One to Listen – Valiant Hearts: Wanderlust (07.14.) /ENG/

Hey everyone! This is our first article released in english and you can except more coming in the future. We will try to release as many articles as we can in english but not everything will be translated. We are really excited about this and we hope you will find this article and the following ones enjoyable and informative. Stay Tuned!

Why should you give Wanderlust a chance? As you can see below Wanderlust is the name-giver song of Valiant Hearts’ 2018 album. The song’s particular place in the album can be felt in quality and in length too. Wanderlust can be favoured by those who want a less powerful, calm music with quite colorful and varied tunes. The vocal and the base of the music complement each other perfectly, they don’t suppress one another. The lyrics are quite imaginative but looking at how meaningful is it we can find other tracks that perform better. There are multiple well made songs on this album (There’s no ice in Iceland, Don’t follow the winter thread, Thrive) but Wanderlust is definitely a choice anyone should give a chance even if they like post-hardcore less.

Lyrics:

We will run far away from our homes 
In the night and the freezing cold 
To find a place we can belong 
Seasons come, take their shape 
Hold my hand and tell me I’ll need to be brave 
For you (for you) and only you (and only you) 
Dear sun and moon 
How far will you follow me through 

Follow me through the ice and the snow 
Through the gardens and the greenery 
Through the sky and sea and desert below 
Lies a lonesome city 
And up above the stars begin to erupt 
They collide with our hearts and shatter into dust 
Tell me, have you seen enough? 

I’ll walk to the edge of the world 
If it means I can chase this feeling one more time 
I’ll scream from the top of my lungs 
From the mountain tops my body could never climb 
I’ll stare into the great unknown 
Until the mesmer has overfilled my mind 
I wake into a home i’ve outgrown 
Where my dreams all pale in comparison to this new soul 

This new soul shows me where to go 

When we fall out of space 
We dissolve above the clouds and the earth below 
A burning star coming home 
Seasons come, take their shape 
Hold my hand and tell me I’ll need to be brave 
For you (for you) and only you (and only you) 
Dear sun and moon 
How far will you follow me through? 

Follow me through the ice and the snow 
Through the gardens and the greenery 
Through the sky and sea and desert below 
Lies a lonesome city 

I’ll walk to the edge of the world 
If it means I can chase this feeling one more time 
I’ll scream from the top of my lungs 
From the mountain tops my body could never climb 
I’ll stare into the great unknown 
Until the mesmer has overfilled my mind 
I wake into a home i’ve outgrown 
Where my dreams all pale in comparison to this new soul 
Shows me where to go
