Unexpected news from Žilvinas Žvagulis and Irena Starošaitė

The couple has released a joint song titled 'There is a Real Island'.

Lithuanian artists Žilvinas Žvagulis and Irena Starošaitė have collaborated to release a new song titled 'There is a Real Island'. According to the duo, the lyrics were inspired by their beloved city of Klaipėda, and the song honors the nostalgia they feel for it. The lyrics were penned back in the 1990s, prompted by a memorable experience of listening to 'Islands on the Stream' by K. Rogers and D. Parton.

The song's music video captures iconic locations around Klaipėda, including the port, quays, and the cherished Juodkrantė shore, which evokes fond memories for both artists. The vibrant energy of the music video was enhanced by the live performance of skrabalai, a traditional wooden instrument, whose sounds reverberated across the waters during filming, adding a rich local flavor to the work.

The timing of the song's release is significant as it coincides with the onset of warm spring days, contrasting with the fact that the filming took place during the last warm days of autumn. This strategic timing suggests a connection to renewal and nostalgia intertwined in their artistic expression.
