Nostalgia

Been writing about methane holes in the arctic and fascists but who needs more of that stuff ? Here's some old heart song instead.

A Hard Woman. ( Steve Killingbeck )

Presenting
"Symphony of Wisdom"
Composed by
Heidi-Marie Arapa.

Lyrics by Heidi-Marie

In the haze of darkened confusion
Lost in a maze
Of my own illusion
I turned to her with eyes so true
 and softly whispered
What should i do

Her voice a gentle melody
Guiding me through uncertainty
In her wisdom I found my way
She’s the light
That turns
Night into grey
So I asked her what to do
She said
Follow
I’ll guide you through

Every step
Every choice you make
Believe in yours
For your own sake

Through the storms and the raging tide
She stood by me
Right by my side
With courage
From life so pure
She showed me a path
Steady and sure

Her words like a calming breeze
Easing my life with gentle eazse
In her strength I found my own
She’s the rock that I lean on
So I asked her what to do
She said trust in yourself
You’ll make it through
Take a breath
Let your spirits soar
You have the strength and
so much more

Now I see clearer than before
Her guidance lead me to open new doors
With gratitude in my heart
I stand tall
For her wisdom lifted me
When I would fall

So I asked her what to do
She said
Embrace who you are
Your dreams pursue

In your journey
Let your soul ignite
You have the power to shine so bright
With her words echoing in my mind
I leave doubt and fear
Far behind
For in her presence
I found the key
To unlock the best version of me

03 A Woman Needs a Lover

Pawel Strzelecki: 4. Finale [String Quartet No. 21 "No Time" (2025)].

Symbolizing a journey of solitude, freedom, and a hint of melancholy, this album captures the essence of wandering like the wind—observing the world yet remaining unbound by anything.
Each piece tells a chapter of life’s ups and downs, from battles and hope to release and ultimate freedom.
1、無懼 – Fearless (An epic opening, akin to the battles and challenges of life.)
2、希望之翼 – Wings of Hope (After the battle, a spark of hope ignites for the future.)
3、釋放 – Release (Breaking through life’s inevitable bottlenecks with courage.)
4、未知的戀人 – Unknown Lover (The sweetness and excitement of life, experiencing the beauty of love for the first time.)
5、頑皮探戈 – Playful Tango (A carefree and joyful moment in life, like a mischievous child.)
6、晨曦 – Morning Glow (A new day arrives, with sunlight piercing through the darkness.)
7、最深的思念 – Deepest Yearning (Drifting thoughts filled with longing for the past.)
8、逝去的曾經 – Bygone Days (Facing farewells and recollections, with the piano telling a silent story.)
9、夢之湖 – Lake of Dreams (Life flows like fallen leaves in the wind, searching for one’s true self.)
10、寬恕 – Forgiveness (Letting go of the past, learning to forgive, and embracing a new beginning.)
11、大地之呢喃 – Whispers of the Earth (Reflecting on the relationship between humanity and nature, returning to the roots.)
12、海闊天空 – Beyond the Horizon (Finally reaching a state of ultimate freedom, where everything feels light and unburdened.)


象徵著一種獨自飄蕩、自由卻帶點淡然與孤寂的生命旅程。我們如風般穿梭於世間，看盡萬物，卻不被任何事物束縛。這張專輯記錄了人生的起伏與感悟，從戰鬥與希望，到釋懷與自由，每首樂曲都是旅途中的一個章節。
1、無懼 – 史詩般的開場，如同人生中的戰鬥與挑戰。 
2、希望之翼 – 戰鬥之後，心中燃起對未來的希望。 
3、釋放 – 生活當中難免會遇到一些瓶頸，勇敢突破自我。 
4、未知的戀人 – 人生中的甜蜜與悸動，初嘗愛情的美好。 
5、頑皮探戈 – 生活中的趣味與無憂時光，像個調皮的孩子。 
6、晨曦 – 新的一天來臨，陽光穿透黑暗。 
7、最深的思念 – 想念過去的美好，內心的思緒流轉。 
8、逝去的曾經 – 面對過去的離別與回憶，純粹的鋼琴訴說無聲的故事。 
9、夢之湖 – 人生如落葉隨波逐流，尋找最初的自己。
10、寬恕 – 放下過去，學會寬恕，迎接新的開始。 
11、大地之呢喃 – 回歸自然，思考世界與人類的關係。 
12、海闊天空 – 最終達到無拘無束的境界，一切雲淡風輕。


大地之呢喃 (Whispers of the Earth)

Whispers in the Shadows is a haunting and enigmatic composition that unfolds like a delicate secret carried by the night. The piece begins with a soft, atmospheric texture—subtle, almost imperceptible tones that echo like distant murmurs in a quiet forest. Ethereal strings weave a spectral melody, while deep, resonant bass lines pulse beneath, suggesting something unseen yet ever-present.
With a blend of tension and beauty, Whispers in the Shadows invites listeners into a world of mystery and intrigue—perfect for evoking suspenseful, introspective, or otherworldly moments. It lingers in the space between light and dark, leaving you with more questions than answers as it fades into the unknown.
