Pensivity, the musical project of Ramgopal Krishnaraju, invites listeners on an enchanting and deeply personal journey with his latest song, ‘Poèmes éternels‘. As a multifaceted artist, Ram, who also works as a Software Developer for Amazon, merges his technical expertise with his artistic passions. With a background in composing music for a feature film in India and creating works for theaters in Seattle, Pensivity brings a unique, global perspective to his music. ‘Poèmes éternels‘ represents a new chapter in his artistic evolution, one that explores the beauty and complexity of nostalgic memories through the lens of French pop. This marks a significant shift from his previous releases, which have mainly been instrumental and Tamil pop music. The addition of the French language gives the song a fresh and poetic dimension, drawing listeners into a world of hauntingly beautiful reflections.
The lyrics of ‘Poèmes éternels‘ evoke a sense of longing and introspection. Pensivity writes about the duality of good and bad experiences, and how memories, though beautiful, are often seen through an illusionary lens. The song’s translation adds to this idea, with lines like, “On this beautiful tree, I wrote eternal poems, and in the waves, I created mirages of dust” giving a sense of longing for past moments that exist only in memory. These poetic lyrics are brought to life in the lyric video, which features a blend of abstract and illusionary imagery, creating a space for viewers to let their imaginations wander. Nature plays a central role in the video, with visuals like the sun peeking through the trees, rippling water and starry nights. The dynamic RGB split effect adds a sense of movement and transformation, as if the song itself is alive and evolving, much like the memories it describes.
Pensivity’s decision to create a lyric video stems from his desire to maintain audience engagement while showcasing the poetic and mystical nature of the song. A lyric video allows for an immersive experience, giving the audience a chance to connect with the song’s meaning through both sound and sight. The video’s mysterious and magical atmosphere, with visuals like birds flying through the sky, encapsulates the song’s themes of transformation and renewal. In Pensivity’s words, the video reflects “the beauty and magic of nature, transforming what is dead into life” and offers a space for listeners to explore the concept of entering into a new dimension of life, full of joy and vitality. The birds flying represent freedom, movement and a sense of life taking flight. This is a perfect visual metaphor for the song’s underlying themes of memories and dreams that are ever-changing, like the flight of birds in the sky.
The collaboration with lyricist and singer IRIS (Marion Doncoeur), alongside synths and mixing by Bes Eirid, brings a full range of emotions to the track. Marion’s vocals add a layer of softness and depth to the song, adding to the emotional journey. The visuals in the video harmonize beautifully with the song’s introspective lyrics. Whether it’s the moonlit shore or the peaceful, quiet forest, each visual connects deeply with the core themes.
For emerging artists like Pensivity, lyric videos, professional music videos and visualizers are more than just supplementary content, they are powerful tools for building a loyal fanbase and gaining visibility in a crowded market. In today’s digital world, content is key to getting your music heard. Lyric videos provide a unique opportunity for artists to share their music in a visually compelling way without the heavy costs associated with full-fledged music videos. These videos can be shared across all social media platforms, allowing artists to reach wider audiences and engage fans more directly.
Moreover, lyric videos and visualizers offer up-and-coming artists the chance to showcase their creativity in ways that are not only affordable but also highly impactful. Compared to traditional music videos, they are far less expensive to produce, as they often rely on animated visuals or illustrations rather than complex live-action scenes. This makes them an accessible option for artists looking to create professional-level content without breaking the bank. Additionally, these visuals can be repurposed for social media ads, promotional campaigns and other digital content. This amplifies their reach and provides more opportunities for engagement with fans.
Looking ahead: Pensivity has big plans, with a Symphony, several String quartets and more French pop songs set to be released in the coming months. His journey is just beginning and he’s eager to continue exploring new musical territories. As an independent artist, Pensivity emphasizes the importance of community and listener support in helping to grow his career. Sharing music, engaging with fans and creating visually captivating content all play a vital role in his success.
