Sound
Quantic (feat Alice Russell) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I heard that danger comes from high above
We heard the deafening sound of hate and love
I heard that trouble comes from deep within
We only heard the sound of everything
I saw the bright light of the sun
We saw the many different shapes as one
I saw the white snow turn to dust
We saw a different love of love and trust

I heard that music came from out of space
We had it cast upon the human race
I heard the future from afar
We heard the past, from a distant star
I saw the patterns in the sky
We saw our only chance passing by
I saw the people change to cope
We saw a distant space of love and hope

I felt a feeling from way up there
We felt vibrations, the basic snare
I felt the tender touch of the sun
We felt the many planets spinning round
I saw the shadows blow and shine
We saw the silent passing of our time





I saw the world change to greed
We rode a boat through heavy seas

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Quantic feat. Alice Russell's “The Sound of Everything” is a mix of poetic and abstract phrases that delve into the existence of danger, love, music, and the universe. The opening line, “I heard that danger comes from high above,” implies that danger doesn't come from the expected places, but rather it comes from above where people don't usually look out for it. The following lines, “We heard the deafening sound of hate and love” allude to the fact that the differences between love and hate may not be as clear-cut as we imagine them to be.


The second verse has a theme of contrast, with the line “I saw the bright light of the sun” followed by “We saw the many different shapes as one.” The lyrical content suggests that things are not always as straightforward as we see them, and there may be different perspectives involved. The lyrics “I heard the future from afar” and “We heard the past, from a distant star” seem intertwined, suggesting that the future and past may be a continuum.


The third and final verse of the song is more heavily involved with the universe, with lines like “I felt a feeling from way up there” and “We felt vibrations, the basic snare.” The final line, “We rode a boat through heavy seas,” appears to be a metaphor for life's journey, insinuating that our paths might not be clear, and there may be setbacks, obstacles, and challenges we must overcome. Overall, the song's lyrics seem to ponder the mysteries and mysteries of the universe and suggest that there may be more to life than meets the eye.

This mix never gets old. I always play it even if I'm happy or sad, it makes me feel good.

@ricardoleite7289

CONGRATULATIONS MY FRIENDS - I AM FROM BRAZIL AND I WAS VERY HAPPY TO SEE MY PARENT'S MUSIC ON ITS PLAYLIST - PEACE - LOVE - MUSIC

@dominiquedeve4406

Excellent merci

@Goldieosborn6264

Which song???

@brnfc

@@Goldieosborn6264 I loved the Brazilian references. Many artists we overlook in our own coutry. The first song for example is beautiful samba that I didn't know.
Also at 15:10 - Iara Rennó (Brazil) in a song from Ana Tijoux (Chile) produced by Quantic : Doo Wop (That Thing)
Then 21:24 - Caju e Castanha (The kings of the Embolada, this music genre)

@paulomorales7081
