NEW single A Simple Love Song
release on January 17th 2025
Like Sand In My Hands
" Like Sand In My Hands " tackles the sensitive themes of physical and psychological isolation faced by older adults, exploring the emotional impact of loneliness on their lives. With their signature blend of heartfelt lyrics and captivating melodies, the duo aims to raise awareness and foster understanding about this critical social issue.
“We wanted to create a song that resonates with the experiences of older adults who often feel invisible and alone,” says Geena B. “This single is a call for connection and compassion in a world that can sometimes forget its elders.”
LU MARI
LU MARI is a word from Puglia/Italy and means the sea.
The sea is a central metaphor, representing both a barrier and a connector. It symbolizes the divide between the known and the unknown, but also the shared humanity that unites people across borders.
The song implores us to recognize that these journeys are not just about survival, but about the search for dignity, love, and connection.
