What is special about his music is his variable singing voice. The countertenor Arbogast sings most of his songs in a very high, clear voice, which is in stark contrast to his outward appearance which possibly accounts for his particular fascination. In his appearances he accompanies himself with an Irish bouzouki.
Luc Arbogast has recorded five albums, which are only available at his concerts.
2003 : Fjall d'yr Vinur
2004 : Domus
2007 : Hortus Dei
2009 : Aux Portes de Sananda
2012 : Canticum in Terra
The last album, Canticum in Terra, was recorded in collaboration with other musicians: Mélinda Bressan (flute), Jean Louis Renou (percussion), Aliocha Regnard (violin and nyckelharpa) Sarah Picaud (vocals).
Eden
Luc Arbogast Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Nous étions de ceux qui espéraient en le voyage
O rois sans Terres que nous étions, mais avec en nous un espoir tel,
Qu'il illuminait les cieux obscurs, de son éclat.
Nos Royaumes étaient des Terres d'Âmes, libre sur les chemins du monde
Libérées des lois, libérées des lois
Libres sur les chemins des mondes
Libres sur les chemins du monde
Nous espérions tout du voyage, vers lesquels nous partions
Fiers de partager notre Amour de la Vie, quitte à verser nos larmes
Qui brillent encore dans la lumière du soir, dans les nuées.
The lyrics of Luc Arbogast's song "Eden" speak about the aspirations and hopes of a group of travelers who journeyed far away from home. In the first stanza, the singer describes how they had great expectations for their distant travels and how their hopeful spirit radiated like a bright light that illuminated the dark skies. Despite their lack of a permanent place to call their own, they held onto their hopes and this gave them a sense of purpose and fulfillment.
The second stanza talks about how their "Kingdoms" were lands of souls that were free to roam without any constraints or rules. The repetition of the phrase "libres sur les chemins des mondes" emphasizes the idea that they were free to travel wherever they wanted without any restrictions or boundaries. The singer reiterates their free spirit, stating that they were willing to share their love for life and even shed tears if need be. The upbeat melody and rhythm of the song reinforce the idea that the travelers were joyful and alive, despite any hardships they may have faced.
Overall, "Eden" is a song about finding freedom and fulfillment in one's journey through life, and the importance of holding onto one's dreams and hopes.
