They released their debut album Fenech-Soler on September 27th 2010 on B-Unique. It's an album that begins with a blast, its opener "Battlefields" launching with a heavenly chorus of voices, "Golden Sun" plays with rhythms that summon up the sultriness of desert heat; "The Great Unknown" takes a distant echo on French House in new, dizzying directions. And of course "Stop And Stare" play-listed at Radio 1 in May 2010, and reached Top 10 of the Dance and Indie singles chart.
"Lies" is their most famous song so far.

Fenech-Soler Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don´t even know
if we´ll get there
I guess I should´nt say
but it feel alright
In a world that shimmers
with emotion
We can go down
and round again

Sailing off the edge
of the radar
A scandinavian love affair
and at a time
with no translations
Stay close
and we´ll slow down the years

I don´t have to go anywhere
We can stand side by side
Napoleon left you high but
I´ll stay with you,
lost in the cold bright air.

And it´s alright
And it´s alright

We can climb a ladder
through the ceiling
Climb up
and watch the buildings fall
And maybe
we will find a hidden meaning
out, lost in a future
so far from home

So rise your hand up
to the white light
forget about the fashion
of your fear
I know that you´re the one
that feels scared
I´ll be the one
that´ll help you through

Up so high,
falling in and out of love
Bet high,
on the down side
We´ll find time
to always roll the dice
You´ll see,
it was always you and I.

Up so high,
falling in and out of love
Bet high,
on the down side
We´ll find time
to always roll the dice
You´ll see,
it was always you and I.

Up so high,
falling in and out of love
Bet high,
on the down side
We´ll find time
to always roll the dice

You´ll see,
it was always you and I.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Youth" by Fenech-Soler talk about being in the present moment, without worrying about the future or the past. The lyrics describe a feeling of confusion and uncertainty about the future, but also a sense of comfort in being in the present moment. The line "I don´t even know if we´ll get there" suggests the uncertainty and unpredictability of life, but the following line "I guess I should´nt say but it feel alright" shows that the uncertainty can also be freeing and calming. The chorus repeats the phrase "And it´s alright," emphasizing the importance of accepting the present moment as it is.

The second verse describes a sense of adventure and exploration, as the characters sail off the radar and have a Scandinavian love affair. The line "Stay close and we´ll slow down the years" suggests that being in the present moment with loved ones can make time seem to slow down. The third verse talks about climbing a ladder through the ceiling and watching buildings fall, adding to the sense of exploration and adventure. The line "forget about the fashion of your fear" suggests that fear can hold us back from experiencing new things, and that it's important to let go of that fear in order to live fully in the present moment.

Overall, "Youth" is a song about embracing the present moment, even when it's uncertain and scary, and finding comfort in the people we love.

I don´t even know
Uncertainty of the future

if we´ll get there
Doubt about reaching a certain destination

I guess I should´nt say
Awareness of potential implications of their statements

but it feel alright
Despite the potential issues, everything feels good

In a world that shimmers
A vivid and emotional world

with emotion
Full of feeling and passion

We can go down
Acknowledgement of the possibility of failure

and round again
Starting over after a setback

Sailing off the edge
Dramatic departure from typical experience

of the radar
Outside of the usual scope of attention

A scandinavian love affair
A romantic relationship with someone from Scandinavia

and at a time
During a specific period

with no translations
Lacking the necessary communication to fully understand each other

Stay close
A plea for emotional support

and we´ll slow down the years
Together they can make time feel less fleeting

I don´t have to go anywhere
Contentment with staying where they are

We can stand side by side
Together and united

Napoleon left you high but
Referring to a past failed relationship

I´ll stay with you,
Commitment to staying by the person's side

lost in the cold bright air.
Feeling disoriented and uncertain, but still optimistic

And it´s alright
Everything is okay

We can climb a ladder
Striving to meet a goal

through the ceiling
Breaking through barriers

Climb up
Directing the listener with confidence

and watch the buildings fall
Watch as obstacles crumble

And maybe
Hoping and speculating

we will find a hidden meaning
Discovering significance in something obscure

out, lost in a future
Unclear of what will come in time, but staying positive

so far from home
Feeling distant from a familiar, comfortable place

So rise your hand up
Encouragement to keep moving forward

to the white light
Toward a bright future

forget about the fashion
Disregard popular trends

of your fear
Let go of your anxieties

I know that you´re the one
Affirmation of the other's importance

that feels scared
Acknowledgement and validation of their fears

I´ll be the one
Commitment to supporting the other person

that´ll help you through
Offering emotional assistance

Up so high,
Aiming for success

falling in and out of love
Emotionally turbulent relationships

Bet high,
Taking risks despite uncertainty

on the down side
Acknowledging the risk of failure

We´ll find time
Making time for the things that matter

to always roll the dice
Continuing to take risks

You´ll see,
Assurance that things will become clear

it was always you and I.
Final affirmation of companionship and support
