Love Always Wins
Marko Vojnić, who otherwise produces music under the name Foreigners Everywhere, brings a new musical dimension through the song "Love Will Always Win", created in collaboration with Hugh Vivian, singer from the cult British band Omega Tribe. This time under his own name, Marko explores a sound that differs from his previous works, creating an atmospheric track that combines introspective lyrics with rich and emotional soundscapes.
The music he produced depicts a mystical and meditative world. Through a slow tempo and subtle layers of sound, the song slowly builds an atmosphere that evokes a sense of transience, searching for light and hope in the dark. Minimalist elements and ambient textures, it seems almost hypnotic, underlining the feeling of an introspective search. The sounds have an ethereal quality with melancholic tones that create a sense of endless space and emotional depth.
Hugh Vivian's text, performed with characteristic emotional power, brings a poetic reflection on love, hope and the struggle for light in a world full of darkness. The text opens a picture of rising from the "depths of darkness" and searching for light that we often cannot see clearly, evoking a feeling of insecurity, but also hope. The metaphors of volcanoes and craters, along with images of "ultra violet light" that is invisible to the eye, allude to a hidden inner light that can break through the darkness.
Verses like "What do we see in the eyes of the children? Pools of resilience, oases of hope" bring a strong message about resilience and hope, especially through children who symbolize the future and the possibility of renewal. Hugh Vivian skilfully uses contrasting images such as "sunshine and shade" and "deserts where wind dust everything", depicting a world where light and darkness constantly intertwine, but where love always wins in the end.
The repeating chorus "Love will always win" carries the central message of the song. Regardless of all obstacles, personal losses or challenges, love remains the force that conquers all and heals all. Through images such as holding the hand of a loved one, the text highlights the transience of life, but also the importance of love that keeps us in the moment, even when we are faced with irreversible losses.
Hugh Vivian's vocals add emotional depth to the song, conveying a sense of vulnerability as well as inner strength. His voice floats above the soundtrack, adding to the feeling of introspection and reflection. Vivian's distinctive voice, combined with a carefully constructed sonic atmosphere, creates a song that is both contemplative and cathartic.
In conclusion, "Love Will Always Win" is a song that manages to combine a universal message of love with deeper, personal meditations on transience, resilience and hope. This collaboration, which combines minimalist and melancholic music with rich lyrical content, is the result of an introspective and mature musical expression.
Love Always Dubs Remix – Zion Train
The dub version of the song, masterfully covered by Zion Train's Neil Perch, introduces a whole new layer to the soundscape of "Love Will Always Win". Perch uses dub techniques like echo effects, reverb and deep bass lines to create a hypnotic version that retains the basic emotional core of the song, but transforms it into a more danceable and dynamic format. Perch's production adds layers of texture and space, expanding the sense of spaciousness and allowing the song to breathe in a new way.
The dub version allows the listener to experience the song through the prism of instrumental exploration, where rhythms and sounds take the lead, and Hugh Vivian's vocals come and go through layers of effects. This version offers a transcendental experience, where the original emotional message is retained, but interpreted through a rich and pulsating dub sound.
The collaboration with Neil Perch, a long-time friend and comrade, brings additional weight and authenticity to the whole project. Zion Train is known for creating dub music that carries a strong political and spiritual message, so this version is the perfect blend of deep bass and a message of love and resilience.
