Join me on a shamanic journey into the Celtic Underworld to meet Cerridwen and her cauldron. 

This track was originally released in September 2023, but has now been very kindly remixed and revamped by APi_ZZ.

Words: 

Long before the wily Serpent,
And Times and Tides faraway
There was another current,
A slower one, of the People of the Fae.

Back then the same white Moon was gleaming
down, silvering the seas of old, 
But to those folk, both treasure
and pleasure were measured by meaning,
And a man’s dreams were valued more than gold.

They were known to some as the Ever Young 
Who dreamed of the hag Cerridwen.
Her Grail of inspiration, they sung
Wouldn’t boil the meat of a coward,
The poets were the keepers of her gates
Into her Underworld towers. 
They would only let the true knights through

So if you have the courage,
The Grail is here to serve you.

Gathered around Her simmering cauldron, 
Let’s remember her again today.
In rooms lit by only a candle,
We follow a forgotten causeway. 

Let us go deep, go down and down
Through the Well of the Stars below...

Down and down and down we sink,
Into a realm as black as ink
Down beyond all sense or rhyme
Down beyond all thought or time
Down and down and down we go
Until we hear a sound below.
A command that wakes our blood from sleep. 
 
“Open the Gates”.

NOELA SABBA - PRINCESA ENCANTADA.

Listen to your mama
'S what was said to me
Ain't like your papa
Shame creepin' up on me

With every cell of my body
And the strongest might
I fought with pride and indignation 
To prove that I was right
Till I won
Then I lost
Now I look in the rear view mirror
As I say
Hmmm…

Listen to the angels
That bless us from the sky
Believe in heaven
Don't catch the devil's eye

I pushed away any notion
Of a faith-filled soul
Then the news beamed horror stories
Of war-ravaged homes
What did I do to be deserving
But they didn't?
Now I catch myself sneaking glances up above
To say
Hmmm…

Life gives us chances 
But life is too short 
Time is a band-aid
Wouldn't you rather move on

So if you find yourself questioning the rights and wrongs of life
Maybe take a breath and one step back
And say
Hmmm… 

Take a step back
I'll say
You'll say
We'll say
They'll say

Heavy
Your eyes that itch and scratch when you are falling
In and out of restlessness is beginning 
You are on my mind I have no worries 

For the Morning 
The moment that you wake but still you’re sleeping
In and out of consciousness beginning 
Wondering 2 minds 
Tick tick daylight
shine on

When the world sleeps with you
When the world sleeps with me
It’s When we sleep together 
we share the same dream

Do we
As spiritualistic creatures link our minds
Subconscious deviants in space and time
Do we share the same control
When we dream at night
Lucid in own rights

We replay
movie magic from day recorded thoughts
Electrically charged sleep astronauts 
Returning to a place we lost
Across the gulf of space is crossed 
we ascend 

When the world sleeps with you
When the world sleeps with me
It’s When we sleep together 
we share the same dream

We march across sand dunes
We see the dark of the moon
Cause when we sleep together 
Our senses are in full bloom

When the world sleeps with you
When the world sleeps with me
When we sleep together 
Together is all we need

Until the end of the world 
the kiss that’s blown from the girl
Disturbs us from quiescence
Poetic in its curse

I love abandoned places burning in the sun and the desolation of passing time.

Oatie The Ghost

"Summer Symphony" is a nostalgic anthem that transports listeners back to the carefree, sun-soaked days of 1980s suburbia. The song intricately weaves the innocence and adventure of childhood summers through evocative lyrics and a warm, melodic tune. As the chorus swells, it captures the endless summer days and the hazy, golden memories of youth, with kids riding bikes, catching fireflies, and the distant sound of boom boxes echoing through neighborhood streets.

Musically, the track blends mellow acoustic guitars with uplifting synths, creating a sound that is both retro and timeless. The bridge offers a poignant reflection from the perspective of adulthood, longing for the simplicity of those past days yet finding joy in the recollection.

"Summer Symphony" is more than a song; it's a heartfelt journey back to a simpler time, making it a perfect addition to any playlist that celebrates the enduring spirit and nostalgia of Generation X.

This song was inspired by my love for the game "Sly Cooper 3," which I played on the PS2 when I was young. The game features a variety of musical genres, each enhancing the atmosphere and storytelling in different parts of the game. The soundtrack includes a mix of jazz, orchestral, world music, electronic, and ambient styles.

I don't know of any other game that blends these styles so uniquely, thanks to the American composer Peter McConnell.

That's why I wanted to recreate this musical style, drawing significant inspiration from the track "Blood Bath Bay."

Sly Cooper, the main character, is a raccoon with a blend of pirate and spy traits. I aimed to capture his identity in my music by dividing my track into two parts: the first with a pirate vibe, and the second with a spy feel.
