Doubts - Alephant

Over the last couple of weeks, no new tracks not already featured here were screaming at me demanding Noonday Tune attention. While listening to an old playlist from 2014, a track came on which I’ve given extensive airtime to, yet never heard mentioned by anyone else. 

Alephant are a band out of Turin, Italy, who cite Scottish and Californian alternative rock as their main influences, with a bit of Biffy Clyro evident in their sound. With only 103 subscribers on YouTube and 25 followers on SoundCloud, it’s time they got a bit more love.

If you enjoy it, head over to their Bandcamp page and show get our hands on the EP: https://alephant.bandcamp.com/album/alephant-ep

Just A Slogan

If calling life a dream reduces tension for some people, does that indicate insight about reality or simply a coping mechanism of the mind?

If life were truly a dream in the same sense as night dreams, you should be able to wake up from it into another state. But that does not happen because the comparison is inaccurate. Night dreams are internally generated simulations with weak external constraints. Waking life is a biological system interacting with an environment governed by physical laws. The organism cannot simply exit that system because the brain generating the experience is itself part of the system. There is no higher layer waiting above it in the way the metaphor suggests.

In other words, the slogan collapses two different ideas into one. Yes, experience is constructed. No, that does not mean it is optional or easily replaced with a better version. The brain is not a viewer inside a dream that can press an exit button; it is the mechanism producing the model while being embedded in the world it models.

When people say “life is a dream,” what they usually mean is that the mind exaggerates importance, builds narratives, and reacts as if everything were ultimate. Understanding this can reduce unnecessary mental noise. But it does not mean reality becomes flexible or that suffering disappears on command.

So the reason you cannot wake into a better dream is simple and unsentimental, the organism is not inside a detachable illusion. It is a biological process running a model because that is the only way it can operate.The slogan sounds profound, but most of the time it is just philosophy compressed until it loses its structure. Clarity tends to appear when metaphors are dismantled.

"Alephant" by Alephant

“Alephant” by Alephant

di Umberto Damigiano

Gli Alephant sono un gruppo Alternative Rock di Torino nato nel 2013; il nome della band deriva Aleph, la prima lettera dell’alfabeto ebraico, lettera che spesso viene accomunata a concetti di origine, nascita e creazione. Ed è proprio questo che il trio torinese vuole identificare nella propria musica. (more…)

Alephant - The Moon and the Sun

The Sun says to the Moon:

"I'm a lonely speaker

in the morning sky

I look around and I 

realize

I see the trace of your light

completely gone

I'm a daily dreamer 

in the shining night

but I wake up and I

realize

the things I see in my nights

are completely lost

you're so cold that I might freeze

so small that I might trip

I know my heart but I

realize

I saw the moon in your eyes

but now it's gone

I've picked up all these million pieces 

only because there is always one left

forever spinning in circle

trying to see you from the start

I'm leaving 

you better not catch me if I run

your better not don't tie me down

Because I am leaving 

'cause it's now of nevermore

for the moments that I left undone

I believe your end is where I start

I'm a dumb believer

in a smiling lie

I'll blow it up cause I 

realized

your dust is all I can find

from dusk to dawn

you're so cold that I might freeze

so small that I might trip

I'll blow it up cause the

reason why

I've made day out of night

was completely wrong

I've been keeping up all these million pieces

only because there was hope at sunset

forever spinning in circle

but now it's time to make it stop

I'm leaving 

you better not catch me if I run

your better not don't tie me down

Because I'm leaving 

'cause it's now of nevermore

for the moments that I left undone

I believe your end is where I start

I'll blow it up

with everything inside "
