Name: "Ballad of the Warrior in the Sands of Time" (2025). by The Strange World of A.J. Kaufmann
Duration: 3 min 53 s
Description: Brand new track based on 2002 lyrics. Enjoy.

Gather Stones: a slow-burning indie rock lament that simmers with emotional gravity and quiet desperation. With a brooding groove and flashes of melodic chaos, the track captures the tension of relationships weighed down by time, silence, and everything unspoken. Gritty guitars and off-kilter rhythms pulse beneath vocals that waver between raw vulnerability and angst. 

The chorus - a storm surge. Stop-and-go urgency meets lyrical spirals, mirroring the internal back-and-forth of someone trying to hold on while dragging the weight of the past behind them.

Lyrically poetic and emotionally grounded, “Gather Stones” is for anyone who’s ever tried to make the swim back home with their pockets full, and energy sapped.

A.J. Kaufmann—wandering bard of Poznań, sonic druid of the cassette realm. Born under a vinyl moon during a lo-fi storm, raised by spectral mixtapes and surreal dreams. He’s conjured 200+ albums while debating invisible muses and sipping metaphor tea. Writes like a mystic, sings like a caffeinated oracle. May or may not be part mushroom. Proceed with headphones.
