Kelsey O'nara - A Cappella

about

We're so proud to finally release the LAST song of our album called 8.8. #kelseyonara is a retake on the song you might have caught on our way at some point - however, we made it better, more haunting, and much MUCH more epic with a true a cappella approach meaning #noinstruments, no pads, no synths. All the sounds were created solely by our mouths and throats.

It was hard, and it was fun, just like the videomaking was (if you look at T. standing outside in the white dress, it was actually freezing cold, and she was barefoot. Moments after, it started snowing O_O).

About the song itself... T wrote a poem once. It spoke about embracing #death, the Death being a beautiful girl Kelsey O'nara. Why such an Ireland-inspired name? Apart from the country being kind of magical, say: O'nara - sayōnara, a symbol of the end and T's affiliation to the Japanese culture. Poetry turned it into a folk tune; the song asked for something calm but majestic, discreet yet #epic, and, above all - beautiful, just like the character of Kelsey, the death embraced, is. We hope we did it justice ^_^

lyrics

Kelsey O’nara
A girl with eyes so green
You find yourself lost in that what could seem
Like the green pastures of forever to hold

Just say, say her name to call her again
Say, say: O’nara, my dearest friend

Kelsey O’nara
A girl of thousand faces
You need to caress her to know how the changes
Go through to get, get you through

Just say, say her name to learn a few new ways
Say, say: O’nara, I loved and I’ll love those days

Kelsey O’nara
A girl of the purest smiles
You’ll want to smile back for her to know that you tried
Finding yourself grown over by a warm hug

Just say, say her name to feel the calm, calm happy
Say, say: O’nara, yourself I just might need

Kelsey O’nara
A girl of the last goodbyes
You don’t know how to say or how to make last
You try anyway since the future is to pass

So say, say her name with a one last bow
Say, say: O’nara, take my hand, and let’s go

Take my hand, and let’s go
