La città degli occhi

Carolina Heredia, composer
Performed by Alarm Will Sound

Live at the Mizzou International Composers Festival, July 29, 2017

Notes from the composer:
In Spanish there are two verbs for the English verb “to be”, one is ser (to be) and the other one is estar (to be). The difference between the two is the quality of permanence: estar is a transitory state, an accidental element of being, while ser is permanent, ex. I am (ser) a human being, I am (estar) tired. The Spanish word esencia (essence) is descriptive of the ser verb form, the true nature of anything, not accidental or illusory (Merrian-Webster).

I find myself thinking about this a lot in times of change. Living in another country demands an immense effort for adaptation, in which one of the dangers -and almost unavoidable stage- is the feeling of losing oneself. Being at a distance with all the elements that made me myself: my culture, my family, my mother language, made me value all the small-things, those moments, places, persons that have now became lucid memories that I jealously treasure. And, aren’t we all just memories? Those instants that we chose to keep at the surface, and even the ones that remain deep inside, hidden, they shape our being, our feelings, our responses, they become our essence.

Make it Out is a song about feeling stuck in daily motions and the low points that coincide with that, but holding on to the hope that things will turn around in time. It's about the little things that get you by.

Raudonas Mėnulis

Yra šalis, kur vilkai laksto,
Ten raudonas mėnulis negęsta.
Šalnos ten nusieja mišką,
Šaltos pėdos subraižytos liečia žemę.

Aš tyliu, ramiai žvelgiu,
       mėnulis kyla — 
         jis raudonas... 

Šiąnakt lietus virs į ledo krislus,
Jie padengs mano mažą pasaulį,
Jie įsmigs tau į širdį,
Bet raudonas mėnulis neužges.

(Aš tyliu... x2)

Tik žolė pilka priglaus mano sielą,
Tik vilkai sugaus mano mintį.

(Aš tyliu...)

Translation:

There is a land, where wolves are wandering,
Red moon is shining there,
The frost covers the woods in there,
Cold scratched feet touch that ground.

I'm all still, I look tranquilly —
the moon is rising,
it's all red...

Tonight rain will turn into crystals of ice,
They will cover my small world,
They will sink into your heart,
But the red moon won't fade out...

(I'm all still...)

Only the grey grass will shelter my soul,
Only the wolves will catch my thoughts.

(I'm all still...)
