Yana was born in 1990 during the crux of the dissolution of the Soviet Union. This nationalistic shift inspired the former punk musician, who found solace in the city's isolated electronic scene while drawing on Western influences.
DIY collective Johns' Kingdom, of which Kedrina is a member, represent a new guard of underground Russian artists building an inclusive community and utilizing internet resources to build international relationships.
Perhaps the best example of the latter is the producer's widely-acclaimed debut EP January Sun, which was released on Mike Simonetti and Mike Sniper's new imprint 2MR, after they discovered her songs on SoundCloud. Despite composing in one of the world's most austere climates, there's a warmth to her minimalist music, reminiscent of similar-minded outsiders including Hype Williams, Laurel Halo, and pre-Art Angels Grimes.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't know why, but
I can′t be with you, boy
Just love you, boy
I'm not lying to you, but
I can't be with you, boy
I don′t know why, but
This life is strange, that′s all I know
You have to go and go alone
This time, I have to let you go
I hate it, but you gotta go
I love you, boy
I can't be with you, boy
I′m not lying to you, but
It's true, it′s true
It's true (It′s true)
I can't be with you, boy
I don't know why, but
I can′t be with you (I can′t be with you)
Rain, rain, rain, rain all day
I just love you, boy
I'm not lying to you, but
I can′t be with you, boy
I don't know why, but
This life is strange, that′s all I know
You have to go and go alone
This time, I have to let you go
I hate it, but you gotta go
Ooh
Oh, oh, oh
I can't be with you
I can′t
I just love you, boy
I'm not lying to you, but
I can't be with you, boy
I don′t
know why, but
This life is strange, that's all I know

Loved her last album and like what I have heard from the new album. This would be perfect in Cafe Del Mar in Ibiza.

Как написано было много лет назад к описанию альбома Moby - Wait For me: «тоска светлая, но от этого не менее щемящая».
Таким для меня является этот трек.
