Sentir’s latest release is a deeply personal and moving tribute, written on the first anniversary of the artist’s grandfather’s passing. The song, a gift for their grandmother, weaves a poignant narrative of love, loss, and enduring connection, capturing both the joy and ache of a life shared. Hypnotic guitar lines, paired with subtle electronic synths, create a soundscape that is as haunting as it is beautiful, allowing grief to take shape in unexpected ways. The melancholic tone of the voice carries the weight of longing, blurring the boundaries between the storyteller and the one being mourned, as if echoing a shared desire to be held once more by someone who is gone. In Sentir’s hands, sorrow becomes art, transforming pain into something achingly tender and universal.
