fibrja - Gone Soul

A Woman returns to an ancient temple, haunted by living embodiments of her own memories, some more conscious than others. All of them, past and present, join in a chant about what they once had and now lost.

Director Statement

About the song - “Gone Soul” is the first single from the fibrja album “Witch List”, a story in nine acts that tells the adventures and misadventures of a woman who goes in search of a cure for her son. It’s a song about death in its most metaphorical sense: the loss of someone important, without that person actually dying. A death that allows rebirth - that’s what the ninth and final act of “Witch List” is about, albeit through a mournful approach. (Statement by fibrja)
