This one I think it's about excitement, expectation, anticipation at first, but then, considering the story it tells, the incident happens and the ship, Kanzi ru Miso, is lost with Stargazer.

This was the first song composed by me that I ever played live. I actually made it with the intention of presenting the synthesizer to my colleagues, back in 2017, to show them how versatile and flexible the instrument can be, what it can do.

This version has been recorded playing a MIDI file with CC on the JP-08. The live presentation did hurt my finger a bit, tho.

Here are two songs played at the same time with similar chords and melodies. Grobans version of You Raise me up is pitch shifted up to F major and time stretched to 86 BPM to fit perfectly with the icelandic song Söknuður written by Jóhann Helgason back in 1977!
