Sven B. Schreiber (sbs) I got into Dikajee's music after becoming facebook friends with Olja Karpova and finding out that "Dikajee" is her alter ego. I'd call her music prog in a more general sense, since she's got a quite distinct vision of the genre, not following its typical stereotypes - something I always appreciate very much. She focuses heavily on good songwriting ideas rather than on "special effects". Favorite track: Lily Of The Valley (feat. João Filipe).

progdolphin Like any well-rounded metalhead, I have a soft spot for other, fluttery music. Dikajee delivers a warm, well-mixed slab of chamber folk that contains delights at every corner and achieves what many others lack--a true sense of rhythm and progression. Top notch vocal melodies (diverse at that), impressive/taseful bass and drum performances by all involved, powerful guest spots from different instruments, beautiful piano passages... not a dull moment in this fairy dust shrouded musical wonderland. Favorite track: Millions Of Flashes.

Nickie Harte Kelly Here is one that is among my favourite releases of 2021. Dikajee has released 10 digital recordings, this is the one that brought her to my attention. Here are all originals, with a few guest appearances. Dark chamber folk is the focus here, with delicate instrumentation and the St Petersburg singer’s exquisite voice entwining throughout all of the pieces. Not all is faery and light, however, for there are also heavier progressive elements throughout. Favorite track: Gloomy Flowers Blooming (feat. Fiona Rüggeberg).

Forest 05:07
Words are too pale to describe all the shades in the sky Tiny flares of light. Tonight is worthy to stay in tonight. Maples touched with crimson proudly showing off their mantles in the light breeze Magnificent dawn. So calm, so high, breeze says "Join me in flight" Once I'm gone into the woods Once I'm gone into the forest Wishing someone found my footprints wish I could get lost Will they call me or will it be too late  And I will become the fall Become the dawn the loss, the river you're getting across. Guide lunar path before hide Tomorrow's new sight And the shore is so far so black But so far I am not coming back Once I'm gone into the woods Once I'm gone into the forest Wishing someone found my footprints wish I could get lost Will they call me or will it be too late  And I will become the fall Become the dawn the loss The water between the shores. I'm gone into the forest, I'm gone into the woods. Silken mist of stars giving everything a silvery cast Glorious air My only will is to make the time stand still.

Ask her if she feels the wind playing with her hair Touching milk-like skin on her gentle face Ask if she hears the trembling  Of wings, birds flying by, traveling  The distant islands Wondering these lands Ask her if she’s getting warm by the sun, by the sun If she sees the promises of the dawn, of the dawn Ask her if she feels the time passing by, passing by If she’s like calm clouds in the sky in the sky Ask her if there are butterflies in her belly her belly When it’s time of blooming Lillie of the valley, of the valley If she wants to sing how high the sky is, the sky is, Ask her if she’s going to open her eyes, her eyes Ask her if she loves it here all around, around Isn’t it too soon to rest in the ground Ask her if she feels for you like she did, she did Ask her if she’s getting on her feet, her feet

Painful And a little broken heart A little left behind Oh it left behind Weather in me as on sinking ship I am not on a list of those who cached the boat Noname mood No stand up So what If I could find the right words Things might get looking up Crashed and becoming noone Distances never go undone Distances only can get longer And go round round round Seeking, weak and weary, Sinking, low heat o'er him streaming Throws shadows on the floor. Lies floating, dwelt alone Hoping. In the world of moan My soul needs a tiny glance of hope Crashed and becoming no one Distant seas goes undone Distant seas only can get deeper And go round round round Tell me what's the matter with me What's wrong with the color of meaning I wish you could tell me Cause I doubt if I still can sparkle If you see my fire in millions of flashes Crashed and becoming no one Distant hills never goes undone Distant hills only can get higher And go round round I doubt if I still can sparkle If you see my fire

River Rite 07:13
Yesterday I was drowning myself In the depth of self non-confidence Imagined it lives in here Waves in some part of me Purity and silence Clarity has a downside My darkest dreaming's lair Is fluttering in my hair I'll take them to the river I'll drop them into the water I want to see them drowning I want to see them drowning My lost ways will be in them I'll cast them into the water I want to see them drowning I want to see them drowning Yesterday I exhausted my self In the bed of non-coincidence And the morse-coding temples I hear Like a ghost, without skin, I'm playing dead by the river Where the agony shapes into grace and virtue. There we're all pagan in our in pain, in facing the truth I've decided to create my own rite Open wide to the flow I will sigh I'll take them to the river I'll drop them into the water I want to see them drowning I want to see them drowning

...I found an overwhelming someone somewhere And I believe nothing here promised to be mean About to open up the window let the wildest wind in I just feel something I don't want to play replacing points of view I'm not trying only to play the game I win I just feel something All of the lies that I've seen Does not make me wonder who is within I am the guilt I am the guilty Prisoner of the cell I'm building What if it's wrong seeds I'm guiding  And I will take care of the dead garden A lonely soul a lonely soldier The underwater moon beholder And only fall and only falling I am alone I am so lonely ...

