next up is an achingly beautiful, haunting, desolate et forlorn track Stranger To You from enigmatic Berlin-based dream pop artist{s} Silent Portraits.
"I'd like to remain a stranger / to your heart
I'd like to remain a stranger / to your mind
I'd like to remain a stranger / to your thoughts
I'd like to remain a stranger / to your mind
I'd like to remain a stranger / to your thoughts
I'd like to remain a stranger / to you ..."
Stranger To You is a devastatingly intimate, affecting, melancholy-stained, ephemeral track, Silent Portraits have described their music as being influenced by an empty dancehall, et it is quite easy to imagine these tormented, airy vocals floating, reverberating in some desolate, abandoned dancehall, the forlorn music awakening ghosts from dances past, reuniting once more to relive some unresolved moment, their transparent figures merging together as they move slowly to the music, caught up in this poignant moment, only to dissolve once the music fades out, into a vague, distant memory, like some old group photo on the wall that no one quite remembers anymore. light a candle, turn off the lights, lie back et soak up this sublime music!
