Before we get too comfortable Before we get comfortably numb Let us draw our plans
2.
emboldened animals venture into cities As treetops scribble tales into the sky Nature finally is taking its deep breath Act quickly before somebody breaks the myth Live & let live Boars are settling down for picnics on the streets Growing bolder as the days go by Deer are snacking on some pretty potted plants Adapting to this new environment Live & let live Hearing chirps instead of sound pollution Paying close attention to the clouds Life is tied together, roots connecting Feeding off another or we’ll die

Look Up 02:40
Why don’t you look up? It is all in the skies

5.
Love’s shining through the cracks of separation Look from above and listen to nature
6.
Take my hand, take my hand because we’re falling There’s a weight in me Feel the gravity Heading straight to our feet How long will it take/ us to overcome Imposed physical distance Take my hand, take my hand because we’re falling Brave women over 80 shoving their shopping carts They’ve seen so much more Small heroes carrying on with their every day lives Opening their stores Working the earth, sharing, helping us feel less fragile Waving, generously locking eyes and smiles We’re falling
7.
You are my brother, platonic lover In you I confide My spiritual guide With just one glance You see my thoughts Unanswered questions Read my mind A shining stone As black as oil spills Absorbs the moonlight Holding on to our inner selves And connecting us with the universe
8.
I’m not giving up I’m going to get myself heard no matter what I appreciate your expectations But they’re my source of limitation I’m not giving up Might disappoint you but that’s just tough luck Profound transformation can unfold quietly As a variety of changes and interventions And often small disruptions accumulate across time At a certain moment – impossible to predict – A tipping point or phase shift is reached And the system as a whole transforms

about

'Tipping Points' is about a feeling of the world changing around us,
small disruptions that are seemingly unrelated but are announcing a more systemic change. Written principally in confinement, the album reflects thoughts, ideas and happenings during these strange times on a global but also on a personal level. Trying to make sense of a rippling effect
that interconnects social movements, environmental warnings and a deeper questioning of oneself and one’s purpose.
And amongst all this, the album is about hope, our ability to cope, to connect for short moments with strangers’ souls, to seek for better ways out of the myriad of chaos and see beyond all that is happening around us. To join the dots that separate us in order to create support networks and meaningful growth.
In order to transmit this idea, we have collaborated with artist Ramon Isidoro, who has created different variations based on one artistic concept and inspired by the album.
Struggles of black against bright colors, shining through and opening our minds towards new visions.
The series "Süma" consists of 12 works of art that are partially included in the different elements of the album’s artwork.

'Tipping Points' (Puntos de Inflexión) trata de una sensación del mundo cambiando a nuestro alrededor, pequeñas disrupciones al parecer no relacionadas que anuncian un cambio más sistémico e integral. Compuesto principalmente durante el confinamiento, el álbum refleja pensamientos, ideas y acontecimientos durante estos días extraños, tanto a nivel global como también personal.
'Tipping Points' habla del deseo de conectar en un sentido más universal con lo que nos rodea.
La música de Süma se caracteriza por su delicadeza y los sonidos inmersivos que envuelven y te transportan a lugares atemporales donde perderte, sin distracciones. 'Tipping Points' es su tercer álbum y presenta una clara evolución de su repertorio sonoro hacia motivos más electrónicos e irreverentes, debido a la necesidad de deshacerse de cosas que ya no sirven, de bailar y encontrar una luminosidad más efervescente. Puntos de inflexión como puntos de posibles nuevos inicios, movimientos de esperanza. Ideas y lugares que demuestran que la naturaleza puede prevaler y restaurarse, y que la colaboración humana es capaz de apoyar y fortalecer estos procesos.
