Kit Sebastian - 'Enkaz' (Lyric Video)

'Enkaz', out now on Brainfeeder: https://kitsebastian.lnk.to/enkazYo Subscribe: https://found.ee/kitsebastian-ys Enkaz is a deeply emotional farewell to Merve’s grandfather, who passed away last year. Living in different countries, they never had the chance to say a final goodbye, and this song became her way of grappling with that unspoken parting. Some of the footage in the lyric video was captured in the UK, reflecting Merve’s current life away from her family, while it also includes a personal journey—a drive from her family flat in Istanbul to her grandfather’s home. Enkaz was recorded directly onto a 1/4" tape on a Fostex machine. It has a rougher, less polished sound to our last album, with instruments being pushed into the red on mixers and tape machines. The track was composed in response to listening to the Egyptian greats: Umm Kulthum and Abdel Halim Hafez, particularly their orchestras. Abdel Halim's orchestra had Magdy El Hossainy on a Farfisa organ and Omar Khorshid on guitar, which are the main inspirations for the sonic timbre of this song. The Farfisa organ was de-tuned to be able to play a certain Arabic maqam. The piano was played in a way to gesture the sound of a qanun. TRANSLATION: WRECKAGE (ENKAZ) I’m alone within four walls, In the heart of the night you left, In the melting glow of candlelight, Memories come alive, all at once. If I closed my eyes to the world And sank deep into a dream, For the sake of the days we shared, Could we meet just once more? From the faded torn page of the calendar, Sorrows scatter far and wide, From the depths of your eyes that left my side, A vast wreckage is all that’s left to me. Life feels hollow, all is dark In my soul, a deep, fragile mark. I’ve hidden you where no one can find, Should forgetfulness come knocking. But it’s too late now, I know you’re gone, you abandoned me You left me here, Wait, don’t go, Let my breath be your last breath—stay.
