My life like a... like a withered petal my betrayal for one night, I kissed my youth goodbye beauty must die Though, I run against the dark sure, I'll moan about old times though, the clock outlives our hearts still, I hope I shall not die At final dusk, silvery hair becoming dust Seasons blew me away before my mind grows old and merciless noise of the clock took off my crown but emptiness might be my new golden home my last golden home... Though, I run against the dark sure, I'll moan about old times though, the clock outlives our hearts still, I hope I shall not die

So Cold 05:28
Shedding tears on what I could be bathed in smoky light that I even don't see your wooded perfume as memory it feels so cold under the city Slaughtering fears that rotten in me barefoot on the floor, breath is leaving me one's lips on my neck kills your memory it feels so cold under the city Sweet trance on the sly my head to the sky silence passed me by music haunts my mind being confined as much as I'm free drowned in faceless crowd I don't want to see your cheeky gaze as memory it feels so cold under the city sweeping up doubts that you sowed in me unleashed on the floor, soul is leaving me one's lips on my neck kills your memory it feels so cold under the city Sweet trance on the sly my head to the sky silence passed me by music haunts my mind

Corps Astral 03:42
As though, it was leaving the foam my being rises towards immaterial and former blurry landscapes, become my true reality echoes of my voice felt silent spirit overcomes the mortal coil Released from flesh and bones I can drift on my own As though, it was leaving the foam my being rises towards immaterial Released from flesh and bones I can drift on my own
4.
Borealis 03:39
Let me enter inside your world a frozen curtain hides your world overhanging the tops moon dust shall mend my heart overhanging the tops... The undergrowth with its diaphanous white keeps calling and snowy owls in their divine wisdom still whispering the starry dome is my ceiling at night the blazing sun is my chimney outside and boreal wind by my side, by my side... overhanging the tops moon dust shall mend my heart overhanging the tops...
5.
Seated near the window, you looked so yummy didn't need so much time to adore you seated near that window, without a glance at me didn't need so much time to abhor you As rough as the storm taking everything away you stole my little heart, and slipped away as fixed as the horizon your gaze peers at the empty it kills me... Lips more red than the sky is blue I wanna be you lips more red than the sky is blue I wanna be you Seated near the window, you looked so yummy didn't need so much time to adore you seated near that window, without a glance at me didn't need so much time to abhor you As rough as the rain crashing down on the way my fall healed my little heart and took everything away as fixed as the horizon my gaze peers at the empty you killed me... Blood more red than the sky is blue I wanna be you blood more red than the sky is blue I wanna be you
6.
In spite of your tears, you smile despite your burnt wings, you fly waking me up in the night, with your selfish embraces offering me the sky, with learnt by heart sentences Even though you feed me with stories I only believe what I don't see and even if you shout that you love me I only believe what I don't see Hanging from your lips, the lies soil the wound I try to hide walking head up, my forced smile, fools my own perception but the bloodstain on my clothes, is breaking the illusion Even though you feed me with stories I only believe what I don't see and even if you shout that you love me I only believe what I don't see
7.
The shadows on the wall visibly turned blue and the youth like dull gold turns out to be so true Among the ambient rage you can't grasp your own language while the cries from the wall is resounding into you Beyond the stone seeing through blindfolds beyond the zones beyond the stone The shadows on the wall overlaid in blue and the youth that grew old turned out to be so true Among the breathless rage you forgot your own language while the cries from the wall pervaded into you Beyond the stone seeing through blindfolds beyond the zones beyond the stone
8.
Lovelorn 03:22
This spring day of 1990 eyes meeting and breaking the innocence in these teen days, end floated in the air pills in her pocket, sound like a sweet escape Push me in the well, and I'll fall under your spell wring my neck, and I'll swear to be your wreck push me in the well, and I'll fall under your spell wring my neck, and I'll swear to be your wreck This spring day, when love turned into hate breaths mixing, goodbye to ignorance pills in her pocket, are the only escape Push me in the well, and I'll fall under your spell wring my neck, and I'll swear to be your wreck push me in the well, and I'll fall under your spell wring my neck, and I'll swear to be your wreck This last day... lovelorn 'til the end
9.
Mess spoiled my faith of your lunacy, I'm the witness and your litany, feeds my sickness I need wild... I need wild to be my home leaving crowd, in which I feel alone I need wild Fake is your pledge of yourselves, you are the wraith your conformity is tour weakness I need wild... I need wild to be my home leaving crowd, in which I feel alone I need wild
10.
Oh go back to peace, love Oh let the pain decrease, love don't look back at me, love don't look back at me, love Today waves kiss the sand so soflty like the ocean, pretended to be asleep in a salty whisper hiding your pearly grave, you're meeting it to the big sleep Mermaids songs kiss the air so nicely, like deep waters, caressing your pale dumb lips like a faithful keeper of your eternal rest the ocean sealed your pale blue lips Oh go back to peace, love Oh let the pain decrease, love don't look back at me, love don't look back at me, love

Reviews

>>DJ BILLYPHOBIA
"When listening to "What I don't see" you'll trip in a continuum to your own core stuff, pleasantly stoned by its virgin melodies and icy rhythms. In short, this record is such impressive as if you close your eyes while standing alone at the end of a breakwater."

>>GOTHIC-ROCK.COM
"This ethereal wave act combines the best aspects of cold wave and shoe-gaze with danceable songs sprinkled throughout. (...) I highly recommend everyone to stop and give this exquisite album a listen. You won’t be disappointed."

>>FLOORSHIME ZIPPER BOOTS
"In a year that has seen an abundance of fine emerging music, Saigon Blue Rain stand out as hands above the rest."

>>TERRA RELICTA
"This album gets its high peak in the albums title song with some nice experimental electronic loops and haunting drive with quite rich palete of sounds all combined well into one captivating composition. The closing track "L'Offrande" is not an exception and the harmonies in this one are simply breathtaking."

>>LA LETRE CAPITAL
"Fría como el hielo, helada como la lápida de mármol de una tumba en un día de niebla, o cálida como un rayo de sol en primavera. Como la naturaleza. Como la vida misma. "

>>INDIEMUSIC.FR
"Dans un univers musical où tout le monde se revendique comme témoin de la musique des années 80, Ophelia et Franck préfèrent, à juste titre, contourner ces racines parfois encombrantes et acquérir, de l’intérieur, la musique noire et mélancolique qui fait leur force."

>>AVOPOLIS
"Το ηχητικό τους πέπλο καταλήγει ανέλπιστα εύηχο με άπειρες ώρες προσπάθειας και υπομονής να διαφαίνονται στο σχεδιασμό, τη στιγμή που η φωνή της Ophelia μοιάζει να μαγνητίζει τις αισθήσεις, χάριν στην απερίγραπτη εκφραστικότητά της."
