1) Marble Arch are a French guitar-pop band fronted by Yann Le Ravazet. The group's second album 'Children of the Slump' was released on the 22 March 2019 and follows their 2014 debut 'The Bloom of Division'.
2) MARBLE ARCH was formed in 1994 by Niklas Brodd (guitar), Martin Boman (guitar), Johan Wadelius (vocals and then bass) and Jonas Renöfeldt (drums), back then under their original moniker, Evercry. The quartet quickly grew tired of generic metal tunes and were rather into the idea of exploring the darker side of music in its many shades of grey, since the five of them were inspired by bands that avoided well-worn paths, such as Candlemass and The Cure. Apart from that, none of the creative forces in MARBLE ARCH ever had any fear of musical contact with either the UK rock scene, LoFi indie pop/rock or even ‘80s goth bands. Thus it was only natural that they would never be your generic gothic metal band, even though influences from heavier music could not be denied.
After taking the normal steps in the beginning of a career (shows, demo, more shows…) drummer Jonas left the band. Their debut MCD Demise The Crown was released through the small Swedish label Heathendoom Records and earned them their first positive reactions. In 1996 they finally found drummer Petter Ter-Borch who added the last missing piece to define their musical vision. After two years of intense rehearsals they finally felt comfortable enough to release their mini-CD Focus which received excellent reviews in national magazines and fanzines. Even though the first labels approached the band they decided to take their time to find a suitable partner. After finally signing with Century Media Records in 2001, relocating from their original hometown Bollnäs to Gothenburg and also renaming the band MARBLE ARCH, they were more than ready to start pre-producing their debut album with Finnish producer Anssi Kippo (Children Of Bodom, Entwine, Lullacry). Around the same time Johan decided to fully concentrate on his duties as a vocalist and frontman, but the vacant bass-spot was quickly filled by then-session musician Jesper Bagge (who became a permanent member after the album was recorded). In the end of May they sequestered themselves in Lappeenranta, Finland to record Another Sunday Bright in Anssi Kippo’s Astia Studio. During the recording, Tanja Lainio from Lullacry stopped by to add some female backing vocals to some of the songs which only cater the dark and melancholic vibe of this rock album. It might take a few turns here and there, but afterwards Another Sunday Bright will without a doubt be a fellow friend – and not only for your darkest hours.
Reminiscence
Marble Arch Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In the clear blue sky, you feel like dreaming
Nothing else to do nothing else to share
This morning i just saw you dancing in the wind
Until you fall down, dreams down in the ground
Bad seed grows in you child, wickedness with a pretty smile
Little boy do you know what you did
They fucking used u and known you are crying
When anger is around it's not good to see you coming
Just dry your eyes, up your head, don't be shy don't be afraid
You won't fall again, stand up in the rain.
Bad seed grows in you child, wickedness with a pretty smile
Behind your back you'll see the trouble that you hide.
The song "Reminiscence" by Marble Arch is a hauntingly beautiful tune that delves into the complexities of childhood innocence and growing up. The opening lines describe a little boy who is flying in the air in the clear blue sky, feeling like he is dreaming. The sense of weightlessness and freedom that the boy experiences is contrasted with the harsh reality that awaits him on the ground, as the lyrics state "until you fall down, dreams down in the ground". The innocence of childhood is fleeting, and the harsh reality of the world can come crashing down at any time.
The chorus of the song speaks to the darker side of childhood, as the lyrics warn of a "bad seed" that grows in some children, manifesting as wickedness with a pretty smile. The troubles that are hidden behind the child's back are revealed, and the song urges the listener not to be afraid to confront them. The bridge of the song is particularly striking, with the lyrics "little boy do you know what you did, they fucking used u and now you are crying". This line speaks to the ways in which children can be exploited and manipulated by adults, often without the child even realizing what is happening. The sense of betrayal and confusion that the child would feel in this situation is palpable in the lyrics.
