Could use a more refined production, but the song seems nice.

Interesting almost medieval style. Nice balladeering.

Submission for Weekly Note Composing Jam #6 hosted by emscottish for Itch.IO February 2025

combining works of (Faridoddin Abu Hamed Mohammad Attar Nishapuri) Sufi poet aka Attar ('apothecary') of Nishapur c.1145-1121 AD
and Scottish poet and lyricist Robert Burns 1759-1796 AD

lyrics:

The sea will be the sea,
No matter the drop's philosophy.
(Attar of Nishapur)

We are busy with the luxury of things
Their number and multiple faces bring
To us confusion we call knowledge Say:
God created the world, pinned night to day
Made mountains to weigh it down 
seas To wash its face 
living creatures with pleas
The ancestors of prayers seeking a place
In this mystery that floats in endless space.
(Attar of Nishapur)


Talk not of love, it gives me pain,
For love has been my foe;
He bound me in an iron chain,
And plunged me deep in woe.  
(Robert Burns)

From each, Love demands a mystic silence.
What do all seek so earnestly? 
Place not so firm a value on self-reliance,
Love’s tide erodes what we grasp so thirstily.
Love is the subject of their inmost thoughts,
In Love no longer 'Thou' and 'I' exist,
No musing upon what effort brought, (me)
For self has passed away in the Beloved.
A form which vanishes into mist.
Now will I draw aside the veil from Love,
And in the temple of mine inmost soul
Gaze on the void’s eternal bowl.
Behold the Friend, Incomparable Love.
He who would know the secret of both worlds
And has the opaque pall unfurled, (me)
Will find that the secret of them both is Love.
(Attar of Nishapur)

Cold, alter'd friendship's cruel part,
Open wounds stung by brine, Love. (me)
To poison Fortune's ruthless dart
Let me not break thy faithful heart,
And say that fate is mine, Love. 
(Robert Burns)

Embers Of A Broken Dawn

Buy on Beatport

A therapeutic journey into a mix of jazz, classical, and a blend of types of electronica.  And a wry, gradual observation that promotion tends to only go as far as you push it.  At least I make my fellow musicians laugh a little.
