uli_p I love this track because of its ambient-y start, then "istanbul, today ,,,," - the voice wakes me up into the dark deep wonderful soul of Black Sea Dahu.

about

With 'Transience' Black Sea Dahu release a single that tells about the mystery of time and a lost love. Janine lets us in on how your life can change when you're on tour for a long time: the longing for intimacy, the isolation, how it feels when you lose touch with yourself and the places and people that are your roots, when you get lost between reality and dream. While the guitar and the harmonium swing hypnotically and the piano plays almost film-music-like interludes, Janine's singing is embraced by an orchestra and carried to the end. The song is framed with mesmerizing tape sounds that make you feel like time expands. Out of all the lost loves, the one that remains is music.

lyrics

Istanbul today
You said on the phone
But I'm barely awake
You’ve been away for too long
My love I’ve gone strange
White birds falling down from the sky
Into the riverbed filled with ink
It swallowed up all light
And I will be snowed in as of tonight
I haven’t been outside for days

If they’re looking to be entertained
I wonder who they came for
Now everything I have left is on this stage
We load the car and drive off to any goddamn place
Last night in my sleep I climbed out the window
Saw a red tree glowing, floating in the air
Oh ooh oh oh oh
I keep the thought of you a flame

How will I survive in this world gone mad?
There’s no way now to find you, to find you
No human touch can bring me there
Now music takes me places oh just like you, just like you

How will I survive in this world gone mad?
There’s no way now to find you, to find you
No human touch can bring me there
Now music takes me places oh just like you, just like you

How will I survive in this world gone mad?
There’s no way I can find you, find you
No human torch can bring me where music takes me
Places oh just like you, oh just like you
