Song ‘Rijeka’ is the first song of my new Slavic mythology project Alkonost of Balkan. It speaks about a pilgrimage of finding yourself, your true purpose, breaking the chains that have been holding you back and accepting your authentic truth, and ultimately enjoying an authentic life which is the biggest privilege of all. There is a belief that everyone came to this planet with their own unique melody as each eye is a unique mirror of the soul and a fingerprint unique to your identity. Today we live in an age of division, censorship, condemnation, fear, ego, lies with an unempathetic attitude. What our ancestors always remind us of is the fact that we are all connected and that the suffering of someone who shares with us this planet is our suffering as well.
All this and more is taught to us by the music of our pagan ancestors and no matter what we believe today or not, the sign of an educated, open person is to respect the past and learn from it to properly nurture the present and create a better future. In addition, what we see today only in sci-fi movies and books where heroism and heartfelt courage was a natural phenomenon is what our ancestors actively lived, and some (few individuals) live today to bring the spirit of true cultural heritage on which we walk preserved. In my case, I can proudly say that I live these words I write.
I am interested in the soul, that which is primordial, uncorrupted, and unchangeable from the beginning of time, that which is in all of us. I'm only interested in the music that makes a person shiver with a sense of truth and strength, the music that draws you to the very roots of the earth with sound and message, and the heart and hands rise to the sky to those days when people were heroes, honorable and honest. This is how the project Alkonost of Balkan was created, it takes us back to what is really important: at a time when people were connected in communities and worshiped nature and simple things of heart and soul. A time when the ego was just a way of defense in a life-threatening situation, not a lifestyle.
A project inspired by the ethnic sounds of the entire Balkans and our Slavic heritage, film elements, and videos shot exclusively in nature. Of course, it should not be forgotten that I am a big fan of music from games, movies, and everything that is otherwordly, but- what is actually a myth if not what existed and still exists less visible to the eye, but clear to the soul? Project Alkonost of Balkan describes the stylistic musical direction by name. Alkonost is a mythological bird of Slavic roots who influences people with her voice (puts them to sleep or hypnotizes them). She lives in the underworld with her counterpart, the Sirin always reminding us there are two sides of us - shadow and light always connected and intertwined much like the famous story of two wolfs inside of us all. The bird is a frequent archetype of great singers and protectors of ancient songs and notes, a transmitter of sound that is forgotten or pushed aside, but the root that is part of every music and every style today, the root that is always here. Our beginning and what we need to nurture in order to preserve cultural heritage.

Special thanks to Z for showing me that it’s better to live in a poor truth than in a rich lie that surrounded you and that at the end of a dark tunnel a new beginning with clearer air and better vibes around you emerges if you stay true to yourself. Thanks for also reminding me I’m doing this for music and love towards art, nature, sound therapy, and mythology and that nothing else is important when you do things from the heart.

LYRICS:
ČUJEŠ LI ME DOK POLAKO IZVIREM U ZORU?
ČUJEŠ LI ME U TIŠINI ŽUBORIM U MOLU?
KROZ TVOJE DUBINE ŠUMIM TVOJE IME HEJ HEJ, ČUJEŠ LI ME?
JA PUTUJEM TEBI KAO RIJEKA
JA NATAPAM OBALE TVOGA SVIJETA
JA PUTUJEM TEBI KROZ PLANINE
JA ŽUBORIM TIHO OH
ČUJEŠ LI ME DOK POLAKO TVOME MORU STIŽEM?
ČUJEŠ LI ME SVAKIM SATOM SVE SAM TI BLIŽE?
KROZ TVOJE DUBINE ŠUMIM TVOJE IME
HEJ HEJ, ČUJEŠ LI ME?
PUTUJEM TIHO JA SVE DO KRAJA SVIJETA
NASTAVLJAM HRABRO PUT PREKO SVIH PLANETA
STIŽEM TVOM MORU I KROČIM KROZ PLANINE
SAMO DA ČUJEŠ MI IME IZ DAVNINE!
