Echoes Of Light

ALLOW IT（Pre-production）

And the Sun

Out of my mind

I was out of my mind

Crawling the floors
Clawing the walls
Smiling out from an empty shell
Closing the doors
Embracing the falls
Tied up in a personal hell

My heart kept on thumping
My blood kept on flowing
My pulse kept on throbbing
And all the while no one knowing
I was out of my mind

Curl up in bed
Bury my head
Style it out while I hide my face
So much to say
But nothing was said
While all those thoughts went to waste

My heart kept on thumping
My blood kept on flowing
My pulse kept on throbbing
And all the while no one knowing
I was out of my mind

My heart kept on thumping
My blood kept on flowing
My pulse kept on throbbing
And all the while no one knowing
I was out of my mind

I was out of my mind

Thumping

When Tom approached me with this piano melody, the initial arrangement and the title to which he hoped I’d add lyrics and vocals, I thought it was almost unnecessary as the piece already said everything required. Shortly afterwards, Jussi had added sublime guitar which offered a hopeful balance in the mood. Knowing what Tom was referring to without discussing it openly I wrote these words from a similar position of experience. I contrasted the first verse of a woman at her peak with the second verse of a woman in decline to heighten the emotion. I found that the spoken word approach allowed more emotion to flow from both the music and the words. Tom had the great idea to ask Hidefumi to complete the song with a phenomenal solo. Thank you to everyone who helped make this come together, and a very special thanks to all of you for listening.

She knows just what it feels like now.
I think she’s losing it, I think she’s losing it. 
When she is almost ready, 
She will lose her reserve 
And her inhibition too.
Then she’ll lose herself in herself and then she’ll be free,
To be what she wants, what she wants to be.

She knows not who she feels like now.
I know she’s losing it, I know she’s losing it. 
As if she's gone already, 
She has lost her reserve 
And her inhibition too.
Already lost herself in herself and now she’s elsewhere,
Knows not what she wants, nor who she used to be.

She's Losing It - Tom Régnier/Jussi Welin/Mark J Bennett/Boon-Suzuki

hello surfer girl, it’s a good thing comin’
where have you been? 
in the southern wind
back again?
it’s a good thing comin’

hey surfer girl, where have you been?
it’s a cool thing comin’ in the summer wind
and it’s a sweet dream that’s happenin’
well it’s a good thing comin’

hey surfer girl, how have you been?
it’s a good thing comin’ when it’s happenin’
and it’s a southern wind blowing through
your sweet dream

hey surfer girl, where have you been?
it’s a clear dive down to the water within
your sweet dream that you’re swimmin’ in
feels good again

hey surfer girl, where have you been?
it’s a slow burn down to the fire within
your sweet spells that you’re chantin’ in
feel real again

hey surfer girl, how have you been?
it’s a good thing blowin’ in the summer wind
and those sweet smells that you’re breathing in…

hey surfer girl, where have you been?
it’s a deep sleep now that you’re sinking 
into your sweet dreams that you’re swimming in
 feel good again

hey surfer girl,  how have you been?
it’s a deep sleep now that you’re sinking 
into your sweet truth that you’re swimming in 
feel good

hey surfer girl, where you have been?
it’s a good thing blowin’ in the southern wind, 
and those sweet smells that you’re breathing in…
it’s a good thing comin’ ...

Surfer Girl Dreams

here you will find music composed and played exclusively for myself, for my soul. No compromise with fashions and trends, no pre-established adherence to a musical style.
I grew up with 80's music and then deviated towards metal....so...what we are today reflects our thoughts of yesterday
