A solemn and sombre instrumental tune with a rather minimalist aesthetic and overarching soundscape, Juliano’s touching composition on ‘Lamento’ strikes a piercing incision into the deepest chasms of your internal monologue. The rousing and stirring piece just lifts you into this world that’s so vivid, yet morose and dark in tone and emotion. Inspired by the current circumstances going on in the world today, ‘Lamento’ sheds a light on the injustices, the pains of war, the struggles of the everyday soldier and citizen when their nation is forced to endure hardship that’s inconceivable to the most of us.
It leaves you reminded of the inalienable right of every human, regardless of background, location, creed, or any other categorisation metric to be granted a life of freedom and safety. An incredibly emotionally resonant piece that doesn’t need to utter a word to deliver its outspoken message.
