grandioser fließender Sound… ganz einfach, aber so stark💪🏻😎

This is a remix of my first vocal offering which I originally released over 10 years ago. Some of the original (free) VST's have faded from existence so I worked with a few of my current favourites and one new one. By now I had switched to a Strat guitar and this is undoubtedly one of my better, more fluid leads. At the time, I was also experimenting with keyboards and was really just getting comfortable using two hands (rather than 2 fingers). Also at this time, I was getting comfortable using Cuckos Reaper. As for lyrics, they just came from the mood of the tune. Everything is drawn from life experiences, so a "cut and paste" of some old, but not forgotten, memories. I'm not sure why I chose the 3rd person to express these images. 

Broken Dreams
---------------------

[INTRO/SOLO]

You wake up from a nightmare ...
Or was that real?
Somehow you can't get out of bed
Fingers too numb to feel.

Sun coming through the window
But there's no heat.
Now, the silence is deafening
Not a sound from the street.

[SOLO]

Sweet smells from the pillow
As you turn in bed.
Memories of warm embraces
Filter through your head.

No matter now, the bed is cold.
The covers are all grey.
The memories still linger
Of a love that did not stay.

[OUTRO/SOLO]

“Sodea” is a dynamic and hypnotic afro progressive house anthem produced by Enaque & Nujord, featured on their electrifying album "Pulse Of The Tribe" – a journey into rhythm, roots, and raw energy.

Built on deep tribal percussion, evolving grooves, and layers of rhythmic complexity, Sodea brings a sound you won’t find anywhere else. With its signature Afro Progressive rhythms, this track delivers a one-of-a-kind experience — powerful, melodic, and impossible to resist. It’s the type of music that grabs you from the first beat and doesn’t let go… making you dance all night long without even realizing it.

The production is bold, clean, and spiritually charged — a perfect balance between traditional African influences and modern electronic innovation.
