They describe the A Side, \"Losing,\" as a \"six-minute empty call for emotional response.\" Stately piano and anguished voice reverberate in a vaulted hall, before gradually building into a widescreen anthem of synths, drums, and soaring vocals decrying the steady deadening of life and love: \"It's deadly quiet in your old heart \/ Are you there? \/ I see dark skies on the rise \/ And daylight shows no remorse \/ And I realize it is my life \/ But It's losing all meaning.\" Swedish dark music icons Anna von Hausswolff and Henric de la Cour join the chorus as the song cascades towards an ominous horizon.The B Side, \"Glassy Eyes,\" showcases Kite's mastery of somber, sweeping balladry. Hushed church organ elevates and anchors Stenemo's devastated confessional, swaying between resilience and defeat. The band describes the song as a reckoning with \"the privileged and existential anxiety of drifting through life dispassionately,\" contrasted with \"the yearning to connect profoundly with others and a desire for experiences that stir the soul before facing one's final moments.\" Like a hymn, the emotion thickens as it deepens, approaching both darkness and divinity: \"Deep as I go, nothing to find \/ Oh catatonia, I won't cry \/ Nothing can grow, everything dies \/ Behind my glassy eyes.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"mysite","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53854961369425,"sku":"683950557642.0","price":1.65,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0967\/6721\/3905\/files\/4301729-3120195.jpg?v=1779704987","url":"https:\/\/vinylgroove.shop\/products\/kite-losing-glassy-eyes-vinyl","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
