Tears fall
Laughing with one voice.
One day we’re fine
Then everything stops.
Happiness drifts like mist over water—never held, never owned, only witnessed in passing. Love, too, is a flicker, a spark leaping from one soul to another, never still, never lasting, yet no less real for its impermanence. We chase these things, grasping at air, forgetting that the beauty lies in their fleeting nature. A wave rises, crests, and vanishes; a leaf turns gold, falls, and dissolves into earth. So too do we—brief, burning seconds swallowed by eternity. The poetry is in the passing, the wonder in the going; to cling is to miss the magic of simply being.
Lis’s voice cracks like tempered glass; smooth yet raw, ethereal yet piercing, calling out from the liminal space between this world and the next. It lingers in the air like an old incantation, like the glow of dying embers, like light bending over the horizon before the dark takes hold. Ivi’s deep bass and haunting synths push the song forward—French coldwave’s icy precision wrapped in darkwave’s solemn pulses.
The video, directed by Denuit themselves, drifts between the earthly and the ethereal; a surrealist meditation on the fleeting wonder of existence. A field bathed in light, where time slows, where nature hums its quiet, eternal song. Then, the vast cosmos, swirling, spinning—dizzying, indifferent, yet impossibly grand. The film does not explain, nor does it need to; it simply unfolds, like a wave rising only to fall, like breath drawn and released. Beauty exists not in permanence but in its passing; to grasp at it is to miss it entirely.
“For this video clip, we wanted to capture the mood of the song as accurately as possible,” says the band. “We spent a lot of time getting every detail right. TEARS Fall is music that touches our hearts, and it’s our favourite track we’ve made so far. There’s something unique and special about it. It’s about the fleeting nature of happiness and love, and the poetry of how our time on earth is just a second lost in eternity…It’s a timeless memory.”
Watch “TEARS fall” below:
In LOVE VIOLENCE, Denuit’s forthcoming album, love is both sanctuary and battlefield; tenderness and fury, union and fracture, the spark and the storm. Without it, nothing begins; with it, everything is undone. This record is a reflection of their travels through Brazil, Portugal, Germany, and France, where each stop brought new encounters with love’s complexities and the tensions that accompany it.
Born from these cross-cultural exchanges, LOVE VIOLENCE celebrates love in all its wild, imperfect beauty. Through their music, Denuit offers not escape but truth—a reminder that even in chaos, there is resilience, and in imperfection, there is meaning.
