Adrian von Ziegler - Evening Breeze
This song begins with the brightness of daytime, full of innocence and joy. As it moves forward, it darkens and becomes more tense, ominous, and melancholic. The owls and crickets seem to replace the birds. It feels like the sadness of a day that has ended, with only the weight of night remaining, as the sky closes like a coffin around its final traces of light.
Asha - Sailing on the Silk Blue Sea
An old man looks at you, planning to say something, but just shrugs it off. Fatalism pervades his mind, because he knows things will never change. Rest assured: this is the way it has always been and there will never be any other way, whether you want it or not.
Opez - Italiana
The inner psychology of a Catholic begins with a well-kept, ordered, organic mind. Will and reason spiritually aligned and focused on truth, beauty, and reality. But life moves in seasons, and corruption comes in waves of varying intensity. Reality seems to unravel and be pulled from beneath one’s feet. An immense, deep, dark abyss of lies draws one in. That same healthy mind degrades, becoming fixated on sensual, material reality, symbolized by the woman’s singing, or by the cracks of ignorance in an armor of reason and will, representented by the distorted digital juxtaposition. Yet when all seems lost, things calm again. The song ends with the struggle unresolved. The struggle will indeed not end anytime soon.
