Los Eclipses: “Elodie” (Live At Scholz Garten)

Happy first day of spring! With sunny skies in the 70s and school out, let’s put an extra spring in that step.

Mexico City’s Los Eclipses are a cosmic duo. Blending many Latin music influences with singer Eva De Marce’s Franco background, a lot of their music feels like it’s created a rare new space in music: airy, psychedelic, French-Pop inspired music with bilingual lyrics and Latin roots. Like the cosmic distance between the lunar and solar eclipses, Los Eclipses encompasses all they are.

“Elodie” is a French-language tune wherein the speaker is lionizing the artist Elodie’s complex personality, talents, and burdens. A tortured artist on the brink. Feeling alone and misunderstood, the speaker is there to console Elodie, saying “Je veux embrasser tes blessures,” I want to kiss your wounds.
