It seems to picture the point of view of the one who is left behind in the woodkid's journey, the mother/lover. A passive figure who'll never get a glimpse of the anything beyond homeland, but keeps loyalty to the kid and waits for his glorious return. And as wise as loyalty and not going after him may be, the loneliness is still unsettling. Somewhat reminded me of "Penelope", Odisseus' wife, who in the poem waits for him for 10 years. I just love how this is followed by "Iron", which works like a response to this one, showing the struggle of the one who went on the journey. Here the snow and ice are displayed in a idealistic manner: "I've never seen the Northern Lights, I've never seen the snow I never walked across the ice I ignore the ocean's flow" While in "Iron" the harsh reality comes down: "This steady burst of snow is burning my hands I'm frozen to the bones, I am A million miles from home, I'm walking away I can't remind your eyes, your face." Just awesome...
As in every other kind of storytelling, a song doesn't have to be the singers story, nor does it have to be a literal one. In other tracks he's singing about the sound of iron and the taste of blood, which really doesn't seem like something Yoann Lemoine has going on in his daily life. Him being gay really doesn't have to limit the story he tells.
I've never seen the Northern Lights, I've never seen the snow I never walked across the ice I ignore the ocean's flow Where I'm born is where I'll die Where I live is where I cry My children left on a cold night My husband said it's how things go Like rabbits blinded by the light Kids want a better place to grow Where I'm born is where I'll die At night I shiver and I try To forget that I never cheated That I tried to be strong No matter how wise I was, I feel wrong To forget that I never followed That man that I adored Who promised me pretty sins and gold And I'm waiting for the sun And I'm waiting for the sun I will never be out of sight I'll never feel the snow I'll never reach the truth of lies I'm just watching my flowers grow Where I'm born is where I'll die At night I can't sleep when I try To forget that I never cheated That I tried to be strong No matter how wise I was, I feel wrong To forget that I never followed That man that I adored Who promised me pretty sins and gold And I'm waiting for the sun And I'm waiting for the sun To forget that I never cheated That I tried to be strong No matter how wise I was, I feel wrong To forget that I never followed That man that I adored Who promised me pretty sins and gold And I'm waiting for the sun And I'm waiting for the sun
the thing about Woodkid isn't only that he's capable of writing such haunting and emotive lyrics, but you can hear him bearing his entire soul when he performs it
One of the things that I love about all of Woodkid's music is how he pronounces each word. To the point where you have to look up the lyrics to understand all of what he says, and that, gives the songs deeper meanings. The Golden Age album is just perfect in every single way. Perfect music.
Watch Woodkid's live video of Run boy run that he did about two weeks ago, that shit is powerful! I love the song, but live version is just something else!
This song was my summer song.Reminded me of my best days i had with my friends.Now it just bring me to tear snice it's all gone and life just keep yanking me to places that i wish it would stop...Man i wish i wasn't a adult and just be a teen again.
I love my mother. As a father of two young children now, this song connects me to her in a profound way, This song makes me think of her, and what it means to watch your children grow and move away.
Good thing about woodkid is that none of the songs sound the same, they all have different layouts. Ghost lights does sound similar to iron, but it can pass because they're fucking beautiful
@Julian Friends WHAT??? Woodkid is blocked in the U.S, but Nicki fucking minaj isn't??? What the hell?? RUclips seems to not realize that Americans do enjoy actual music like this and not that Anaconda crap.
Esta es la canción que mas escucho cuando estoy triste, lo suficiente como para sentirme pequeño en mi habitación, esta canción me relaja me hace pensar que no estoy aquí, solo siento un vacío en mi, solo siento la música y siento que voy callen do en un agujero oscuro y profundo en donde se que algún día llegare a lo más profundo y será cuando deje de exisitr...
Stessa identica vale per me, l'ho conosciuto con Revelation e a poco a poco mi sono appassionato sempre di più alla sua musica, scoprendo dei capolavori veramente emozionanti.
