about

idea and initial recording: 2nd half of September, 2017 in a one-bedroom apartment on Dirigentgatan 4, Gothenburg, Sweden and in the subways of New York City.

inspiration: during a period of two weeks my boyfriend was away in NYC. instead of calling and trying to describe everything in words, he would send me recordings of the places he went to every day. every time I listened to them I felt like I was transported there myself. so I wrote this song about my/our trip. you can also hear one of the recordings in this composition, as the main drone and base of the arrangement.
I also watched ”Grey Gardens” during this period, where the activity happens to take place in the same area, on Long Island, NY. it increased the sensation of mind-traveling that I was going through even more. in the second verse (the only one in English), I quote Edie as she throws her scarf down from the balcony.

lyrics

hommikuhall
su pea soojus veel tund tagasi siinsamas padjal
nagu ka viiskümmend ja sada aastat
ja igavesti tagasi
ja edasi

this is a sea of leaves
a complete sea of leaves
if you lose something you can't find it – it drops down to the bottom

kask tantsib, kui sind suudlen
tule juba,
tee jahtub
