They tried to quiet me, dim my spark
Told me I was fragile, broke me apart
But I stitched my soul with light and steel
Now watch me rise, watch me take the wheel

Every time they push me down
I find my ground, I hear the sound
Of a heart that won’t back down
I am louder, I am proud

I got that pulse, beating like thunder
Power in my veins, no ropes pull me under
Feel my rhythm, hear my name
I was born to break the frame
I got that pulse, I’m electric
Can’t erase me, I’m kinetic
No more fear, no more shame
I run wild, I run untamed

I wear my battle scars like a crown
Turned my pain into my anthem now
I move like a wave, I shine like the moon
A force you can’t stop, I’m coming through

No silence, no shadows
No cages, no battles
I rise like the echoes
Of all the queens before

I got that pulse, beating like thunder
Power in my veins, no ropes pull me under
Feel my rhythm, hear my name
I was born to break the frame

I got that pulse, can you feel it?
I got that pulse, can you hear it?
I am light, I am free
This world will remember me

Mairidh Gaol is Ceòl: A well-known Scottish Gaelic proverb that translates to "The world will end, but love and music will endure”

Scottish born and bred. Just exploring some ideas spinning round in my head and putting them up here. Various styles of music and trying to find my niche !  All the songs are written solely by me. 
Im open to all sorts of music and appreciate the work folk have done. If you don’t like my music ! Move on. Don’t belittle yourself by leaving nasty comments. Im not influenced by idiotic behaviour or narcissistic twats 🥸

🎶 From Cassette Tapes to Creating My Own Sound 🎶

When I was a kid, music was more than background noise, it was my escape, my teacher, and my first real love. I’d sit with two cassette players, playing the Beatles on one and singing into the other, trying my best to match artists like Paul McCartney or Barbara Streisand’s range (sometimes successfully, sometimes not so much) 🤣. Homework could wait, lyrics in my wide rule notebooks couldn’t.

Life took me through winding roads, retail, hospitality, consulting, caregiving, but music never stopped calling. 45 years later, after many personal losses, and loosing one of my sons last year, I turned back to songwriting as therapy. Inspiration is all around me. Every song I create starts with raw lyrics, usually scribbled in one shot as I choreograph in my mind, then evolves into a fully produced track through hours of refining vocal coding,  instrumentation, and feel. I blend personal stories with AI driven music tools, letting technology and emotion work together to capture what I hear and see in my head and heart.

Now, I’m finally sharing it. Not perfect, not polished to death, just real. This is me, finally putting the music out there for you to hear.
Peace & Love ❤️

About me and my music :) all struggles for academia again #determined!!
"Work has started" :D at the "Ministry of National Education" on 10.09.2019 "legally" .. A perfect stepping stone for gaining my ex-career at academia back !! 
And, comparatively easier working conditions and satisfying salary when private sector in the country taken into account and more free time and legal permission for my doctoral studies .. :) 
And it feels as if state has returned to me with the "Abundance of Financial Redemption" ..  However, the thing that "I really care" is the "Psychological Redemption" I deserve for all of those unfair treatments in the last 3 years.. 
#education torch #education fire    #flames -> #fire -> # :))!!  
# P.S. I've been searching for "Apple" and its representation in different forms of art through different art tools :) #literature #art #music #education #LOVE  and SO on ;) :D :D 

"and we’ll get to work!" :D .. next week .. As I stated before, "Clouds are temporary; but the Sky is permanent " .. Justice came really late (approximately 3 years); yet AT LEAST it came ;)!! .. All "legal" documents have been handed in and the related process has been completed.. 
Thanksfully .. thanksfully.. thanksfully ..
flames -> fire ->  :)! ..
Just like that ;)! Just like that ;)! ..

From now on I'm a permanent member of Turkey Ministry of National Education ..

#flames => fire => .. 

Out of 2.000 vacant positions in approximately 70 cities in the country, I was given the right to choose 40 schools at different levels changing from primary to high school.. I did my best in "order of priorities"... 
"All I Can Do" from now on is just waiting the result ... 
# The sooner, the better :)!
# The closer, the better :)! 

Has the World started to rotate reverse ? Just a few minutes ago the vice-manager of the school I've worked at the Ministry of National Education called me to offer me  a job :)! Not longer before; but approximately 2 years ago nearly no institutions would accept my own job application to them .. 
However, in recent days I'm focused on the school selection process in relation with the recent interview I passed... 
A school at primary/secondary level yet closer to home OR a science-based high school but further to home ? ? ? ... THOUGH STUFF to deal with :)!! 
But all is pretty nice and I'm thankful ... 
#economicality principal of education #no more closed doors #education fire # education torch :)!!! #fire ... #flames ... #hopeful :)))!!! ... 
Passed the interview for the Ministry of National Education on 4th July ; for better positions- (at last!! after 2 falls)- with a triumphant success order :)! ... Now the crazy questions on my mind; Which city ? Which level ? Which School ? ? ? :) which which which :) ? ? ... 
By the way "Just Like That" and "Yellow(Dark Pink) Tulips"  are going to be re-mastered .. Related art unit has already been informed :)! #my brother #help #respect for the art and the artist #support #musician #musicians #music #success :)!  
One of my recent slogans in relation with my life; "Behind every successful woman/instructor, there is at least one musician always supporting her :)! " ...
