Lyrics

[Intro]
Verse 1:
I was caught in a battle, a war I didn't choose,  
Words like daggers, left me battered and bruised.  
They said I was worthless, that I'd never be,  
But I was fighting, trying to set myself free.  

Chorus:
Every night I’d see them, demons at my door,  
Feasting on my heart, taking what they came for.  
But I found the words, to set me free,  
I cried out loud, "But He loves me!"  

Verse 2:
I knew my mind was spinning, trying to find the truth,  
Caught in their shadows, trying to break through.  
Then came the night, I finally knew the key,  
Spoke those words, "But He loves me."  

Chorus:
Every night I’d see them, demons at my door,  
Feasting on my heart, taking what they came for.  
But I found the words, to set me free,  
I cried out loud, "But He loves me!"  

[Instrumental]

Bridge:
They spat out the darkness, let go of my soul,  
With an oath of protection, they made me whole.  
I found my strength in what they couldn’t see,  
That even in their darkness, love set me free.  

Outro:
Now I stand tall, no longer afraid,  
Found my own light, in the path that I made.  
With love as my armor, I faced what I had to see,  
And it all began with, "But He loves me."

But He Loves Me

Let the gentle acoustic guitar, playful flute, and heartfelt vocals transport you to a sacred space where wishes bloom and the whispers of wisdom guide your heart.

Lyrics: 
Verse 1
In a forest wide and wondrous, stood a tree so tall and grand,
Its roots dug deep in the earth below, its branches touched the stars’ expanse.
They called it the Magic Tree, a marvel to behold,
With leaves that whispered every tongue, in stories yet untold.

Chorus
Oh, the Magic Tree, reaching up to touch the sky,
Bringing words from every land, teaching hearts to never die.
From its roots down to the heavens, it unites both you and me,
In the language of compassion, from the Magic Tree.

Verse 2
Mira came from distant lands, with a heart weighed down with care,
She longed to speak and understand, but felt lost most everywhere.
She rested ’neath that mighty tree, and it spoke in her own tongue,
“Plant these seeds in every town, let understanding be begun.”

Chorus
Oh, the Magic Tree, reaching up to touch the sky,
Bringing words from every land, teaching hearts to never die.
From its roots down to the heavens, it unites both you and me,
In the language of compassion, from the Magic Tree.

Verse 3
She took the seeds and traveled on, planting in each place she went,
And from the soil of kindness grew, trees of understanding sent.
But in soils dark with anger’s blight, the fruits were sharp and cold,
Yet love and patience turned them sweet, as wisdom took its hold.

Chorus
Oh, the Magic Tree, reaching up to touch the sky,
Bringing words from every land, teaching hearts to never die.
From its roots down to the heavens, it unites both you and me,
In the language of compassion, from the Magic Tree.

[Instrumental]

Bridge
Now its branches touch the stars above, its roots are strong and deep,
A bridge between the earth and sky, where hearts and spirits meet.
It teaches us to speak with love, in every word we share,
To find the common ground we seek, with kindness everywhere.

Chorus
Oh, the Magic Tree, reaching up to touch the sky,
Bringing words from every land, teaching hearts to never die.
From its roots down to the heavens, it unites both you and me,
In the language of compassion, from the Magic Tree.

Outro
So let us plant and tend our seeds, in soil rich and pure,
And watch our trees touch the heavens, with love that will endure.
For the Magic Tree stands tall, a guide for you and me,
To speak in words of unity, and live in harmony.

