about

Hľadám (I'm Looking for) is poetry in song form, and our first release in Slovak, the language Tilly was born into. It's gentle and dreamy but incredibly rich, full of pictures and metaphors and a lot of Tilly's grey-colored heart.

Many of you may never have heard the Slovak language before, though a dear, non-Slovak friend of ours said that even if not French-like at all, the song reminded him of French chansons. And so, this intimate singer-songwriter tune evolves into an almost cinematic feel with an ambient folk side, and it slowly but urgently rolls in to eat you whole.

We purposely went for a very simple, one-take, intimate-feeling video, trying to make you feel like being right there, very close to Tilly, dreaming together in the dark.

lyrics

Hľadám, hľadám, nenachádzam, viem
Hľadám, hľadám, kde je nejaký tieň
Hľadám, hľadám, v tieni pre mňa miesto
Hľadám, hľadám, tienim a už nie som

Vykúpem sa v zlatom daždi lúčov
A zmyjem stopy kľúčov ktorých niet
Skryjem, čo ostalo od rozlúčok
Pre tých, čo ostanú a ja smiem

Hľadáš, hľadáš, nenašiel si ešte
Hľadáš, stratený les čo bol v meste
Hľadáš, hľadáš, no ja som ho vzala
Hľadáš, no je možné, že to vzdala

Vykúpeš sa v zlatom prúde zo slov
Zmyjúc stopy restov druhých strán
Už vtedy si vedel, kde sa skrývam
Tichúčko ťa chytím kým som tam

Hľadám, kde ty hľadáš
Hľadáš a mňa niet
Sadnem, kde si sadáš
A zbadám iný svet

Vykúpem ťa…
Zmyté stopy…
Skry tých, čo ostanú…
Ja tichúčko ťa chytím…

Hľadám English lyrics:

I am looking, looking, I am not finding it, I know
I am looking, looking for some shadow
I'm looking, looking for a place for me in the shadows
I'm looking, looking, shielding the sun, and I'm no more

I'll bathe in the golden rain of rays
And wash away the traces of keys not there anymore
I'll hide what's left of goodbyes
For those who remain, and I'm allowed to

You're looking, looking, you haven't found it yet
You're looking for the lost forest once in the city
You're looking, looking, but I've taken it with me
You're looking, but it may be she just gave up

You'll bathe in a golden stream of words
Washing away the traces of the other sides
Even then, you knew where I was hiding
I'll catch you quietly while I'm there

I'm looking where you're looking
You're looking, and I'm not there
I'll sit where you are sitting
And I'll see another world

I'll bathe you...
The washed-off traces...
Hide those who remain...
And I'll catch you quietly...
