Underwater

Like a diary written on wet paper, this song smells of salt, loneliness and the moon. It conveys the feeling of a person who is drowning not in water, but in their own transparency, shouting into space, but the echo does not return. Each word is like an air bubble that rises to the surface and bursts, leaving no trace.

The music gently rocks like a wave: it comforts a little, lulls a little, but does not let you forget the cold bottom. There are no dramatic gestures here, only a quiet request to be noticed and a slight envy of the water itself - at least it knows how to embrace. Everything sounds as if sadness has learned to be beautiful and weightless.
