Great Escape

The GOD in me

Way Out

Cruel

Sharp, precise, intense and rhythmic composition with a tender expression, Cloud Memories is more than just a simple song, it holds complex ideas in simple lines. The dreams, memories, happiness, sadness, hopes and love of the writer towards his lost love combining with the balance of tone and phrasing gives a unique and vibrant emotion.
The song speaks for itself; sparkling inspiration from the past than drowning in memories. The rich and resonant chord progression dominate the scene as the main theme is somewhat developed. The complexity of ideas are accompanied by the melody, making it enjoyable for the listener. The idea of merging different aspects of relationship throughout the song represents the band, whose members are rooted all across the world like the roots of a plant, gathering resources and combining them into a beautiful flower that spreads the colours of music.

Cloud Memories

One of my oldest songs, finally finished ! Enjoy ;)

Verse 1

Wanting you here
But you're oh so far
I forgot how to live when you are not around

Those people I meet
All act the same
While I'm just longing for your smile, to keep me sane ...

Chorus

So can you hear me now ?
Cause I need everything you are
But all I've got left tonight
Are the city lights to warm my sickly heart

Verse 2

I'm a lost soul at sea, 
Tired and sinking down
Deathly wishing for land
So you can fix me up

So let me know
If you are
Just as broken as me
While we're apart

Chorus

Bridge

Make me believe once again
Or make me sick with love
And leave for dead ...

Outro

All I want is
Your whispered voice through the night
To steal my tears away
And heal my mind

Apart
