WOODKID FILM AND MUSIC

Yoann Lemoine born, 1983 in Lyon, France. An interesting artist creatively due to his film work and music. His debut album as 'Woodkid', 'The Golden Age', arrived in March 2013. His itunes profile says that he was most influenced by Leonard Cohen. Remember the heavenly Father said, 'Tap on Wood', so lets take a look at the work of the 'Woodkid'.

I've only listened to one of the tracks from the album, 'I Love You', and the scenes from the video have some symbology in it, that I felt that we should share, especially as the LORD compelled me to say 'I Love You' this night.

Its track 15, 'I Love You (Feat, Angel Haze) His profile says that the album is an autobiographical record. His mother is of Polish Jewish origin, and he studied illustration and animation. Looking at this young man's work, he really is a film maker.

The emphasis of the song lyrics are on the concept of 'Whatever I feel for you, you only seem to care about you'. The video begins with what looks like a female child laying on the floor, there is also a helmet with two horns, like a Norse helmet. The child looks like it is dead. Then he goes into a building that is a Church, starts talking Italian, there sits the Christian congregation, 'gormless', and he begins to sing, the song. Hence, the word 'Whatever I feel for you, you only seem to care about you'.

He seems to be telling the congregation that I have feelings too. The child at the beginning, could be symbolic of the fact that priests have to attend many situations whereby it can be 'traumatic' for them. Especially, when there is children involved. Did this young man, know someone that died young when he was growing up? Is he telling us that he is bereaved, due to what has happened in his life, and what he has had to experience?

Yet, he still has to face the congregation, that seem motionless. He then travels through all sorts of emotions related to his life, and where his work takes him. Symbolized by the water. It does remind me of one the Americans, in our spiritual community, whose sister passed over very young. Then there was a young girl from the community, Karen, that took her own life, due to her being bereaved over her mother.

Then at the end of the video, he is back in the Church building, and there is blood on his hands. It seems to be symbolic of what the Church has done. If we view this through a lens of a man with a Jewish mother. We can comprehend how responsibility for what has happened to the feminine, is clearly outside of what the Church is ready to discuss. The video is clearly putting responsibility for what has happened to children at the door of the Church. 

We are reminded of that fact, at the end of the video, that relates to the beginning of it. It began with the death of innocent female children, the feminine, and it ended with bloodshed, blood on a man's hands. The story of the Catholic Church that is on the conscience of every man, that has ever had any connection with it. 

Hence he sings, 'Whatever I feel for you, you only seem to care about you', and the song finishes with 'Where are you?'. Some have written that the song is about 'unrequited love'. A love so deep, strong, and emotive. Yet the man appears to be 'senseless', in the way that he looks, giving the impression that what he is doing as a Church priest is 'senseless, and meaningless'. 

And he sings, 'As we were dancing in the blue, I was synchronized with you, but now the sound of love is out of tune'.

In the Church, clearly, the color blue is to do with Mary, and the feminine. It is also a healing color, so instead of healing love of the feminine that can save lives, 'the sound of love is out of tune' and that is why he asking, where are you now? It is a poignant message, bearing in mind, that he is dressed as a Christian priest in the video. 

It reminds me of when I met a retired Christian priest in England, and he was upset that after 30 years his congregation hadn't changed. I asked him if he had taught them unconditional love, he responded, can you teach me? 

There is lots of energy in my room this evening, little light pastel shapes, like flowers dancing, in front of me, and I am feeling a very gentle connection with Karen. It feels like she has surfaced from the hall of healing, and its her way of saying thank you, for remembering her. There is victory, and life after death.
