NEW SONGS
PEOPLE WE USED TO BE
By The Swell Season
“It’s a song about trying to reconcile with what feels like an end of an era and allowing one’s self to mourn the People We Used To Be while choosing to fight for the person we love and the life we built with them. It is a song of defiance and determination as much as heart aching nostalgia.” – Markéta
MONA LISA
By Markéta Irglová & Malinda
The inspiration for the song came from Markéta contemplating women’s position in society throughout history, combining two timelines, and bridging the gap of about 500 years between the present 21st century and the past age of Renaissance. It uses the renowned Mona Lisa painting as a window through which to transport the listener into a Florentine society of the early 16th century.
Markéta asked MALINDA to be the voice of Mona Lisa in this song, given her background in Musical Theatre and her experience in stepping into different characters. MALINDA played the role of GIRL in the Washington production of Once the Musical, and that is how the two became acquainted with one another.
IF YOU WANT ME (SATISFY ME) | SI ME QUIERES
“If You Want Me – I wrote this song when I was 16. It is my second most popular song after Falling Slowly and is never missing from a live concert setlist. Whenever I hear the recording from Once, I hardly recognize myself anymore, my voice has changed so much over the years. I felt it was time to revisit this song. You guys ready?”
– Markéta
Listen to the new interprestation of the song on Bandcamp! Both the English version, as well as in Spanish.
HAPPY
The song is about being present and feeling joyful without forming an attachment to how long the feeling may last.
It is about a connection with others, without needing to analyze or name it, hoping only that the joy can be shared.
It is about celebrating that joy and that connection – the here and now – with song and dance, being together and feeling elevated.
Featuring the wonderful Eric Harper on guitars, Manu Barreto on drums and percussion, and Sturla Mio Thorisson on programming and production, it is truly a song that makes me want to dance. I hope it may do the same for you.”
