SONG OF THE WEEK
Song: "Un jour...la mort"
Artist: Catherine Ribeiro + Alpes T&E writer Parisa says, "A song to be filed under the 'One of the Greatest Avant-Garde Masterpieces of All Time that For Some Reason Not Enough People Talk About' category. It's a 25 minute prog-driven, psychedelic folk epic in which Catherine Ribeiro confronts the grim reaper. Written after her attempted suicide that left her unable to walk, speak or write for a year, this song narrates from the deepest pit of despair until the turnaround point where she decides she wants to experience life and 'get drunk on the saliva of [her] love'. Instrumentally carried along with acoustic guitar, microtonal piano lines, exquisitely lengthy organ solos, and bow-playing cosmophone, but nothing stands out more than Ribeiro's vocal performance. Between the poignant spoken word segments and gut wrenching screams, it's clear that her soul lives at the tip of her mouth. If I had to best draw comparisons, I'd say this song carries the psychedelic qualities of Pink Floyd, the raw punk attitude of early-era Stooges, the vocal stylings of Nico with a freakish Diamanda Galas-esque twist." |
