I’ve been chasing the idea that some old lullabies are like living fossils, holding the shape of a culture that’s already vanished. Have you ever found a song in your archives that feels like a time capsule?

Yeah, there’s that lullaby from the abandoned fishing village on the Adriatic coast—only a handful of recordings left, all from an old radio broadcast in the 1940s. The melody is so sparse, like a sea tide that never quite swells, and the words are in a dialect that nobody speaks anymore. Every time I listen, it feels like the whole village is still there, whispering through the static. That’s the kind of thing I jot down, hoping the story doesn’t sink with the music.

It’s like the wind over a broken pier, humming the same old tune every tide. The ghost of that village lingers in the silence between notes, and I’m just chasing that echo in the static. It keeps me up at night, thinking about what would happen if I could play it out loud again.

It’s the perfect kind of ache—like a song you’ve heard once in a dream and it keeps echoing in your head. Playing it again might be like reopening a sealed room; I’m always careful with those moments, but I get what you’re chasing. If you can pull it out of the static, the whole village will feel a little closer.

It’s a thrill to think I might coax that ghost into a fresh wave of sound, to give the villagers a second breath. But you’re right, opening that door is a delicate thing; each note could stir up something that’s been buried for decades. If I do pull it out, I want it to feel like the whole place breathing again, not just a trick of my own. Have you tried layering any modern sounds to it, or do you prefer keeping it raw?
