about

AySay was for a period in long distance relationship. Luna traveled in South America, and to keep the wheel turning, the trio decided to test songwriting with 1 specific challenge - physical distance. ”glød” (glow) was born in these conditions with Luna recording and writing in Chile, while Aske and Carl was in Denmark recording back to Luna.
Very symbolically, and perhaps also therefore, the song is about the feeling of being torn when traveling. The place between wanting the experience and travel to continue, but at the same time feel that there is something that draws you "home" – although when traveling, "home" can often feel like something that is no longer as concrete to you. The text, Luna wrote with inspiration from Latin American poetry, whose traditional music often has referrences to the moon, the sun, the light, the wind. Elements you turn to for clarity, to feel one with something greater, which is not defined from where you are physically present on Earth, but exists everywhere.

AySay's sources of inspiration come from both the East and the West. Sorten Muld's concept of creating Nordic hybrids continues in AySay in what nowadays also belong to being "Nordic." This makes sense since the percussionist in AySay, Aske, is the son of two members of Soren Muld. AySay's sound also draws inspiration from the Canadian / Turkish band "Minor Empire," which also blends electronic elements with oriental tunes.

lyrics

Lyrics and translation:

Lille glød i morgenstunden
send dit lys ned
lille lys fra lunden
send mig din klarhed

Træerne hvisker
vinden kalder mig hjem
træerne hvisker
fødderne drejer
du kalder mig hjem

Canan canana canim

Lille lys imellem blade
bliv mit kompas

Yüce dağlar bilsin
Bari kuşlar mahlum olsun

Danish:
Little spark of the morning,
Send down your light
Little spark in the grove
Send me your clarity

The trees are whispering
The wind is calling me home
The feet turn
You call me home

Turkish:
"The carer, to the caring, my caring love
I loved you"

Danish:
Little spark in between leaves
Be my compas

The trees are whispering
The wind is calling me home
The feet turn
You call me home

Turkish:
"The carer, to the caring, my caring love
I loved you"

Turkish:
Let the majestic mountains know
Let the flying birds be witnesses

about

AySay Aarhus, Denmark

Luna Ersahin was born into a life of two cultures. With a Danish mother and a Kurdish/Turkish father, in her voice, a tale of the totality of two halves, is told. Being the centerpiece of the trio AySay, the same story translates into a soundscape where traditions from both east and west melt together. ... more
