ABOUT THE SONG
The lyrics can be interpreted broadly, as it attempts to articulate the experience of crisis in general. The focus can be on individual pain or romantic heartbreak, but also a collective story. The two verses express current hopelessness, the bridge before the chorus evokes the past golden age, a kind of paradise, and the chorus tries to look into the future with hope despite all the difficulties.
THE ARTIST
Blahalouisiana began as a beloved club act and has since grown into one of Hungary’s most prominent festival bands. Blending beat-rock with soul and pop, the band has built a distinctive sound and a strong live presence that has taken them from intimate venues to the main stages of the country’s biggest festivals.
