about
“Ruth”, the new single from Black Sea Dahu’s forthcoming album Everything (out February 2026), traces back to a singular moment on tour: burying an injured pigeon in the backyard of that night’s venue. Out of that grew the vision of falling into the earth’s core, only to find it leading inward — into the landscape of our truest wishes for life, the choices we make along the way, and the blurred line between living and dying, which may not be a line at all. “Ruth” asks us to turn toward life’s big questions and meet ourselves with unflinching clarity.
lyrics
We buried the poor pigeon
She was left to die
When we found her by the highway
Dug her a grave
In the backyard of the stage
Ruth
If I could make this last forever I’d try
We sing her a song
(Ohje ohje ohje)
When a hole forms in the soil
And we're being pulled in
Deep in the roots hold
We see our lives unfold
Ruth
If I could make this last forever I’d try
The reason why it feels so hard
Is ‘cause you’re trying to do it all alone
Lady gray in the rocking chair
Trust the path will get you there
Dog on the floor
Garden in bloom
The power of love
Sing a song
Watch it level the room
What you're seeing now is just one version of the
Truth
If I can make this last forever I’ll try
Ruth
Shift your perspective
(Ooh ooh ooh ooh)
To find the nuts hidden in the grass
Breathe in
Breathe out
Close your eyes and gaze to the other side
Ruth
Sometimes I want to leave forever
I lied
What lies within
Whatever lies within
I’m here for you
What lies within
Whatever hides within
I’ll be there for you
I’m there for you
