The golden age...
...is an ambitioius attempt of Yoann Lemoine to establish himself as one of the new pop music exponent. Woodkid is an artistic concrete reality, full of apparent contradictions: his music pass from medieval folk sounds to electronic-progressive temptations.
The three singles "Iron", "Run Boy Run" and "I Love You" lead the ranks of the sound representation that Woodkid puts up with skill and a mastery of artist sailed. His art, rich in symbolic rebellion, therefore uses the ancestral fears and the religious iconoclasm to subvert a collective where metaphors are stronger than reality. The recurring themes in his songs are the crisis of adolescence, the heroes and the ideals that give meaning to their fate.
I love you is my favourite track of the entire album and maybe of all his discography.
"Today I tell you the story of a man who drowned in the cold waters of the ocean after losing someone he loved. This is the story of a man who died two times".
Why he died two times? First because he has lost his childood and second because he has lost his lover.
The element of water and the sea is predominant throughout the song, remember the moment of syntony between them and ceaselessly he asks what he can do to get a little attention (Is there anything I could do/just to get some attention from you?), since his beloved seems to think only of himself (you only seem to care about you) and seems unaware of his deep and real love (Is there any chance you could see me too?). The hero finds himself as drifting on the beach (After all I drifted ashore), reminding once again that once he and his beloved were "synchronized", unlike the present in which the sound is about a dissonant Love (But now the sound of love is out of tune). In the waves I’ve lost every trace of you, oh where are you?
