NeraNature ? "Precious Now" video on YouTube
This Monday was the day of the official premiere of the debut solo album by Nera, Darzamat's singer, entitled "Foresting Wounds". The next song promoting this album is "Precious Now", for which a video has been shot. The video can be viewed on Metal Mind Productions? official channel on YouTube.
Nera comments on the video: "Actually we chose the song 'Precious Now' months ago, since it's one of my favourite tracks on the album. The script was being shaped in my head week after week, though shooting the video took us only a couple of days. On the literal level, it's about running away from the city to slow down the pace, gather one's thoughts, to spend some time in solitude. The lyrics, in turn, are about enjoying the "here and now", leaving all troublesome memories behind, as also breaking free from the snares of one's plans for the future. All we have is this passing moment..."
The video was shot and edited by a young artist going by the pseudonym Stanley McNoly.
NeraNature was founded by Nera in 2009. The project appeared as a space where the air is filled with matters lingering in her head, a bit more intimate, private and sometimes bizarre and freakish. ?I've been waiting for a long time for the right place and time to find an outlet for my personal thoughts and beliefs. This is the time and place? ? explains Nera. The name of the band is a combination of two words: Nera, the nickname of the vocalist, and Nature, referring to a reflection on a deep connection with the environment. It can also be interpreted as the nature of Nera ? a diversity of views reflected in the songs. The feminine character of lyrics imbued with the feminist outlook on life constitutes one of the most significant elements of the projects, touching upon such issues as man?s detachment from nature and running away from himself/herself.
"Foresting Wounds" contains 12 compositions including Garbage?s cover ?The World Is Not Enough?. The album is out now in Europe. US? release date has been set up for 12th July (via MVD).
