about
The albumʼs stirring opening track, "Everyone Knows", is propelled by an arsenal of tick-tocking percussion as Susanna admonishes a cheating lover she left behind while quietly wondering, "How can I go on without you?" The self-directed video, filmed and edited by Jonas Mailand, explores the idea of feeling alone while being together. It features choreography by Sulekha Ali Omar.
Susanna explains the song: "I tried to capture the very vulnerable feeling of leaving a relationship and the shame that often comes with being betrayed. Your world is suddenly turned upside down, and you are left with the aching feeling, "How can I go on without my love?" And the "love" is not just that specific person, but all the things you identify with the relationship, and very often how you identify yourself, who you are."
lyrics
Everyone knows
The secret is out
I am gone by now
I flew out the door
Everyone knows
It didn’t work out
Everyone knows
You have someone else
across town
Everyone knows
but How can I go on
How can I go on
How can I go on, without you
Everyone knows
The secret is out
I left town last night
I won’t change my mind
Everyone knows
It didn’t work out
Everyone knows
You’re not the faithful kind
Everyone knows
but How can I go on
How can I go on
How can I go on, without you

on labels like Rune Grammofon/ECM/Grappa Musikkforlag and since 2011 on her own label SusannaSonata. Critically acclaimed for both her own songs and her highly personal interpretations of other people's songs....more

Pratt takes you to a place you've never been to but you feel like you know it like the back of your hand. A wonderfully dreamy experience Carter Freemon

Not her more accessible album, to put it mildly. There are some tracks with a hidden beauty, but in most of them, the text is king and music almost disappears. Maybe it should have been released as "Spoken word"? alfayate

real and outstanding tone. soul soothing and grounding. full of humility. surprisingly diverse.
a real enrichment - you can easily tell, by the sound of this, that kali got some fundamental truths.
reminds me a bit about arvo pärts johannes passion at elatus label by candomino choir which is by far my most favourite classical album. this might be on the same level, I dont know for yet. k9
