One Life is an R&B-country reflection on oneness—one life, one love, one world—told through the steady wisdom of a tree.

This song is an invitation to return to what’s simplest: breath, presence, and connection. No striving, no proving—just “take your next breath and become aware,” and remember the light you carry is shared. 

 It’s for anyone who needs grounding, a reset from mental noise, and a gentler way of seeing. From “tree to tree,” may peace find a place to roam.

One Life

The sound of searching for the self you lost.

I Miss Me

Velvet Shadows

The Crossroad

“Dein Kleid” feels like a frozen moment that never lets you go — a bar holding its breath, a second of silence, and that flash of red that changes everything. It’s about the instant when longing and memory blend into one — when someone appears out of nowhere, impossibly beautiful, and suddenly the air begins to hum. The story moves between warmth and wistfulness, closeness and loss — like a scent that lingers long after the night is over. Wrapped in lush strings and gentle 70s soul, “Dein Kleid” feels like a quiet, timeless love memory that keeps echoing long after the music fades.

„Dein Kleid“ ist wie ein eingefrorener Moment, der dich nicht mehr loslässt – eine Bar, ein kurzes Stocken der Zeit, und dieses Rot, das alles verändert. Es geht um den Augenblick, in dem Sehnsucht und Erinnerung ineinanderfallen – wenn jemand auftaucht, plötzlich und unwirklich schön, und die Luft zu flirren beginnt. Die Geschichte schwingt zwischen Wärme und Wehmut, zwischen Nähe und Verlust – wie ein Duft, der bleibt, wenn der Abend längst vorbei ist. Eingehüllt in üppige Streicher und sanften 70s-Soul klingt „Dein Kleid“ wie eine leise, zeitlose Liebeserinnerung, die noch nachhallt, wenn alles schon still ist.

Dein Kleid

Die Bar hielt kurz die Luft an
Als sie durch die Eingangstür schwebte
Sie tauchte plötzlich auf
Wie ein wunderschöner Fehler im System
Ihr Lächeln war ein Kurzschluss

Die Nacht wurde plötzlich zu klein
Ich stolperte
Und fiel in dein Herz hinein
Der Club roch nach Whiskey
Nach Sonnenschein
Du kamst auf mich zu
Und ich dachte
Frier mir den Augenblick ein
Frier ihn für mich ein
Dein Kleid machte kein Geräusch
Nur Eindruck

Sie roch nach Sehnsucht, nach Gefahr
Das Licht tanzte auf ihrer Haut
Als hätte es was vor
Und ihr Kleid brannte wie der Sonnenuntergang
Knallrot
Draußen Regen
Aber drinnen stand alles in Flammen

Die Nacht wurde plötzlich zu klein
Ich stolperte
Und fiel in dich hinein
Der Club roch nach Sonnenschein
Du kamst auf mich zu
Und ich dachte - verdammt
Frier mir den Augenblick ein
Frier ihn für mich ein
Und dein Kleid machte kein Geräusch
Nur jede Menge Eindruck

Der DJ spielte „Take my breath away“
Als hätte er’s geahnt

Ich verlor sie kurz aus den Augen
Vielleicht für ’ne Minute
Auf dem Stuhl lag nur noch ihr roter Schal
Wie ein Satz ohne Punkt
Sie verschwand, noch bevor der Song zu Ende war

Seitdem riecht jeder Abend ein bisschen nach ihr

Die Nacht wurde plötzlich zu klein
Ich fiel in dein Herz hinein
Der Club roch nach Sonnenschein
Nach dir
Frier den Augenblick für mich ein bitte
Dein Kleid machte kein Geräusch
Will dich wiedersehen…


Dein Kleid

"The Monkey, the Cow, and the Crown Jewel" is a musical journey into a profound spiritual paradox from 13th-century Japan. Inspired by Nichiren Daishonin's letter, the Urabon Gosho, the song tells the story of Lord Jibu, a priest described as lacking wisdom and dignity—like a "monkey or a cow". Yet, he is praised in the highest terms.  

Why? Because his one redeeming quality is his simple, unshakable faith in the Lotus Sutra.

