(Verse 1)
Your heartbeat echoes through the wires,
A fading pulse that still inspires.
You left your rhythm on my skin,
A ghost that breathes me from within.

(Pre-Chorus)
And even when the silence grows,
Your hollow heartbeat flows.

(Chorus)
Hollow heartbeat — echo slow,
Tell me why you had to go.
You're the sound I can’t replace,
Still vibrating in my space.

(Verse 2)
I chase your tone through empty rooms,
Your absence thick like neon fumes.
The world is quiet, cold, and bare—
But I still hear you everywhere.

(Bridge)
If love is lost in time and sound,
Why do you keep coming around?

(Outro)
Hollow heartbeat — stay with me,
In endless circuitry.


Hollow Heartbeat

The Optimist is a folk-indie concept album by shurpi, inspired by the life stories and emotional legacy of his grandfather, Aaron, as described in his personal written biography. Through warm acoustic arrangements and intimate storytelling, shurpi traces a journey across continents and generations — from wartime memories and migration to love, longing, and the stubborn hope that refuses to fade. Each track feels like a personal letter set to melody, capturing the quiet resilience of ordinary people who choose optimism despite everything. Nostalgic, vulnerable, and deeply human, The Optimist glows with the sense of home we carry inside us.
