Lyrics:

Subway lights flicker, a tapestry of faces all around
Seven forty-five, Brooklyn to Manhattan bound
Hijab, suit, sari, in this melting pot underground
Jenna's lost in thoughts of her classroom, final day before summer's sound

Eyes meet across the carriage floor
With Alejandro, street artist to his core
Who are you? Where have you been?
Your mural on 5th, I've seen where you've been

Fleeting moments, eternal dreams
Nothing's quite as it seems
In this underground serenade
Two souls, a choice to be made
We're all just passing through
But connection's always true

He stands tall, portfolio in hand, gallery ahead
She sits still, lesson plans scattered, future unclear in her head
A world of difference, yet shared hopes they both dread
"Mind the gap," the speaker blares, breaking the spell of what's unsaid

The train jerks forward, time slips away
So much to feel, so much to say
Don't go, stay, let's rewind
Your art, my words, new worlds to find

Fleeting moments, eternal dreams
Nothing's quite as it seems
In this underground serenade
Two souls, a choice to be made
We're all just passing through
But connection's always true

The train jerks forward, time slips away
So much to feel, so much to say
Don't go, stay, let's rewind
Your art, my words, new worlds to find

Fleeting moments, eternal dreams
Nothing's quite as it seems
In this underground serenade
Two souls, a choice to be made
We're all just passing through
But connection's always true

Melodies intertwine like subway lines on a map
Harmonies rise and fall like the city's heartbeat
Solo alto sax breaks free, echoing through imaginary tunnels
Ensemble rejoins, building to a crescendo of urban dreams

Screeching brakes, lights go out, passengers gasp in fright
In darkness, their hands touch, a beacon in the night
"It's okay," he whispers, her fear he aims to quell
As lights flicker back, they're no longer parallel

Fleeting moments, eternal dreams
Everything's not as it seems
In this underground serenade
Two souls, a choice being made
We're all just passing through
But connection pulls us through

The doors open wide, a new path unfolds
"Coffee?" he asks, as new stories untold
In the echoes of what might have been
They step out together, ready to begin

Parallel Lines

05 The Luckiest

An easy-going track from a little while ago that draws heavily on The Beatles.

Hello, I'm Edeltraud Trncik, a songwriter who's been weaving melodies and lyrics for a long time. Music has been my faithful companion throughout this journey, inspiring me to create a diverse collection of songs that reflect my personal experiences and the world around me.

My passion lies in crafting heartfelt ballads. I pour my emotions and stories into each composition, striving to create authentic connections through my music. However, I always make sure to leave room for intuition and personal expression in my songwriting process.

I've been making music as a hobby alongside my husband. This partnership has been a source of joy and creativity, allowing us to grow together both personally and artistically. The synergy we've developed over the years shines through in every song we create.
Until now, I've primarily written songs for my own enjoyment and expression.
My songwriting draws inspiration from my own life experiences and current events that touch me. I believe that music has the power to tell stories, evoke emotions, and create connections. 
Through my songs, I invite listeners to see the world through my eyes - a world filled with melodies that speak to the heart and soul
