Premiere: Elsa Birgitta Bekman – Desire Lines

We’re excited to today premiere the new video from Elsa Birgitta Bekman, a Dutch singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, music video director/producer with French and Swedish roots.

This is the second single of her forthcoming album, which is set for release in early 2020. For the video she spent two years building a model of her mother’s house in Sweden, which she regularly visited as a child. The video is a mix between the model house and the real place in Sweden. It features Elsa and her best friend and violin player Jade and was produced by her friend Harmen who is a professional videographer.

Elsa: “I wrote Desire Lines in November 2017 while I was in the process of moving to a new home; the house I’m currently living in. The thought of that idyllic house situated in the middle of nowhere, in the countryside and far away from my hometown, inspired me a great deal. If you climb up the dyke next to my house there’s a view of the sea. I was looking forward to living in a house so isolated from the world, surrounded by trees and fields, and being able to fully concentrate on my thoughts and music. I mused on my life and the choices that had brought me here. How during my teenage years I had been struggling with school and people’s expectations; how this struggle only lessened when I started focusing on my passion for music. I finally realized that I hadn’t been failing before because I was incapable or lazy, but because I wasn’t passionate about the things I was doing in life. So this song is for everybody who feels lost in life and doesn’t know which way to go. Trust your gut feeling, know your strenghts and weaknesses. Even if it seems inconvenient, carve your own path; a desire line.”
