Recently, our piano rearrangement of "Anchor" is also featured in DEEMO II as part of Song Pack "Album 14 - The Return of Summer Winds"!

"Anchor" was written to consolidate Aroma’s & Kaori’s memories along with their joint experience. We also wanted to express PAFF’s ability to turn negativity and trauma to become their source of strength, along with her determination to push through grief and suffering, using their experience as a foundation to save others. The bridge section also uniquely captures and echoes various key moments of PAFF’s life and journey up till now.

LYRICS:
Time is fading away, 
So much has been lost to date
All of our sacrifices, our love should suffice
In this tribulation, Oh.

Gravity is pulling me,
but I learned how to anchor myself to my feet
With this new-found strength,
I will carry your burdens together with you

Yes, our love will come through

There’s many reasons to grieve the past
but I chose to rise above it all
Forgiveness is power, the healing that lasts
So let this beat in your heart,
Forever more

Gravity is pulling me,
but I learned how to anchor myself to my feet
With this new-found strength,
I will carry your burdens together with you

Oh, there’s many reasons to grieve the past
you must choose to rise above it all
Can you hear me?
Have I finally reached you?

Won’t you believe,
Forgiveness is power, the healing that lasts
So let this beat in our hearts,
Forever more

Iris is an electronic music duo project striving to be multi-genre artists. All tracks reposted here are produced, arranged, and composed by Iris. If you want to license our music, or just get in touch, please drop us a message!

We strive to produce highly organic and unique music by infusing soaring melodies, mesmerizing harmonies, and appealing lyrics with grand waves of emotions surging from resonant electronic beats, evocative sound design, and breathtaking ambiance.

Our endeavors to escape from the ever-consuming commercialism of music have led us to venture into a diversity of genres. Iris’s inspirations are extensive, ranging in genres from trance to film and game soundtracks, electronic house to world music, jazz to future music, and many more. 

Consequently, our music doesn’t fit strictly into any established styles because Iris never set out to create just one style of music; Iris set out to make inspiring, innovative, and deep music to inspire hope and endless possibilities!

Even with the chaotic life, we find our own peace through small things. My ambient and tough sounds emphasized both light and dark side.
