Francis of Delirium Find Beauty In Everything With “It’s A Beautiful Life”

We’ve been telling people about Jana Bahrich and her music under the moniker Francis of Delirium since 2020’s powerful Equality Song and now the Luxembourg-based artist has announced a 2nd album to be titled Run, Run Pure Beauty and shared the new song It’s A Beautiful Life.

While the song is about finding beauty within, it was inspired from vignettes snatched from moments away “A coffee I had with a pianist who was about to play a Philip Glass piece at the Philharmonie in Berlin, watching a couple break up on a New York City park bench, walking past a choir rehearsing in a basement and examining a loneliness that feels ingrained into daily life,” she says. “I’m not denying pain but trying to find the beauty alongside it.”

The video was made with Kiyan Agadjani, a director she first met while shooting the music video for Real Love in 2023, “We didn’t quite connect during that first shoot but after 9 hours in a car coming back from it, we really hit it off. He sent me his short film Arman & Elisa and I was incredibly impressed.” says Jana. “A year later, I went to him with an idea about gay basketball and he was in. We started referencing movies like Little Miss Sunshine, Space Jam and Juno and wrote a treatment about a rag tag team called ‘The Rats’ going up against a professional team, ‘The Giants’. The video ended up being about perseverance and connection, both on and off screen. We cast a lot of our friends, musicians, artists and filmmakers from Luxembourg and I’m still not  totally sure how it happened, but it took us eight months to finish.”

Run,Run Pure Beauty the new album from Francis of Delirium will be released May 29th 2026 via Dalliance.
