Empire Of Sorrows

11/05/2013

The creation of the song “Empire Of Sorrows” has been a defining moment for the heart and soul of what “Between Illness and Migration” was about to become. The inspiration came spontaneously and words took place in a pure and natural way, over the noises floating around. We didn’t know at the time that “Empire Of Sorrows” would become the heartfelt foundation of the album. A unique song that became the starting point of an album that unfolded itself as being a life journey rather than a collection of great songs assembled in a spiritual fashion, true heart and soul rather than self-proclaimed incarnation of “cool” and self-absorbed songwriting ambitions. That’s what “Between illness And Migration” is all about. Here’s a short video of “Empire Of Sorrows” that I wanted to share with you all. There’s nothing like the “live” performance of a song to understand a little more of what it is about… at least that’s how it is for me…
