With tender lyrics and a gentle acoustic arrangement, the song honors the quiet strength of those who have given so much to others, only to find themselves standing alone.

Set during the harrowing final days of World War II, Ya S Toboy (I Am With You, Я с тобой) by Dr. Elliot Lach tells of the true story of a young boy and his mother hiding in the rubble of a bombed-out home as enemy soldiers search house to house. Amid the chaos, the child, now wounded by shrapnel, whispers the Russian words “Ya s toboy” — I am with you — offering comfort to his mother when she needs it most.

This haunting ballad draws from the quiet courage of civilians during wartime, capturing the moment where love overcomes fear, even as the world crumbles around them. Through sparse acoustic guitar, emotional strings, and intimate vocals, the song becomes a tribute to the unseen resilience of families caught in conflict.

As the Heavens Are High by Dr. Elliot Lach, is a moving and powerful song that reflects on the vastness of the universe and the profound mystery behind life’s design. It gets inspiration from Isaiah 55:9 in Scripture.  It invites listeners to consider a force beyond comprehension—one whose ways are infinitely greater and whose thoughts reach beyond the boundaries of human understanding.

Opening with wonder-filled lyrics that gaze upward at the stars, the song gently rises from intimate reflection to full-choir celebration. It offers a message of humility, hope, and trust in something far beyond ourselves—a higher order that shapes what we cannot fully see or predict.

This piece blends soulful vocals, uplifting harmonies, and rich instrumentation to evoke both quiet reverence and spirited praise. Through its dynamic structure and lyrical depth, the song becomes an anthem for those seeking meaning, direction, or reassurance amid uncertainty.

Whether experienced in a personal moment of contemplation or shared in a gathering of voices, As the Heavens Are High reminds us that not all things must be understood to be embraced—and that sometimes, surrendering to the mystery is the purest form of faith.

“Have You Hired a Dog Walker Recently?” By Dr. Elliot Lach is more than just a playful question—it’s a quiet health check. Maybe you’re busy. Maybe your knees ache. Or maybe… you just can’t keep up with your own dog anymore. That should tell you something.
We call this the Dog Walker Stress Test.
If you’re no longer the one holding the leash—or you’re the one being pulled behind—it might be time to ask: why?
This folk-style ballad is a reflection on aging, health, and the bond between humans and their four-legged companions. Because sometimes, your dog isn’t just walking with you… they’re warning you.

Have You Hired A Dog Walker Recently?

Do you sometimes answer without thinking? Say or do something you regret — something that only brings you down to their level?
“Hold the Flame” by Dr. Lach is a powerful ballad about restraint, inner strength, and choosing peace over provocation. With soulful vocals and a soaring choir of voices, the song reminds us that the truest power lies not in reacting with anger, but in standing tall with grace.
When others throw fire, we can hold the flame — steady, dignified, and unshaken.

In a forest bathed in moonlight, Dr. Elliot Lach brings out a tender moment as it unfolds beneath a canopy of autumn leaves. A momma porcupine and her baby nestle together, their eyes closed, their bodies close—but not quite touching. Theirs is a love expressed not in hugs, but in presence. In stillness. In being there—quills and all.

Porcupines don’t get to embrace the way other creatures do. But that doesn’t mean they don’t love. This image captures a truth that often goes unspoken: sometimes love looks like quiet patience, soft breaths shared in the night, and simply staying close despite the sharp things life gives us.

This is a portrait of a different kind of affection—just as deep, just as fierce, just a little more careful. A lullaby in picture form for every parent and child, and a reminder that love always finds a way, even when it cannot wrap its arms around you.

“Last Seen at 2:03” by Dr. Elliot Lach is a haunting modern ballad about digital heartbreak in the age of read receipts and silence. Inspired by WhatsApp and Instagram’s “last seen” status, the song captures the emotional ache of being left behind—not with a goodbye, but with a timestamp. It’s about scrolling through old messages, waiting for a response that never comes, and learning to live with digital ghosts.

Blending lo-fi pop with emotional R&B elements, this track echoes the loneliness of unanswered messages and the ache of watching someone disappear from your life… one blue check mark at a time.

"Larey la Watana” (“Far From Home”) is a symphonic Pashto anthem that captures the deep emotions of exile and migration. Pashto is our mother tongue, carried across mountains and oceans, and though many of us live far from our homeland, the language remains our bond. This song honors the pain of separation, the strength of perseverance, and the hope we carry for a brighter world. With orchestral strings, pounding percussion, and choir-like chants, it becomes not just music, but a powerful voice of memory, unity, and longing.

"Slow Rise at Nashoba Brook" by Dr. Elliot Lach is a folk-inspired tribute to a hidden gem in West Concord, Massachusetts—the Nashoba Brook Bakery. Known simply as “Slow Rise,” this bakery and café is tucked away behind an old brick mill building, without billboards or bright advertisements. You find it by following a quiet sign painted with stars and an arrow, leading you to the heart of a working bakery. Inside, the air is alive with the rhythm of bread—racks and racks of sourdough loaves, fragrant rosemary garlic, and warm slices fresh from the oven.

This song captures that spirit of patience, craft, and community: the slow rise of sourdough, the slow rhythm of a brook, and the way hidden treasures are often the ones most worth discovering.

"Let Them Grow Old" (پرېږدئ چې زاړه شي) is a Pashto symphonic anthem for peace and unity. Written with the hope that children everywhere may live long enough to become old men and women, the song calls for an end to fighting, war, and neighbors turning against each other. With orchestral strings, pounding percussion, and a powerful choir, it blends Pashto poetry with a universal message: lay down the weapons, join hands, and build a future of love instead of bloodshed.

This is not just a song—it is a prayer that echoes from the mountains of our homeland to every corner of the world: No more wars. Let our children grow old.
