@chrishelios: Thank you so much, Chris! That means a lot coming from you. 🙏✨ I've been using music to deepen my understanding of Tarot—interpreting the cards in my own words and through sound. It's been an incredible journey, and I'm so glad you connected with 'Temperance.' Balance is such a powerful theme, and I love that it resonates with you too!

"Temperance" is a serene and reflective track from Xak Stahl’s Major Arcana album, embodying the essence of harmony, patience, and balance. Inspired by the Tarot card of the same name, this song captures the gentle flow of life’s opposing forces coming together in perfect unity.  

With its soothing melodies and ethereal instrumentation, "Temperance" blends elements of acoustic folk and ambient soundscapes, creating a feeling of calm and introspection. The lyrics explore the art of moderation, the wisdom of patience, and the beauty of embracing life’s natural rhythms.  

Let "Temperance" guide you into stillness, reminding you that balance isn’t about control—it’s about flowing with grace.

Lyrics:

Step by step, I walk the line,
Between the fire, between the tide.
A careful hand, a steady flow,
Finding balance as I go.

In the stillness, I embrace,
The dance of light, the dance of grace.

I am Temperance, the calm, the guide,
Blending the dark and the light inside.
No need to rush, no need to chase,
In the flow, I find my place.

A river moves but fights no war,
It bends and sways, yet finds the shore.
Through patience, through the quiet air,
I learn to give, I learn to share.

In the stillness, I embrace,
The dance of light, the dance of grace.

I am Temperance, the calm, the guide,
Blending the dark and the light inside.
No need to rush, no need to chase,
In the flow, I find my place.

Day and night, the endless wheel,
Opposites merge, and wounds can heal.
The fire cools, the water warms,
A soul at peace, a heart transformed.

I am Temperance, the calm, the guide,
Blending the dark and the light inside.
No need to rush, no need to chase,
In the flow, I find my place.

Step by step, I walk the line,
Between the fire, between the tide.
A careful hand, a steady flow,
Finding balance as I go.

Someone_Else

Love Goes Far is a new folk, slow country two-step that we hope you enjoy and can dance to. Special thanks to dobro player Hamilton Belk for his contribution to this track. We also thank Bob Pagano for his guidance during production.

Verse 1
Love began when his door opened halfway
His eyes didn't see what our hearts say
We tangoed back and forth from love to hate
He lost a love, our fate

Chorus 1
The stars so bright on that gloomy night
brought us luck over time we stuck,
one star though we're far

Verse 2
When I left I remember Mary's eyes
The hurt in them pained me with my half lie
I told Mary that I loved Lucy
I wasn't ready to see

The stars so bright on that gloomy night

A force leads me back to my sweet Mary
I wait for her when night is darkest
Mary light the less with your kindness
Your feelings for me are a mystery

Bridge
Love gets closer, even when you're close to giving up

Solo

Verse 3
Our star comes back when we're older
It fills us with light and we're closer
In the light of a star won't you marry me
The star begins to fall, but love goes far

Love Goes Far

Give me just one night,

Let's dance until the morning wakes up.

Your eyes carry the light,

That the darkness breaks.

Give me the night – just once,

I'll term them forever.

A song, a picture, a wing beat,

Who carries you to heaven.

Your closeness sounds like a sound,

Like a whisper deep in the horizon.

Everything is silent, but I only hear you,

My soul sings for you.

Give me the night – just once,

I'll term them forever.

A song, a picture, a wing beat,

Who carries you to heaven.

And when the morning comes,

You stay in every word.

Love and pain united,

You paint my heart so much.

Give me the night – just once,

I'll term them forever.

A song, a picture, a wing beat,

Who carries you to heaven.

Schenke mir nur eine Nacht.m4a

Outcast to king

For Selin
A butterfly in the meadow sky
soft wings painting purple light
beside her an orange cat remains quiet
keeping watch keeping her warm
a safe place always near


Dance Until Dawn

[Verse]
The lights are dim the room feels wide
I see your shadow by my side
your eyes like stars they pull me in
A moment starts where time begins

[Chorus]
We'll dance until the world is gone
hold on until the break of dawn
with every step our hearts collide
tonight we're free no need to hide

[Verse]
The floor is ours we own the night
your laughter turns the dark to light
A thousand beats beneath our feet
A melody we can't defeat

[Chorus]
We'll dance until the world is gone
hold on until the break of dawn
with every step our hearts collide
tonight we're free no need to hide

[Bridge]
The echoes fade but we remain
our rhythm cuts through joy and pain
in every spin in every sway
we're writing songs that never fray

[Chorus]
We'll dance until the world is gone
hold on until the break of dawn
with every step our hearts collide
tonight we're free no need to hide

Dance Until Dawn

Having some fun with our '80s Cover Songs :)
Music by Thomas Mierkiewicz @user-297959700
Vocals by Kate Stanton, Written by Neil Moss & Michael James Hucknall
Did you know Mick Hucknall of English soul/pop band Simply Red wrote this heavy lyric when he was just 17? One can hear & feel his painful experience through his emotive vocal delivery.

