A lesson of loss is central to “Death of Dog”, a piano-driven remembrance of songwriter Oliver Kalb’s late dog, Lou. But the song is no dirge—its bright melody and Len-inspired second verse evoke an autumnal luminescence, treading a line between deep sorrow and upbeat pop propulsion. This juxtaposition of sorrow and bright determination is central to the song’s lyrics: how can we doggedly continue in our lives knowing the things we love can be taken away from us? Written after a series of difficult losses, the song finds Kalb with a renewed appreciation for life in the face of hardship, freshly emboldened to move through the world with a loosened grip on life: “I’m not its master, I give up the fight, I want no claim,” Kalb declares. Another Michael’s Alenni Davis offers commanding duet vocals, adding dimension to “Death of Dog” with fierce harmonies that counter Kalb’s gossamer voice.

Stars are shining 
endless skies above
Questions spinning in the night,I love
Tell me who’s the one who made it all
Who painted colors  in the cosmic sea
Who set the planets floating wild and free?

In the silence, I hear a whisper call
Long long ago, Buddha said
In the silence, I hear a whisper call
Cosmic mirrors all inside my heart 

Who made the universe, and shaped our fate
Who lit the flame to guide our way
Who holds the secrets beyond the stars
Who give it a name ,to all we claim

Stars are shining 
endless skies above
Questions spinning in the night,I love
Tell me who’s the one who made it all
Who painted colors  in the cosmic sea
Who set the planets floating wild and free?

In the silence, I hear a whisper call
In the silence, I hear a whisper call

Who made the universe, and shaped our fate
Who lit the flame to guide our way
Who holds the secrets beyond the stars
Who give it a name ,to all we claim

In the silence, I hear a whisper call
In the silence, I hear a whisper call
Cosmic mirrors all inside my heart

In the silence, I hear a whisper call
In the silence, I hear a whisper call
Cosmic mirrors all inside my heart

In the silence, I hear a whisper call
In he silence, I hear a whisper call
In the silence, I hear a whisper call
In the silence, I hear a whisper call
In the silence, I hear a whisper call
In the silence, I hear a whisper call
……..

星が輝く
果てしない空の下
夜に浮かぶ
僕の問いかけ
愛してる
教えて
誰が全てを作ったの
誰が描いたの
宇宙の色を
誰が自由に
惑星を浮かべたの

静けさの中で囁きが聞こえる
遥か昔ブッダは言った
”宇宙は私の心そのものだ”

この宇宙を、私達の運命を形作ったのは誰
灯を灯して私達の道を照らしているのは誰
星々の彼方位にいて秘密を握るのは誰
思うまま名前をつけ私達の主張に関わる存在

静けさの中で囁きが聞こえる
静けさの中で囁きが聞こえる
静けさの中で囁きが聞こえる
”宇宙は私の心そのものだ”
”宇宙は私の心そのものだ”