This orchestral folk-rock epic explores the theological concept of "derived sanctity." It's not about our own perfection, but the power of the ultimate truth we hold dear. Through the powerful metaphors of a "snake holding a gem" and a "dragon guarding sacred relics," the song builds from a sparse, intimate confession into a soaring anthem for the imperfect. It is a testament to the idea that pure faith is the one jewel that can make any flawed vessel sacred, transforming a life of shadow into a source of brilliant light.  

(Verse 1 – The Lament of the Flawed Vessel)
[sparse fingerpicked guitar, Hammond drone] Not one of two hundred fifty precepts kept, Three thousand rules of conduct, all unkept. My wisdom’s dull — like a horse or a cow, A monkey’s dignity is all I’ve got now. A broken vessel in these latter days, My strength’s a whisper, lost inside the maze. No merit gathered, nothing I can claim, Just a flawed old priest who barely speaks his name.

(Chorus – The Pivotal Faith)
[add upright bass, soft brushed snare] But nevertheless, my heart holds one thing true: I revere the Buddha, and the Sutra too. My only treasure is the faith I hold — A story for these latter days retold. For broken vessels shine with borrowed light, And in devotion, find their sacred might.

(Verse 2 – The Sacred Metaphors of Derived Sanctity)
[slide guitar enters with call-and-response] I’m like a serpent with a priceless gem — Its light redeems, though it’s not mine, but them. A dragon guarding relics, pure and bright, My being changed by the Dharma’s light. The jewel is perfect, though the snake may crawl, Untouched by mud, it sanctifies us all. My hands are empty, yet I guard the Law — The greatest treasure this world ever saw.

(Chorus – The Pivotal Faith) But nevertheless, my heart holds one thing true: I revere the Buddha, and the Sutra too. My only treasure is the faith I hold — A story for these latter days retold. For broken vessels shine with borrowed light, And in devotion, find their sacred might.

(Bridge – The Boundless Promise)
[choir harmonies swell, organ opens] A wisteria vine around a mighty pine, I climb to heights that never could be mine. My strength may fail, but clinging to this grace, I’ll save my kin and find their sacred place. For seven generations, I can bring them peace, A fine jewel of a grandson — granting release. Through faith alone, I soar on borrowed wings, And hear the song the Tranquil Heaven sings.

(Outro – The Mantra of Faith)
[fade with gospel humming — mantra-like repetition of “borrowed light…”] The monkey, the cow, and the crown jewel bright — A flawed man’s faith in eternal light. The monkey, the cow, and the crown jewel bright — Borrowed light becomes my own tonight.

The Monkey the Cow and the Crown Jewel

Give Me Your Heart

I cry so many tears

Verse 1:
How you love yourself?
Is it a right or a privilege?
Do you count your blessings in percentages?
Or yes’s and no’s?
Cause I’ve been checking out nuance, 
Detailing out my forms,
Giving grace to my norms. 
And the good lord knows,
Self love ain’t what you trace around the source,
It’s what you color in. What you color in. 

Chorus:
It comes from your heart, 
You’re prismatic within,
How great thou art,
Oh Roy G Biv, 
When you color in. 

Verse 2:
I heard Chalamet say in some interview,
“You can be the master of your fate,
The captain of your soul,
But you have to realize that life,
is coming from you, And not at you, 
and that takes time.”
Thought about that line. 
Got it tattooed on my side
Paraphrased that is,
Vincit qui se Vincit,
That ink is under my skin. 

Chorus:
It comes from your heart, 
You’re prismatic within,
How great thou art,
Oh Roy G Biv, 
When you color in. 

Verse 3:
And when you’re good, you’re good.
May not even know in real time.
But once you conquer yourself, 
You can also offer up a line,
Sayin one eight hundred 
Master of my fate, redirect,
Yeah one eight hundred 
Captain of my soul, callin collect.

Chorus:
It comes from your heart, 
You’re prismatic within,
How great thou art,
Oh Roy G Biv, 
When you color in. 
When you color in.

“Quiet Parts of Me” is minimalist modern soul at its most intimate, tracing the moment a guarded heart lets love witness fear, doubt, and unfinished emotion without shame. Felt piano, soft Rhodes, subtle bass, sparse drums, breathy tenor sax, and light cello give the song space to breathe, making every lyric feel close and unguarded. Inspired by the emotional precision of Sampha, the track is perfectly positioned for vulnerability-driven R&B playlists and listeners who connect with understated honesty over spectacle.