"I'M STILL ALIVE!" he yelled, as he feels so repulsed to what Hatena was doing. Hatena was thinking, thinking if he'd did the right thing, the right action, the right teachings for humanity. Of course, he believed he did the right thing for humanity. He did not flinch as Rosaku roared as he stumble across the barren city, partly reduced to ruble and coloured with orange of the sky and the red of the corpses. "Where I live is where I die, Rosaku. No one can change that, but me." The halo of the sun surrounds Hatena's head, as he stands on an angel statue. "I'd rather clean this world - better, to abandon it, than to die within your disgusting filth. The last words will be the only words you will hear forever while you live in hell. Let me remind you those words: Good-bye." He said without a flinch.
"I just want to be a hero. Can't you just let me be the kind of person I want to be?" I became so shaken, my knees and chest began to shake on it's own. Tears flow down my face. A stream, more likely. I just don't want to be a bad person. The high girlish voice I have just makes me weak. I just want to be strong, happy to help people. How can I now, not saving those three-hundred people from the nytroglycer explosion, as a result of the lost of my two arms... and paralysis?
💫Where I live Там, где я живу I've never seen the Northerm Lighs Я никогда не видел Северное Сияние, I've never seen the snow Я никогда не видел снег, I never walked across the ice Мне не доводилось ходить по льду, I ignore the ocean's flow Мне безразличны потоки океана. Where I'm born is where I'll die Где я родился, там я и умру, Where I live is where I cry Я живу там, где я плачу. My children left on a cold night Мои дети ушли в холодную ночь, My husband said it's how things go Мой муж сказал - таков порядок вещей, Like rabbits blinded by the light Как кролики, ослепленные светом, Kids want a better place to grow Ребятишки ищут лучшего места, чтобы взрослеть. Where I'm born is where I'll die Где я родился, там я и умру, At night I shiver and I try Я трепещу этой ночью, но стараюсь To forget that I never cheated Забыть, что я никогда не обманывал, That I tried to be strong Что я старался быть сильным. No matter how wise I was, I feel wrong Неважно, насколько я был осведомлен - я ошибался, To forget that I never followed Забыть, что я никогда не следовал That man that I adored За человеком, которого я обожал, Who promised me pretty sins and gold Который обещал мне и грехов и золота. And I'm waiting for the sun И я жду солнце, And I'm waiting for the sun И я жду солнце. I will never be out the sight Я всегда буду где-то рядом, I'll never feel the snow Я никогда не почувствую снег, I'll never reach the truth of lies Я никогда не достигну глубины лжи I'm just watching the flowers grow Я просто наблюдаю как растут эти цветы... Where I'm born is where I'll die Где я родился, там я и умру, At night I can't sleep when I try Я не могу уснуть, пока стараюсь To forget that I never cheated Забыть, что я никогда не обманывал, That I tried to be strong Что я старался быть сильным.

Huh. Just found out about this guy yesterday. Giving this album a listen, and everyone is speaking about him like I've been speaking about Rich Mullins. I mean, at least Rich had one hit go REALLY big, and a handful of smaller hits
I imagine a boy who lived in a peaceful village. After years it changed, he moved from town away from his parents and the older he gets the regret he feel leaving his family behind. So he went back and went to his house and both of his parents has passed. He lays tears to the ground and visits the grave. In the graves he kneels down and hugs the tomb stone. So he regret the time he wasted.
