Maybe unveiling itself "above the ground" is another one of the clan's goals. ![]() Underground in a dark, silent environment. "We can be above the ground": suggests they are living underground right now. This line also downplays "life", as if it was something fungible.Ī few things here. "It's all we need": we don't need your other unique aspects your "life" for the clan is all we need. "Save your life" suggests the acting out from the beginning may have included downward spiraling / suicidal thoughts/ behavior. It needs the "lives" of its members, literally or metaphorically: organ transplant ("So I can breathe"), vs something like devoting all your energy to the clan. The clan will do these things, "mend your broken heart" and "retort the trials that you have lost" if the person joins. "The moment" could be the the event or that started the clan the clan's ideals therefore consumed their "sight". The recruiter describes how the environment for both of them is "dark and bare," with "no clarity, no light". These next few lines are how the "recruiter" describes the clan: "no illness and no pain", "Have not found any suffering". Running without vision." "Wronging all that's right" suggests that the character is acting out because he/she was suffering. In this story, the character being spoken to has suffered without a say or guidance: "Silent all you life. So to me, this song tells a story where a secretive clan recruits someone to "Give their live". This is not only a play on "clandestine" but also evokes imagery from the words "clan" and "destiny". This is great chilling out music despite it's intense nature, it really brings you to another place, both relaxing and even a little scary.My InterpretationI like the song's title, Clandestiny. The production is also superb, when you listen to this with headphones you really pick up on a lot of different things. It's really indescribable and an amazing piece of work. If asked to put this music in a genre, I suppose Acoustic Alternative would fit, but it's not a perfect description either. If you got Duplessie in a band God knows what sort of magic could be constructed. The gothic overtones of the music would fit well into the European Metal scene now with bands like Nightwish and that crowd. He has an amazing voice and an equally amazing talent for song construction. I don't want to promote the use of any mind-enhancing drugs, but let's just say this CD would be perfect IF one chose to partake in such behavior.Ĭlandestiny is basically Matt Duplessie, he does everything on the CD, which makes the songs even more amazing. It's almost like a soundtrack to a Horror film in some ways, tracks like "Beginning To See" will disturb you to the bone marrow with it's computerized voice talking about death.Īt other times, you can't help but think of Pink Floyd, there are lots of those type of trippy elements in the music. ![]() ![]() There are no drums on the entire album, but instead an amazing blend of keyboards, voices and vocals, sound effects and other elements. I guess you would consider this acoustic. "In trying to describe "Clandestiny" words that come to mind are "haunting", "chilling", "thought-provoking" and "intense".
