  I don't know why we are here, but I'm pretty sure that it is not in order to enjoy ourselves

A wonderful email arrived the other day from musical artist and videographer, Eka who is based most of the time in Paris. Her last single, Ash impressed me so I’m thrilled to receive new music from this accomplished artist. About her new work Eka says, “It’s kind of 90s feeling” and on her website, she writes, “I don’t know why we are here, but I’m pretty sure that it is not in order to enjoy ourselves”. Eka’s sullen tone undermines her ability to make important music. From her recent EP,  White Nights I selected Ghost Bird (I Think Of You) and Insomnia. Yes, I’m a fan of Eka.

There is a strange glow beyond the clouds, I feel estranged from sorrow while birds fly south.  Every change of season paints us in gray and gives birth to the phantoms of life decay.  Меня теснят такие странные мысли (Strange thoughts haunt me) такие темные ощущения (Such a dark feeling) ни хотения, ни силы (Neither desire nor strength)…выйти из ночи (Come out of the night)

Video footage from "Nostalghia" directed by Andrei Tarkovsky (1983) 

I wait for the rain to leave the sky and fade away with all the ghosts ... We are shapes in the night, from the moon flows the bleakest light. We sway and die in the cold air, it's the onset of winter and our souls are bare.

Eu não sei o que fazer agora que você foi embora. Tudo me parece ser da mesma cor, de luz escura.

I wake up shivering in the morning wind. Silence leaks from walls and drops like crystalline salt in my open wound, I call your name but you're not around anymore.

Eu não sei como trazer você enfim de volta pra mim

How come sour times always rewind? We sit for hours with no words in mind. If I want to, I can bruise you. No body moves behind the door, two is enough to start a war...  You can turn your head, you can run ahead, or you can close your eyes and curl up in your lies,  I don't care... I won't disappear to alleviate your fear.  So you'll suffer an ordinary blight. You'll shine and after, you'll fade out from the light.  You can shake your head, deny you're almost dead and stand with opened eyes 'til you can't hold your cries..I don’t care.
