Aloneness is peace, but loneliness is suffering.

Agree. I was going through a really lonely time in my life when I wrote this song, and that's what it's about - redefining loneliness and making it into a sacred journey of SOLITUDE, with meany treasures to be harvested.

@@KERLImusic When loneliness transcends into aloneness, only then are we awake. The art of aloneness: “Rejoicing in your own aloneness is what meditation is all about. The meditator is one who dives deep into one´s aloneness, knowing that we are born alone, we will be dying alone, and deep down we are living alone. So why not experience what this aloneness is? It is our very nature, our very being.” 1:22

@@KERLImusicI legitimately read that as "Soulitude" Also... I relate. The song found me when I need it most. You are an incredible Artist... A goddess. I wish I could properly word how else I am feeling. But am sending healing comforting energy as I write this. And grateful for your spirit. Thank you for everything you share and bestow. I feel every piece of this song like medicine for the soul.

Well loneliness is better than being with bad/toxic or fake people, some backstabbers have made it hard trusting others. I used to find it difficult being alone when I was young but today I love being with myself cause I love myself, I can make it on my own. People need to learn to enjoy themselves. If you feel so bad(I mean it isn't fun but suffering?) when being alone then you have other issues that need to be addressed. I used to feel horrible due to loneliness when I was young due to mental health issues, not being able to navigate through life without others guidance etc. But today my mental health is soo much better, I take better care of myself and enjoy being alone aswell (ofc I prefer being with someone I love unless they behave bad/violent) but I still have a great day being with myself.

This is chilling and just perfection. You're an audio engineer goddess. Arguably my favorite so far, the power in your music takes my breath away.
It's crazy how your style in music has changed so drastically over the years. From Walking on Air, Love Is Dead, and Tea Party, to 21st Century Kids, Feral Hearts, Savages, now to more soul type songs like Witching Hour, Alchemies, Search And Destroy, and now The Art of Being Alone. Your songs are my childhood from elementary now in college, you've made an impact! Keep making music, Kerli! You never disappoint, you always slay, and keep slaying! ⚔🤍⚔ ⚔🖤⚔ ⚔🎀⚔

Reason why is I think that you were getting ahead of your time when the visuals were so underrated, they were glorious! Also, I feel like this was when you really started breaking out into your creative/story making side, both with the visuals and the lyrics, they were very pleasing! ❤

I truly hope that you've overcome the lonliness that inspired this song. I really hope that we all can get to a point where we're not lonely. I honestly don't know what it would take to make us feel less lonely. Maybe it's an intrinsically human experience, loneliness. Or, it's the burden of those of us with a highly creative and spiritual mind/soul. Who knows? Maybe Kerli, you have some insight?

This song is about solitude, which is one of the 5 paths to internal freedom that I'm exploring on OVERSOUL. Loneliness is not a bad thing...I think for any artist, seeker, thinker, mystic - solitude is essential. I have explored solitude deeply, with passion and I don't think I would be who I am without these experiences. But there's a season for everything. Currently I'm out of my solitude season actually.
