Beirut' which tells the story of a separation between a mother and her son and the correspondence they could have to keep hope and courage in the future. A song about the conditions of women written last year, but which takes even longer meaning in view of the recent drama experienced by the Lebanese city recently.

Songs with timeless themes, but which echo this funny period we are going through. "Old Loved Ones" is a cry of love to those old people who don't take enough time to see, head in the handlebars and caught up in our daily productivity. An awareness of an ambient mess and putting real priorities back at the center. A lesson in life through songs of tender love à la Sufjan Stevens or Angelo De Augustine.
