I’m cutting the cord Let them blow by Little by little What is a norm? I’m breaking my cage Suspended reflections Emerging in blossom A different point of view I owe you nothing Don’t owe you pretty, no! Not gonna beg you for Nothing at all I’ll be myself Be myself And you don’t own me I’m no one’s trophy I owe you nothing I owe you nothing I owe you nothing at all I’m angry and worn out They tell it’s for the best Doesn’t make them any smarter It’s mostly for the worst I’m angry and worn out They tell it’s for the best Doesn’t make them any smarter It’s mostly for the worst I owe you nothing Don’t owe you pretty, no! Not gonna beg you for Nothing at all I’ll be myself Be myself And you don’t own me I’m no one’s trophy I owe you nothing I owe you nothing I owe you nothing at all I owe you nothing I owe you nothing at all I owe you nothing I owe you nothing at all

Valediction 05:12
I should have seen it coming
 There were those little signs
 You’re always smarter afterwards
 The shivering inside Which part of no didn’t you understand
 Why wasn’t my word worth being heard
 Why didn’t I see it coming And I run, run, run, run, run to get my life back
 This is my valediction
 I leave you in the past
 This is my valediction
 To a friend I lost And I run, run, run, run, run to get my life back
 This is my valediction
 I leave you in the past
 This is my valediction
 To a friend I lost The world does not belong to you
 You’re just a guest on it
 The shaking’s in every part of me
 The silence is so loud Which part of no didn’t you understand
 A N, an O means no, means no, means no, means no, means no
 This is not so hard my friend And I run, run, run, run, run to get my life back
 This is my valediction
 I leave you in the past
 This is my valediction
 To a friend I lost And I run, run, run, run, run to get my life back
 This is my valediction
 I leave you in the past
 This is my valediction
 To a friend I lost

GOING WITH THE MOON I’m going with the moon Leaving all behind Abandoning myself Alla corrente di marea. I’m going with the moon Leaving all behind Abandoning myself Alla corrente di marea I’m back and let’s plan La tranquillità Intense and resilient Pour le départ I know I can do it La sincerità Active and with ease Pour déborder de vie I’m going with the moon Leaving all behind Abandoning myself Alla corrente di marea I’m going with the moon Leaving all behind Abandoning myself Alla corrente di marea I’m closing the chapter La concentrazione Loud and perplexing Pour le doute de moi-même I’m all by myself L’intuizione Calm and reflecting Pour la compréhension I’m going with the moon Leaving all behind Abandoning myself Alla corrente di marea I’m going with the moon Leaving all behind Abandoning myself Alla corrente di marea Cégiu (2021)

I'm on the road To a different world Who knows how long it takes I'm done with you And off I go On the road To a different world As if ignoring evidence Would make it go away Categories and expectations Seem resistant to new ken Images perpetuated Time and time again Ignorance and representations Of realities without change I'm on the road To a different world Who knows how long it takes I'm done with you and off I go On the road to a different world Illusory correlation Ignorance everywhere Judgmental overgeneralization Oversimplification at its best Disillusion everywhere Self-absorpted pleasures The damage made of vanity Courage is nowhere I'm on the road To a different world Who knows how long it takes I'm done with you and off I go On the road to a different world   I'm on the road To a different world Who knows how long it takes I'm done with you and off I go On the road to a different world I'm on the road To a different world Who knows how long it takes I'm done with you and off I go On the road to a different world

Reflection 02:40
REFLECTION Keep up the illusion Live your own life Consider and reconsider Re-evaluate There's no separation Between principles and life Each step is a decision Of vital scale and size An eternal conversation With those who stroll around In the irreversible process Of becoming and of change Constant scrutinizing Reflecting everywhere The passing by of life and time Transformation will unfold Cégiu (2021)

