"Music is the way of communication with people. You want anyone to hear
the words you singing, and the hope appears that those words can be
helpful to someone. Besides, everyone wants to immortalize himself - to
make a stroke on the Stone of Life. We do not seek everlasting life, we
want to give a sense to what we are doing... There is such a little and
great wish that people come to our concerts, understand us, and be sincere
like we are. AIRIJA does not want anything more."
These are words spoken by Nojus, the leader of the group AIRIJA.