Nunca he visto las luces del norte Nunca he visto la nieve Nunca he caminado a través del hielo Ignoro el fluir del océano Donde nací es donde moriré Donde vivo es donde lloro Mis niños se fueron en una noche fría Mi esposo dice que así son las cosas Como conejos cegados por la luz Los niños quieren un mejor lugar para crecer Donde nací es donde moriré En la noche me dan escalofríos e intento Olvidar que nunca hice trampa Que traté ser fuerte No importa que tan sabio era, me sentía equivocado Olvidar que nunca seguí Al hombre que yo adoraba Quien me prometía bellos pecados y oro Y estoy esperando al sol Y estoy esperando al sol Nunca estaré fuera de vista Nunca sentiré la nieve Nunca alcanzaré la verdad de las mentiras Sólo estoy viendo mis flores crecer Donde nací es donde moriré En la noche no puedo dormir cuando intento Olvidar que nunca hice trampa Que traté ser fuerte No importa que tan sabio era, me sentía equivocado Olvidar que nunca seguí Al hombre que yo adoraba Quien me prometía bellos pecados y oro Y estoy esperando al sol Y estoy esperando al sol Olvidar que nunca hice trampa Que traté ser fuerte No importa que tan sabio era, me sentía equivocado Olvidar que nunca seguí Al hombre que yo adoraba Quien me prometía bellos pecados y oro Y estoy esperando al sol Y estoy esperando al sol "Nunca hice trampa" También podría traducirse como "Nunca engañé a mi esposo". Dato: Woodkid ha mencionado que esta canción es cantada desde la perspectiva de una mujer.
I think you are the only artist to almost push me to tears. This music is art, and it is the most beautiful thing in the auditory universe.

I just love how this is followed by "Iron", which works like a response to this one, showing the struggle of the one who went on the journey. Here the snow and ice are displayed in a idealistic manner:
"I've never seen the Northern Lights,
I've never seen the snow
I never walked across the ice

While in "Iron" the harsh reality comes down:
"This steady burst of snow is burning my hands
I'm frozen to the bones, I am
A million miles from home, I'm walking away
I can't remind your eyes, your face."
Just awesome...
Oh my gosh, that is a brilliant observation...
+Daniel Romero some Dark Souls shit right there.... i love it absolutely love it
Victor Dantas Then I shall say to _you,_ that is a brilliant observation!
"the mother/lover" the singer is gay

I've never seen the Northern Lights,
I've never seen the snow
I never walked across the ice
I ignore the ocean's flow
Where I'm born is where I'll die
Where I live is where I cry
My children left on a cold night
My husband said it's how things go
Like rabbits blinded by the light
Kids want a better place to grow
Where I'm born is where I'll die
At night I shiver and I try
To forget that I never cheated
That I tried to be strong
No matter how wise I was, I feel wrong
To forget that I never followed
That man that I adored
Who promised me pretty sins and gold
And I'm waiting for the sun
And I'm waiting for the sun
I will never be out of sight
I'll never feel the snow
I'll never reach the truth of lies
I'm just watching my flowers grow
Where I'm born is where I'll die
At night I can't sleep when I try
To forget that I never cheated
That I tried to be strong
No matter how wise I was, I feel wrong
To forget that I never followed
That man that I adored
Who promised me pretty sins and gold
And I'm waiting for the sun
And I'm waiting for the sun
To forget that I never cheated
That I tried to be strong
No matter how wise I was, I feel wrong
To forget that I never followed
That man that I adored
Who promised me pretty sins and gold
And I'm waiting for the sun
And I'm waiting for the sun
Yıldız Çimen Thanks!
the thing about Woodkid isn't only that he's capable of writing such haunting and emotive lyrics, but you can hear him bearing his entire soul when he performs it
There are songs that please the ears, and then there are those that connect to the heart. Woodkid - Where i Live.
One of the things that I love about all of Woodkid's music is how he pronounces each word. To the point where you have to look up the lyrics to understand all of what he says, and that, gives the songs deeper meanings. The Golden Age album is just perfect in every single way. Perfect music.
C'est son accent charmant qui rend l'Anglais dur à comprendre...
The only artist to have ever brought me to tears
Watch Woodkid's live video of Run boy run that he did about two weeks ago, that shit is powerful! I love the song, but live version is just something else!
What about Jeff Buckley/ Nick Drake? Their music is very poignant.
Everyone can relate to this song in some way. That's why Woodkid's lyrics are so awesome.
