A new, second single from the upcoming benefit compilation "Healing Sounds - Croatia Earthquakes Relief Project" was released today. The song is called Short Existence and is the work of Sisak producer Zarkoff. The fact that his hometown was also affected by the earthquakes particularly impressed him with the sight of a ruined church. Although he does not declare himself a believer, the painting itself left a deep impression on him, about which he said the following: “That church has a personal meaning for me. I’m not religious, but my parents ’house, where I grew up, is only 300m from there, so the view of that church has always been something“ homey ”to me. And that morning before the earthquake I was there, I used to walk the dog next to that church, but I never went inside in my life.”

 

The author of the photo is Goran Jakuš. About the idea for the cover of this single, illustrator/designer Luka Vucić said the following: "Considering that an organist named Stanko Zec died in the earthquake in that church, I thought it would be okay to put him still playing. The accident happened. out of his love for the organ and the church. He had a need to go to his organ, to play, to sing, and to take care of them, which he did for many years with great love. " Mr. Zec was reportedly killed while cleaning an organ that had been covered in plaster and dust from a minor earthquake the day before.
