An ambient, soulful track. Female vocal with pizzicato strings, bowed strings, piano and reverb. The concept for the song was the idea of someone sitting by a moonlit lake in the middle of the night secretly baring their soul about a breakup.

lyrics

Silent reflections on the moonlit lake
Offering protection, keeping secrets safe
Feels like home as the darkness passes by
I'm alone in the darkness, ask me why

Velvet water, endless sky
My soul spirit starts to cry

Hear my confession, watch the calmness break
Changing perception as the ripples take
Truth's not shy after midnight passes by
No-one lies after midnight, ask me why

Timeless feelings never die
My soul spirit starts to cry

Cry, cry, cry, cry
Ask me why, why, why, why
Ask me, why?

Behind Closed Doors LP
by Kira Neris

LOVE the jazz references and style. Makes me feel destressed, tipsy and somehow glamorously chic even though I'm only listening. I'll never tire of listening to this music. Red As Ruby

A Frozen Second LP
by Kira Neris

I couldn't believe it when I then heard this LP too. Absolutely love the chilled feel of the music and the way the sounds have been put together. Artist envy for the vibe that Kira Neris creates! Red As Ruby
