This song is a kind of presentation and manifest, and was meant right from the start as an opening for the first full album of Villa Vide.
TERRAIN VAGUE (WASTELAND)
I’m a mystery to myself
A missing person
A friend of night
The invisible enemy
Within.
Que fais-je ici,
Sur ce terrain vague ?
(What I'm doing here,
On this wasteland ?)
Helicopter blades in a poem of clouds
Drinks open doors
It’s like walking into mirrors
Endless corridors
I can’t remember…
Que fais-je ici,
Sur ce terrain vague ?
Des forêts sans orée
Des forêts sans arrêt
(Forests with no edge
Non stop forests)
Des forêts sans orée
Des forêts sans arrêt
Et ce terrain vague…
Et ce terrain vague…
The blindfolded man in the video is Jean-Claude Stella-Goldschmit, from the artist duo Stella Goldschmit and the Art gallery “Au jardin fleuri” in Lormes. You can see more of their work on YouTube and on social networks. The light art installation at the end of the video has been filmed at the exhibition “Heureux soient les fêlés, car ils laisseront passer la lumière” by Olivier Ratsi in Paris at La Gaîté Lyrique.
