The Story
Behind the song "Going to Berlin"π€π°πβ³
When I think about this song, I see a pomegranate representing the fruit of ambition. Ancient Egyptians regarded the pomegranate as a symbol of prosperity and ambition. It was the seeds of the same fruit that tempted Persephone in the underworld. The pomegranate is something strong & empowering that shows the world is your oyster. The song tells the story of a woman focused on indulging in her dreams and how to achieve them. She is not looking back. Sheβs got her eyes set on fulfilling herself. Sheβs going to Berlin.
I usually write from a serious, introspective place. This song is an exception. It's intended to be a bit more fun and to tell a story. A true story. The concept first came to me when I was hanging at the Russian baths in downtown Manhattan with a good friend discussing her growth as a human being and how much she's changed. She had left an old love behind in Europe to move to NYC and fearlessly follow her dreams. She then of course went to Berlin. I was just so proud of her and I started coming up with lyrics in my head, which I quickly jotted down and it eventually became this song. "Going to Berlin" is the 2nd single from my upcoming EP Β« Invicta.Β»
