about

This song is about dealing with the loss of someone. How the feeling of their embrace or the sound of their voice can still linger long after they’ve left.
I dug out this composition from my archives and updated it to its current form. The first version was only the a cappella part, from 2019. Then when I noticed that we need more minutes for the record so that it won't become an EP, I started developing this song by combining a new idea with an old idea. Johannes Granroth sings the bass harmonies in the a cappella part!

lyrics

Tears of Silk, Hugs of Velvet

In the dark, intertwined
I’ll hold you 'til you fall asleep

We have a few hours, but we stay in denial
Pretend that time will wait

In your eyes, fading light
I know you won't be mine to keep

I stand at the station 'til the train's out of vision
And long after you're gone

I can still feel it all
My tears of silk, your hugs of velvet
Blend into each other
Sound of your voice, echo in my ears
Like waves under water
Stare at the lights with blurry eyes
My heart is crying
I can still feel it all
