Babylon

The journey is relentless, and the struggle against the currents is fierce. The water beckons, pulling him deeper into the unknown as he battles the cyclops, resists the sirens, and contends with the weight of lost time. His heart aches for the love waiting back home, but escape feels impossible. Still, he’s driven by the hope of reunion, even as the path is fraught with fear. When will this odyssey end? His love for you and the promise of home are his guiding lights, giving him the strength to defy the currents and fight his way back.

Upriver

Love Birds is an energetic, upbeat rock song that blends driving rhythms with introspective lyricism. The track pulses with urgency, capturing the restless spirit of change, longing, and reinvention. With bold guitars and a steady beat, it channels a sense of movement—both physical and emotional—as it explores the push and pull of love, identity, and fleeting moments of connection. The soaring chorus, "Love Birds, fly away," echoes themes of freedom and release, while the verses reflect on transformation and the unpredictability of life. Love Birds is a high-energy anthem for those caught between holding on and letting go.

Love Birds

No Place Like Home is a reflective, intimate track about finding stability and love in the middle of chaos. Inspired by personal changes and the search for emotional grounding, it explores what it means to feel at home—even when everything around you is shifting.
