about

Lyrically: "The Day I'll Join You" is a letter addressed to a recently departed loved one. The abrupt ending has left me with a feeling of confusion and distress as the cause of the death remains unknown to this day. I explain to them that they're probably better off up there and that they're not missing out much here, highlighting the ongoing war in Ukraine and the infamous Covid-19 pandemic.

In this song, I express frustration and sadness over the global issues caused by humanity. Humans have the capacity to create incredible things, but unfortunately, they also use that capacity to cause significant harm to their own planet and species. This situation allows me to accept and better understand the motivations of my friend, in case she had foreseen her own passing.

Musically: The first time I heard "The Day I'll Join You," I was a bit surprised by Johnny's artistic direction. The song had an atmosphere all its own, somewhat different from what we usually do. I felt that same surprise with "Death Silence," written by Willy. However, once I found the theme that matched the music, I truly immersed myself in the atmosphere.

From the very first notes, you can feel a deep melancholy, a distress settling in right from the start. I'd say this song is really like the soundtrack of a film. It feels like we're following a story with chapters and final resolution. The guitars toward the end thrust us into a whirlwind where madness, incomprehension, and bitterness violently collide.

lyrics

Is death the one that found you
Or did you seek her out?
We’ll never known what lead you there
No warning left, we were all knocked out

These sort of questions
I’ve asked them and still do
As time is ticking by
No answers will come through
The seasons change
But each one of them reminds me of us
And the little I have left of you

‘Till the day I’ll join you

I hope when they die
People aren’t so mean
Aren’t so mean
Paradise, angels and all
Is it really as we see it here?
If that’s the case
I hope, once they pass
People aren’t so mean

You left us for a better place
Down here, it’s getting worse
Stuff blowing up here and there
When it’s not the bombs
It’s the cases on the rise
Crashing and burning

Sometimes I feel like human nature
is the trigger to all this misery

I still see the world we knew
But I’ll never get why you left
If I am being honest at times
I can’t wait for the day I’ll join you
For the day I’ll join you
