Songwriter\/synthesist Sam Rosenthal joins with passionate baritone Jon DeRosa (Aarktica) and soulful cellist Henrik Meierkord.<\/p>\n<p><BR>The dark and emotional performances lend themselves to the lyrical reverie upon life\u2019s disappointment and regrets, seeking a purpose, a meaning, a frame for the catastrophe of time\u2019s passage. Jon&#8217;s vocals embody a pensive mature beauty, the expressive confessions of a lone voice, singing out to a vast uncaring void. Henrik\u2019s dense undulating strings dissolve and drift, detailing an engulfing spectral realm.<\/p>\n<p><BR>Revisiting old songs \u2014 releasing new versions of them \u2014 is fertile ground for post-modern discussions: putting perspective on a text, the construction of meaning\u2026 and in this sense we find a deeper purpose. The act of remaking the songs is functionally similar to what the lyrics explore. Rumination is found in every facet of these tracks. Echoes of the past haunt these stories, reflecting back and forward upon the narrative, drawing towards a moment of transcendence where the songs ask the listener to explore the disappointments of life in the midst of the beauty, and the absurdity, with the recognition that love is the crowning achievement. A final realization that life is bittersweet, but love is worth the price.<\/p>\n<h3>Projekt release: November 4 2022<\/h3>\n<div class=\"socials\"><h2>love it, share it<\/h2><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.projekt.com%2Fstore%2Fproduct%2Farc00265%2F&t=Black+Tape+For+A+Blue+Girl%3A+Bastille+Day+%28Serpent+Single%29+%28Digital%29\" class=\"socials-small facebook-small\"  target=\"_blank\" title=\"Facebook\" >facebook<\/a>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/share?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.projekt.com%2Fstore%2Fproduct%2Farc00265%2F&text=Black+Tape+For+A+Blue+Girl%3A+Bastille+Day+%28Serpent+Single%29+%28Digital%29\" class=\"socials-small twitter-small\"  target=\"_blank\" title=\"Twitter\" >twitter<\/a>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.projekt.com%2Fstore%2Fproduct%2Farc00265%2F&media=https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-content\/uploads\/ARC00265.jpg&description=Name-your-price+on+Bandcamp%0D%0A+%0D%0A\" class=\"socials-small pinterest-small\"  onclick=\"window.open(this.href); return false;\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Pinterest\" >pinterest<\/a>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/plus.google.com\/share?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.projekt.com%2Fstore%2Fproduct%2Farc00265%2F&title=Black+Tape+For+A+Blue+Girl%3A+Bastille+Day+%28Serpent+Single%29+%28Digital%29\" class=\"socials-small google-small\"  target=\"_blank\" title=\"Google\" >google<\/a>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<h2 style=\"color:red;\">Name-your-price on Bandcamp<\/h2>\n<p><a href=https:\/\/blacktapeforabluegirl.bandcamp.com\/album\/bastille-day-serpent-single TARGET=BLANK><IMG SRC=\/store\/assets\/images\/Button-Bandcamp.png width=129><\/a> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":26213,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[74,25,556,30,98,99],"product_tag":[],"class_list":["post-26212","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_cat-black-tape-for-a-blue-girl","product_cat-darkwave","product_cat-digital","product_cat-ethereal","product_cat-goth","product_cat-neo-classical","first","instock","taxable","shipping-taxable","product-type-simple","border"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/26212","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=26212"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/26213"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26212"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=26212"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=26212"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=26212"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
