Lyrics:

So I, light the fire in the stone
Lead it out, beyond the forests and the roads 

And I let fools run into my mind 
Beyond the pillars of the Fortress that is mine

So I say go, leave it alone
Take the flowers,
Take the stone,
And I will grow alone

So I, call the actor to the throne, 
Let them lie, and keep the diamonds for their own 

They couldn’t rest, until they reaped what I had sown 
Another day, without the harvest I had grown 

And I let fools run into my mind, 
Beyond the pillars of the Fortress that is mine

So I say go, leave it alone
Take the flowers,
Take the stone,
And I will grow alone

So I, light the fire in the stone, 
Lead it out, beyond the forests and the roads

Fortress

he told me bout the trail in the tunnel
that I'm walking while
I'm thinking other people's thoughts
little voices
like your father's father's father's
farther than the others
all combined and confined to a tunnel of your thinkin
turn that little voice off in your head
he said


you may find it advantageous
in the long run
there's an exit but you gotta take it
while riding on the boxcars full of other people's junk
pulled by trains of thought
on shaky rails

Presidential (ft. Ryder Official)

maybe it's just me, but the end of summer has always felt like someone suddenly flipped a switch and changed everything overnight. the light, the air, the mood, everything. of course, there's this spectacularly beautiful transition called indian summer in canada and north america, and simply "herbst" here. but the beginning of this magnificent end always feels abrupt to me. recently, it happened again. just like when I was a child, I felt a sense of melancholy, as if it were a permanent farewell. maybe for it will actually be that way. someday.

anyway, in 1981, I had the bizarre idea of writing a musical. I was attracted by the complex challenge. but, above all, it was because I had always been immensely impressed by the musicals of the 60s and 70s: just freaking divine melodies, usually too dramatic, playful and operetta-like for radio.

I got started and wrote a musical about mice (while in london someone way more talented was creating one about cats;-) of course, autumn had to play a role, with all the feelings I associate with it, which I also attribute to mice. scene: two mice sitting together, watching a beautiful sunset, one of them starts singing and dancing.

over the past 40 years, I have reinterpreted the theme of this special part countless times (just example in the case of massive curiosity: ( https://youtu.be/az0T2Uzkgk0?si=QLOK4hJ5i5GcsDbr ), but it has only now become a song with the vocals written once.

I’d also like to share the very first sketch on the subject, once recorded in my band's rehearsal room with a working text. we shared the room with a keyboardist with an unimaginable amount of money. this allowed him to afford things I secretly used for this recording: a brand-new wonder machine called the teac tascam portastudio 244 80s 4 track multitrack cassette tape recorder!!! a yamaha cp 70 grand piano!!! a korg cx-3 organ!!! and a roland tr-808 rhythm composer!!! absolutely insane!!! the rest is my “voice” and, of course, the strat.

And since I’m already at it, I created a template-free hip hop interpretation of the lyrics that more closely reflects my current mood, which is certainly age-related;-)

One last warm ray of sunlight.
reflected in the leaves' dance.
A flock of birds flies away.
A sky full of differences.

Nothing blooms or sparkles in the air anymore.
Only the weary scent of farewell.
Of all the strength that once was.
Now, only memories remain.

A quiet dying, piece by piece.
Looking forward, we look back.
To everything light and carefree,
that returned every morning.

as if nothing was ever too late.
Because time turns in circles.
in a boundless world,
where nothing lasts forever.

Do you feel it, too?
Do you feel it, too?

Colourful and enchantingly beautiful to this day.
A play of colours, no farewell.
One last warm ray of sunshine.
There won't be another one.

There won't be another one.

Do you feel it, too?
Do you feel it, too?

Roman Gorielov - acoustic guitarist, composer & producer: https://linktr.ee/romangorielov

Hello! My name is Roman Gorielov. I am a musician from Ukraine. I fell in love with music when I was a child when I heard the album "Revolver" by The Beatles. The melody was magical and so in 1998 I started learning to play the acoustic guitar. 

In 2004 I graduated from a classical guitar music school and together with my classmates founded a band called Teatr Violy. We performed in local clubs, recorded at studios, and also were on radio and television. 

Since 2008 I have been taking part in the recording of Sunchild and Karfagen albums by my friend Antony Kalugin. Here I performed acoustic, electric and nylon guitars and sometimes backing vocals. During this period we participated at several prog-rock festivals in Europe. France in 2009, Holland in 2010, Belgium in 2013, France again in 2014 and 2017... The experience was amazing and rewarding. 

Since 2017 I started doing solo work: I compose, perform and record music myself in my studio using only live acoustic guitars. I can describe my music as melodic and emotional instrumental compositions with a gentle, soulful and lyrical mood. I am glad if you are interested in my music and I wish you all the best! 

P.S.: Oh, by the way, I also do the cover design and photos for all my tracks, so my work is a real self-portrait:)
