Expected on April 12 at the cinema, “Dungeons and Dragons: the honor of thieves” reveals its French-speaking title song, “L’Emprise”, written and performed by Mylène Farmer.
“Strong is its grip at night, amphetamine dose…” Thus begins the song The influence, written and sung by Mylène Farmer to music by Woodkid. This piece, eagerly awaited by fans since the surprise announcement a few days ago, will accompany Dungeons & Dragons the honor of thieves in French cinemas from April 12, but also in about fifteen French-speaking countries between Africa , Europe and North America.
The feature film, inspired by the famous board game, brings a breath of fresh air to fantasy thanks in particular to its cheerful band led by Chris Pine, Michelle Rodriguez, Regé-Jean Page and Hugh Grant. It was presented in preview this evening in Paris, in the presence of the team, and it is in this context that the clip of The influencewhich mixes sequences from the film and very sober shots of the singer on stage, directed by François Hanss.
Dungeons & Dragons: after the film, a live action series in preparation
Mylène Farmer, very rare in the cinema (Ghostland, Arthur and the Minimoys), is even more so on cinema songs since her last interpretation of a title for the 7th Art dates back to 2007 and Ahead, which accompanied Jacquou le croquant with Gaspard Ulliel. She now lends her inimitable stamp to the franchise D&Dwhose international release will feature a track from Australian band Tame Impala.
Check out the music video and lyrics The influence below :
Strong is his grip at night, dose amphetamine
His strength ignores any respite, invades my mind
And it’s more than a haunting obsession, a wave of sound
I count the stigmata of life, come to mind
That love is stronger than anything
Whether in red or black
That love is stronger than anything
As much sex as despair
The grip is marabout
Checkmate, on your knees
But adventure is a reign
Mixture of gold, light
But adventure is fleeting
Time counted on this earth
Strong is his grip at night, adrenaline dose
His strength faces my boredom, invades my mind
It’s more than a haunting obsession, a wave of sound
I break the chains that unite with my ills of mind
That love is stronger than anything
Whether in red or black
That love is stronger than anything
So much sex, so much hope
The grip is marabout
Checkmate, on your knees
But adventure is a reign
Mixture of gold, light
But adventure is fleeting
Time counted on this earth
