The story of this album is about a woman, having the time of her life, along the side of the love of her life. Everything seems to be perfect, what can go wrong? Then one morning, she wakes up, finding herself being alone, no sign of her love, but a poem in Spanish that he left for her. A poem that seems to have some meaning she cannot find in it. What has happened? While time passes without him returning, she undergoes feelings of unbelieve, desperation, sadness, despair, anger and hope. It is a time where this hope slowly fades and she tries to find a way to move on, without the man who meant so much to her. All the time one question remains: Why? Will she ever find the answer to it?

A bit darker with real drums and guitar. A different Gert. Melancholic at times, slower, taking his time to mesmerise us! Pure brilliance.
