Juste deux articles pour mettre en évidence les inspirations du groupe Empyrium en ce qui concerne leurs paroles. Il ne fait aucun doute qu'ils ont bon goût. Voici "Ode on Melancholy" de Keats qui a servit de base à la chanson "Ode to Melancholy" d'Empyrium. On y retrouve même un vers quasiment en entier. Je vous laisse lire les deux pour vous en rendre compte.
Ode on Melancholy
No, no, go not to Lethe, neither twist
Wolf's-bane, tight-rooted, for its poisonous
wine;
Nor suffer thy pale forehead to be kiss'd
By nightshade, ruby grape of Proserpine;
Make not your rosary of yew-berries,
Nor let the beetle, nor the death-moth be
Your mournful Psyche,
nor the downy owl
A partner in your sorrow's mysteries;
For shade to shade will come too drowsily,
And drown the wakeful
anguish of the soul.
But when the melancholy fit shall fall
Sudden from heaven like a weeping cloud,
That fosters the droop-headed flowers all,
And hides the green hill in an April
shroud;
Then glut thy sorrow on a morning rose,
Or on the rainbow of the salt sand-wave,
Or on the wealth of
globed peonies;
Or if thy mistress some rich anger shows,
Emprison her soft hand, and let her rave,
And feed deep, deep upon
her peerless eyes.
She dwells with Beauty - Beauty that must die;
And Joy, whose hand is ever at his lips
Bidding adieu; and aching Pleasure nigh,
Turning to poison while the bee-mouth
sips:
Ay, in the very temple of Delight
Veil'd Melancholy has her sovran shrine,
Though seen of none save
him whose strenuous tongue
Can burst Joy's grape against his palate
fine;
His soul shall taste the sadness of her might,
And be among her cloudy
trophies hung.
