about
Once again, as the dark clouds of war appear to be forming over Europe.
An avoidable situation seems to be cascading into the unavoidable.
We watch from a distance.
This heartfelt plea to friends, as we wait for their decision.
The damage has been done, still, we can’t let love turn to fear.
The derelict relationship between friends not knowing which road to take, brings confusion and uncertainty.
They each know that someone is going to get hurt.
All those things we hold dear to our hearts, could be devastated by the decision of another.
While, their friends and family are the ones who have to choose sides and live with the consequences in the aftermath.
Who will carry the burden of responsibility? Who will be the couriers of peace?
This is the first release by Alanas Chosnau & Mark Reeder, sung in Lithuanaian.
It is a song from the heart, a plea for love and peace between friends.
lyrics
ŠIRDIS
Laukiu atsiliepk
Laukiu atsiliepk
Laukiu atsiliepk
Giriomis atsidusk
Būna žinoma, žinoma
Naktis per trumpa
Sakau tu esi
Savaip tobula
Būna žinoma, žinoma
Dingsti staiga
Kojos kelyje
Kelias žemėje
Mylimas žmogus
Kiekvieno mintyse
Lauki ar vilies
Jau tikėdamas
Čia ir tenai
Dabar ar niekada
Užmerkiu akis
Tu stovi šalia
Būna žinoma, žinoma
Blaškaus minioje
Prašau tik pakilk
Minčių neklausyk
Būna žinoma, žinoma
Kita diena
Dangau
Nežinau
Ar tikėti pagaliau
Dangau
Nežinau
Atsakyk tavęs prašau
English Translation:
ŠIRDIS (HEART)
I'm waiting, respond to me
I'm waiting, respond to me
I'm waiting, respond to me
Sigh in the woods
It happens of course, of course
The night is too short
I say you are
Perfect in your own way
It happens of course, of course
You disappear suddenly
Feet on the road
Road on the earth
Loved ones
Is on everybody's mind
You wait, or hope
Already believing
Here and there
Now, or never
I close my eyes
You stand next to me
It happens of course, of course
I’m lost in the crowd
Please just get up
Don't listen to your thoughts
It happens of course, of course
There is always another day
Heaven
I don't know
Should I believe at last?
Heaven
I don't know
Answer me please
Feet on the road
Road on the earth
Loved ones
Is on everybody's mind
You wait, or hope
Already believing
Here and there
Now, or never
I'm waiting, respond to me
I'm waiting, respond to me

I also produced the STOLEN Fragment album and I released it on MFS. STOLEN are a great band from Chengdu, spearheading the sound of young China with their super, surrealistic sinographic style. Alanas Chosnau & Mark Reeder
Zachery paints a prophetic picture of a dystopian New York with this album. It's rough around the edges, but it is exactly that which gives its charm. No frills... just fear. Alanas Chosnau & Mark Reeder
Jennifer displays her more experimental side with this album after her retropoppy Chemistry single. It's well worth the listen though, as it shows how diverse she is. Alanas Chosnau & Mark Reeder
