“Composition Night Follow Me occurred this spring during a period of self-isolation, search, and confusion. The events of the world definitely encouraged to re-evaluate and really appreciate all the good that is given to us here – family, friends, fellow human beings, as well as the beautiful nature of Latvia, which serves as a refuge and a haven of peace and will help overcome any storm. In my opinion, the bright feelings of this strange period and the deep gratitude and love of life that accompany it are perfectly intertwined in this composition, “reveals Rihards Lībietis.
“The song’s video is inspired by a nineties film about ghosts. It tells of parallel worlds that meet unnoticed from time to time. The idea of the video visualizes how important what we leave behind is how our works and actions form memories , inspiration or aura, the main character, cellist Erna, symbolizes the search for her true essence and the fact that the human spirit can not find peace until it has found itself, “says the video director Marija Migliniece.
