Singer Brings Life-Changing Insights To Song

Musical artist Diana Černe recently released a new song based on the 63rd “insight” from her 2020 book, “99 Clear Thoughts That Changed My Life,” which has been reprinted this year due to its popularity.

The book itself has proven to be a meaningful gift for special occasions in Latvia, with bookstore representative Ineta Škapare noting that it frequently chosen for holidays and graduations.

“Songs of Insight,” as the project is aptly titled, is a unique avenue for Černe to share the realizations that deeply influenced her own life with a wider audience.

“Songs of realization came to me quite unexpectedly,” she said . “I woke up one morning and felt that I wanted to sing out my insights, from which I regularly inspire myself to be the best version of myself. I created a poll on social media where my followers voted unanimously to sing these insights to the piano. So I sat down at the piano and the first songs of realization flowed from the depths of my soul, so that today you can also hear the first of them,”

The debut “insight” song was recorded at Riga’s White Wide Production studio using the human-friendly 432 Hz frequency.

The world will be the first to hear these new songs performed live on December 15 at a Christmas acoustic concert in Alūksne Jaunajas palis. “Saule dziezma,” Tirune’s Christmas concert program, will showcase not only these new songs, but other works from Černe’s repertoire including soulful tracks from her album “Ieraugi Pats Sevi,” and her latest songs that are popular on Latvian and German airwaves.

Concert attendees will be treated to a unique experience: heartwarming readings of “pure thoughts” from her best-selling book, highlighted by a live vocalist interpretation of these insights. The talented Mārtiņš Roziņš, who recently won the prestigious 2024 Annual Award in the Valmiera region for education as the top music teacher, will accompany Cerne on the grand piano, double bass, and guitar.

The concert will be held inside the Piano Hall of the Alūksne New Palace. “Diana Černa’s first concert in Latvia after 10 years of playing music in Germany ended with a standing ovation in September this year at the Stämerien Palace, inspiring the singer to create this special program.
