Lāses sitas gar vaigiem un uzzīmē ceļu, Krustojumus šķērso pāri debesīm atkal pie tevis. Krīt lāse no gaisa un saplīst, Tad es varu apskaut tevi, Un tavs skatiens, Tas apvij kā varavīksne zemi. Uz viņas galda, Un rokās spīdēs, Mūsu krūzes Neizlīs. Lāses sitas gar vaigiem un uzzīmē ceļu, Krustojumus šķērso pāri debesīm atkal pie tevis. Krīt lāse no gaisa un saplīst, Tad es varu apskaut tevi, Un tavs skatiens, Tas apvij kā varavīksne zemi. Uz viņas galda, Un rokās spīdēs, Mūsu krūzes Neizlīs. Uz viņas galda, viņas galda Un rokās spīdēs, un rokās spīdēs Mūsu krūzes Neizlīs.

about

First album beginnings started in 2016, when lead singer Janis Irbe released his first single "Paskaties". At that time, the collaboration with the guitarist Janis Dubavs began. It can be considered that this song "Paskaties" and other Janis Dubavs audible ideas marked the direction in which the album would sound. But at the same time Janis Irbe has not lost his sound, quite the opposite - the sound has become more complete.
This album combines also later released songs like "Metro" in 2017 and "Rudenī" in 2018. As well as a new version of the song "Aukstajā gaismā es jūtu", previously included in the combined music album of Latvian artists "Veidenbaums. Vaidi un Gaidi". The album also includes ten other- unheard songs by Janis Irbe. The albums musical lyrics are writen by Janis. Except song "Aukstajā gaismā es jūtu", it was written by latvian poet Eduards Veidenbaums. Guitarist Janis Dubavs added a few guitar parts to the song "Paskaties" compared to the 2016 single. The single version is not included in the album. The album includes two versions of the song "Kopā iedegties varam". After a successful collaboration with Juris Lasinskis at the Music and Art Festival "Bildes 2018 " the collaboration continues on the song heard in the album "Daudz pamestas domas". In this song Juris Lasinskis sings a part of vocals. But the title of the album is taken from song lyrics sentence "Kas aizņēmis mūsu prātus" from the song "Izmanto mirkļus".
Although some of the music and lyrics had been produced for a long time ago, the inspiration to complete this album came to Janis just after the birth of his son Luiss. That's why the album also touches on family, relationships and everyday issues quite deeply. For example, the song "Izmanto mirkļus" encourages you not to give up and to finish things that has begun. But in song "Tava palodze" -that the children are revealing us and the places we live, and how we will live in the future.
