#soen #hollowed #elisa 🎥 Costin Chioreanu
The song sees guitarist Cody Ford shine with an epic and intense Pink Floyd tinged guitar solo, whilst tender vocals are traded throughout from singer and founding member Joel Ekelöf and Italian star Elisa.
Elisa has firmly established herself as a global superstar during her more than twenty-year career. Her collaboration with Ennio Morricone, ‘Ancora qui’, was featured in Quentin Tarantino’s film, Django Unchained and its Grammy nominated soundtrack album. Just some of her other achievements include her albums going triple platinum and collaborations with the likes of Muse, Imagine Dragons, Tina Turner and Pavarotti & Friends.
Ekelöf comments, “’Hollowed’ is a song about moving away from the place and persons that have been your home. It’s also the first time we ever have had a guest appearance on one of our albums and the turnout was more than successful. Elisa is such a talented singer and she truly made this song reach the emotional intensity that it deserves.” Drummer and co-founding member Martin Lopez adds, “the message of the track is powerful and is about whether to make the decision of either leaving behind what once was a perfect harmony but has turned into dissonance, or to just stay there and maybe spend the rest of your life trying to revive something that is already dead.”

Come to me
Hold me close to your side
‘Cause I still depend on your hurting words
Talk to me
Ease my need to be heard
Choke this flame that is burning our home
Are we strong enough to move on
From this never-ending loneliness?
Will we find the will to find hope?
Will our demons soon be laid to rest?
‘Cause we’re nothing but a shadow
Nothing but a shade
Nothing but a shadow
Nothing but a shade
Promise me
That one day when you’re done
You will cut out this thorn from my heart
Because both of us are searching for a reason
A clue on why we have to carry on
So tell me why it feels like it is treason
To leave our home
‘Cause we’re nothing but a shadow
Nothing but a shade
Nothing but a shadow
Nothing but a shade
Time does nothing but help us heal
Still nothing will ever be as real as the times we had
And that has now left our lives
