What emotions go through a migrant’s heart as they realize they are alone, far away from home? The amount of courage it takes to open their heart to a new life, find new love is unfathomable, yet it's possible when strangers extend a hand amidst the affliction of having lost everything. They are Born Today, on the day they face their new life with new fears and dreams. This song is a cry for help that is full of hope and trust in the human spirit of love, compassion and empathy.
Water, as an element is the only matter that connects everything alive. I believe that water has memory - it’s collected information about everything since its existence, that makes it the wisest element. The message of it - love is the only way for everything. On a technical level in the piece - we have two “forces” in constant dialog: one, represented by piano, is well structured, thoughtful and calculated. Another (bouzouki) - is spontaneous, eruptive, emotional and unstable. The interaction of these two is creating the perfect balance.
