10 - Whispers Of Change (From the Original Novel Soundtrack)

a future passed

Take It

Home was full of landmines, each step unsure
Words like shrapnel, sharp and impure
The table shook when his shadow grew
We learned the script of what not to do

Eyes on the clock, hands never bold
A fragile child, too young to grow old
Walls held secrets, screams left their trace
We wore our silence like armor and grace

We’re written over, but never erased
Each line a layer, each wound interlaced
Ink from the past, yet here we persist
A palimpsest of scars and twists

I am the palimpsest, lines entwined
Old shadows whisper, but they’re redefined
Erase, rewrite, the page still holds
The story bends, but it’s never sold

The past lives on in subtle refrains
A flinch at kindness, the weight of chains
I scan the faces, I read the air
Still braced for storms that aren’t really there

His voice lingers in the back of my head
A phantom editor of words unsaid
Even love feels like a test to pass
A trembling echo in fragile glass

We’re written over, but never erased
Each line a layer, each wound interlaced
Ink from the past, yet here we persist
A palimpsest of scars and twists

I am the palimpsest, lines entwined
Old shadows whisper, but they’re redefined
Erase, rewrite, the page still holds
The story bends, but it’s never sold

The ink may bleed, but my hand is steady
The future waits, the pen is ready
What was a prison now feels like grace
I’ll draw new maps on the same old space

I am the palimpsest, bold and free
A story unbound, still writing me

Palimpsest

Melodic progressive metal with brass jazz infusion from the debut self-titled album by Red Dust of Mars

LYRICS
I haven’t seen you for days on end,
Like fools lost in the wind.
Are you out there chasing dreams?
I need you—come to me

I’ll be there,
Just for you

I don’t know where you are tonight,
Are you dancing in the fading light?
You know when the light comes up,
It always leads you back to me.
I’ll be there,
Just for you, 

Even if you’re far away,
I’ll wait for the dawn of the day.
Because true love never fades away,

Yeah, I’ll be there,
Just for you

I don’t know where you are tonight,
Are you dancing in the fading light?
You know when the light comes up,
It always leads you back to me.
I’ll be there,
Just for you, 

Are you dancing in the fading light?
Are you dancing in the fading light?

I don’t know where you are tonight,
Are you dancing in the fading light?
You know when the light comes up,
It always leads you back to me.
I’ll be there,
Just for you

DANCING IN THE FADING LIGHT

[Verse 1]
I whispered soft as your eyelids fell 
Tales of shadowed realms where spirits dwell 
Every laugh, every tear, every sigh 
Carved in night where echoes lie

[Verse 2]
Awareness burns, a candle in stormed skies 
Desire calls the night, curiosity reigns 
The echoes linger where memory remains

[Chorus]
Echoes beyond, ride the blackened wind 
Every soul returns, reborn again 
Merge, dissolve, awaken anew 
Through endless echoes, life flows through you

[Verse 3]
Hands once held now pulse in twilight veins 
Whispers of you in shadowed rains 
Entropy cleaves what time has worn 
From smoldering ashes, new life is born

[Bridge]
Hands I held will touch again 
In hidden worlds where chaos reigns 
Entropy prunes, yet sparks remain 
Guiding the cycle, the eternal refrain

[Chorus reprise]
Echoes beyond, ride the blackened wind 
Every soul returns, reborn again 
Merge, dissolve, awaken anew 
Through endless echoes, life flows through you

[Outro]
Through shadowed halls, through silent skies 
The cycle hums, it never dies 
Fragments of you, forever drawn 
Into the echoes beyond the dawn

Echoes Beyond The Dawn

Obviously an homage to a certain very famous song. Hope this will become as famous as that one 😂

Lyrics:   (english translation below)

korábban érkeztél   vagy
én késtem pár percet 
kettőnknek rendeltél  én meg 
fizettem helyetted    
leültünk a sarokba
háttal a sötétnek
tálcánkon a konyak legyen
 kezdete a végnek

chorus:
ugyanaz 
a folyó
amibe bele
lépünk 
midig ugyan-
-úgy sodor
és ugyanúgy
félünk
                           
verse2:
szemedből  felhők úsznak
szépen éppen most el
indulok én is hogy  ha
mondod  nekem  hogy kell
de  magamtól maradnék még
tovább egy picit
csak űlnék  itt veled és
szívnék egy cigit
chorus
solo:chorus
verse 3:
másnap majd megbánjuk hogy 
sokáig maradtunk
az eltűnő idő helyett
csak egymásra hallgattunk  
fekszünk az ágyban
a világnak háttal 
magunkba zuhanva
letörött  szárnnyal
 translation:
Verse 1:

You arrived a little early, or
I was a few minutes late
You ordered for the two of us, and
I paid for you instead

We sat down in the corner,
With our backs to the dark
Let the cognac on our tray
Be the beginning of the end

Chorus:

The same
River
That we
Step into

It always
Flows the same
And we're just as
Afraid

Verse 2:

Clouds drift from your eyes,
Beautifully, right now
I'll leave too if
You tell me I have to

But I'd stay on my own
For just a little longer
I'd just sit here with you
And smoke a cigarette

Chorus
Solo: Chorus

Verse 3:

Tomorrow we'll regret
Staying up for so long
Instead of the disappearing time,
We only listened to each other

We lie in bed,
With our backs to the world
Collapsing into ourselves,
With broken, clipped wings

This is the principal soundcloud channel for original one-man music by gd&themultitracks.  Mainly instrumental, the music was home-recorded in stroud, england using hardware synths & instruments and Audacity community software for editing and mixing the individual multitracks.  I've had great enjoyment in making (& listening to!) the music, but any plays or feedback would be much appreciated. 
The music spans a wide range of sounds & genre.  I've put a selection of tracks into playlists which cover much of the music:  rock, melodic rock, soft guitar, ambient, electronica, soundtrack, jazz & blues..
enjoy your music ... just play on!
