Опубликовано: 19 окт. 2013 г.Track 3/8, from Gravity (Ad Noiseam adn168).
To The Hills begins with a long interference noise during more than 3 minutes 30, interrupted by strings and high-pitched sounds in the background, before the piano kicks in, like a thick fog slowly going away.
This song evokes for me the birth of a living being, pushed away from the comfort and the safety of the mother's womb to the real world, facing for the first time the elements, particularly light. Used to the darkness, that living being is almost mugged by the light, his pupils being for the first time open, air invading his lungs, sounds coming out from his mouth, cold hitting his skin.
This is for me that noisy part of the song, a fog in his eyes, an unknown sensation catching him in an incontrollable way. But after a few minutes, the newborn is slowly getting used to this whole new world, and doesn't feel mugged anymore.
The pictures are now coming clear to his eyes, the mother is holding him in her arms to share her heat, the air is not biting his throat. He understands that the light does not just allow him to see, but warms him up too. It may be better than he first thought and it looks beautiful. Now being reassured, the newborn can't help falling asleep; after all, he can be done with such a hard day.
Unknown is not always a bad thing, you just have to try at least once.

The last track of Gravity is a bit different from the rest of the set, as it seems to have no piano, but rather choirs and strings.
The finale is, in my opinion, the part that definitely releases you from the slight gravity you've always been subjected to through this album, a part that kept your body and your soul a bit on the Earth.
The choirs sound unreal, not from our world but somewhere far beyond our human reach. Excessively stretched and reverberated, foreign to our perception and knowledge, the voices added to the dissonant strings touches our spiritual side. They call you and you want to answer. The only condition is to leave the Earth, choose to not depend on gravity anymore.
Anyway, it's what you always wanted through these 42 minutes, isn't it? So you finally drop the rope that held you down there and serenely sail to new heights, new worlds, new sensations and perceptions over and above Earth's boundaries.
This track gives off an atmosphere and a peace I find when I enter a church. Something mystical that I can't be sure it exists or not, but still inspires respect and humility, making you feel like a speck of dust in an inaccessible immensity.

The title of this track is perfectly chosen, as its mood suggests me the absence of my relatives and my home with the quick rhythm of the song, the pitch alternation of the notes and the huge reverberation.
I kinda felt this when I left my native region and my kins several years ago, after family issues. You miss them, you miss your homeland and feel lost in a new unknown territory. The worst is that you think about home and relatives all the time, and it takes a long moment to fade out. It's obsessing, you always wonder if you made the right choice and if you'll regret it eventually.
I can feel that while listening to You'll Miss Us One Day.
The quick rhythm represents for me the perpetual thought of the past, of what I knew and won't see so soon. A dormant seed deeply planted in your mind.
The different pitches picture the change of mood, going from melancholy, doubt and regret to hope, opportunities and resurgence.
The reverberation translates a loss of landmarks, mixed feelings about your former and your new home. You are physically present in a new location but a part of your spirit is still there in the past.
Finally, the break from 2:27 to 2:33, slowly fading out into the next song, marks the compromise between all your thoughts. You can't forget what made you, who raised you, where you grew up, but you have to live looking forward to the future and build new things on your foundations, no matter what happened, what happens, and will happen. And after all, what prevents yourself from going home every so often ?
More than seven years after I settled down 500 kilometers from my homeland, I found friends and work, love where I live and what I do, and go back sometimes where I come from, not obsessed anymore about the past. But what I still miss are my mountains and the sound of the bells that rang each hour in my village's church.
