Love does not become meaningless because it ends. Through the Vale enters the grief that follows an all-encompassing connection and asks how we keep living with its absence.
At its centre is a difficult, tender answer: even knowing what it would cost, you would choose that love again. Grief belongs to the experience of loving; it cannot erase what made the love worth having.
The stories behind the sound.
The Heartstring Duet—Crown Me Dead and Crown Me Yours—by Liv Zander.
This song draws on Death losing the love of his life in the Heartstring Duet. THE55I’s focus is the paradox that even Death cannot escape grief: he can continue without that love, yet would choose it all again. This is the artist’s interpretation of the books’ emotional thread.
