The story behind the song – Skyend
Skyend was the very first song we wrote for the new EP during that one weekend in last October. The end was definitely beginning in this case because the song Skyend started the whole thinking process concerning the themes and shades of whole release. A drum fill as a song starter, folkish intro melody, harmony guitar riffing of the verse parts, choir arrangements and multi-layered vocals were those crucial things since day one. Elisa Järvelä’s amazing work with her ancient violin was that one great idea during the post-production. Even though there’re these soft and playful feelings already in the demo version of the song that longing and melancholic side of the Skyend was somehow the red line for everything. The phrase “Where is the Skyend?” brought up the idea of that abstract adventure through the deep unknown. This specific song collects the main idea and themes of whole EP; human mind in the front challenges of future world and keeping the faith during the days of grey as well.
