You and I

“Secreta” — Latin for “secret” or “secrets” — takes its name and text from a lesser-known part of the traditional Roman Catholic Mass: a quiet prayer, spoken in a low voice by the priest at the end of the Offertory. On this album, the prayer becomes something more personal and disquieting — a whispered plea for one's enemies, delivered from a soul suspended between forgiveness and fragmentation.

Set to a short liturgical text drawn from the Roman Missal, the piece explores the spiritual paradox of wishing well upon those who have wounded us. That fragile state — where faith confronts betrayal — is captured in the song’s shifting musical language. An eerie orchestral introduction sets the tone, enveloping the listener in unease, before giving way to rhythms that echo the rhythmical asymmetry of Balkan dances. The unconventional time signature distorts any sense of calm, as if the soul itself is reeling.

“Secreta“ is both prayer and disorientation — a sacred ritual filtered through the lens of human vulnerability.

SECRETA

Oblatis, quaesumus, Domine, placare muneribus: 
et nos ab inimicis nostris clementer eripe.

(We beg You, O Lord, be appeased by these sacrificial offerings: 
and mercifully snatch us away from our enemies.)

Haze of Time

Lyrics:  
Enveloped in the gentle waves
Evening air, a little taste
Sweet scent, getting to the flower in me
Don't misinterpret, there's no wrong intent
I'm just inhaling the incense of desire

Melted gold, murky lighting, enhancing beauty
Senses alert, don't let it stop, sensuous lips
Don't condemn me, there's no bad intent
I'm just inhaling the incense of lust

My solitude when night sets in
Enflames my mind
Comforting blaze
Don't ever change
Time standing still
I'm just inhaling the incense of love

Me, Myself

5 

Five days away
I sense a little tension
I'll bring the bad news into your day

Five days away
I sense a need of intervention
Or someone's getting hurt in some way


Oh, when you come home
And see that look upon my face
I won't need to say why I don't feel so great
It's time to go
And save you from a life of pain
Where the only time we shared was spent in vain


Five months away
You won't shed a tear
If I die there where I lay
Five months away
You'll see me at the station
Once you notice me, you'll turn away


Oh, when you come home
And see that look upon my face
I won't need to say why I don't feel so great
It's time to go
And save you from a life of pain
Where the only time we shared was spent in vain


(Ooh) Five years away
There'll be another one you know
Who won't break your heart and ever let you go

[Chorus]
Oh, when you come home
And see that look upon my face
I won't need to say why I don't feel so great
It's time to go
And save you from a life of pain
Where the only time we shared was spent in vain


Only time
Only time
Where the only time we shared was spent in vain
Only time
Only time
Where the only time we shared was spent in vain

Selling Marilyn

Slow dream track with electric piano arpeggios mixed with long echo/reverb guitars with main signal off to sound like a synth. Different time signatures produce a drifting sensation. Dream on.
