With a trendy chanting, and sometimes slower, sometimes faster guitar accompaniment, sporadically accompanied by instruments such as the piano, accordion or drums, picks out the 34-Year-old with the clear voice of everyday situations, encounters, and conflicts from their lives, transforming them with apparent ease in the pictures, and then with her vivid language in music.
In the Opener, “The pink elephant” tells the mother of a son from a pink elephant at the dinner table that no one is talking about – the for all to see, but it has been concealed. In “prey in the stomach” she sings about a saber-toothed tiger that sneaks around the house, if you can’t sleep. On impermanence, she philosophizes in “Osmotic autumn song”: “waiting for all these great moments, and then the simple past, such as roller coaster rides and math exams, and of love and eggs to go. We are only on this world as a fence guests of the finiteness?” In “the day the flood came” establishes a connection between the flooded basements in the present, and the climate change in the future. “And if it’s true what everyone is saying that the polar ice caps melt, then the mainland will probably be sometime quite narrow.
