about

LURA with its accompanying moving music video (on Youtube), reminisces about childhood summer days spent with friends and loved ones who are no longer with us. This song is homaging their memory while expressing deeply the wish to meet again by living a space-time shift, like a magical journey with the hope to actively relive the experience of moments now only found stored in our memories. The lyrics were written by Alexia Baldacchino and Luciano-F Schembri Agius, who both lost their respective brothers who passed on before their time.

The composition-
LURA’s slow guitar arpeggios’ intro is followed by a calm synth and soft-spoken singing verse.
The song gradually builds up a dreamy rise that uses its beginning guitar melody and the steady piano rhythm/pulses as its outline throughout. The warm, yet ominous guitar solo in the mid-part of the song, intensifies the sense of the mediterranean vastness which is an element that ties this track to the rest of the album.
Towards the end, all the melodies swell to an enchanting climax. The intertwined synth textures and guitar melodies, along with soaring chants, deliver the feeling of dreaminess or even a floating-through-space sensation.
The final sombre piano note sends off this cathartic crescendo.

Lyrics

Mteddejt taħt sema kaħlani
Fuq blat sħun u bajdani
Marret bijja għajni
Mal-ħsejjes kalmi
Ta’ mewġ hafif li ħdejk
Se jwassalni

Xtaqt ngħalaq għajnejja
Biex ħdejk, nerġa’ nispiċċa,
Forsi, ‘l bogħod minn di-dinja
F’ univers ieħor, jew stilla
Fej’ leħnek nibqa’ nisma
U wiċċek nerġa nilmaħ
Fej’ leħnek nibqa’ nisma
U wiċċek nerġa nilmaħ
Fej’ leħnek nibqa’ nisma
U wiċċek nerġa nilmaħ

Il-mewġ balzmu għall-widnejja
Fej’ il-ħsieb jitlaq,
U jimraħ f’memorji sbieħ
U l-ħsejjes tħalltu
U leħnek insejtu
U s-skiet ħa postu
Fil-vojt li ħallejt warajk

Xtaqt ngħalaq għajnejja
Biex ħdejk, nerġa’ nispiċċa,
Forsi, ‘l bogħod minn di-dinja
F’ univers ieħor, jew stilla
Fej’ leħnek nibqa’ nisma
U wiċċek nerġa nilmaħ
Fej’ leħnek nibqa’ nisma
U wiċċek nerġa nilmaħ
Fej’ leħnek nibqa’ nisma
U wiċċek nerġa nilmaħ

Tryst Arcane image

Tryst Arcane Malta

Deliberately shorn of any conventional percussive arrangements, Tryst Arcane’s music emanates simply from an esoteric rendezvous of sweeping keys’ riffs combined with mystifying vocal melodies. Lyrics garner elements of mysticism mixed with realism pertinent to our existence.
Tryst Arcane is formed by Alexia (Vox at Memento Nostri) & Julian (Keys at Nomad Son). ... more
