"Livet Nord is completely dazzling with her violin and viola. The violas' darker voice gives
a different sort of weight to the whole, the violin glitters, flatters and demands our attention.
She makes the Violin become a voice, a wind, a space, a crystal ."

SINGEL RELEASE

Solace / Tröstpolska
Musik: Livet Nord
It all began with a beautiful but impossible love. Then a fairytale that transformed into a poetic circus performance about a girl grieving a dead bird. Solace, or "Tröstpolska", is about finding meaning in life in even the face of grief. To embrace your feelings, but also to let go and move on. About how redemptive it can be to humbly allow all of your feelings to be present and about how close they really are to each other. About daring to be both strong and vulnerable.
