The ongoing bell and the cadence of Gregorian-like voices take me back to the Middle Ages when art was for the church, but such associations are very personal. Anyway, wonderful piece of music!

Great composition, Bruce! The mix of percussion and harp is truly unique and creates a fascinating atmosphere. Keep it up!  🎶❤️🎶

This is delicate music that evokes images. I admire this approach to music that is the polar opposite of mine, and I love this song so much that it makes me intoxicated.

Magical atmosphere which invites to meditate and dream

back for yet another Listen... so deep....always revealing new facets and feelings.....

Musique d'ambiance très douce 👌❤️

Artistry well represented with depth - well done :)

captivating composition with beautiful instrumentation

AVAILABLE ON ALL PLATFORMS DECEMBER 5th, 2024!

"Little Brother" is a soulful blues collaboration between Maeki Maii and Jason Langvee that explores the complexities of sibling relationships. With Jason’s emotive English vocals and Maeki's warm French rap, the song balances heartfelt reminiscence with a message of resilience and support. The rich instrumentation, featuring bluesy guitar and smooth organ, creates a warm backdrop for a powerful narrative about love, protection, and the unbreakable bond between brothers.

Lyrics
Decisions we never made 
will make us in the end
plans built on empty grounds 
an alibi sworn to pretend
just to get to something real 
we make same different mistakes
thinking you’ve life to waste
can’t escape a mirror 2-faced

Broken bridges
A lost moment found in time
Broken bridges
Dig away your hollow smile
Broken bridges
Sticks to it’s bitter end
Broken bridges
Never there just to mend

Build all our foundations 
two arguments at a time
burnt down broken promises
to feed a wipe clean mind
misunderstood ourself for treason
but never defined a crime
if I could I’d have a reason
not a lesson learnt up a line
but life’s lessons never taught on time

Broken bridges
A lost moment found in time
Broken bridges
Dig away your hollow smile
Broken bridges
Sticks to it’s bitter end
Broken bridges
Never there just to mend
Broken bridges

Just cos there’s no answer
don’t mean there’s no wrong
we gotta believe in something
and keep trying to belong
but are we singing the same old song

Broken bridges
A lost moment found in time
Broken bridges
Dig away your hollow smile
Broken bridges
Sticks to it’s bitter end
Broken bridges
Never there just to mend
We’ve broken bridges
We’re broken bridges
All broken bridges
We’ve all broken bridges
We’re all broken bridges
Just broken bridges
Forever there to amend 
Forever there to pretend


Broken Bridges

“The nitrogen in our DNA, the calcium in our teeth, the iron in our blood, the carbon in our apple pies were made in the interiors of collapsing stars. We are made of starstuff.” - Carl Sagan

Shining Star

Well hey now
have you ever just had enough
And hey now
Has it ever become too much

Dig deep, deep down inside
Feel the spark that keeps you alive

Be the one you are
See what you are

A shining star
That’s what you are
A shining star

In every beat of the heart
Is a testament to the part
Of the role we all play
Signed in D-N-A
Coursing through our veins
As foretold
It unfolds

So now, right now
Feel the wonder all around you
And now, right now
Know the mystery that surrounds you

Dig deep, deep down inside
Feel the spark that keeps you alive

Be the one you are
See what you are

A shining star
That’s what you are
Yea
Shining star
That’s what you are
Whoa oh
Whoa oh
Ahh

This track is part of Liminality, a conceptual game album exploring the story of a protagonist who awakens in a forest after fleeing a world of total technological immersion.

Heard at the start of the game, this in-game loop, "The Forest for the Trees," accompanies the moment the protagonist regains consciousness, where they are disoriented, alone, and surrounded by nature. The music captures that moment between confusion and clarity, with fragmented piano lines and ambient textures reflecting a mind slowly reassembling itself.
Each phrase points to something forgotten but essential. The protagonist is starting to be able to see the forest through the trees. 

This is the first breath of awareness in a world suddenly unfamiliar.
