One of the songs written during the sixth session of the songwriting camp “RigaLive” was released: it is called “Another Rain”, and it was created by the young singer Karlīna Šēnknehte together with her teammates – multi-artist Artūrs Jenotas and producer Armands Varslavāns.
The overall idea of the song is created by Artūrs Jenotas (formerly known as Ipstens Kūns). For about a month and a half, it reminded us of itself from time to time, but the moment Artūrs, Armands and Karlīna came together, this idea materialized: “We understood at the moment and already during the first hour of work it was clear what we wanted to create. Everything can be heard in the song – the city, nature, relationships, recreation, problems and light. ” The message of the song is directly expressed in its words “you can beat me, I can fall, but I will not break.” It is about relationships and parallels in relationships. About how painful and complicated they can sometimes be, about how much is allowed in them. Although the song has different meanings and interpretations, the authors hope that each listener will be able to take the most important thing and understand it in the way they feel at the moment. “Mars was retrograde, and we met at the right place and time, in the right weather and with the right words in our pockets,” describes Artūrs Jenots in the songwriting process.
RigaLive’s sixth songwriting session took place over three days, from August 24 to 26. “Meeting such a work process with strangers is a great way to get out of your comfort zone. At first I was afraid if we couldn’t understand because we didn’t know each other. It was hard to open at first, but I think we mysteriously put together a very good team. Communication was easy and fluent, there were no quarrels, scabies or misunderstandings when writing this piece. My team was wonderful. Arthur Raccoon – I would say that he is a poet that makes him very special. He is very lyrical and emotional, as well as true to what he writes, very positive, creative and talented. Armands Varslavāns, on the other hand, is a musician who is always looking for new means of expression in music, he has his own taste and quite a lot of self-criticism, so together we experimented in every way. And we all believe that we succeeded – the composition is different, ”Karlina thinks.
