Welcome to Taste Test, a song/video review series of SubmitHub-only gemstones
It’s easy to forget how big the universe really is. Just fathom a dark, swirling cosmos of celestial bodies and gaseous rocks in orbit, tangling around each other in a pre-destined expedition that mines endless possibilities outside our window but also the beauty buried in the human consciousness. What a concept. A Swedish craftsperson of extraordinary and stunning abilities to tap into such a boundless landscape, time also falling into her web, Hanna Turi pokes and prods the imagination and unlocks immense poetry with her song “Expand Your Mind.” The piano-built ballad, allowing her voice to peek through its startling white layers, is the right medicinal dosage we, as tragic and weary human forms, so desperately need in 2019. “I saw a woman, strong and wise / Swirled up in my colors with a flashlight,” sings Turi. She paints with every color of the physical and intangible into a melting pot of otherworldly hope and true, pure wonder. One way or another, you’ll be moved by Turi’s stark words.
