The Aftermath from The Underliving by Priscilla Hernandez

"The Aftermath" is a song included in "The Underliving", it's linked to other songs "Storm" and "The Wind song" and it is about the stillness after a storm that is perceived as lifeless and how it summons again the wind. In The Underliving the sounds of the wind is one of the ways this creatures communicate with the living. I played here quite a lot of instruments: kantele, psaltery, flutes, bowed glasses, koshi chimes, hammered dulcimer, jouhikko, tibetan bowl, oscar tribalthunder, and wind is made with an double ocarina and a windband roarer to create this eerie yet pacifying atmosphere.

Lyrics

Kill this lifeless stillness
that set ablaze my sorrows
Hum once more this lull song
and rock me back to sleep

Rise your cries and whispers
Fight resentful silence
and scare the muted advent
of the Aftermath
