W / X / Y

The song smells of freshly washed laundry and midday sun lazily streaming down the walls. It speaks not only of love, but also of habits - those funny little things like scattered belongings, sudden hugs from behind, and morning phone calls to wake you up. This is not cinematic passion, but domestic comfort, where ‘we’ is made up of little “you” and ‘me,’ and quarrels dissolve into laughter and a shared cup of tea.

It sounds like the gentle rhythm of everyday life: slow but steady, like steps along the same route, where every day is still a little different. There are no loud declarations in it - only the certainty that even after decades, you want to laugh together, share the hard and the easy equally, and whisper ‘I'll protect you’ not because you have to, but because you want to.
