Aura Navarre was founded in 2000, but most of the work from that time has never been released. Andrea, however, did a lot of writings, lyrics and short stories in the mean time. When looking at these sometime later it became clear that a lot of the lyrics belonged together.
So in spring 2005 the idea of a conception started to grow. We dicided to arrange everything with only one instrument at a time, bass or piano, because the most important thing of the songs are the lyrics and their expression - the voice dominates every song. The conception named "The World’s Grinning Face" is divided into three parts ("mine", "yours" and "our"). The first part “mine†describes themes like depression, isolation, losing your own personality, the need to play a role in society, the feeling to be hunted and the longing for certainity. The second part “yours†deals with drug abuse, ignorance, revenge, the hunt for success and loving only what the eyes can see. Part three "our" is addressed to us all and it confronts the listener with the problem that not something is bad or destructive but we all are.
Right now we are finishing the recording of the songs and are looking forward to the album. Most of it is already done and all the while we are developing our homepage. We’ll keep on working!
