Hello Earth

About Hello Earth

Sixth track of The Ninth Wave suite. The choral section, performed by the Richard Hickox Singers, is taken from a Georgian folk song called 'Zinzkaro' ('By The Spring'), which Kate heard performed by the Vocal Ensemble Gordela on the soundtrack of Werner Herzog's 1979 film Nosferatu The Vampyre. The lyric translates as: 'I was passing by the spring. There I met a beautiful woman with a jug on her shoulder. I spoke a word to her and she left, offended. .
