Dave Mohan’s “For Polina: Till Tears Run Dry” is a beautiful and emotive tribute to a life lost too soon to the war in Ukraine. With rich orchestration and the flowing soprano vocals of Juliet Lyons, the song conveys a powerful message of love and loss. The Latin and English lyrics add a sense of depth and meaning to the already poignant melody. Expertly mastered by Simon Gibson at Abbey Road Studios, the song is both cinematic and immersive, transporting the listener to a place of deep reflection and contemplation. A moving and powerful piece of music that showcases the talents of all involved in its creation.
There’s such a power that’s conveyed with just the flow of the keys alone, a masterful orchestral coalescence of strings, piano, and horns into this rich and luscious cinematic arrangement that captivates you deeply.
