Helena Deland is a talented Canadian singer-songwriter wich we introduced with the release of the cassette titled From the Series of Songs “Altogether Unaccompanied” Vol. I-IV and 2020’s debut album Something New. he song is dedicated to her mother who sadly passed away last year and comes with the official video.
Helena shares: “A little while after finding out that my mother was sick and that our days together were numbered, I went through a fundamental change, faced as I was with the need to reconsider things I had taken for granted. Growing older with her was now an impossible scenario, but I was being offered a suspension, some time to understand and try to change patterns that had been detrimental to our relationship, and to love her how I wished for her to be loved.
I feel that we are in a similar predicament with the world, faced with the climate crisis.
“Some losses are too big to wrap our minds around. Here, I am on the beach, watching my mother swim, faced with the immensity of the ocean, of our fragility, riding the troughs of magical thinking and crests of acceptance.”