When one door closes, heavy with doubt 
I stand in the storm, trying to figure it out 
But there’s a light in the distance, a soft glowing sign
A new road ahead, gonna be mine

Better days are comin’, won’t be long 
From the shadows of worry, hope will rise
A brighter tomorrow, right before my eyes

The waters get rough, but I won’t drown 
I’ve been here before, and I’ve turned it around 
Each fall is a lesson, each step a climb
The rhythm of life, just keeping time

Better days are comin’, won’t be long
From the shadows of worry, hope will rise
A brighter tomorrow, right before my eyes

Every scar’s a story, every tear’s clear 
The road may be long, but my spirit won’t fade
I’m stronger now from the choices I’ve made

Oh, the winds may blow, but I’ll hold strong
Better days are comin’, won’t be long
From the shadows of worry, hope will rise
A brighter tomorrow, right before my eyes

A brighter path is just begun 
I’ll keep on walkin’, with hope as my guide
With the winds at my back, and nothing to hide

Lyrics:

[Verse]
Wake up greet the day
Light creeps in to stay
Coffee warms the soul
Lost in saxophone's roll

[Verse 2]
Rhythm takes me high
Notes that touch the sky
Sunshine breaking through
Morning starts with a view

[Chorus]
Sax sings through the dawn
Turn the blues all gone
Melodies so bright
Makes everything feel right

[Verse 3]
Echoes in my mind
Leave the worries behind
Morning breeze so cool
Music's gentle rule

[Verse 4]
Different worlds collide
In this morning stride
Every note a gift
Feel the spirits lift

[Chorus]
Sax sings through the dawn
Turn the blues all gone
Melodies so bright
Makes everything feel right

Monday Morning Melody

Sacred Silence is a soul ballad built on restraint, a song that finds power in what isn’t said as much as in what is sung. The arrangement leaves space wide open, every pause heavy with meaning. The female vocalist sings low and deliberate, her husky tone carrying a quiet ache, each word drawn out like it costs something to release. As the song unfolds, her voice grows more insistent, not by volume but by gravity, pulling the listener deeper into its orbit. The mood is meditative but never polished, textured with the imperfections of a live, analog performance—breath audible, silence hanging in the air like smoke. Lyrically, it’s about searching for peace in stillness, about sitting with wounds that don’t yet have answers. Sacred Silence is tender, haunting, and unflinching, a track that proves soul doesn’t always have to shout to leave its mark.

Sacred Silence

One Last Clown

“Mon Cher” is a classic Parisian chanson reborn through modern cinematic production.
A soulful café melody tells the story of a woman who’s learned to love life on her own terms — to flirt, to dream, to hurt, and to rise again.
She reminds us that life can be beautiful, but you need the courage to make it so.

Elegant, emotional, and timeless — Mon Cher celebrates the art of living, c’est la vie.
Produced by Quarry Studios.

Mon Cher

إِنَّ الحَبيبَ الَّذي يُرضيهِ سَفك دَمي
دَمي حَلالٌ لَهُ في الحِلِّ وَالحَرمِ
إِن كانَ سَفكُ دَمي أَقصى مُرادِكُمُ
فَلا عَدَت نَظرَةٌ مِنكُم بِسَفكِ دَمي
وَاللَه لَو عَلِمَت روحي بِمَن عَلِقَت
قامَت عَلى رَأسِها فَضلاً عَنِ القَدَمِ
يا لائِمي لا تَلُمني في هَواهُ فَلَو
عايَنتَ مِنهُ الَّذي عايَنتُ لَم تَلُمِ
يَطوفُ بِالبَيتِ قَومٌ لا بِجارِحَةٍ
بِاللَهِ طافوا فَأَغناهُم عَنِ الحَرَمِ
ضحى الحَبيبُ بِنَفسٍ يَومَ عيدِهِمُ
وَالناسُ ضَحّوا بِمِثلِ الشاءِ وَالنِعَمِ
لِلناسِ حَجٌّ وَلي حَجٌّ إلى سَكَني
تُهدي الأَضاحي وَأُهدي مُهجَتي وَدَمي

إِنَّ الحَبيبَ الَّذِي يُرضِيهِ سَفكُ دَمِي | الحلاج

Lost in the Maze (1).mp3

You make me weightless
All my gravity fade when you’re here
Every breath turn soft, sincere
The noise disappears
You make me weightless
World slow down, I see clear
I don’t fall, I just steer
You make me weightless

Weightless
