10. FINLAND 2: Anders Spakling -“Waters”

“Waters”

Performed by: Anders Spakling
Music by: Otto Manninen
Lyrics by: Anders Spakling

Anders Spakling is a project combining illustrations, storytelling, technology and music. This song has been in the making for about a year before the HCSC and it has had many forms. At the late September 2020 it finally got, this time, maybe its final form.

“The song is exploring the ancient stories of the world forming from primal waters and sky. Lyrics are partly performed by an AI speech synthesis,” says composer Otto.

This is the first time for Otto and Anders in the competition. Welcome and best of luck!

Lyrics:

The Air Virgin, descends from the sky
To the waters.
The Maiden of air is known for healing charms
The Air Virgin, descends from the sky
To the waters, to the waters
To the waters, to the waters

Seeking a resting place, One day
The knee and the diver
Elements of creation from chaos
The Air Virgin, descends from the sky

A new world, hide inside the mind, somewhere
The primordial shepherds were here before
The Air Virgin, descends from the sky

To the waters, to the waters
To the waters, to the waters
