S.O.S. is a song to life, a whisper from the soul to the earth, to our planet. S.O.S. is a cry, a call to awaken our consciousness. S.O.S. to all that is lost and that can disappear gobbled up by this globalised world. To the gigantic like glaciers and to the small, on an individual human and intimate scale. S.O.S. because we are fragile and we can break and come apart and disappear and, with us, everything we harbour within us. Who will preserve our memory? S.O.S. to the love and the beauty that can save the world.
Can we go on living as we have until now?
Can we start over?
