Here is the story of a little girl learning to play the violin. She struggles to play, and through her struggle she creates a new way of practicing: she imagines bringing her stuffed animal to life; a simple, Orange Elephant. He awakens, sits at a tiny piano (which is the same size as him now) and, for a moment,  plays a tune for her. She is taken by a melody, and plays it, completely enraptured by the intensity and simpleness of the piece.
...you get the idea?

Special thanks to my family who supported me to get to this point. This is an old one I made in 2007-2008 finally finished (I seem to have a large archive of old stuff to finish out). I hope you enjoy the song!

The Orange Elephant

Original composition for YouGoCulture, landmarking Lavrion and Sounion

Laurio - Sounio

Symbolizing a journey of solitude, freedom, and a hint of melancholy, this album captures the essence of wandering like the wind—observing the world yet remaining unbound by anything.
Each piece tells a chapter of life’s ups and downs, from battles and hope to release and ultimate freedom.
1、無懼 – Fearless (An epic opening, akin to the battles and challenges of life.)
2、希望之翼 – Wings of Hope (After the battle, a spark of hope ignites for the future.)
3、釋放 – Release (Breaking through life’s inevitable bottlenecks with courage.)
4、未知的戀人 – Unknown Lover (The sweetness and excitement of life, experiencing the beauty of love for the first time.)
5、頑皮探戈 – Playful Tango (A carefree and joyful moment in life, like a mischievous child.)
6、晨曦 – Morning Glow (A new day arrives, with sunlight piercing through the darkness.)
7、最深的思念 – Deepest Yearning (Drifting thoughts filled with longing for the past.)
8、逝去的曾經 – Bygone Days (Facing farewells and recollections, with the piano telling a silent story.)
9、夢之湖 – Lake of Dreams (Life flows like fallen leaves in the wind, searching for one’s true self.)
10、寬恕 – Forgiveness (Letting go of the past, learning to forgive, and embracing a new beginning.)
11、大地之呢喃 – Whispers of the Earth (Reflecting on the relationship between humanity and nature, returning to the roots.)
12、海闊天空 – Beyond the Horizon (Finally reaching a state of ultimate freedom, where everything feels light and unburdened.)


「孤風」象徵著一種獨自飄蕩、自由卻帶點淡然與孤寂的生命旅程。我們如風般穿梭於世間，看盡萬物，卻不被任何事物束縛。這張專輯記錄了人生的起伏與感悟，從戰鬥與希望，到釋懷與自由，每首樂曲都是旅途中的一個章節。
1、無懼 – 史詩般的開場，如同人生中的戰鬥與挑戰。 
2、希望之翼 – 戰鬥之後，心中燃起對未來的希望。 
3、釋放 – 生活當中難免會遇到一些瓶頸，勇敢突破自我。 
4、未知的戀人 – 人生中的甜蜜與悸動，初嘗愛情的美好。 
5、頑皮探戈 – 生活中的趣味與無憂時光，像個調皮的孩子。 
6、晨曦 – 新的一天來臨，陽光穿透黑暗。 
7、最深的思念 – 想念過去的美好，內心的思緒流轉。 
8、逝去的曾經 – 面對過去的離別與回憶，純粹的鋼琴訴說無聲的故事。 
9、夢之湖 – 人生如落葉隨波逐流，尋找最初的自己。
10、寬恕 – 放下過去，學會寬恕，迎接新的開始。 
11、大地之呢喃 – 回歸自然，思考世界與人類的關係。 
12、海闊天空 – 最終達到無拘無束的境界，一切雲淡風輕。
