Sofia Talvik - Center of the Universe

In the title track; ‘Center of the Universe’, on Sofia Talvik's 2023 album, she memorizes the thousands of missing US children, singing about all the photos of the Missing found hanging in Walmarts she witnessed on her last US tour. The song honors Hopi Native Americans’ traditions by sending a prayer of hope that the missing children weren’t abducted but rather ascended to the Tuuwanasavi, the Center of the Universe, and in so found peace.
