The circle is complete: "Aver" is the sixth and last single from Mary Broadcast's concept EP PANIC. With the cycle of six songs and six videos, she and her indie pop rock band tell the painful but also inspiring story of a woman who has to reorganise her inner and outer world after a miscarriage. In the last song, "Aver," the protagonist goes through perhaps the most profound experience there is: the loss of a child. She finally finds herself in this experience, all the questions and feelings of the previous stories become meaningless. She surrenders herself completely to this pain in order to rise from it at the end. She finds catharsis at the end of the song cycle: „There was a veil”
lyrics
AVER
Aver moved in, my heart of gold
almost unasked filled every zone
she enlarged my world, made me shiver
made me fall asleep, I wept a river
And we built a house
of blossom trees, still we
failed in love
one or two heartbeats
Aver, sweet little Aver,
you cried don’t fear
but we couldn’t hear
the nights wear dark
we felt so gloomy
there was a veil
there was a veil
Aver set forth, slightly as a cloud
the world caved in, we died in ruins
and we slowed down, buried more than I have been
And we planted a garden
of blossom trees and red roses
together closer
one or two heartbeats
Aver, sweet little Aver,
you cried don’t fear
but we couldn’t hear
the nights wear dark
we felt so gloomy
there was veil
there was veil
Aver, sweet little Aver,
you cried don’t fear
but we couldn’t hear
the nights wear dark
we felt so gloomy
there was a veil
there was a veil
there was a veil
there was a veil
