Ksenia Parkhatskaya "Behind My Eyes" studio recording

This year, song by song, I am releasing my first album of original music “Colours”. And today I present one more single called “Behind my eyes”. Video made at the recording studio.

This song is about realisation of self. It’s a memory from my childhood. I remember so clearly this event: I was standing close to the window touching the glass with my nose, I started singing and i hear my own voice reflected from the window...

I heard my own voice and so my own reflection the window as If I saw myself from the outside, like the other person could see me. A wave of curiosity flooded me all of a sudden...

Why I AM in the body I am in. How did that happen? Why can I see and feel and be “myself” only but I can’t be someone else. How can I ever know how others are and if we experience the same world? Many of us would describe that “I am”, “my being” is... behind my eyes. That is how I started the journey to understanding and discovering, self and consciousness. Thinking of that, coming back to me in my teens...though still having similar questions, I wrote this song.

Most of you know me as a dancer. I have been dancing since i was 6 years old. Music came to my life through dance and through jazz. Today I am a singer in “K Quintet” jazz band and singer - songwriter.
