Saille is a Belgian Symphonic black metal band, formed in 2009 by Dries Gaerdelen.
The word 'Saille' is derived from the old Irish alphabet Ogham and means willow.
Saille consistently incorporates real classical instruments (e.g. cello, violin, cornet, trumpet, euphonium) into their compositions, as well as strong influences from black metal. Their songs include both black screams and death growls, with every now and then even clean vocals.
Lyrically Saille handles ‘the fearful, the uncanny and the weird’. On earlier releases: Death rites and Forces of Nature. Saille has released three studio albums so far.
It started as a one person, one-time project by Dries Gaerdelen (keyboards). During the recordings of the debut album in 2009, the idea of a real live-band grew on him. A complete band was formed in the summer of 2010. The collaboration with Jonathan Vanderwal (guitar/vocals) was a logical result of their longstanding cooperation in previous activities. Shortly after Gert Monden (drums) was added to the line-up. They met Reinier Schenk (guitar) during the recording sessions in the studio and he also became a member of the band.
Sail or Saille is the Irish name of the fourth letter of the Ogham alphabet, ᚄ, meaning "willow". The name is related to Welsh helyg(en) and Latin salix. Its Proto-Indo-European root was *sal-. Its phonetic value is [s].
In the medieval kennings, called Bríatharogam or Word Ogham the verses associated with sail are:
lí ambi - "pallor of a lifeless one" (Word Ogham of Morann mic Moín)
lúth bech - "sustenance of bees" (Word Ogham of Mac ind Óc)
tosach mela - "beginning of honey" (Word Ogham of Culainn)
Everyone says you're amazing
Say you don't know how to do it now, so you run
It's not that you're bleeding
But you're through with it now, so you run, so you run
I know that you need it, you can't live alone
So you run, so you run
Everyone says you're amazing now that you're clean
But only you know the real ones are 'cause you've seen
There's only one question I want to ask is it here and
When you hear everyone say you're amazing
Does anyone ask you?
Do you cry in your sleep and do you feel okay
When you run?
Thinking it's Doomsday you got to let it go
So you run, so you run
Pretend you don't see it, that we can live a lie
When you run, so you run
Everyone says you're amazing now that you're clean
Only you know the real ones are 'cause you've seen
There's only one question I want to ask is it here and
When, when you hear everyone say you're amazing
Does anyone ask you?
'Cause I know that you're real
Amazing, amazing, amazing
Everyone says you're amazing now that you're clean
Only you know the real ones are because you have seen
There's only one question I want to ask is it here and
When you hear, everyone says you're amazing
Everyone says you're amazing
(I want you to always feel you're amazing)
Everyone says you're amazing
(I want you to always feel you're amazing)
I want you to always feel you're amazing
