Her future is taken away. She tries to keep theirs alive.
At first, her voice must travel faster than the coming war. Later, it must protect a love, recognize kindness with a hidden price and keep other people's names out of reach. In the end, she speaks to the man she loves: let there still be a morning for you.
Barefoot unfolds through six distinct musical scenes: sweeping orchestral motion, intimate jazz-soul, tense noir, guitar-driven soul-rock, a close acoustic ballad and a symphonic finale. The same voice moves through them all, carrying intelligence, desire, fear and resolve.
Each chapter offers an English original, a Russian cover and a separate Russian original. Chapter Four also includes German versions. They share a dramatic arc while allowing each language and arrangement to reveal its own shades of the song.
