Seinabo Sey performing "Burial" Live on KCRW

Hear the influences of Sweden and Gambia as Seinabo Sey shares songs from her forthcoming full length. Watch / Listen to the full session here: beta.kcrw.com/m...

Seinabo is partly talking about her father who passed in this song. When she says "flowers cross the sea", she is playing on her last name "sey", which is pronounced as "sea" . But while she lightly references her father being dead, I still interpret this song to mean burying a love (romantic) that is no longer healthy, a love that has soured.....when one person loves the other but the other doesn't love them back, or being abused by your spouse, being hurt. I think this song is an overall ode to loved ones lost, whether it be from mutual understanding, death or pain. Burial is symbolic to loss of close, heartfelt relationships, forever. My interpretation.

[@donatlola5186]

Great interpretion! I really like your idea. I thought kind of in the same direction, but I didn't know her father passed away. Thank you very much :)

2023 & this melody lives rent free in my headdd.. I just wish sheee would’ve really ate it up 😩😩😩

[@MidNovembersDreamaugnov]

I wish I could've sung this at my father's funeral last month. Missed opportunities. Seinabo is beautiful....her voice is enthralling.

"fire burns my back, I'm ashamed I ever thought you were mine, try smiling for them to see, that I'm happy you were freeeeee." I love this part.

[@kaelafuller1120]

I fell in love with this song in September and then my dad died in December, two days before Christmas. I truly believe this song prepared me for the storm in so many ways & I listen to it on the regular to remind me to just let it be. This song means everything to me❤️❤️

Can anyone else imagine Adele featuring on this?

[@matma01]

+Alexis Armstead Nope...this lady performed her OWN song splendidly!

[@alexisarmstead1654]

matma01 Never said she didn't.. still could see Adele on it

[@nikthough3110]

+Alexis Armstead She would outshine Adele

[@alexisarmstead1654]

Not in my opinion.. the emotion in Adele's voice would completely overpower this song. Nik Mish
