"When The Light Falls And The Bear Sleeps" by Emaline Delapaix
The cycle of nature sets an example for us, indeed, it lives it out before us, and we only need to follow it. The changing of the seasons stands for the constant change and adaptation that defines life, while the pause in winter represents the importance of self-care and inner reflection.
This period of rest allows both nature and us to lay down the "heavy burden of life" so we can enter a new cycle renewed.
The song "When The Light Falls And The Bear Sleeps" captures this theme. Emaline Delapaix invites us to slow down and reflect on what has happened. Retreating is allowed and not a sign of weakness!
After an autoimmune disease forced her into a multi-year break, Emaline Delapaix has returned stronger than ever. Musically, her new release offers everything that dreamy folk music embodies. The musical mood and the poetry create an atmosphere that captures the cold and the often gray skies typical of this season, wrapping the listener in a blanket, cradling them in safety, and almost bringing the world to a standstill for 4 minutes and 45 seconds. She wants to tell us to use this time to organize our thoughts and gather energy, reminiscent of Kate Bush and Bjørk.
"When The Light Falls And The Bear Sleeps" by Emaline Delapaix gets us ready, open for new things, for the beginning of the new cycle, we just have to listen. Magnificent!

Emaline Delapaix lädt uns mit ihrem Lied „When The Light Falls And The Bear Sleeps“ ein, innezuhalten und über das Vergangene nachzudenken. Sie zeigt, dass Rückzug erlaubt und keine Schwäche ist!
Nachdem sie durch eine Autoimmunerkrankung zu einer mehrjährigen Pause gezwungen war, ist sie stärker denn je zurückgekehrt. Musikalisch bietet ihr neues Werk alles, was verträumten Folk ausmacht: eine Atmosphäre, die die Kälte und grauen Himmel der Saison einfängt, den Hörer aber in eine Decke hüllt und in Sicherheit wiegt.
"When The Light Falls And The Bear Sleeps" bereitet uns darauf vor, offen für Neues zu sein – einfach zuhören und genießen. Großartig!
Die Möglichkeit, Emaline Delapaix live zu bestaunen, gibt's im Mai für alle Musikbegeisterten aus Deutschland und Österreich, denn da ist sie bei uns auf Tour.
