Jäääär Live - Reinkarnatsioon

Live recording of band Jäääär. It's a dirty mix of live audio with video. For high quality sound please consider to buy an album.

Jäääär ("edge of the ice") was born on the 21st of January, 1991 in Tartu, and is noteworthy in the Estonian musical landscape not only because of its unique name. In reaction to the electronic musical tastelessness of the 80s, a group of young musicians came together to create something unique to touch their and their listeners' souls. The resulting "urban folk", performed on acoustic instruments, with deep and often penetrating lyrics, was an enchantingly refreshing new musical blend. From the beginning, their trademark was the extensive use of slide guitar, which in those days Tõun played using a porcelain shot glass nicked from his father's liquor cabinet. (Estonia was in the final year of occupation by the Soviet Union and at that time it was very difficult to acquire decent musical equipment).

LYRICS:

Vesivärvi piimjaks jooneks
Sinu näo teind unustus
Majakoht mu linnaplaanil
Ristiga veel märgitud

Täna tõesti sinu nägu
Meenutada oli lust
Vesivärvi piimjad jooned
See just ongi unustus

Püüan väljal tuult
Ma hüüan väljal tuult
Mu uuestisünnis pole ju
Miskit uut
Reinkarnatsioon

Palju palju mälestusi
Sinuga on seotud peas
Pole nägu pole kuju
Vaja enam selles eas

Täna tõesti Sinu nägu
Meenutada oli lust
Vesivärvi piimjad jooned
See siis ongi unustus
