They began making music together when Jonathan, who was at film school in Brussels, asked Guillaume to work with him on a music video soundtrack.
As a duo they took the name The Blaze. They have explained that in addition to the strength and warmth suggested by the name, it means "name" in French slang.
Their distinctive integrative method involves producing sound and visuals at the same time, creating an especially strong link between music and image.
In January 2016 they released their debut video, "Virile," on Brodinski's Bromance Records. It won the UK Music Video Award (UKMVA) for Best Alternative Video - International in 2016.
On 7 April 2017 they released their debut EP, Territory, on the new Animal 63 label (headed by management and publishing company Savoir Faire and Believe Digital). The EP's six tracks included "Virile" and "Territory." Their "Territory" music video, released in February 2017, produced and directed by themselves, won the Film Craft Grand Prix at the 2017 Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity, Best Director at the Berlin Music Video Awards and the Best International Dance Video UK MVA.
"Heaven," their third video, was released in February 2018. It captures an idyllic outdoor scene amid a community of family and friends. "Heaven" was the final instalment of the video triptych.
Their 2018 touring schedule included European and US festivals including Coachella, Primavera Sound, the Roskilde Festival, Lollapalooza, Pitchfork Paris, Parklife, Lovebox, and Reading and Leeds Festivals.
Their debut full-length album Dancehall was released in September 2018. Its 10 tracks include the single "Heaven," along with the singles "She" and "Faces" which were released in summer 2018.
Breath
The Blaze Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In your eyes
When you quiver
When you cry
There's a rainbow
In your smile
When you're mellow
You're my reason
In this wonderful life
A super weapon
For stopping the fight
You made it happen
It was love at first sight
In one vast second
You turned on the light
You're my reason
In this wonderful life
A super weapon
For stopping the fight
You made it happen
It was love at first sight
In one vast second
You turned on the light
In my whole life
I've never felt so free
In my whole life
For the first time I feel I can breathe
In my whole life
I've never felt so free
For my whole life
You give me a reason to be
In my whole life
I've never felt so free
In my whole life
For the first time I feel I can breathe
In my whole life
I've never felt so free
For my whole life
You turned on a light yeah
The Blaze is a French electronic music duo composed of cousins Guillaume Alric and Jonathan Alric who formed in 2016. “Breath” is a single from their debut album, “Dancehall”. The lyrics of the song express gratitude towards a person who has managed to provide the singer with a renewed sense of purpose and hope. The song begins by describing the emotional state of the person being addressed, with the metaphor of a river in their eyes when they cry and a rainbow in their smile when they’re happy, conveying their innermost feelings.
The chorus of the song repeats the lines “You're my reason in this wonderful life / A super weapon for stopping the fight / You made it happen, it was love at first sight / In one vast second, you turned on the light”, reiterating the importance of the person being addressed as a source of strength and inspiration. The following lines further emphasize this point, as the singer says they’ve never felt as free in their entire life before.
The lyrics of “Breath” are optimistic and celebrating in tone, expressing the gratitude and appreciation the singer has for someone who has given them a reason to live. The song’s upbeat electronic sound adds to this feeling of joy and devotion, making it an uplifting ode to the power of love and connection.

@The Blaze Merci pour votre musique (Virile en particulier), elle m'a permis de sortir d'un long moment de brouillard et de ranimer cette profonde envie de créer de la zic, j'avais oublié cette sensation qui réchauffe le ventre et nous fait nous sentir vivant, Merci.
