The universe is an adventure. Tim Dup has a gift for taking us into the realm of metaphor. "I distil the day, I still the clouds". He threads his writing through the lexical fields of effluvia and the sky. He tints his music with a new freedom. The artist now tunes his solitary piano to the echoes of other musicians: strings, harp, flute, guitars, rhythms, electric bass, and two brilliant pianists, Thomas Enhco and Alexandre Tharaud. He joins his voice to those of three women artists, Anaïs Demoustier, for the first time a singer, Aurélie Saada and Marguerite dite Saane. A female bias? Their sensibilities are united and they want to sing together!
Each track tells a fragment of a story, each song chants out images from the cinema. Tim Dup poetises love - L'avventura - and takes us on a journey through the warmth of Italian cities, from the heights of Naples and Montecalvario, to childhood memories along the roads of Tuscany - Dolce ricordo. He makes the drunken dance - of alcohol and landscapes and flies to Osaka. "I plant flowers, others will pick them for me". This album was born during our first confinement, between the nascent fruits of the vineyard, the generous sun of spring and the suggested immobility. Tim wanted to sway the waves, to move the sounds. Juste pour te plaire, prologue title, cadences the stroll.
This 2021 vintage is delicious, Tim Dup luminous. We find his real-life inspired fragances and his faithful companions. Friendship and complicity in creation have created a particular emulsion in the artist's entourage. Pavane has co-produced his albums since his first EP. Hugo Pillard directs her videos one by one. Diane Sagnier has returned to photography and visual production. Fab Dupont has taken over the mixing for this new edition. Although Tim writes, composes, arranges and produces his songs, he is not alone. He likes to surround himself with others and bring out their talent. La course folle is a collective adventure. A third high-flying album that tells the story of La légèreté précieuse and takes us from the Sun to Les cinquantièmes hurlants.
An album full of songs. Tim Dup issues invitations for a sunny reunion, it's time to lighten up the winter, towards the mad rush of summer.
Fin août
Tim Dup Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Couchés dans la nuit
Face à l'océan en sourdine
Nébuleuse spatiale
Pénombre sans bruit
Distillent mon spleen
Sémaphores et phares
Finiront tôt ou tard
Par s'éteindre
Un dernier regard
On redoute un peu septembre
À la lueur du soir
Sur les plages, nous rejoindre
Comme rien n'a de sens
Êtres de passage
Alors ensemble on danse
Aux psychotropes, aux paysages
Brûlés à l'essence
Toujours en demi-teinte
Alors on finit
Promis au silence
Alors ensemble on danse
Alors ensemble on danse
Alors ensemble on danse
Alors ensemble on danse
Sémaphores et phares
Flambeaux, lampes et cendres
Finiront tôt ou tard
Par s'éteindre
Un dernier regard
On redoute un peu septembre
À la lueur du soir
Sur les plages, nous rejoindre
Comme rien n'a de sens
Alors on finit
Promis au silence
The song "Fin août" by Tim Dup is an introspective reflection on the end of summer and the inevitability of the passage of time. The opening verse finds the singer gazing up at the stars and the ocean, overwhelmed by a sense of melancholy that is only amplified by the dark and quiet surroundings. The lyrics hint at the futility of trying to hold onto moments that are always fleeting and ultimately give way to something new.
The second verse continues this existential rumination, invoking images of lighthouses and signal fires that will eventually burn out. Here, the sense of loss is more acute, as the singer acknowledges the looming arrival of September and the end of summer. Yet there is also a feeling of solidarity in the face of this shared experience of transience, as the singer joins with others on the beach and dances together in a kind of communion.
The repeated refrain of "Alors ensemble on danse" ("So together we dance") emphasizes this idea of finding solace in collective experience, even as time marches on and individual lives are marked by impermanence. The final lines of the song suggest a kind of acceptance of this fact, with the promise of silence representing both an end and a beginning.
