This is a song that talks about feelings of love that are so deep that they feel painful, and how being separated from someone you love deeply hurts. Whilst this song refers to the difficult emotions of lovers who are far from one another, it also alludes to another level of emotion when separation is caused by social or economic reasons, or duties that may force people to separate.

Ballaké Sissoko is my favorite kora player, and following his musical life has led me to some of my most beloved musical discoveries.
This latest release is every bit as gorgeous as all of his prior work.
And it is so clear how he brings the best out of each of his collaborators. Charlie Moonbeam
