Album Title: Barefoot Socrates
Genre: Smoky Jazz-Blues / Bohemian Noir / Retro Soul
Vibe: Sultry, Intimate, Late-Night, Cinematic
Description:
Barefoot Socrates strips away the marble and robes of antiquity to reveal the original bohemian wanderer in a dimly lit, smoky atmosphere. This album is a masterclass in mood, transforming the probing questions of the Agora into a sultry, late-night confession.
The soundscape is steeped in nostalgia and noir textures. Anchored by the warm, walking rhythm of an upright bass and the organic pulse of congas and bongos, the groove swings with a subtle gypsy-jazz influence that feels both timeless and raw. Over this rhythmic foundation, smooth retro guitar lines weave intricate melodies, echoing the Socratic method of endless questioning.
The defining element is the vocal delivery—deep, husky, and female. She delivers ancient wisdom not as lectures, but as soulful, emotional revelations. Tracks like "The Dreamless Sleep" and "The Gadfly" are reimagined as torch songs, where the search for truth burns with a slow, cinematic intensity.
Barefoot Socrates is a record for the midnight hour, capturing the essence of a man who owned nothing but possessed the ultimate wealth of the mind. It is philosophy felt in the gut, delivered with the heart of the blues.

كنا بزمان فيه الناس طيبين
اصواتن هاديه وكلماتن تشجع
كنا بزمان الأحباء عميانين
والعالم غنيه وهالغنوه كانت الأجمل
كنا بزمان.. وكل شئ تبدل

حلمت حلم بأول الأيام 
كان فينى أمل والحياه قدامى
حلمت بحب إليه دوام
حلمت بتسامح الله العالى

وكنت صغيره ومابخاف
يضيعوا أحلامى أو ياخدوها
ما كنت بشيل هم الأيام
التسلية بس والكلمات غنوها

بس بيجى اليأس ف اليل
وهلا صوته يهمس فينى
ت يصير الامل ما إليه دليل
وبعدا يحولوا حلمك عار

قضينا الصيف بالآمال
مليتنى بحب ما إليه مثيل
بتاخدلى برائتى وبعدا تفل
وكل شئ ضاع مع الخريف

ولساتنى بحلم تيجى ف يوم
ت نعيد الحب يالى كان
بس فى أشياء بتظلها حلم
وأشياء تانى بتضيع ف الريح

حلمت ف يوم حياتى تكون
مختلفه كتير عن هالجحيم
أى شئ بيكون غير إللى صار
بس هالحياة .. قتلتلى الحلم .. حلمى

I believe there's someone out there for everyone, someone waiting to love and be loved, someone who will accept you the way you are without asking you to change, someone who will love you as much and as passionate as you love without expectations.. Someone somewhere is waiting to start a new life, wonder if we'll ever meet!!
