Jurgis Did ft. Obelija - Rolling Waves LIVE @ ZIP FM HD

—// lyrics //-- I hear rolling waves pounding in my head… Sing a song for me from long ago Braids of velvet sound that swell and flow Who’s to say this tune is yours or mine Whispers that transcend the test of time I hear rolling waves pounding in my head… Songbird sing a song that we all know Where you learned that tune, you don’t even know Written in the wind and on the waves Whisper ‘tween your ears that don’t behave web: http://jurgisdid.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jurgisdid — // about // — Songs are meant to be sung. We take them for granted as they blare out our speakers and ooze through our earbuds, but often forget that the original journey of a song was very different from what we know today. A song begins as intention. A whisper in our subconscious. An emotion that takes the shape of sound. It rolls off of your vocal chords, fills a space, weaves itself with other sounds, and returns through your ears. The song is repeated. It evolves. Other people catch the contagion and begin to sing it. It comes back to the origin and grows more, but by then it is no longer belongs to anyone.

It is a spell that requires people to perform the incantation together. It is a song that invites you to sing - find a voice; a note or a phrase, and play with it for the sake of interaction. It encourages you to listen to others, become aware of the sounds that they are emitting and conscientiously tune yourself to the surroundings. It encourages you to sing with others and find a space amongst other voices. It is a reminder that it is in our nature to be intimately musical; that we can bask in a state of musicality rather than just consume it passively. This song is also about ethnic roots, cultural heritage, and emigration. On February 16th, 2018 Lithuania celebrates 100years of statehood, an auspicious occasion to consider what culturural and patriotic affiliations mean to us. I personally believe that this sort of identity is something that belongs to the people rather than the state and its institutions. But if the people want to own it, we need to seize it, and practice it. Lithuanians were in
