Follow me, follow me, follow me, follow me.
Down, down, down.

The value of your virtue.
Is decided by someone.
Whom on a glancing glance at you.
Decided you were wrong.
"You'll never be a prince or king.
You can not wish for everything.
You'll not amount to anything.
There's nothing in this life."

Now, there's a lesson somewhere. 
But, I don't think it's begun.
And I can't help from smiling.
As I'm sitting 'neath the sun
"I won't worship commodities.
I feel like doing as I please.
Don't fancy falling, sprawling.
Pleasing every single one."

I declare that there is nothing I can do to win.
Put out there, that I won't try.
Don't know where to begin.
I declare that I will make the best of what I have.
I declare I don't agree that everything is bad.
I declare that I will take what I can get for free.
I declare that looking down is not the remedy.
I agree that any pen can conquer any knife.
I will not take your holiday.
I'd rather live a life.

Follow me, follow me, follow me, follow me.
Down, down, down. 

Oh, mother won't you give me.
Some of your advice for free.
Because, when I tried to join them all.
They up and raised the fee.
"I'll never find the golden key,
Upon the ledge of destiny.
Some people are just born lucky.
And I'm not one of them."

I'll never be a player.
Who sits playing his french horn.
I'd never be a doctor.
In the caste where I was born.
"Seems while we choose our destiny.
We only choose periphery.
There's many things you could not be.
Whatever choice you took."

I declare in spite of this, I'm aiming for the win.
I believe that at the starts, the right place to begin.
I declare that I might fly before I learn to run.
I believe that everything is okay in the sun.
I declare that I won't work, to work another another day.
I believe there's gotta be some other better way.
I declare that any pen can conquer any knife.
I declare through everything. 
I'm gonna live a life.

Follow me, follow me, follow me, follow me.
Down, down, down.

I Declare

HELIODORA – New Version

Verse 1
She wakes with the sun, forgets where it shone
Her hands still remember the life she’s known
Like river stones, shaped by the stream
She built her days from a distant dream

Verse 2
A fire inside, no shelter, no guide
She held her ground, with no one beside
No luck to lean on, just quiet grace
She held her home in a fierce embrace

Chorus
Heliodora, your name is a song
Soft but steady, brave and strong
Even as time lets the memories fall
Your spirit stays, and it sings through us all

Verse 3
She lived through her hands, in silence and light
Carried her love through the longest night
The weight of her choices, heavy but true
She gave what she had, she always came through

Bridge 
The past turns to blur, like a watercolor sky
Each line on her face, a soft, shining trace
Heliodora still glows in time’s quiet embrace

Chorus
Heliodora, your name is a song
Soft but steady, brave and strong
Even as time lets the memories fall
Your spirit stays, and it sings through us all

Oh Heliodora


HELIODORA – Nueva Versión

Verso 1
Despierta con el sol, olvida dónde brilló.
Sus manos aún recuerdan la vida que conoció.
Como piedras de río, moldeadas por la corriente.
Construyó sus días desde un sueño lejano.

Verso 2
Un fuego interior, sin refugio, sin guía.
Se mantuvo firme, sin nadie a su lado.
Sin suerte en la que apoyarse, solo gracia serena.
Sujetó su hogar con un abrazo feroz.

Coro:
Heliodora, tu nombre es una canción.
Suave pero firme, valiente y fuerte.
Aunque el tiempo deje caer los recuerdos,
Tu espíritu permanece, y canta a través de todos nosotros.

Verso 3
Vivió a través de sus manos, en silencio y luz.
Llevó su amor a través de la noche más larga.
El peso de sus decisiones, pesado pero verdadero.
Dio lo que tenía, siempre salió adelante.

Puente:
El pasado se vuelve borroso, como un cielo de acuarela.
Cada línea en su rostro, un rastro suave y brillante.
Heliodora aún brilla en la quietud del tiempo. Abrazo

Coro
Heliodora, tu nombre es una canción
Suave pero firme, valiente y fuerte
Aunque el tiempo deje caer los recuerdos
Tu espíritu permanece y canta a través de todos nosotros

Oh, Heliodora

Heliodora (Feat. Martin T.)

Me, acoustic guitar & phone app, just reflecting on the haunting lyrics here of "All Apologies" that speak to certain people among me who wish I ode them an apology while it's reverse in truth. I'll never forget when many years ago the lyric "aqua seafoam shame" popped in my head, started my car & heard that same lyric on the radio.

Colliding Clouds/ an "All Apologies" reflection

Orren Veerahlee is a mellow, textured blend of ambient tones, soft leads, and wobbly synth fragments. Built around gentle pulses, airy plucks, and subtle groove layers, the track drifts through warm harmonic shifts and flickers of rhythmic memory. It’s a quiet companion piece—more a place than a story, unfolding gradually with space to breathe.

Talk To Me

This was originally an instrumental track and featured on my album 'Cosmic Waves'. I decided to produce a vocal version and put the original audio into Suno. I made poor Suno produce about twenty versions, all based 100% on the original audio. The only words I put in initially were 'Free Free Free'. Eventually I chose three versions, from which I could take sections to add to the original audio and then wrote some lyrics. I went through a similar process as before and found two or three sections I felt I could use effectively. I then recorded my vocals, mixed the Suno sections with the original audio in LogicPro and this is the version you have before you! I'm pretty pleased with the result so I hope you like it too! The lyrics are below.

Free 

As free as the air
light as breath
surrounds us
unshackled 

As free as the wind,
slipping through valleys
blowing over fields
untamed and unruly

As free as the ocean,
horizon-bound,
restless and infinite
its tides knowing no master

As free as the sun on a summer’s day,
glorious and golden,
spilling warmth with abandon,
answering only to its own rising

As free as a leaf in the wind
tumbling swirling,
destination unknown
answering to nothing but motion

As free as a mountain bird
wings stretched wide
soaring past ridgelines
never knowing a cage
never knowing a cage

Freedom spoken
freedom won
freedom 

Freedom spoken
freedom won
freedom 

Freedom spoken
freedom sung
freedom

Dreaming

I have always loved music. I learnt piano as a child and have dabbled with guitar without ever learning it ... until now! I have been in choirs most of my life but have not really delved into making music until the last few years. After initially playing around with Garage Band, I moved on to Logic Pro and that's how nearly all of my music has been produced.

I use digital software, guitar and keyboards to produce my original music. I compose and edit using Logic Pro. Other people's vocals or collaborative vocals for any track really are very welcome! 

I love the interaction on Soundcloud and the comments from other musicians and composers are so helpful and supportive. Keep making music everyone!
