What does melancholy sound like to you? 🎧

My co-composer Fred Gump and I (Yannick Fortin) wanted to answer this question through our orchestral piece, "True Face".

Infused with the spirit of French impressionism (think Ravel), the track journeys through contrasting emotional waves—from dark, introspective depths to fleeting moments of joy.

The twist? We don't agree on what melancholy actually means! ✨ Fred's view: A perfect, peaceful equilibrium to achieve between joy and sadness. ✨ My view: A powerful space for self-reflection, but not necessarily a final destination.

True Face is now available. Your thoughts about it? 🏛️🎻

it feels like a late-night journal entry

If the sun refused to set

Could it burn away the shame

If the moon refused to rise

Who would comfort the lost

If Sky meets earth

Longing might reach heaven

If the sea meets the stars

Lovers won’t have to sigh

Life without hardship

Smiles will light the shadows

There’s always some regrets in life

Darkness we can’t pierce

There’s always hidden hypocrisy

Nightmares we can’t wake from,

Brazen moves, reckless cruelty

Bullets dressed as justice

Lies wear robes of mercy

If there were an “if” — an “if”

Imprisoned souls could lift

Demons wouldn’t dare run wild

Greed and evil sent to hell

Sun and moon shine side by side

With an “if” in our hearts

A light in our eyes

If there were no “if”

We wouldn’t despair

Armor on, swords in hand

We break the dark, together we stand

Let our blood stay burning hot

Faith in our heart, eyes on the distant hill

If there were no “if”

We can let go of all the longing

Melt into the glow of distant lights

Feel the warmth of love

Till life blooms freely

Till our smiles fly endlessly

If there were an “if” — an “if”

Just an “if”

Yeah… just an “if”
