about

We're super excited to present you with our Silly Little Pride! And when I say "our," I mean ours and Spiros Maus', as we created this with the talented UK-based producer. SLP is playful, dreamy, somewhat reminiscent of ionnalee, and quite fun. It's mellow (which song of ours isn't?), but not in a straightforward way, meditating on the ends of relationships or parts of your life. Whose fault was it? Where did the love go? Could I have done better, could you? It's all such a mess, and it might just have been me to create (or walk right into) it.

We tried to transform that feeling into this fun video, metaphorically depicting how such a situation might look for a person. This detachment of looking at a situation (or your whole life) as a chaotic movie where you are starring, but also, where chaos reigns, full of colors, flickers, and a randomized feeling.

This leads us to – people sensitive to flickering lights might perhaps skip this one 😄 Everybody else, welcome to our lives (and the world of... everything at once).

Parts of the video were shot in the National Film Museum (NaFilM) in Prague (en.nafilm.org), which is truly a hidden gem run by incredible people – and it's totally worth visiting. Thank you, guys, for doing what you do!

lyrics

How do you know
How do you know what hell looks like
Was it real
Was it you who made me look
Now I know
My silly little pride
Oh do I know
Do I know why I haven’t tried

So, would you want
Me even if not real
And would we be
Humans if need be
Oh would I know
How to shed my own strange skin
So did I know
Did I know I wasn’t free

How can I face
And how should I have guessed
How can I face
That those stories were a mess

How did you feel
Alone in crowded space
And did you see
Every side, right but bland
And did you know
All that silly little pride
Oh you will need
More but I just won’t try

Can you let me come
Let me torture you some more
So then I know
I was there but wasn’t sure
And you will come
Belong when no one else’s there
Then you will know
How high’s the ferry fare

How can I face
And how should I’ve guessed
How can I face
There’s no story, it’s just chase

How do you know
How can I face
Was it real
And how should I’ve guessed
Now I know
How can I face
Do I know

There’s no story, it’s a mess

How can I face
And how should I’ve guessed
How can I face
There’s no story, it’s just chase

How do you know
How can I face
Was it real
And how should I’ve guessed
Now I know
How can I face
Do I know

There’s no story, it’s a mess
