Evening Light by Hans Peter Neergård
– After the LP "Til deg" (2023) was so well received, I’ve been working on a new album. It includes a lot of new music, as well as some pieces I wrote many years ago that have now become relevant again.
Engagement for those affected by injustice has been with me throughout much of my musical development, and the album "Evening Light" is a result of this.
The world has changed in recent years. America has changed, the Middle East, and Europe.
How much is a human life worth? Is a child from Palestine or Ukraine as valuable as one from the USA, Russia, or Israel? Every evening, we have been witnesses to shocking depictions of war, violence, and atrocities through the media.
In addition, we have the climate crisis, which could result in massive wildfires, floods, landslide disasters, hunger, and large refugee streams. Still, Europe must now re-arm!
Produce defense materials and prepare for future resistance. As if this is what our planet needs right now!
Can there still be light ahead, on the horizon? Yes, there must always be room for optimism, joy, positive thoughts, and ideas! We humans will probably always steer toward the light on the horizon and the good solutions. In the end.