I want you to know That you’re not alone When you’re all alone Not knowing where you belong Flying through the night Diving in the darkness Travelling lights in your mind I want you to know That you’re not alone When you’re all alone 
Not knowing where you belong Flying through the night 
Diving in the darkness Travelling lights in your mind La mémoire épisodique Une apathie 
Un manque du mot La mémoire sémantique ne plus reconnaître les proches une résistance irrationnelle au soin I want you to know That you’re not alone When you’re all alone Not knowing where you belong 
Flying through the night Diving in the darkness Travelling lights in your mind La mémoire implicite la grande confusion 
La tristesse Et tu danses danses danses avec nous Et tu chantes chantes chantes avec nous Et tu ris ris ris avec nous Et tu danses chantes ris I want you to know That you’re not alone When you’re all alone Not knowing where you belong 
Flying through the night Diving in the darkness Travelling lights in your mind I want you to know That you’re not alone When you’re all alone Not knowing where you belong Flying through the night Diving in the darkness 
Travelling lights in your mind Bon courage de m’effacer Bon courage de me diffamer Bon courage de changer la mémoire 
Bon courage, bon courage

The world is dressed in gold 
I am waiting all alone 
A heavy scent wrestling with time 
A peaceful glowing goodbye Sitting in the sun 
Knowing I arrived 
 A cricket here 
A bird over there 
 Golden and so warm Calm I know Of the closing end Serene and brimming laying there 
A lazy cat
 A quiet flame 
In warming autumn light Sitting in the sun 
Knowing I arrived 
A cricket here
 A bird over there Golden and so warm The world is dressed in gold 
I am waiting all alone
 A heavy scent wrestling with time
 A peaceful glowing goodbye

about

Cégiu sucht die Schmerzensgrenze. Dieser Eindruck manifestiert sich, je länger mensch ihr neues Album «Glowing Goodbyes» hört. Die Musikerin/Produzentin/Komponistin erkundet allein schon thematisch ein faszinierendes Spektrum im Zeichen des Abschieds. Dazu gehören beispielsweise das Erleben von Demenz sowie erzwungenen Rollenbildern im engsten Umfeld, der gute Freund, der sich an einem Abend plötzlich als Monster entpuppt, das Insektensterben oder der menstruelle Zyklus.

«Ein Abschied ist für mich nicht ein einmaliger, abrupt endender Prozess, sondern besitzt immer ein Nachglühen. Diese Message tragen Musik und Albumtitel in sich.»
Cégiu

Zugleich geht Cégiu musikalisch Distanzen, die sich nur wenige Schweizer Musiker:innen in dieser Form sowie Ausprägung trauen. So wispert sie ganz nah mit intimer Kopfstimme ins Ohr, als ob sie einem Kind ein Wiegenlied vorträgt, kann dann aber auch aus voller Brust singen, sprechen, schreien, schluchzen oder besser: klagen. Das auf Englisch, Französisch, Italienisch, was wiederum auf die nur ansatzweise ergründete Herkunft der in Horw/Luzern lebenden Musikerin schliessen lässt. Wurzeln in der Deutsch- sowie Westschweiz und im Friaul (Italien) bilden Geschichte und Inspiration zugleich.

«Die Beats bestehen aus Insektengeräuschen, welche ich auf den Gräbern von mir bekannten bis geliebten Menschen aufgenommen und verarbeitet habe.»
Cégiu

Instrumental kommen DAW-Eskapaden hinzu, teilweise mit bis zu 60 Ableton-Spuren, welche sich aus Vocals, Synthies, Celloklängen und Grooves der studierten Cellistin sowie Ableton-Künstlerin zusammensetzen. Produziert von ihr selbst in Zusammenarbeit mit ihrem amerikanischen Gegenstück, Produzent, Musiker und Komponist Aaron Nevezie (Jojo Mayer’s Nerve, Iggy Pop, Dalai Lama), ist «Glowing Goodbyes» so ein vielfältiges Album geworden dank Up-Beat-Stücken, Epik, Pathos, Effekten und viel Intimität. Das ist nicht mehr Musik, die an eine Walderkundung im Sonnenlicht oder Wicca-Traditionen erinnert. Nein, das ist ein kritisches Werk aus inneren und äusserlichen Perspektiven geworden, zwischen leuchtenden Höhen und dunkelblauen Tiefen, performt von einer rastlosen Künstlerin, die Gefühlswelten evoziert. Eine Einladung, selbst auf die Suche nach seinen Schmerzensgrenzen zu gehen.
