Death is something natural. That's why it gives this picture a certain beauty, a kind of romance.

Fever Ray, thank you. This reminds me of a photo I cut from a magazine (Nat. Geographic?) as a teen in art class of a similar pose at Pompeii - the victim had a ring in situ on their hand, and one to the side of their body. I later discarded it, sadly - so I’m grateful to you for this. Stay well xx

I am left speechless and in awe of your words. When we see images, we all should feel the way you do and feel about the “what if’s”. The broad spectrum of it all is endless. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful thought process and where some of your lyrics and songs came from. Your words were so brilliant and I felt them in my heart and soul! So magical. 🖤🫶🏼🖤💋🖤

It's a special thing to put ones face so close to a lover's face and not feel like suffocating or bothered by bad or morning breath ..

Can someone explain to me the story of "Main"? I haven't been able to decipher it myself from the videoclips only?

Anyone know what the burial in the pictures is called and what's going on there? I know they aren't the Lovers of Valdaro (which is odd, since that was what was being referenced) but I couldn't find anything that looks similar. And it's odd how the 2 pictures are so similar but different. Is one a recreation? Really curious about what the story is behind this burial and where it was found and the relation between the 2 weirdly alike but different images.

What if they were total strangers and one's corpse simply fell on top of the other?

Fever Ray
We found an image a couple of years ago of “The lovers of Valdaro”, two 6000 year old skeletons found in Italy, holding each other. We fantasised about what might have happened to these two skeletons? Were they so in love they had their mouths and noses too close to each other, or couldn’t stop kissing so they died of carbon monoxide poisoning?
(This also inspired the lyrics for the song "Carbon Dioxide")
Or did a dinosaur kill them, and they died in fear holding each other? Was it a volcano, and they were protecting themselves from the lava burning their flesh? Maybe they weren’t in love at all; perhaps they were lifelong enemies facing their final struggle strangling each other?
I guess we have to decide for ourselves… but we felt there was a beautiful story there about the struggles of falling in love and the vulnerability you might feel being “examined” by your love interest who wants to make sure you really are the one they can trust and form a relationship that will last for eternity.
And with the Shiver video, we close the story of our dear protagonist “Main” and send them off to the ever-shifting sands of time.
