"There are moments when music says more than words ever could. This album began in a time of turmoil — a world at war, hearts breaking from afar. The opening piece was born out of sadness and solidarity, a quiet tribute to the people of Ukraine and the pain they continue to carry. I wanted to capture that heaviness without losing our humanity — a melody that mourns, but also reaches for light.

As the record unfolds, the darkness slowly gives way. The second and third pieces breathe again — fragile at first, then full of warmth. They are small acts of hope, reminders that even after deep loss, there’s still beauty that insists on being heard.

The title track is our statement to ourselves and to anyone listening: that we spend so much of life worrying about what has been or what might be, forgetting the simple miracle of now. The rhythm of breath, the vibration of strings, the shared space between musicians and listeners — all of it is fleeting, yet it’s all we truly have.

The last two pieces speak of love — falling into it, and then learning to let it go as life moves in its own mysterious way. There’s tenderness in that release, a quiet understanding that some answers belong only to higher powers. Now Is All We Have is not just an album title; it’s an invitation. To pause. To listen. To feel grateful. For the present moment, and for each other." - Pauls Pokratnieks
