It was composed by Alexandra, Angélique, Pookie, Marie-Laure and Ophélie.
The male band (Linkup)win this edition but Diadems was offered to record one album and one single.
Their first single, Encore was realised in the beginning of 2004 and received some good sucess, charted at n°4.
When the Diadems' album was realised a few weeks later, it was expected to receive the same success than the Linkup one.
But the girls' album totally floped despite the fact that this opus was quite promoted on french channels. It didn't even entered the french Top100...
A second single, Celle que je suis was sent to french medias and received good appreciations, better than Encore.
However, the french buyers prefered Linkup and this second single was not a major success, charted in the the french Top60.
As a result, Diadems disbanded.
Nowadays, Ophélie is known as Ophélie Cassy and recorded her first solo album after having realised a successful single with Paolo Meneguzzi
No one of the others members has a project at time of writting.
Encore
Diadems Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Mais parfois j'essayais de trouver ça normal
Je pouvais me renier et puis perdre le sens
Ce besoin de crier qui me brûle en silence
{Refrain:}
Encore! Perdre ma voix
Encore! Me dire parfois
Encore! Que tout est là
Ne plus penser à ça et me dire que j'y crois
Et regarder le ciel y voir comme un appel
Encore! Perdre ma voix!
Encore...
J'ai appris à me battre et à trouver ma voie
Que la pierre qui éclate peut me blesser parfois
Que le vent qui me pousse peut m'emmener trop loin
Et son souffle, trop souvent effacer mon chemin
{au Refrain}
Je m'endors
Quitter mon corps
Mais je sais que je dois me lever
Essayer Encore une fois!
{au Refrain, x2}
The song Encore by Diadems speaks about the struggle of dealing with pain and the need for perseverance. The first verse acknowledges that the singer has learned how to navigate through pain but sometimes pretends everything is normal. They acknowledge the struggle of having to suppress the need to scream out loud due to societal expectations of keeping it all in, but the desire to voice out the pain is still burning inside. The chorus repeats the word "Encore" (meaning "Again" in French) four times, emphasizing the need to go through the pain repeatedly and the hope of finding a solution. The singer wants to lose their voice by saying it out loud, believing that everything is still there and nothing is getting better. They look to the sky, seeing it as an invitation to move forward and keep going.
In the second verse, the singer talks about how they have learned to fight and find their way through life's obstacles. They know that the journey may come with some bruises and bumps, but they are ready to face them. The wind can push them too hard, making it easy to lose their way, but they acknowledge that they can be resilient and make corrections to stay on track. The final lines show a moment of surrender and surrender, allowing themselves to sleep and disconnect but with the commitment to try again.
Overall, the lyrics emphasize the importance of resilience and perseverance, no matter the circumstances. Pain is an integral part of life, but finding ways to navigate through it is essential. The constant repetition of the word "Encore" shows that the singer acknowledges the challenges that come with life but is determined to find a way to overcome them.
