    Music video for latvian band Instrumenti.

    Me running along the sea back to the place I used to stay first twelve summers of my childhood. Photograph of two boys at the end of the video is shot there 29 years ago.

     

    Song Lyrics:

    Slow Fire

    Rivers run up the mountains.

    Roots get washed out by the dried-up shore.

    And the little boy is begging himself to remember.

    To bring back whatever he's taken away.

    The morning arises somewhere between my childhood and my home.

    Red bill-berry bushes have rooted amongst the memories.

    My whole life's footprints across the dirt road.

    Oh so dear and so very mine is the ever-present sorrow.

    I am basking in front of a slow fire.

    The shadows disappear, the swelter cools down.

    A little lukewarm, but at peace is my heart.

    The speech has calmed down,

    the one that once said.

    Each glacier has a sparkling beginning.

    But the end is always burning.
