Imagine finding yourselves in an abandoned fairground where all the equipment swings sideways slowly as the wind blows, imagine the stillness and the feeling of disquiet…and now imagine somebody wrote a soundtrack for all that, the landscape and its emotional output.
Prepare yourselves as you wish for the longest playlist of the year, the creepiest sounds and some added poetic weirdness by Jointweird who were possessed by something otherworldly and answer questions famous songs have posed in their titles!
You’ll need more than one poison for this one dear darklings!
Blauerosen / Jointweird – June 2021
Songs about cryptic characters. Songs about dried posies. Songs of despair. Slow-burning torch songs. Songs about mortality. Songs about passionate sadness. Songs of bitterness. Songs about collapses. Songs about endings. Songs for friends. Songs on fire. Songs about rising and falling … and the wickedness of daring to dream when there is no glimpse of light!
