Soror Dolorosa - Tear It Up

“This is the opening track of the album and this magic song was composed in a one cut from Jean-Baptiste Marquet’s composition to the sudden apparition of lyrics, made in one take. We can say that it marks the position of Jean-Baptiste as a composer in the nebula of the new album, because he just joined the band in 2018, after the release of ‘Apollo’. The song’s lyrics are about the acceptance of the childhood traumas and the transcendence we can reach - if we take the time and decide to face it. Choosing it as the first single and video clip for ‘Mond’ was evident to us. When we talked to Mathilde, the actress of the video, she came straight to us and said: this song is made for me! We had an unforgettable moment playing onstage at ‘La Maison des Choeurs’ in Montpellier in October 2023 and we decided to come back to this wonderful 17th century neo-classical church, for making the ‘Tear It Up’ video and shoot the new promo pictures.” --- Andy Julia / Soror Dolorosa Video credits: Director: Liv Weiss Producer: Mathilde Richard, Andy Julia Actors: Mathilde Richard, Mallory Julia Band Members: Andy Julia, Hervé Carles, Jean-Baptsite Marquet, Xavier Pinel Location: La Maison des Choeurs, Montpellier Scriptwriter: Andy Julia Director of Photography: Liv Weiss Light Operator: Laurent Dubuc Makeup Artist: Manon Maurin Editor, Colorist, VFX: Liv Weiss Sound Design: James Kent Lyrics: Saying goodbye to a careless whisper The room is cold in this last winter Not a tear or a smiling candor to put down the precious shroud The one you always hoped to see On the tormentor of your adolescence, that life kills Tear it up, tear it up You’ll see the scars coming from the old times Waking up, don’t give a fuck and you’ll be more than any other getting back to the wild Open your eyes to brighter skies Without the joke carried on your shoulders What matters most is how well you walk through the fire You couldn’t really say goodbye to him Is this something that is really possible to do? Only death knows who and when to give the last kiss to So, clench your fist and pull on the shroud Tear it up, tear it up You’ll see the scar coming from the old times Waking up, don’t give a fuck and you’ll be more than any other getting back to the wild Open your eyes to brighter skies Without the joke carried on your shoulders What matters most is how well you walk through the fire Tear it up, tear it up Tear it up, tear it up Tear it up, tear it up Tear it up, tear it up You walk through the fire Tear it up, tear it up You’ll see the scar Tear it up, tear it up You’ll see the scar Tear it up, tear it up You’ll see the scar Tear it up, tear it up You walk through the fire
