Aija Alsiņa – I Hope You Live (Official Performance Video) (Video)
“A miracle is to create good and push the boundaries of your consciousness. Miracle – it’s walking along the coast and feel the smell of the sea. A miracle is to enjoy the music that enriches our souls. -I Hope You Live- fills our inner vessel, which over time is depleted. -I Hope You Live- could be a Miracle? Yes.”
“Чудо – это творить добро и раздвигать границы своего сознания. Чудо – это прогуливаться по набережной и чувствовать солоноватый привкус моря. Чудо – это наслаждаться музыкой, которая обогащает наши души. -I Hope You Live- наполняет внутренний сосуд, который со временем истощается. -I Hope You Live- чудо? Да.”
