I, myself may not even understand what I am singing about at the time of creation. When a melody and lyrics play strongly in my head at the same time I know the studio is calling and this song needs to be let out. Hold Your Breath is a good example of this. I have found multidimensional meanings for it but perhaps the strongest view is about collective anxiety caused by the current world situation. Everyone is holding breath, no one knows what the future will bring when it comes. Uncertainty is the heaviest travel companion and one cannot live with it completely carefree. The only thing we can root ourselves in at this moment is breathing. The song also raises the question of where that anxiety is built - who owns my roar? This two-year period has certainly changed something in all of us. Not only have we got stuck in our homes, we are certainly encapsulated in ourselves as well. In such a world situation it is important to outline which things are the ones we can influence ourselves and which are the ones where we have no power to choose, so we can only breathe and trust in the future.” -Blackbird more

Nothing changes if nothing changes. We are reborn many times during this life. At least if we give it a chance. Lifelong growth means constant self-renewal. New versions of yourself. Past updates are already gone. more

The world is moving at a rapid pace with a point of shouting culture. Shouting never stops listening to what the other is trying to say, but tries to make your own voice sound louder. How can we think that world wars will end if we do not know how to end the quarrel with our closest people? Stop for a moment, talk to me. Perhaps the only voice that has the power to stop fighting is the voice of a child. A pure voice in the middle of the controversy of being right.more
