Many people doubted les jeunes mélancoliques would become more than yet another idea – our generation doesn't like to take matters into their hands, they said. Look at us now, and what we've achieved ... http://www.lesjeunesmelancoliques.org/2008/02/our-first-anniversary/ We have put up a selection of videoclips from the reading last Thursday. You can now watch the following clips: Sara reads “das verlorengegangene Lebensgefühl” Joël Adami reads “teenage angst has pissed off well, I think” Thierry Heles reads “Les jeunes mélancoliques – Ein Entwurf” They can all be found under Events. As the whole ... http://www.lesjeunesmelancoliques.org/2007/12/videos-online/ First of all we'd like to thank all of you who came to our very first reading last night, and thank you for your feedback. It was an amazing experience and we felt very lucky that our young movement already appeals to so many people. There's one person who deserves ... http://www.lesjeunesmelancoliques.org/2007/12/pictures-are-now-online/ Three members of les jeunes mélancoliques, namely Sara, Joël Adami, and Thierry Heles, will be reading a selection of short stories, poems and essays at the D:qliq tonight.

The best way ... http://www.lesjeunesmelancoliques.org/2007/12/website-launched/ At the time I didn't understand why, but during the whole two hours of my flight from Berlin to Glasgow the Italian version of the saying "while there's life, there's hope" was racing through my head: "Finché c'è vita, c'è speranza." The fact that it was Italian was probably due ... http://www.lesjeunesmelancoliques.org/2007/12/of-lives-past/ I’ll paint a picture with autumn leaves, carve our names into a bench, or our initials, with a heart around them. I’ll dance in the rain and laugh, smile all day long for no particular reason, crack up when we’re apart, go loopy when we’re not. I’ll make you a mixtape like they used to and put pictures ... http://www.lesjeunesmelancoliques.org/2007/12/it-lasts-the-length-of-seven-songs/ Die Liebe ist wahrlich ein komisches Ding. Du kriegst es verdammt nochmal nicht kaputt, egal wie lange und hart du drauf haust. Ist das gut? Ist das schlecht? Wer weiss das schon, aber nervig ist es allemal.

Sie bleibt unzerstörbar, aber sie ändert sich. ... http://www.lesjeunesmelancoliques.org/2007/12/kunst-ist-tod/ Purple rain out of bleeding clouds, Decayed leaves on trees black all over, Squalid districts in a deserted town, Starving child under a rotten bench. A crippled human walking past The ruins of a crashed mall, A deadened soul creeping through The foul mud left behind. Echoes of poltergeists moaning, Much cry and little wool, They have already bitten the ... http://www.lesjeunesmelancoliques.org/2007/12/inane/ Unsere Generation leidet unter der Emobewegung. Teenager, die sich von der Welt verlassen fühlen und die sich dem Hass und der Ignoranz von allem und jedem ausgesetzt sehen.
