"The End of Longing" is a poignant acoustic ballad that explores themes of unrequited love, fading connections, and the bittersweet process of moving on. Set to a gentle guitar accompaniment, the song's lyrics paint a picture of a one-sided relationship where communication has broken down. 

The verses depict the singer's attempts to reach out and connect, only to be met with silence and indifference. Imagery of smoke dispersing and echoes fading emphasize the sense of loss and emotional distance. 

The chorus poses the central question of the song - whether falling out of love will end the longing, and if pretending is still an option. This reflects the internal struggle between holding on and letting go.

The bridge introduces a shift in tone, suggesting a growing acceptance that it may be time to move on as the nights grow colder and the emotional distance increases.

"The End of Longing" captures the melancholy and introspection characteristic of the folk and contemporary singer-songwriter genres, offering a relatable exploration of love's complexities and the pain of its potential end.

Lyrics:

Were the words I spoke
Never reaching you?
And I watched the smoke
Disperse into the gloom
Say that love is worth the waiting
But the silence speaks loud
I poured my heart into your hands
But you never saw it

If I fall out of love now
Will the longing ever end?
If I fall out of love now
Can we still pretend?

Every time I call
Echoes fade alone
In an empty hall
Where the memories roam
Say that we'll find our way back someday
But the path is fading
I showed you every piece of me
But you never noticed

If I fall out of love now
Will the longing ever end?
If I fall out of love now
Can we still pretend?

And the nights grow colder
As the distance grows
Every word feels older
It's time to let it go

If I fall out of love now
Will the longing ever end?
If I fall out of love now
Can we still pretend?

The End of Longing

"Threshold of Eternity," written and performed by Xak Stahl, is a haunting exploration of the liminal space between life and death. Originally featuring an uptempo beat, this reimagined version embraces a more reflective tone, aligning closely with the song's profound subject matter.

The new arrangement draws inspiration from Stahl's earlier work, "Echoes of the Emerald Wood," incorporating acoustic and folk elements that create a moody, introspective atmosphere. This indie/alternative sound provides a fitting backdrop for the song's deep, existential themes.

Lyrically, "Threshold of Eternity" paints a vivid picture of a soul caught between two worlds, grappling with memories of the past and the uncertain promise of what lies beyond. The song's melodic hooks and thoughtful instrumentation complement its poignant narrative, inviting listeners to contemplate the nature of existence and the choices we face at life's most critical junctures.

Stahl's emotive vocals guide the audience through this spiritual journey, perfectly capturing the tension between the desire to cling to the familiar and the pull towards the unknown. "Threshold of Eternity" stands as a powerful meditation on mortality, choice, and the human experience, resonating deeply with anyone who has ever pondered what awaits us at the edge of existence.

Lyrics:

Suspended in the void, neither here nor there
Memories flash like lightning, life laid bare
Loved ones' faces fading, their cries grow faint
As the veil before me lifts, revealing what awaits

On the threshold of eternity
Torn between two worlds, which will it be?
The life I knew or the great unknown
Straddling the line between flesh and bone

Looking back at shattered dreams, chances missed
Forward to the promise of ethereal bliss
Unfinished symphonies echo in my mind
While whispers from beyond leave doubts behind

On the threshold of eternity
Torn between two worlds, which will it be?
The life I knew or the great unknown
Straddling the line between flesh and bone

Do I cling to mortal coil, or let it all go?
Embrace the light, or fight against its glow?
The choice is mine, but time is running thin
To live or die - which path will I begin?

On the threshold of eternity
Torn between two worlds, which will it be?
The life I knew or the great unknown
Straddling the line between flesh and bone

Threshold of Eternity

LYRICS: 

Les murs me regardent, témoins de mes peines,
Les heures s’étirent, et mon cœur se déchaîne.
Je cherche une chaleur, un visage familier,
Mais la vie m’abandonne, dans ce désert glacé.

Seul au milieu, d’un silence profond,
Le monde tourne encore, mais sans moi, c’est fini.
Un cri dans ma tête, une quête inassouvie,
Seul et silencieux, comme un navire englouti.

Chaque pas résonne, un poids sous mes pieds,
Les rues semblent figées, la vie, déconnectée.
Je tends la main, mais personne pour la serrer,
Les regards passent au loin, sans jamais s’arrêter.

Je porte ma croix, un vide qui m’épuise,
Mais j’espère encore, qu’une lumière me guide.

Seul au milieu, d’un silence profond,
Le monde tourne encore, mais sans moi, c’est fini.
Un cri dans ma tête, une quête inassouvie,
Seul et silencieux, comme un navire englouti.

Peut-être qu’un jour, je croiserai ce regard,
Qui fera taire le froid, qui effacera le brouillard.
Mais pour l’instant, je porte ce fardeau précieux,
Seul et silencieux, un chemin douloureux.

Coeur Isolé

**Laxá & Heima Kvartett - "1 Ket"**  Dreamy Post Rock

A contemplative journey through light and shadow, "1 Ket" unfurls with delicate, melodic guitar patterns that glimmer like the first rays of sunlight breaking through a misty horizon. The strings of the Heima Kvartett weave a luminous tapestry, their rich harmonies gently ebbing and flowing like waves meeting a quiet shore. Slow, driving drum beats pulse steadily beneath the surface, grounding the ethereal atmosphere while subtly propelling it forward.  

Each note feels like a breath, suspended in time, as the piece builds with a tender patience, evoking a profound sense of introspection and longing. Laxá & Heima Kvartett deliver a masterclass in restraint, crafting a soundscape that is as much about the spaces between the notes as the melodies themselves. "1 Ket" is a dream wrapped in sound—a delicate balance of melancholy and hope, perfect for moments of quiet reflection.  

1 Ket by Laxá [Dreamy Post Rock]

“Never Really Loved You” is a stripped-back ballad that finds beauty in honesty and healing in heartbreak. With only gentle piano and raw, unguarded vocals, the song becomes a confession—an intimate reflection on loving an illusion rather than the person behind it.

The cover art brings this vulnerability into sharp focus: a black and white art studio fades into shadow, while the canvas alone is alive with color, revealing a dark-haired young man with sorrowful eyes. The portrait, vibrant against its monochrome world, becomes a symbol for the love and longing that existed only in memory and imagination.

Both song and artwork invite listeners to confront the truths we hide behind, to grieve not just for someone lost, but for the hopes and dreams we paint over reality. This is a song for late nights, quiet tears, and the slow, gentle return of hope.

静かな雨の午後、心に響くのは、誰かの小さな一歩の音――
『雨音リフレイン』は、高校生になった琴音が、自信をなくしかけながらも前へ進もうとする“今”を綴ったバラードです
雨音とピアノの余韻、繊細な歌声が重なり合い、聴く人の心にそっと寄り添います。言葉の“間”に込められた想いが、あなたの記憶と重なるように
静けさの中にある、確かな決意を感じてください
