about this song
Salvatore Sciarrino describes let me die before I wake as the essence of a liquefied polyphony, where perception is thinned by transparency and exhausted by fleeting reflections. Mysterious connections to darkness, distilled by every fragment of light. It evokes the thresholds of night and the ebb and flow of consciousness, fertile moments for thought, marked by the sharp clarity of a horizon and distant echoes stirring the mind. Its title is drawn from a children’s evening prayer and alludes to a "clandestine" book on euthanasia.
