Name: Far from home by Apheliax
Duration: 3 min 12 s
Description: A wandering soul, weighed down by past mistakes, sits alone under a streetlight. His untied boots and loosely hanging coat mirror his emotional disarray. With a crumpled letter in hand and autumn leaves swirling around him, he reflects on love lost, as the misty street behind him fades into the night.

This acoustic folk song weaves a heartfelt metaphor about life as a collection of stories, with each person being a book full of untold chapters. It invites listeners to embrace the ups and downs of life, encouraging them to continue turning the pages, even when the path is difficult. With a soulful blend of introspection and hope, the song highlights the importance of understanding and not judging others by their covers, but by the truths they reveal as their stories unfold.

The bookshelf of life

“Remember to never judge a book by its cover”


Life is like a bookshelf. You are free to explore any book of any genre. Each person you meet is like a book full of stories. It just depends on whether you want to stop and read each one. Some chapters are sad, some are happy, but if you never turn the page you will never know what each chapter has in store.

It’s like trying to climb a mountain. You will stumble at some point, but if you never hurt you never learn. You have to keep climbing. If you look back to the past it’s like walking back down and never progressing. You have to be climbing that mountain with a purpose otherwise it’s worthless. You need a reason to expect to find something at the top, rather than to be shocked by what you find there.

Climbing the mountain

 A wandering soul, weighed down by past mistakes, sits alone under a streetlight. His untied boots and loosely hanging coat mirror his emotional disarray. With a crumpled letter in hand and autumn leaves swirling around him, he reflects on love lost, as the misty street behind him fades into the night.

Far from home

I like experimenting with sounds. Most of my songs are going to be #melancholic and influenced by #rnb, #rock, #pop, #edm, #blues, #electronic and #trap. I often blend genres into #fusion. I like to incorporate #romantic, #dark, #literary, #historical, and #cosmic themes into my songs. But I plan to experiment with more themes and genres in the future.
I am currently a university student so my uploads might be somewhat irregular, but feel free to follow if you like my work!

⚠️ I don't answer mails and comments a lot due to too many messages by bots and people trying to sell me things.
