Settled Elements

Here is the last track in this series for now (and there are still lots of great homemade samples left).
I think it turned out quite well and is a nice conclusion.
It became clear to me that it's not as easy as it always seems, but it is possible with a little patience.
Even if you have an idea of the result you want in your head, the path to get there is often quite long. I have to admit that my tracks are mostly a bit unusual and almost entirely handmade. But I still have my doubts about the right genre.
I hope you had a little fun listening to them anyway.

Gate 57

The Edge of Light

[Verse 1]
I’m standing at the border of my pain
the edge of who I used to be
shadows whisper comfort—
but I can't go back
I feel the pull of something free

[Pre-Chorus]
The world tilts and my breath expands
a trembling step an open hand
I’m not afraid of what I'll find
when love begins with me this time

[Chorus]
On the edge of light I'm breaking open
learning how to see with new eyes
on the edge of light my heart is chosen
to love myself and let the rest arrive

[Verse 2]
The mirror no longer speaks in blame
I touch the glass it speaks my hope
every scar a holy thread—
woven proof that I was never less

[Pre-Chorus]
The world tilts and my breath expands
a trembling step an open hand
I'm not afraid of what I'll find
when love begins with me this time

[Chorus]
On the edge of light I'm breaking open
learning how to see with new eyes
on the edge of light my heart is chosen
to love myself and let the rest arrive

[Bridge]
A fire glows inside the dark
a quiet spark that will not fade
I'll walk into the unknown sky
knowing love has found its way

[Final Chorus]
On the edge of light I'm breaking open
rising into all that I am
on the edge of light love is the ocean
and I am ready to dive again

[Outro]
On the edge of light—
I am finally mine

The Edge of Light

I hope this song reaches your heart. 
Thank you so much for listening.

This is an original track.
I recorded the guitar, bass, piano and drums myself. Some elements like certain string parts, ambient sounds, and subtle adjustments were programmed using MIDI — although some of the string sounds were also played and recorded using an electric piano.
This track features vocals by Koharu Rikka (小春六花), a singing voice synthesizer.

The lyrics are as follows:
遠い昔　心の木を抱きしめた僕らは
光とともに

あぁ　温かさを感じてた過去の夢
今が全てと信じ　全て消えた

強い光に抱かれた　あの気持ち
きっと分かるよ　かたちのない心に会うと


壊れてく心の木を　もう一度咲かせて
光のように

あぁ　崩れてゆく大切な過去の夢
今が全てと信じ　全て消えた

強い光に抱かれた　あの気持ち
ずっと咲かせて　かたちのない心の花を

　
凍えた闇の寂しさを　時代を超えて放て

壊れてく心の木を　もう一度咲かせて
光のように

あぁ　懐かしさが伝わった　あたたかい
ずっと忘れずにいた　夢の香り

強い光に抱かれた　この気持ち
もっと咲かせて　僕らはここに居るよ

ああ　宇宙は全てを包み込む
空を真似した心は　星のように　

Shine Away
Shine Away
Shine Away
Shine Away

The fruits of the heart

The Fruits of the Heart 
— English Lyrics

Long, long ago, we held the tree within our hearts,
Awakened by the light.

Ah… the warmth we felt inside those distant dreams—
Believing “now” was everything,
Till it all faded away.

When that strong light wrapped around us,
I know you felt it too—
The formless heart we once touched.


Let the breaking tree within us bloom once more,
Shining like a ray of light.

Ah… the precious dreams of yesterday crumble,
Believing “now” was everything,
Till it all faded away.

When that strong light wrapped around us,
Let it bloom again—
The shapeless flower of our hearts.


Cast the loneliness of the frozen dark
Across the ages—let it go.


Let the breaking tree within us bloom once more,
Shining like a ray of light.

Ah… that gentle warmth returns again,
The scent of a dream
I’ve never once forgotten.

When that strong light wrapped around us,
Let it blossom even more—
For we are still here.

Ah… the universe embraces everything.
A heart mimicking the sky
Shines like the distant stars.

Shine away
Shine away
Shine away
Shine away

The fruits of the heart

Somewhere The Light Remains

[Verse 1]
I saw you standing in the quiet—
streetlights trembling on your skin
like they weren’t sure if they should stay
or disappear the way you did

You smiled small and crooked
like a secret you outgrew—
and I swear the night leaned closer
just to hear what you weren’t saying

[Pre-Chorus]
And I’m learning people leave in pieces
some slow some sudden—
but they always leave a mark
you carry quiet

[Chorus]
But somewhere the light remains—
on a road where we once walked
kicking stones making plans
we were never brave enough to live

And every time the wind shifts
I feel you turning in my memory—
a soft echo a half-finished sentence
someone I keep losing even as I hold on

[Verse 2]
I’ve been running from myself lately
through towns that look like old regrets—
the kind where the windows
seem to know your name

I keep thinking I’ll forget you
if I drive far enough—
but the rearview keeps filling
with pieces of you I didn’t mean to save

[Pre-Chorus]
Funny how the heart remembers
what the mind tries to sand smooth—
names nights the warmth of a hand
you never meant to need

[Chorus]
But somewhere the light remains—
on a road where we once walked
kicking stones making plans
we were never brave enough to live

And every time the wind shifts
I feel you turning in my memory—
a soft echo a half-finished sentence
someone I keep losing
even as I hold on

[Bridge]
You were good at leaving—
I was good at staying still
maybe that’s why we broke
like weather hitting glass

Slow cracks running wide
til they reached our quiet truth
but sometimes when I hear your name
I swear the world tilts the way it used to

[Final Chorus]
Yeah somewhere the light remains—
in the space between goodbye
and everything we never said
and I keep walking that memory road
barefoot hoping it hurts less someday
but every time the night softens
I feel you close again—like a breath like a ghost 
like a story I’m still learning how to let go

[Outro]
Maybe loving you
was the thing that taught me
how to stay—even when everyone else
kept leaving

By a Thread is 🤍 I just released a very personal new Christian alternative song called “By a Thread.” I wrote it last week during an incredibly difficult time packing up my home of 24 years, when both beautiful and painful memories came rushing back. The grief felt overwhelming, and I was barely holding on — but God, along with my family, friends, and the gift of writing and producing music, carried me through it all. If you have a moment to listen, like, or repost, it would truly mean the world to me. Thank you so much for always supporting my music — your encouragement keeps me going. 💛
