‘Pour Nous’/ ‘For Us’
‘Pour Nous’ (or ‘For Us’ in French) is bittersweet and moving, with a soundscape that sets itself up as something gentle, psychedelic and slow. It moves leisurely, unhurried, with melodies that emotionally charge the soundscape to make it sound halfway between a love song and a breakup song.
The song’s vocal harmonies in the verse are subtle and electrifying, with lines that seem apologetic and morose. “…I’m sorry, sorry my love…when I fall, you’re falling with me…”. These lines set the context, painting the picture for when the instruments come in to build on the song’s narrative.
The movement of the soundscape on ‘Pour Nous’ seems to capture emotions that seem bulky, not too light, not too heavy. The instruments seem to tell this story without words, vaguely pooling the track with emotions that resonate. These moments anchor, keeping the listener entranced in vibrations that feel whole in their perceived incompleteness.
There is a sense of relaxation through the song. Calm permeates through the soundscape allowing the listener to hang onto every note that plays on the guitar. There’s a slowness that keeps you in the mood like you’re wading through sticky molasses, stuck in the moment moving in slow motion.
‘Pour Nous’ by Chris Hylton is a soothing rock ballad that allows its instrumentation to take its listener on an expansive journey. The song makes for a compelling listen.
