Homam

by Lucie Dehli

/
  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    The design of the album Homam is the result of a collaboration between the talented photographer Juliette Jacobs and the designer and typographer Mickaël Hoebregs. More than the style itself or the esthetic, this cover is an artistic concept, close to the work of Neville Brody who was the mentor of Mickaël Hoebregs for his thesis "Recherche & développements d'Architypes contemporains". The ballet of curves, lights, letters, will delicately take your hand to enter Lucie Dehli's musical world.

    Includes unlimited streaming of Homam via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

When nothing is right or wrong When no one is light or shadow When you think that I go wrong (There’s) no need to say it with arrows When you’re standing there with your glowing smile Every moth will fly ‘round your sorrow And when I feel I can give you all my heart All you give back is a broken soul Now, I’m running so wild I may be right or wrong Now, you’re closing your eyes You may be right or wrong I’m walking away from home That’s the best thing I can do I left you on the crossroad And the devil came to you Did you bend or did you break Did you step into the ring though it was too late ‘Cause love I’m giving you back your pain Now, I’m running so wild I might be right or wrong Now, you’re closing your eyes You may be right or wrong

Oh things to love In this bright world of ours By every way-side High coloured flowers There are bright skies And gorgeous clouds We love them all for all are gifts From one kind parent’s hand Root my will in your soil And ground my purpose in the stones Of beauty in the earth below Or in the heaven above That thus the tide of human grief So darkly o’er us rolls It is not that the earth is dark But that our eyes are dim It is not that god loves not us But that we love not him Root my will in your soil And ground my purpose in the stones Then let us keep within our hearts Love for all holy things And we shall find there is no place For dark imaginings Based on a poem written by Julia A. Fletcher “Things to love” 1935 (The Gospel Teacher and Sabbath School Contributor) and on the Pagan Earth evocation.

All our dreams build the earth A million hearts try, try again Sunny hours, golden fields Fire surging from an old scar The wind finds out my thoughts Carry them with the truth for guide I stand up, speak out, dance life It’s not Over On the music of the stars Round a black howling circle Then dive into this deep silence It’s not Over Green rain, black hands, grains, ghee, milk, incense, and seeds It’s not over

Oh… my darling is always fadin’ Oh… my all life is still blowin’ You say it’s so unbelievable It’s true And now, I can’t resist each of your appeals… you oh… You’re diving inside of me and it’s so good And everything is so real just as water, as water Can’t you see, You’re always in the dew Searching for a moment oh that we knew New deal you make with me New deal you make with me You’re just as real as water as real as water

All around the crows Sisters holding bows Awaking fate and sake Waving strength and faith Wings dispel all wonders When you spread your feathers Never leave me Fight inside me Never let me down You’re my power You’re the warrior I have never known Never leave hell What they call hell Is our power itself Wealthy girls Will walk besides you Sisters and comrades Wings are black as night Spirits burst to a shout In the night the shapes are glowing Feet banging the ground Bodies over the oceans Just like everything and nothing Ah ah ah… Sing all the battles you won ‘Cause you won them into the rain Dance all the fights you’ve given ‘cause they are meant to remain Shout all over the world How big your power is ‘cause it’s as big as your heart. Never let me down I had never known Such a warrior was inside me What they’re calling hell Is a shelter we built For the flames to stay away With the girls beside us We will make the world A land of inspiration Poetry will reign And our naked bodies Will cherish pride and beauty

about

Today, LUCIE DEHLI is coming out with her new album HOMAM as a solo musician, bringing us even closer to her meaningful themes, traveling between introspection and lightness.
She combines her classical background with her experimental creativity weaving links between the different Gnostic currents throughout the world.
HOMAM (also known as yajna or havan) is an Indian process of invoking a sacred fire with intentions of cleansing one’s self (material and spiritual), and the environment.
More than a classic album, HOMAM is an in-depth journey that should be listened to on headphones to tap into its multiple resources.
The music is a celebration of the elements and energies through rituals from all over the world such as the Japanese ritual of purification, Misogi.
And a celebration of femininity through the Great Queen of the sea, Morrigan.

On the tracks Misogi and Nyu you get to appreciate the Cello of Jo Quail, an internationally acclaimed composer and virtuoso cellist from London, UK. Lucie Dehli shares a long friendship and musical complicity with Jo Quail.
The last track of the album, Nyu (The fifth element) is dedicated to the powerful and moving voice of Jake Harding, Lucie’s alter ego on The Cartographer (composed and arranged by Jo Quail - 2021) a piece commissioned by the renowned Roadburn Festival, who hosted its premiere performance in April 2022 at the 013 venue in Tilburg.
Emile Bombard (Tin Can Soul), no other than Lucie Dehli’s son, is guest guitarist on The Sylph and the Lion.
Lee Lebens, who already collaborated with Lucie on Elephant Leaf, appears on this album as a guitarist on Nyu (The fifth element) and most of all as the sound engineer and co-producer of most of the tracks of the album. Lee is also Lucie's partner on stage to perform the album.

With HOMAM, Lucie gives us a link to create our connection to the soul of the world. Anyone who needs a guiding hand to be connected should definitely add this album to their library. Tina Todd (Poedes)
