Amalia Bloom are back with a new single, “At Eternity's Gate”
On this new release, the band comments: “At Eternity's Gate is an attempt to express a feeling of frustration and vacuity provoked by the absence of an ikigai. The narrator crawls to bed, exhausted by the constant pressure that weighs on his mind and, as he reminds of a dream he had, reflects on what is missing. The title is a tribute to famous Vincent Van Gogh's painting "On The Threshold Of Eternity", which depicts an old man in sorrow. The core part of the song describes a dream in which the narrator is looking for a missing someone, soaked in the imaginary that Vincent Van Gogh was able to depict through his works. In fact, there are some more references about his art in the lyrics. At the end of the song, the narrator retraces his memories and finds out that only in his dreams he is able to feel, eventually evoking his missing someone and telling them that they are the lost piece of the jigsaw.” Picture: Yari Ricco
