Notes on "Requiem for the Night": When I was lost and alone, Night surrounded me with empathetic melancholy. Here is a requiem for you, my friend, for I learned how to move on even when completely alone.

Thank you for listening, and we hope that you'll also check out the live video to this song on our YouTube channel (www.youtube.com/channel/UC7vkZLgcwOzYC0NabqmFwPg). :)

lyrics

REQUIEM FOR THE NIGHT
Music & lyrics: Vina Nguyen (April 2018)


Slanted shadows cross my mind,
Silver whispering through the pines,
Is this blindness, is this night?
When the stars are starved of light?

The ocean roars.
My heart soars...

Tesselating broken hearts in the dark.
Irridesence in the waves drift apart.
We are vines searching blindly without arms,
We are parallel lines in the dark.

But I know,
I won't let go...

Moon hangs lonely in the sky.
I sing for you this lullaby.
A requiem for this night.
A hovering song at our sides.

The ocean roars.
My heart soars...

Tessellating broken hearts in the dark.
Iridescence in the waves drift apart.
We are vines searching blindly without arms,
We are parallel lines in the dark.

Tessellating broken hearts in the dark.
Iridescence in the waves drift apart.
We are vines searching blindly without arms,
We are parallel lines in the dark.

But I know,
I won't let go...

Vina After Dark Calgary, Alberta

Lianne La Havas meets Kan Wakan at a Portishead concert.

Vina After Dark’s warm siren vocals will raise goosebumps across your skin as you head-nod to chilled out drums, groovy bass, and ethereal, crying guitar lines.

And if you’re lyrically focused, you’re in luck: think Emily Haines’s poetic acuity with Nina Simone’s tender sparseness.

Meet broody trip-hop x contemporary pop.
