Two souls meet where sea and starlight entwine—a world apart, yet drawn together by the pull of the tides and the ache of longing. On the moonlit rocks between ocean and sky, a merman and a wanderer find each other, their voices weaving a fragile bridge between worlds. Each harmony is a ripple on dark water, every glance a silent promise—love that is timeless, wild, and yearning as the waves.

With chamber pop intimacy and the shimmer of strings, “Call of the Distant Shore” drifts through depths of hope and sorrow, echoing the secret music of the deep. Their duet rises and falls like the tide, haunted by the memory of home and the dream of belonging. Here, where the lighthouse keeps watch and the sea whispers its secrets, love becomes a beacon—guiding lost hearts safely through the darkness, ever toward each other.

Moonlit water, silent beacon
Ghosts of longing drift ashore
Every night, the tide grows deeper
Pulls me further than before

Adrift beneath the silver morning
I watched the stars dissolve in blue
Soft as dawn, your voice was calling
Through the hush of waves I knew
And you whispered, “Come to me, come to me
Rest in my shadow
Here I wait, here I wait
Safe from tomorrow”

Oh, the call of the distant shore
Echoes through the breaking foam
Guide me back to where you are
I am lost, but not alone
With every wave, your promise grows
Carried on the undertow
Sing me home—
Sing me home

Did I wander in your dreaming?
Was your memory ever mine?
Now my lantern’s low and gleaming
Lost in tangled coral vines
But you sigh, “Not tonight
Not tonight—sail on, my sorrow
And oh, my soul—oh, my soul
Anchors in shadow”

Oh, the call of the distant shore
Echoes through the breaking foam
Guide me back to where you are
I am lost, but not alone
With every wave, your promise grows
Carried on the undertow
Sing me home—
Sing me home

If I fade into the twilight
If my voice is just a sound
Let your wind and water find me
Pull me up from where I’m drowned
If the stars forget to follow
And the world becomes unknown
Let your heart become the harbor
Where this restless soul is sewn

Now I drift between the silence
And the storms I cannot hide
Should I brave the wild horizon
Or sink beneath the rising tide?
Hear me cry, “Come for me
Come for me—soft as the swallow
Here I wait, here I wait
Brave for tomorrow”

Oh, the call of the distant shore
Echoes through the breaking foam
Guide me back to where you are
I am lost, but not alone
With every wave, your promise grows
Carried on the undertow
Sing me home—
Sing me home

When the final current takes me
And the daylight slips away
May your song remain within me
Like a dawn that finds the bay
Sing me home—
Sing me home

Call of the Distant Shore

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?
