so·lus / ˈsōləs /
Alone or unaccompanied (used especially as a stage direction) 

This is a story of the lone journey, a pilgrimage to places previously unknown. A time of challenges that represent growth, and finally looking ones true self in the mirror. A story of solitude. A story of sunrises seen and felt. A story of holding onto love and letting love go. This is Solus, a gift from me to you. I am ecstatic to finally release this body of work, I hope you enjoy <3

Thank you so much for all the support over the past few years. This whole journey has been quite the trip. <3

This is an old track that I've been sitting on for quite some time. Love playing this one out & I figured if I didn't get it out soon it would probably never see the light of day. Enjoy !!

Mercy Falls

Kirra

You do not heal by filling a void with something else. 

You heal by recognizing that this void is part of you 

Heal by learning from the emptiness that is felt when you loose something close to your heart. 

Falling apart is just an opportunity to reassemble the pieces in a more efficient and powerful way. 

PS…

Fuck a wedding ring I bought a necklace.

A veil of clouds separated the summit from base camp. I took one last look at the valley below, and we began the ascent.
