WOW This sounds like a completely different song now. Nice work Andreas. Thanks again. 🫶😘🙏🎼🎵🎶

Also love when you go into falsetto mode.

Shamans, alchemists and the natural philosophers of the classical era experience(d) that the planets are one and the same as the gods. They perceive them in the trance state like geometrically-shaped forces that send out signals or audible keys, when one concentrates directly on them at dawn on their name day.  That’s why I made a cover that was not the planet and not the goddess, but a more symbolic form of that force. 

The planets/gods have been called “the mills” by poets in the past because, when in tune with them, you experience a sort of grinding frequency going through the whole body.  I put a D drone to run through the whole track to try to capture that audible vibration, and I was inspired to write these words after meditating on Venus at dawn on her day, Friday. 
--------------------------

Delight of human kind and Gods above, 
The Star of the Morning, the Queen of Love.
Whose power air, earth, sea and fire supplies,
And breeds all life that’s born beneath the skies.
Every kind that’s alive and blessed with sight,
Springs, when it sees your iridescent light.
It’s you Venus that shades and ghouls most fear, 
And at your blissful appearance, disappear.

[Chorus]
Venus, be my aid, my tuneful song inspire, 
And kindle with your secret fire. 

For you, the wells in fragrant flowers are dressed,
At the Star of the Evening, we take our rest,
And the heavens seem more serene, in harmony, 
When the night-black soil sparkles with copper,
And nightingales extol your cornucopia, 
Peace candles are lit, proportion’s restored, 
And the broken-hearted sense your breath
Soothing them to sleep and healing dreams.


Sadly the brutal business of the war 
Seems unavoidable when the skies host Mars, 
But a man may retire from fighting fields to prove 
The pleasing tremors of your eternal Love,
There, while your curling limbs about him move, 
Involved and entwined in the links of love, 
With heart-strung eloquence our prayers implore,
Bring lasting peace to this world once more. 

[Chorus]
Venus, be my aid, my tuneful song inspire, 
And kindle with your secret fire.

Venus

"Dawn" captures the fragile moment when night lifts and the first light breathes over the horizon.
Piano and flute intertwine like air and earth, a dialogue between stillness and awakening. For listeners of Einaudi, Ólafur Arnalds, Max Richter — music that carries both quiet reflection and gentle hope.

Dawn

Written, Performed and Produced by Sarah Paradise-Brown

I’ve been tracing shadows where we used to stand
Familiar places slipping through my hands
I feel your heart though it’s just far away
And I wonder if you feel the same

But I’m reaching out trying to close the distance
I’m holding on through the fear and resistance
With every step I take I’ll hold you near
Cause I’m not giving up I’ll be right here

Sometimes I feel the weight of things unsaid
The silent spaces bring doubt in my head
I’m learning to quiet the voice that feeds my fear
But I need to know you'll always here

So I’m reaching out trying to close the distance
I’m holding on through the fear and resistance
With every step I take I’ll hold you near
Cause I’m not giving up I’ll be right here

I know I’ve got my own fight inside
But I see the struggle you try to hide
We’re two souls searching for common ground
So let’s meet in the middle, let’s turn this around

So I’m reaching out trying to close the distance
I’m holding on, through the fear and resistance
With every step I take I’ll hold you near
Cause I’m not giving up I’ll be right here

Close The Distance (Remixed & Mastered)

Where silence becomes voice, and music becomes myth.

Vedran - Even When the Song Dies  d

https://on.soundcloud.com/BOLq29e2WtZIt1vf9z by VickStiX @vicky-adair

This song is my reflection on Kali Yuga, but the truth is, it was not my own idea. It came entirely from the mind of my dear friend and sister in music, @DJShAnkAri. Until she shared her wisdom with me, I knew nothing about Kali Yuga. She told me about this age described in Hindu tradition—the Age of Darkness, where truth and virtue are fading, where greed and conflict often seem to rule. But she also showed me the other side of it: that even in such a time, the soul can rise, and spiritual light can be found in the very heart of the shadows.

This song is my attempt to honor what she taught me—to capture both the heaviness of the age we are in and the hope that still burns within it. It’s about seeing beyond the decay and remembering that even when the world feels broken, there is resilience, there is awakening, and there is always the possibility of transformation. @vicky-adair

LYRICS:

[Verse 1]
The fire burns cold in the temples of light
Truth walks barefoot through the ruins of night
Kings wear masks made of gold and lies
And the gods are silent in the blood-red skies

[Pre-Chorus]
But the soul remembers what the world forgot
In the depth of the fall, a spark burns hot

[Chorus]
Kali Yuga — where the shadows reign
But even here, there's a path through pain
In the darkest age, the seekers rise
With dust on their feet and stars in their eyes
Kali Yuga — we are born to fight
To find the flame in eternal night

[Verse 2]
Children cry for what their fathers sold
Wisdom's traded cheap for fame and gold
Hearts grow numb, and faith grows thin
Yet the storm can't kill the fire within

[Pre-Chorus]
When the earth forgets how to speak the truth
The silent will sing it back through youth

[Chorus]
Kali Yuga — where the shadows reign
But even here, there's a path through pain
In the darkest age, the seekers rise
With dust on their feet and stars in their eyes
Kali Yuga — we are born to fight
To find the flame in eternal night

[Verse 3]
Ashes fall from the breath of time
But the lotus grows in the filth and grime
Beneath the wreckage of all that fades
Still pulses the rhythm the cosmos made

[Bridge]
This is not the end, but the wheel’s low turn
The forge of the soul where the bravest burn
Through illusion’s veil and the iron chain
We walk through death to be born again

[Chorus]
Kali Yuga — where the shadows reign
But even here, there's a path through pain
In the darkest age, the seekers rise
With dust on their feet and stars in their eyes
Kali Yuga — we are born to fight
To find the flame in eternal night

[Chorus – Final Refrain]
Kali Yuga — it’s the war we choose
When silence screams and the angels lose
Yet from this wreck, we will arise
With love as our weapon, and truth as our prize
Kali Yuga — we were made for this
To turn the end into genesis

[Outro]
So sing through the ruins, burn through the lies
In Kali Yuga, the soul never dies

Behind Closed Eyes (remix)

Being musician and artist "since ages", the last two decades and all the developments in digital music broadened my interests and activities in doing music actively and passively. Not being shy of any genre (OK, leave off some Punk and Extreme Metal derivates) I engage in composing, arranging, mixing and collaborating. 

Oh, and I do all my artwork and designs as well. And as you may notice I regard AI as a friendly helper.

Have a few looks & listens into my repertoire and eventually gain some insights. I'm always open for collabs if the the interests match ...