Misery 02:32
Go away don’t show up next to me While I deal with my own misery I can’t deal with it while you’re looking at me Pitying me And even though it tears me into pieces I’ll stay sole a couple of days at least Turning shadows and thorns into the Poetry

Scriptwriter 03:11
First every other day But soon every night You had this troubled dream From side to side Can you picture what  Will be if the Scriptwriter in your head Is courageous enough Scriptwriter in your head Is courageous enough Enough! Scriptwriter in your head Losing her temper till Water boils in your ears  Staircase wit Instead of lilies and dandelions  No wildflowers, just a Solitary soldier in the field For every other day  I replace with night So what was fiery black is black And white Can you picture what will be if the Scriptwriter in your head  Is speaking on your behalf Losing his temper till  Water boils in your ears  Staircase wit Instead of lilies and cornflowers No wildflowers, just a Solitary soldier in the field The Devil decorates your disgusting thoughts You dream to run away and sleep tight until the morning

Fall always comes as the next part in the book of my curses And brings hours, days, and months of solving it all alone But since your voice keeps me, fall is my favorite season I've had 29 glorious beautiful magical falls And it makes me feel glorious beautiful magical And by the way, I've never thought this way of anyone And it makes me feel glorious beautiful magical And by the way, I've never felt this way to anyone Snow always greets me with so unexpected Time of feeling blue and looking rad at the same time But since your voice keeps me I adore all this standby Glorious beautiful magical winter 29 times And it makes me feel glorious beautiful magical And by the way, I've never thought this way of anyone It makes me feel glorious beautiful magical And by the way, I've never felt this way to anyone Spring's purity cures me with wild honey and dew And you put together curious things I thought I knew Some egghead out there seems to get so much fun But it's glorious beautiful magical one And it makes me feel glorious beautiful magical And by the way, I've never thought this way of anyone It makes me feel glorious beautiful magical And by the way, I've never felt this way to anyone

"The Sunset" In the clouds above your roof, you're reading An ulterior defeat Make a joke and go meet your friends Take a rest and get distracted Watch how some things still mean something for someone Come back home and watch it comes back again I'm addicted to the river I'm addicted to the river When you reach your darkest hour When you reach your final harbor You shiver When you saw the sunset When you know rejected And your flowers blooming On the Sunday gloomy When you're drowning underwater It's best to reach the bottom To push off and rise all in silver I'm addicted to the river I'm addicted to the river I'm addicted to the river When you reach your darkest hour When you reach your final harbor You shiver When you saw the sunset When you know rejected And your flowers blooming On the Sunday gloomy Saw the sunset Know rejected Flowers blooming Gloomy flowers blooming "Rise all in silver" So my life became a pyre Things are getting so big I don't know my own desire I can't stand critique And I'm asking myself why Is it happening exactly to me And when I'm finally getting something I don't need anything   "Gloomy flowers blooming" When you saw the sunset When you know rejected And your flowers blooming On the Sunday gloomy Saw the sunset Know rejected Flowers blooming Gloomy flowers blooming

You are And even in the dark times, I wonder Is that the wind or Is that your voice call Collapsing me apartment Are you, are you here? You are here Optimistic stuck in me Something mystique is up to me Here with me Self or piece of memory Something mystique is up with me Here with me You are Nighttime goes by Biological Hey, am I out of this? Oh, no I am a human being fool Fulfill routines Rules on ruins Are you here? You are here Optimistic stuck in me Something mystique is up to me Here with me Self or piece of memory Something mystique is up with me Here with me You are

about

«Forget-Me-Nots» flowers have a lot of symbolic meanings. They are the flowers that are given for the memory, goodbye flowers, flowers to remember about something celestial on earth. They look like little stars. Like Friars Lantern, like little lost souls, flashes, someone’s broken or living dreams. The album is about a human experience realizing the mortality of everything and of self. About someone who wants to run away from society (forget-me) and get lost in the wild but at the same time fears oblivion (nots).