Woodkid and really good music are the same word
Klafrenikkss really good music is three words
I know, but IDC! it`s just a way to talk!
wlizotte2 They are synonyms
this is hands down one of the best album I ever heard. each track is splendid
This song was my summer song.Reminded me of my best days i had with my friends.Now it just bring me to tear snice it's all gone and life just keep yanking me to places that i wish it would stop...Man i wish i wasn't a adult and just be a teen again.
I love my mother. As a father of two young children now, this song connects me to her in a profound way, This song makes me think of her, and what it means to watch your children grow and move away.
But unto you that want my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow
This song right here, is what you call a true masterpiece :,)
Woodkid - a noble soul...Woodkid - такая возвышенная душа
Love this! One of my favorites. The whole album is great.
This guy is proof that actual music is still alive!
The whole album is amazing!
Good thing about woodkid is that none of the songs sound the same, they all have different layouts. Ghost lights does sound similar to iron, but it can pass because they're fucking beautiful
Thank goodness he released the full album. I could never get a copy of it. In fact I don't even think they sell it in the U.S.
Grample Gust Your profile picture looks so satisfied.
some of his songs are even blocked in the US by youtube
@Julian Friends WHAT??? Woodkid is blocked in the U.S, but Nicki fucking minaj isn't??? What the hell?? RUclips seems to not realize that Americans do enjoy actual music like this and not that Anaconda crap.
This song is really good *-*
I really like this song from the album
this music sure is beautiful and all that stuff but i cant help but fall into a depressed mood. oh well still worth listening CAUSE ITS SO BEAUTIFUL
+Egloider kairosclerosis: consciously being aware that you’re happy and therefor becoming unhappy
Egal welche Farbe und Zeit ,immer wieder anders und cool 😋
Nothing can compare dis song is just a perfection I have listen this so much times
I cant seem to understand how can some people dislike this ?
Esta es la canción que mas escucho cuando estoy triste, lo suficiente como para sentirme pequeño en mi habitación, esta canción me relaja me hace pensar que no estoy aquí, solo siento un vacío en mi, solo siento la música y siento que voy callen do en un agujero oscuro y profundo en donde se que algún día llegare a lo más profundo y será cuando deje de exisitr...
❤
Man I am in love with your musicals
I've heard this tune before, but tbh I only recognize it when I come across this song. It's like a far-off dream
i LOVE this song!!!!!
sometimes I find it hard to listen what he is singing, but i love it
underrated song
So beautiful
This inspire me to keen going
I love your song it's dream for me when listen your music
Those 6 dislikes were probably just mistakes. Only logical explanation...
+desa pole Yeah, why did RUclips think putting the like and dislike button so close to each other was a good idea?
+desa pole or really sad people that got struck by this song message
+Zeus54321 why did they think putting a dislike button on woodkids channel was a good idea in the first place
+DesapoleEdits Dis I LIKE
+Kelvin Fong No. No. God no.
This song is beautiful, but it is making me sad/emotional, I had to stop it halfway
best music
Hype!
wow... Ho scoperto questo artista grazie al trailer di AC revelations, ma non sapevo fosse così bravo e suggestivo
Stessa identica vale per me, l'ho conosciuto con Revelation e a poco a poco mi sono appassionato sempre di più alla sua musica, scoprendo dei capolavori veramente emozionanti.

💫Where I live
Там, где я живу
I've never seen the Northerm Lighs
Я никогда не видел Северное Сияние,
I've never seen the snow
Я никогда не видел снег,
I never walked across the ice
Мне не доводилось ходить по льду,
I ignore the ocean's flow
Мне безразличны потоки океана.
Where I'm born is where I'll die
Где я родился, там я и умру,
Where I live is where I cry
Я живу там, где я плачу.
My children left on a cold night
Мои дети ушли в холодную ночь,
My husband said it's how things go
Мой муж сказал - таков порядок вещей,
Like rabbits blinded by the light
Как кролики, ослепленные светом,
Kids want a better place to grow
Ребятишки ищут лучшего места, чтобы взрослеть.
