[@Osse_music]

I'm the architect of my construction I'm going into rearrange the pieces I'm a mechanism with no instruction Looking for the errors in my feelings And I'll expose all defects Breaking down the damages I'm fearless As I'll patch above the cracks Don't mess with my process I'ma become flawless I'll master the craft Of being on my own I will fix my heart I'll perfect my soul Everybody keep out While patiently I'll hone The art of being alone The art of being alone The art of being alone I'm the sculture of my infrastructure Molder of the mind Searching for meaning I'm the engineer of my disruption And I will destroy What's not worth keeping And I'll expose all defects Breaking down the damages I'm fearless As I'll patch above the cracks Don't mess with my process I'ma become flawless I'll master the craft Of being on my own I will fix my heart I'll perfect my soul Everybody keep out While patiently I'll hone The art of being alone The art of being alone The art of being alone The art of being alone The art of being alone

[@DeepValueOptions]

Aloneness is peace, but loneliness is suffering.

[@KERLImusic]

Agree. I was going through a really lonely time in my life when I wrote this song, and that's what it's about - redefining loneliness and making it into a sacred journey of SOLITUDE, with meany treasures to be harvested.

[@DeepValueOptions]

@@KERLImusic When loneliness transcends into aloneness, only then are we awake. The art of aloneness: “Rejoicing in your own aloneness is what meditation is all about. The meditator is one who dives deep into one´s aloneness, knowing that we are born alone, we will be dying alone, and deep down we are living alone. So why not experience what this aloneness is? It is our very nature, our very being.” 1:22

[@Convoluted-and-Exiled]

​@@KERLImusicI legitimately read that as "Soulitude" Also... I relate. The song found me when I need it most. You are an incredible Artist... A goddess. I wish I could properly word how else I am feeling. But am sending healing comforting energy as I write this. And grateful for your spirit. Thank you for everything you share and bestow. I feel every piece of this song like medicine for the soul.

[@ytbr3383]

Well loneliness is better than being with bad/toxic or fake people, some backstabbers have made it hard trusting others. I used to find it difficult being alone when I was young but today I love being with myself cause I love myself, I can make it on my own. People need to learn to enjoy themselves. If you feel so bad(I mean it isn't fun but suffering?) when being alone then you have other issues that need to be addressed. I used to feel horrible due to loneliness when I was young due to mental health issues, not being able to navigate through life without others guidance etc. But today my mental health is soo much better, I take better care of myself and enjoy being alone aswell (ofc I prefer being with someone I love unless they behave bad/violent) but I still have a great day being with myself.

[@DeepValueOptions]

@@ytbr3383 that’s true aloneness

[@alehguto]

Its just how one of my spiritual guides says: "Better for you to be happy alone than sorrounded with people that dont love you"

[@KERLImusic]

So well said, can I steal this for s post?

[@alehguto]

@@KERLImusic sure! Happy to share everytime he gives good advice

​@@KERLImusicI love listening to your music

[@lazythecat75]

It's crazy how your style in music has changed so drastically over the years. From Walking on Air, Love Is Dead, and Tea Party, to 21st Century Kids, Feral Hearts, Savages, now to more soul type songs like Witching Hour, Alchemies, Search And Destroy, and now The Art of Being Alone. Your songs are my childhood from elementary now in college, you've made an impact! Keep making music, Kerli! You never disappoint, you always slay, and keep slaying! ⚔🤍⚔ ⚔🖤⚔ ⚔🎀⚔

[@KERLImusic]

I definitely have switched it up a lot over the years, which vibe is your fave?

[@lazythecat75]

@@KERLImusic That's a tough question... I would say the 21st Century Kids, Feral Hearts, and Savages vibes. Reason why is I think that you were getting ahead of your time when the visuals were so underrated, they were glorious! Also, I feel like this was when you really started breaking out into your creative/story making side, both with the visuals and the lyrics, they were very pleasing! ❤

[@dulcedeinvierno1]

i know you for Feral hearts wich is for me an anthem for free and true love connected with wisdom, your art is definitely very aquarius and scorpian strange combination 🥰@@KERLImusic

[@yellowdressbookstore6602]

Feral Hearts came into my life when I connected with the essence of deer in the remote mountains ⛰️ 🦌 💙

This is chilling and just perfection. You're an audio engineer goddess. Arguably my favorite so far, the power in your music takes my breath away.

[@KERLImusic]

Thank you for the support dear!

[@Savage_Psyche]

This song is so relevant for me. It encompasses my life and how often I found power in being alone, how being alone brought me closer to my own voice and helped me to remember myself. No one can tell me who I am and only I can discover it for myself. That is the ultimate place of power. SELF-power.

[@iAmNothingness]

The art of being alone is the hardest to master but letting go of everything and everyone is a lesson we all must learn. Letting go of control.

[@ganj816]

Your music is truly helping me through some serious shit right now. Thanks for your art. Was waiting for this one and it really hit. Your voice straight penetrates my feelings.

[@KERLImusic]

This too shall pass babe!!! Big love!

[@WenzelCoxswain]

The vocal meter infers an unheard rhythm that weaves seamlessly to a very intense climax: DJs love that musical architecture for their own adaptations. I like that this track stands very well in the minimalism it describes. Kerli's vocal layering and lyrics are so moving and appreciated. Another perfect track, replay!

[@KERLImusic]

Thanks dear! Insane amounts of work went into this sound design and I'm so glad to see it reflected and appreciated. Blessings!

[@starchild199x]

You're really killing it with these last 4 songs! I haven't listened anything of yours since I first heard Walking on Air in 2010, and I'm falling in love all over again! I went back and listened to Shadow Works, absolutely one of my favorite albums now. I can't wait to hear what comes next!! 🫶🖤

Tried to tell a lady a few days ago, how she looked amazing as she was, and now she avoids me. Realizing having just a friend nothing romantic was impossible. Solfeggo is the best way i know to describe this song right now.

Very Bjork feeling, which I like but still has a pop sensibility. I like it. Grimes could probably do this too but Kerli's voice was made for this!

🤍🤍🤍 Often the artist who writes the song sounds the best on it because the melody is written with that voice, with their range and tones of it. But I'm sure both of these artists would kill this song. And love them both!
