The Aftermath

From album: 
The Underliving

"The Aftermath" is a song included in "The Underliving", it's linked to other songs "Storm" and "The Wind song" and it is about the stillness after a storm that is perceived as lifeless and how it summons again the wind. In The Underliving the sounds of the wind is one of the ways this creatures communicate with the living.  I played here quite a lot of instruments: kantele, psaltery, flutes, bowed glasses, koshi chimes, hammered dulcimer, jouhikko, tibetan bowl,  oscar tribalthunder, and wind is made with an double ocarina and a windband roarer to create this eerie yet pacifying atmosphere.

Lyrics: 

Kill this lifeless stillness
that set ablaze my sorrows
Hum once more this lull song
and rock me back to sleep

Rise your cries and whispers
Fight resentful silence
and scare the muted advent
of the Aftermath

Lyrics translation: 

Acaba con esta inerte tranquilidad
que enciende mis penas
Tararea una vez más  esa nana
que me acuna hasta que vuelve a dormir


Alza tus llantos y susurros
Lucha contra el resentido silencio
y espanta el silencioso advenimiento
de la calma tras la tormenta
