about

A song about freedom and the absence of it.
A song about bass player Dario who fled his homeland Bosnia 25 years ago.
A song about refugees now and in the past.

In 2020 we celebrate 75 years living in freedom. A perfect moment for Morgendust to release their new single Alien, a song about the long, hard road refugees still have to take to find a new but uncertain future. To live in freedom is something to care about and not to take for granted, something Dario can relate to.

Dario arrives in Holland in 1995, because his identity suddenly matters, a lot! He tries to escape ‘the lunatics” as he calls them, but they grow in numbers and he has to run, because he refuses to fight his own people. With only a bass in two parts in a rucksack he reaches Holland and finds a place in an AZC, a shelter for refugees of war.

“Here I sit in an AZC with nothing to do, which I cannot stand! Around that time I visit the city-library often to listen to music. I notice a note on the wall wich says: “Band PTS needs bass player” I audition and I’m in.... Now, 25 years later, with two of the former PTS-members I still make music in Morgendust.”

Alien is the third single by Morgendust.

lyrics

Alien

All the things I had in life
Now I see
They are gone away for good
Everything I once controlled
When I find out
That it’s gone away for good

Came here
By plastic
As tame sheep
The questions
The screaming
The waiting in line

Alien
Nations apart
Maybe we’re
Back to the start
Back to the start

Just the scent of neighborhood
Brings a tear to me
It’s gone away for good
All the colors in the sky
Are just pictures in my mind

Saw how
The money
Can blind you
Seduce you
Betray you
And makes you insane

Alien
Nations apart
Maybe we’re
Back to the start
Alien
Nations apart
Maybe we’re
Back to the start

If in my high moments
I have done some good
Offered some service
Shed some light
Healed some wounds
Rekindled some hope
Or stirred someone from apathy and indifference
Or in any way along the way helped somebody
Then this campaign has not been in vain.

Back to the start
Back to the start
Back to the start
Back to the start
