about

I became familiar with Elliot Smith and Kill Rock Stars with this song, that opened the door for me to enjoy music in a different way, maybe a more philosophical one. I felt that this song was a bit different than the songs I usually enjoyed up till then. I felt it had an interactive influence on me. It’s the kind of song that makes you think a bit and ask yourself why am I so interested in it? I felt that I don’t enjoy it automatically but rather philosophically, it enters and reaches the lowest depths of the soul and makes you wonder about life, facing reality, planning the future and so on. I feel this song forces you to stop everything you’re doing and ask yourself why am I doing it? What is the purpose of all my efforts? So in my performance I wanted to give it another interpretation namely to take it easy and just try to enjoy what you get in life and stop being so ambitious for a certain period of time. I asked the animation artist to listen to my interpretation and translate it to his own artistic world. So the outcome is the antithesis of the Disney concept of the price and the princess living happily ever after. This was his own translation to my musical interpretation of the song.