Where I'm born is where I'll die
Где я родился, там я и умру,
At night I shiver and I try
Я трепещу этой ночью, но стараюсь
To forget that I never cheated
Забыть, что я никогда не обманывал,
That I tried to be strong
Что я старался быть сильным.
No matter how wise I was, I feel wrong
Неважно, насколько я был осведомлен - я ошибался,
To forget that I never followed
Забыть, что я никогда не следовал
That man that I adored
За человеком, которого я обожал,
Who promised me pretty sins and gold
Который обещал мне и грехов и золота.
And I'm waiting for the sun
И я жду солнце,
And I'm waiting for the sun
И я жду солнце.
I will never be out the sight
Я всегда буду где-то рядом,
I'll never feel the snow
Я никогда не почувствую снег,
I'll never reach the truth of lies
Я никогда не достигну глубины лжи
I'm just watching the flowers grow
Я просто наблюдаю как растут эти цветы...
Where I'm born is where I'll die
Где я родился, там я и умру,
At night I can't sleep when I try
Я не могу уснуть, пока стараюсь
To forget that I never cheated
Забыть, что я никогда не обманывал,
That I tried to be strong
Что я старался быть сильным.
No matter how wise I was, I feel wrong
Неважно, насколько я был осведомлен - я ошибался,
To forget that I never followed
Забыть, что я никогда не следовал
That man that I adored
За человеком, которого я обожал,
Who promised me pretty sins and gold
Который обещал мне и грехов и золота.
And I'm waiting for the sun
И я жду солнце,
And I'm waiting for the sun

To forget that I never cheated

Would that it were so simple.
😭😭😭😰😭
This reminds me Irisviel from Fate zero
Reminds me of twilight
1:12 😗
This is proof that real, actual music can still exist in the age of shitty fallout boy and Nicki minage.
Quien la puede traducir al español bien porfavor
Nunca he visto las luces del norte
Nunca he visto la nieve
Nunca he caminado a través del hielo
Ignoro el fluir del océano
Donde nací es donde moriré
Donde vivo es donde lloro
Mis niños se fueron en una noche fría
Mi esposo dice que así son las cosas
Como conejos cegados por la luz
Los niños quieren un mejor lugar para crecer
Donde nací es donde moriré
En la noche me dan escalofríos e intento
Olvidar que nunca hice trampa
Que traté ser fuerte
No importa que tan sabio era, me sentía equivocado
Olvidar que nunca seguí
Al hombre que yo adoraba
Quien me prometía bellos pecados y oro
Y estoy esperando al sol
Y estoy esperando al sol
Nunca estaré fuera de vista
Nunca sentiré la nieve
Nunca alcanzaré la verdad de las mentiras
Sólo estoy viendo mis flores crecer
Donde nací es donde moriré
En la noche no puedo dormir cuando intento
Olvidar que nunca hice trampa
Que traté ser fuerte
No importa que tan sabio era, me sentía equivocado
Olvidar que nunca seguí
Al hombre que yo adoraba
Quien me prometía bellos pecados y oro
Y estoy esperando al sol
Y estoy esperando al sol
Olvidar que nunca hice trampa
Que traté ser fuerte
No importa que tan sabio era, me sentía equivocado
Olvidar que nunca seguí
Al hombre que yo adoraba
Quien me prometía bellos pecados y oro
Y estoy esperando al sol
Y estoy esperando al sol
"Nunca hice trampa" También podría traducirse como "Nunca engañé a mi esposo".
Dato: Woodkid ha mencionado que esta canción es cantada desde la perspectiva de una mujer.
oooh muchas gracias !!!!!!!
Caesar Galeana gracias!!!
Es muy bien. ¿Woodkid es fantastico a musica, no?

I don't mean to offend anyone but when I hear this it immediately reminds me of Coldplay.
Meanehile over here in the States we are stuck with Snoop dog and Nicki fucking minaj. 😒
