I felt the cold wind rising, Sharp words and empty eyes.

I turned away from kindness, Built walls to hide the lies.

But even stone will whisper, When the frozen starts to thaw.

Cruelty and silence faded, Pointed back to love's true law.



Four doors of the heart, waiting to be known, Compassion and kindness, joy softly shown.

When shadows crumble and bitterness parts, Step through the silence open your heart.



I envied all their laughter, Judged faces passing by. Misery and anger whispered, Told me love was just a lie.

But sorrow asked the question, That broke me from the spell. "What beauty are you missing? What story could you tell?"



Four doors of the heart, waiting to be known, Compassion and kindness, joy softly shown. When shadows crumble and bitterness parts, Step through the silence open your heart.



No soul too lost, no night too deep,Even the fiercest anger weeps. When eyes look up and tears depart, The gentle light will fill your heart.

Four doors of the heart, wide open tonight, Mercy and wonder, clear-seeing light. The world will bloom as we take part, In love that sings in every heart.

Feel so High

Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
I felt the cold wind rising,
Sharp words and empty eyes.
I turned away from kindness,
Built walls to hide the lies.

But even stone will whisper,
When the frozen starts to thaw.
Cruelty and silence faded,
Pointed back to love’s true law.

[Chorus]
Four doors of the heart, waiting to be known,
Compassion and kindness, joy softly shown.
When shadows crumble and bitterness parts,
Step through the silence — open your heart.

[Verse 2]
I envied all their laughter,
Judged faces passing by.
Misery and anger whispered,
Told me love was just a lie.

But sorrow asked the question,
That broke me from the spell.
“What beauty are you missing?
What story could you tell?”

[Chorus]
Four doors of the heart, waiting to be known,
Compassion and kindness, joy softly shown.
When shadows crumble and bitterness parts,
Step through the silence — open your heart.

[Bridge]
No soul too lost, no night too deep,
Even the fiercest anger weeps.
When eyes look up and tears depart,
The gentle light will fill your heart.

[Final Chorus]
Four doors of the heart, wide open tonight,
Mercy and wonder, clear-seeing light.
The world will bloom as we take part,
In love that sings in every heart.

We've all been there when the sound of silence sharpens our spirits ability to heal and realize pain unlocks its potency.

Burden to Bare is a melodic alt-rock song about carrying the weight of someone else’s struggles with strength and resilience. With soaring guitars and lush ambient environments, it transforms pain into purpose, reminding us that even the heaviest burdens can lead to growth, connection, and unbreakable resolve.

Here is our moon for June, the Strawberry Moon.  I actually haven't a clue which genre it is.... but I really do like the way @APi_ZZ put the music to my words.

Strawberry Moon

This song describes the enduring presence of a lost love through cherished memories. Despite the physical absence of the loved one ("Aunque te fuiste"), their warmth, scent, laughter, and essence remain vivid in the singer's mind and heart. The lyrics express the pain of separation but emphasize finding strength and healing through these memories, which are described as a "fortune" and a guiding force. The act of "dancing with memories" signifies a way of coping and moving forward with joy, even in sorrow.

Este texto lírico describe la presencia duradera de un amor perdido a través de los recuerdos atesorados. A pesar de la ausencia física de la persona amada ("Aunque te fuiste"), su calidez, su olor, sus risas y su esencia permanecen vívidos en la mente y el corazón del cantante. La letra expresa el dolor de la separación pero enfatiza la búsqueda de fuerza y sanación a través de estos recuerdos, que son descritos como una "fortuna" y una fuerza guía. El acto de "bailar con los recuerdos" simboliza una forma de afrontar la situación y seguir adelante con alegría, incluso en la tristeza.


Aunque te fuiste

Rap Verse 1:  

I’m sitting pretty now but I used to be so vicious. 

Was the moment I met you, that second everything changed 

So many lessons in my life, in all these bridges I’d burned 

Perhaps it isn’t fair, to have to be my calm in the storm 

But we’re rebuilding my foundation, all the years, damage done 

All this poison in my blood, always steering me wrong 

All these choices, these decisions, all the things that we do 

Now, every breath a confirmation that I’ll be there for you. 

 

Verse 1:  

Oh, I love you, my angel, I do 

Oh, my starling, the murmuration of you 

And I don’t want to wake up but for your light, my every morning, all I need 

This time is never enough, so be careful with the moments, let us have this memory 

 

Rap Verse 2:  

If I’ve learned anything, it’s that this is the time 

But it passes so fast, too old for nursery rhymes 

Thinkin' back to scraped knees, I was a mountain to climb 

Both the good and the bad, what kind of man was I? 

And you moved me, so when the sun sets low, let it be, it’s ok, you know we all have to go Keep the love that we shared, may it continue to grow. 

I carried you, you carried me so much further though 

 

Verse 2 

Oh, my child, my one, my blood 

My hand runs the lines marked on the wall, how fast the time has gone 

I smile at the box of things, and search my heart to feel that way again 

And as I fade away, may the simple things we had be enough when all that’s left 

 

Outtro 

And we all sing… 

Oh my love, every day is like a dream 

With you in my life, every day is like a dream  

Oh, my baby, how you blessed my soul, every day is like a dream. 

With you in my life, every day is like a dream

Welcome to the musical world of The William Altig Choir, where ancient wisdom meets contemporary sound.

Inspired by the teachings of the Lotus Sutra and infused with deep spiritual themes, my music blends the rich traditions of blues and folk with modern elements, creating a unique fusion that resonates with both the heart and soul.

I've been captivated by the Lotus Sutra's messages of compassion, wisdom, and transformation since my youth. It's a journey of self-discovery that has found its voice in my music. Each song is a reflection of my own spiritual awakening and a celebration of universal truths.

My style is characterized by emotive storytelling, powerful lyrics, and a commitment to exploring the depths of human experience. Featuring contemplative blues, acoustic slide guitar, saxophone melodies, and the harmonies of a gospel choir, my music reflects a quest for enlightenment and a better understanding of the self.

Join me on this musical journey. Together, we can explore the teachings of the Lotus Sutra, finding solace, hope, and a deeper connection to the world around us.
