Please listen to Kate Stables and Mina Tindle sing a version of "Started Again" (from This is the Kit's 2020 album Off Off On) translated into French. Though British in origin, Stables and her family live in Paris where friend Tindle is relatively well-known as a French folk artist. Tindle is married to Bryce Dessner, songwriter and guitarist for the band The National.
The setting in rural France, the song, the vocal talent all can only be described as idyllic. I had to listen to it three times in a row when I first heard it earlier this evening.

David Lang - Death Speaks: No. 1, You Will Return
Pocas composiciones logran estremecerme tan profundamente como esta "You Will Return", el primer movimiento del ciclo Death Speaks de David Lang;
es una obra de una belleza inquietante, donde la muerte no se presenta como un final abrupto, sino como una compañera serena que nos guía hacia el descanso. Inspirado en la tradición de los lieder de Schubert, Lang dota a la Muerte de una voz propia, creando un diálogo íntimo y casi hipnótico entre el oyente y lo inevitable. La desnudez de la instrumentación y la sutileza de la armonía refuerzan la sensación de fragilidad y trascendencia, atrapando al oyente en un estado de contemplación profunda.
Musicalmente, la pieza se apoya en una estructura minimalista, donde la repetición de motivos melódicos y la ausencia de resoluciones claras generan una atmósfera de suspensión. La voz, etérea y casi susurrada, recita frases con un fraseo pausado y delicado, transmitiendo la dulzura y la inevitabilidad de la muerte sin recurrir al dramatismo excesivo. Los instrumentos (violín, guitarra eléctrica y piano) actúan como sombras sonoras que envuelven el texto sin imponerse, sugiriendo más que afirmando, dejando que el vacío y el silencio sean tan importantes como las notas mismas.
El texto es quizás el aspecto más impactante de la pieza. "You will return to dust, you will turn" resuena como un eco de la mortalidad humana, pero sin desesperación; más bien, con la calma de quien acepta su destino. La Muerte, aquí, no es un castigo ni un evento trágico, sino un retorno, un descanso merecido. "Where I am now, all sorrow is gone" no solo consuela, sino que invita a abrazar la idea de que el final de la vida es también el fin del sufrimiento. En este sentido, Lang no dramatiza la muerte, sino que la convierte en un susurro de consuelo, una presencia siempre cercana que espera pacientemente su momento.
"You Will Return" es una obra que desarma por su honestidad y su simplicidad. En un mundo donde la música suele ser grandilocuente y sobrecargada de emociones explícitas, Lang nos ofrece un espacio de quietud y reflexión. Es un recordatorio de que, al final, todos regresamos al mismo lugar, y que la muerte, lejos de ser un evento aterrador, puede ser un último abrazo que nos devuelve a la paz.
you will return to dust you will turn return to dustturn to the sun like me, turn to the sun turn to the light turn to the lightif there's an eye still open grieving sweet sleep close it for meturn your heart, your poor heart it will only find rest when it has stopped beatingturn to peace turn to peace this is the only road that leads you homeenterI am your pale companion I mirror your pain I was your shadow all those long nights, all those days long pastlisten to me this message is for you where I am now, all sorrow is gone where I am now, all lovers are together where I am now in my arms only will you find rest gentle rest