Thank you for listening to our cover version!!

… Holdin' back the years
Thinkin' of the fear I've had so long
When somebody hears
Listen to the fear that's gone
… Strangled by the wishes of pater
Hopin' for the arms of mater
Get to me the sooner or later
Oh-oh
… Holdin' back the years
Chance for me to escape from all I've known
Holdin' back the tears
'Cause nothing here has grown
… I've wasted all my tears
Wasted all those years
Nothing had the chance to be good
Nothing ever could, yeah
Oh-oh, well
… I'll keep holdin' on
I'll keep holdin' on
I'll keep holdin' on
I'll keep holdin' on
So tight
… Alright
Oh, now
… Well, I've wasted all my tears
Wasted all of those years
And nothing had the chance to be good
'Cause nothing ever could, oh yeah
Oh
… I'll keep holdin' on
I'll keep holdin' on
I'll keep holdin' on
I'll keep holdin' on
… Holdin', holdin, holdin' on
La-la-la-la-la-la
I said, "Ooh, yeah"
That's all I have today
It's all I have to say

Songwriters: Neil Moss / Michael James Hucknall

Its All Up to Us

The Divine Design

A fierce criminal


These four walls should be whitewashed  
Or painted with a tropical beach  
With the sun on your head that warms you and tans you  
So much you feel it even when you sleep  

In the book I keep two daggers closed and folded  
The slightly faded photo of a friend  
And like a processor I slowly shut down  
Now finished  
A newspaper clipping with my biography  
The headline is a fierce criminal  

I don’t want it to be seen  
And I don’t want it to be said  
That the accused monster is afraid  

Forgive me  
Please forgive me  
I ask your forgiveness  
I ask everyone’s forgiveness  
God forgive me  
I also ask forgiveness of my soul  

I have always lived only under a stars and stripes roof  
And in America the penalty is capital  
On the wall there’s a phrase I beg your forgiveness  
I wrote it right underneath the crucifix  

The wardrobe is under the bed it’s a cardboard box  
I locked inside all my projects  
It’s a horizontally striped suit without a belt  
And without my shoes the uniform major a Tchaikovsky concerto  
A human gesture from the conductor  
I don’t even want to say goodbye to the relatives  
I just want to leave in peace  

If I had a screwdriver I’d stop the faucet  
That drip drip keeps me company  
I go in sync with the breath of my chest  
It’s the hourglass of my life  

Forgive me  
Please forgive me  
I ask your forgiveness  
I ask everyone’s forgiveness  
God forgive me  
I also ask forgiveness of my soul  

I’ll be cooked on a chair  
Among the spectators just after I can’t you think about it then  
Congratulations to the hangman

A fierce criminal

THIS KIND OF LOVE

Xak Stahl: Alchemist of Sound, Architect of Emotion

Xak Stahl is a genre-blurring music artist, sonic storyteller, and relentless experimenter. Every track he creates is a new world—a kaleidoscope of indie folk, alt-pop, electronica, and global flavors—infused with raw emotion and boundless curiosity. Xak’s music isn’t just heard; it’s felt.

From Shadow to Spotlight

For Xak, music is metamorphosis. His journey began in the shadows, transmuting heartbreak and struggle into songs that glow with hope. Early anthems like “Neon Dreams” and “Rising Through the Darkness” invite listeners to find their own light. His newest project, Major Arcana, channels the mysteries of the Tarot—each song an archetype, each lyric a step along the path from the Fool’s first leap to the wisdom of The World.

More Than Music: A Multisensory Universe

But Xak isn’t confined to sound. As a visual artist and writer, he crafts immersive stories that spill across genres and languages—sometimes haunting, sometimes playful, always honest. Whether he’s conjuring lush soundscapes, weaving bilingual lyrics, or creating striking visuals, Xak’s art dares you to feel deeper and dream wilder.

An Invitation to Transformation

Join Xak Stahl on a sonic odyssey that blurs borders—between genres, between artforms, between you and the music. Each release is an invitation to explore, to heal, to become. For Xak, every song is a spell, every album a universe. The only question is: are you ready to step inside?
