If you look deeper, beyond the superficial answer, the real truth always intrigues and awakens curiosity. What is the mission of a creator? To please? Or to invite the audience where they have never been? It seems to me that it is not popularity, but the ability to concentrate and rise above reality without rules that defines creativity. True creativity inspires and changes lives.

The song "Saule, Sese" is described as more than just a musical piece; it's an invitation to look beyond superficial answers and daily noise. It weaves together Baltic sacredness, the breath of nature, archaic wisdom, and the inner searches of modern individuals. Jurga Šeduikytė emphasizes that true creativity lies in challenging the audience and rising above conventional rules, rather than solely pursuing popularity. She believes that genuine art inspires and transforms lives.

Šeduikytė highlights that "Saule, Sese" signifies a new direction in interpreting folk songs. She, along with Lubys and music video co-creator Deividas Akelis, are embarking on a journey to reinterpret Lithuanian folk songs from the heart, aiming to offer a fresh perspective for those who need it. "We need to grow ourselves and help others grow. We need each other," she stated.

With Edgar and the music video co-creator Deividas Akelis, we are starting a beautiful journey of reinterpreting our folk songs. We approach it in our own way, from the very depths of our hearts. I believe this will be a fresh breath for those who need it most. Because we need to grow ourselves and help others grow. We need each other.

Lubys shared that the song's origins stem from his long-standing fascination with world music and atmospheric soundscapes. He felt a natural connection with Šeduikytė's voice and authentic creative spirit, which brought an unplannable, genuine quality to the work. He views their collaboration as a reminder of art's essential value: authentic presence. The artists expressed their happiness in creating together, suggesting this authentic presence is a key trait of any creator.

“

I have always felt drawn to world music, ambient sounds, and those hard-to-describe beauties that are close to my creative heart. When I allowed myself to dive deeper into it, I heard Jurga very naturally. Her voice, authenticity, and creative flair brought what cannot be planned or created artificially – a living presence.

The accompanying music video visually represents the song's themes, honoring the roots of Baltic culture, the grandeur of nature, and the human connection to the ineffable. The creators hope listeners will feel the Baltic sacredness, their noble roots, the pulse of nature, and the profound connection linking humanity, the earth, and realms beyond ordinary understanding. "Saule, Sese" is now available on major music platforms.

We are happy creating together. Perhaps this is one of the most important traits of a creator – authentic presence.
