Description “Searched the whole world,
Found I can’t compare.
Searched the whole world,
Found I can’t compare.

But we’re here because we’re here,
We’re here because we’re here
And there’s nothing to fear,
No, there’s nothing to fear.
But we’re here because we’re here,
We’re here because we’re here
And there’s nothing to fear,
Yeah, there’s nothing to fear.

Time is not what it would seem,
The life we live is like a dream.
Release belief, let it wash over me,
Let love reveal what I feel, what I feel,
What I feel, what I feel.

All that I’ve seen, all that I feel
All I could be, is happening to me.
All that I’ve seen, all that I feel
All I could be is happening to me.
All that I’ve seen, all that I feel
All I could be, is happening to me.
All that I’ve seen, all that I feel
All I could be is happening to me.

Searched the whole world,
Found I can’t compare.
Searched the whole world,
Found I can’t compare.

Fight for what you believe in, dare to live your dream,
In this life don’t be afraid of yourself, don’t be afraid.
Fight for what you believe in, dare to live your dream,
In this life don’t be afraid of yourself, don’t be afraid.
Fight for what you believe in, dare to live your dream,
In this life don’t be afraid of yourself, don’t be afraid.
Fight for what you believe in, dare to live your dream,
In this life don’t be afraid of yourself, don’t be afraid.

Time is not what it would seem,
The life we live is like a dream.
Release belief, let it wash over me,
Let love reveal what I feel, what I feel,
What I feel, what I feel.

All that I’ve seen, all that I feel
All I could be, is happening to me.
All that I’ve seen, all that I feel
All I could be is happening to me.
All that I’ve seen, all that I feel
All I could be, is happening to me.
All that I’ve seen, all that I feel.”

[ The Gathering Of The Clouds – Anathema ]


First of all, I’d like to apologise for my disappearance here, January has been an awfully busy month for me. But on the bright side, for my comeback I finally got the chance to shoot a photo for my Weather Systems project, inspired by the Anathema album of the same name, which I’ve had in my mind for months. The Gathering Of The Clouds, is truly one of my favourite songs from that album and its visual representation was crystal clear in my mind since the beginning. I just had to wait for the perfect weather conditions while I was on holiday at my mother’s, as the location I absolutely wanted to use was there. Finally, today it happened and I’m happy as I could be.
Taken at Capo Caccia, Alghero, Italy.

Such heartbreak, such anguish
Such pain and despair
These things I do see
Your face shows they are there
They gather about you like clouds over your form
And strike and rumble like the thunderous storm
And anger etches itself into you frame
Becoming a familiar friend that calls you by name
But just as quick as it came your rage you now vent
Leaving you wracked by sobs, shaking and spent
But the squall will soon pass with a breeze light and fair
And embraces you close and now plays with your hair
So do not despair them as funeral shrouds
My dear, my friend they are just the gathering clouds.

Waters rise up from the Sea
And create the clouds dark above me
In time of trouble we shall form
And we come when dark forces are aborning
We are the Monsoon, the Deluge, the Storm
A symbol of The Gathering

What a lovely piece. The muted colors of the background go very well with soft colors of your outfit.

I was actually just portraying the feelings of the song. I'm glad I managed to capture them!

I feel cruel for not having paid as much attention as I usually do on your photographs To think I'd told myself to make an effort on D.A this year!

I love these, they remind me of the part of my childhood where I lived in France and went to beach really often ... it was always really cloudy! I'd never heard of Anathema until now, and I have to say, "The Gathering of the Clouds" is a gorgeous song. So I have to thank you again for your impeccable taste in music :3

You also look very VERY huggable here!

This weather is perfect for the photo, and you're wonderful at facial expressions. Also, all of the colors are so coordinated and dark that this photo actually made me sad.

I just let the emotions of the song flow through me. I don't know, this particular song does some magic to me, whenever I listen to it I have to catch my breath aftermaths. Perhaps that's why I found it so easy to portray these emotions.
