about

This song started already some years ago from the layered vocal improvisations you hear in the beginning and in the end. Päivi Pälvimäki then wrote very fitting lyrics. I sing in the lower register which makes it quite dramatic. The orchestral arrangement was a last-minute addition and it ended up working perfectly in my opinion.

lyrics

Step by step
breath by breath
I get closer to a mirror

to realize
and recognize
is so hard after an error

my image twisted
I tried to resist it to the end
but it’s true now
I’m your alter ego

here and now
don’t know how
I’ll be released from your witch trick

but/then one day
come he may
who treats me well and stops the magic

my image twisted
I tried to resist it to the end
but it’s true now
I’m your alter ego
your love persisted
I couldn’t escape it or defend
and it’s true now
I’m your alter ego
