Madly, deeply

20th July 2023

Madly, deeply

Title of film: The Blaze, The Poem

Director: The Blaze: Guillaume and Jonathan Alric

Production Company: Iconoclast Paris

Wherever The Blaze takes us with their music and films, it's always somewhere real and heartfelt. Just wrap your soul around their latest self-directed bang-on video, The Poem, about the joy of music festivals that declares: 'Freedom itself is dancing in that crazy mess.'

The track Madly taken from The Blaze’s new album, Jungle

The Poem :

Imagine a place where no one can stop dancing

The beat shakes everything, everyone’s bouncing

It was deep, it was sweet, hardcore

I really felt things I’ve never felt before

I close my eyes and then everything’s lit.

My heart feels the beat and my soul feels the heat.

Now I feel like a very special witness

Freedom itself is dancing in that crazy mess

I let myself melt into the crowd to dance

Connected to everyone, I’m kissing the trance

When the sun rose again, there was no more music

It sounds like heaven with a distant kick

The wind sweeps the night dust into the sky

I can’t feel my feet cause I’m flying high

I was blind but now I see all the beauty

Hidden in the light, surrounded by poetry

I know something has changed deep inside me

It’s like a dream that I have to be with somebody

What is this feeling ? Everything’s so neat.

My heart skipped a beat.

I can see myself dancing in the sky above.

Am I dead ? Worst. Damn… I think I am in love.
