Tired of Looking Over Your Shoulder

As many of my followers know I love capturing the raw emotions and everyday experiences that shape our lives. I find great inspiration in the ordinary moments that make us human. By weaving together melodies and lyrics that resonate in some way and create music that connects with people and the complexities of the human experience.

Elara - "The Reality"

https://www.instagram.com/reel/DLUC-HuO2L2/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

Mic check, one two, this ain't no game, 
The streets whisperin' secrets,
 'bout the life you lived 
Every dollar hustled, 
every line that you crossed 
The innocent you stepped on, 
at what ultimate cost? 
They say you can run, 
but you can't hide from the truth 
When the reckoning comes, 
for the sins of your youth. 
The angels ain't singin', 
just the siren's low hum 
Countin' down the seconds, 
'til your Judgement Day come.

(Chorus)
 Judgement Day! 
Hear the thunder in the sky!
 No more excuses, 
no more tears to cry. 
The ledger is open, e
very debt's laid bare 
The consequences comin', 
breathe it in like the air. 
From the concrete jungle, 
to the highest tower's peak 
The weak become the strong,
 and the silent finally speak.

You built your empire on lies, 
thought you were so slick 
But karma's a boomerang,
 comin' back to hit quick. 
The shadows you cast, 
now they risin' up tall 
Watchin' your kingdom crumble, 
about to take the fall. 
The gavel is droppin', 
no appeal, no delay 
Just the cold hard facts,
 on your Judgement Day.
So stand tall or cower,
the choice is truly yours 
When the final bell tolls, 
and they open up the doors.

She learns all your secrets, 
without a single sound 
Walks right through your defenses, 
without touching the ground. 
Your instincts won't detect her, 
your radar won't perceive

The intricate designs that she meticulously weaves
She's not looking for glory,
 no need for loud acclaim 
Just the satisfaction of igniting the flame. 
And when the dust settles, 
and the pieces fall in place 
She's already moved on, without leaving a trace.

A master of disguise
reads between the lines
sees through all your lies
Shes the unseen force
the hand that pulls the strings
The quiet revolution that the new brings
You’ll never know she’s there
til the mission is complete
A ghost in the machine
impecably discreet

Elara - De-Resolution

Original Lyrics & Vocals by Heidi-Marie

I often wonder about the bass in the air, A ghostly echo, floating without a care. It shifts and shimmers, a phantom sound, In this perfect illusion, where truth can't be found.

Perfect illusion, a subtle disguise, It must have been a shift in the rhythm, open my eyes the beat faultered the pattern broke, and the flawless facade finally spoke

I often wonder about the bass in the air, a loren tremour a sense of despair, it fills the spaces unseen unheard by some, in this perfect illusion my senses feel numb.

I often wonder about the bass in the air.

Does it connect to something out there, a hidden signal a resonant frequency in this perfect illusion, a strange dependency.

Perfect illusion
built on the sound
it must have been a shift in the rhythm, shook the ground,
the vibrations waived the frequency bent the perfect deception suddenly went.

I often wonder about the bass in the air,
A ghostly echo, floating without a care. It shifts and shimmers, a phantom sound, In this perfect illusion, where truth can't be found.

Perfect illusion, like a fading dream, it must have been a shift in the rhythm, it would sing the beat dissolved, the echoes ceased, the illusionary magic was finally released.


I often wonder about the bass in the air, A low-end tremor, a sense of despair. 

I often wonder about the bass in the air, This constant pulse, is anyone else aware? It vibrates deep, a silent call, Within this perfect illusion, encompassing all.

I often wonder about the bass in the air, does it connect to something, a resonant frequency a strange dependency, built on sound shook the ground frequency bent suddently went, bass in the air without a care a phantom sound where truth can't be found.

ELARA - Truth Can't Be Found

Lyrics

Yeah, they talk about a pot of gold, a treasure at the end, right?
 But all I see are broken roads, where futures never mend, 
Paved with promises of light, a yellow brick they swore was true, 
But out here in the concrete night, ain't no damn dream comin' through. 
Chasin' rainbows on the blacktop, where the sirens scream and blare, 
Another whisper, soft and empty, vanished into thin, polluted air. 
Worked my fingers to the bone, put my soul into the quest, 
But the only thing I'm findin' is a permanent arrest 
Of potential, of ambition, shackled tight and laid to waste, 
This ain't no land of wishes, just a bitter, lingering taste.

Somewhere over the rainbow, they said the skies were crystal blue, 
But the canvas was a con, the pigments fake, the whole damn view. 
Just another twisted story, sold to souls that longed to fly, 
Now we’re stuck beneath this grey horizon, watchin' all our good dreams die. 
The vivid hues they promised, just a monochrome despair, 
Left with only heavy burdens, and the ghosts of what ain't there.

Used to stare up at the ceiling, see that spectrum in my mind,
 A different path, a brighter ending, leaving all the hurt behind. 
They said "reach for the stars," well, my hands just clutched at air, 
Every single aspiration, just a burden I still bear. 
That "somewhere over the rainbow" turned into a haunting sound,

Of opportunities I squandered, never truly coming 'round.
The echoes of the laughter from the life that could've been, 
Just another silent whisper, where a hopeful dream had been. 
Underneath a cold, dead moon, not a sun, just endless blight, 
Just the wreckage of illusions in this never-ending night.

Shattered Spectrum

As a musician and producer, I find myself drawn to the unique sonic landscapes that various musical modes offer. My latest endeavor is no exception; I've experimented with the Mixolydian mode and integrated it into my new deep house track. The result is a melody that is both familiar and exotic, which I'm excited to share. The Mixolydian mode, which is essentially a major scale with a lowered seventh, infuses a bluesy, relaxed feel to my guitar melody, offering a fresh texture to the deep house genre.

My parents listened to Franz Liszt - I still have the original record so I ended up a fan.  My music teacher was the late: Anatoly Miroshnyk (born August 19, 1923 - died July 14, 2011) was a Ukrainian composer, pianist, teacher, musician and public figure.

We often think of talented musicians as folks who start young and advance their skills via the finest education available to them. While this is certainly true in some cases, there are plenty who realised many of their artistic capacities without the aid of specialised instruction or a degree in music.

Where words leave off, music begins.. Not everyone has the ability to compose music I also sing Jazz & Blues with musicians on Wikiloops a truly amazing community.

 I've always been passionate about music composition and fortunately the internet & technology made it possible to build a community in the clouds.

Find my global music journey since 2012 below:

https://linktr.ee/ArapaMusic

I've been tested by an examiner from the Australian Conservatorium of Music & apparently I have perfect pitch and blessed with the ability to accompany any musician, add hooks to any genre - as a singer I’m not great but who cares thats why most is spoken word.

I have my own style - either you like it or not -  always open for collaborations

🎤I have no fear of perfection - will never reach it 🎧   I don’t have the perfect voice nor am I aiming to be the best I'm only human with a passion for what I love music is in my heart.

Thank you to all who believe in me and MOST OF ALL my amazing Mentor thank you Sir for encouraging me to NEVER GIVE UP it all takes time and practice.

My mixing & mastering techniques have been learned from Youtube tutorials & experimenting with Logic Pro X.   I love the creativity and flexibility music production - a continual learning journey  of #passion #persistence #perspiration #patience
 
Having begun her musical journey at the young age of five with the piano accordion – an instrument initially more of an expectation than a choice, yet one for which she now holds deep gratitude – Heidi-Marie eventually transitioned into the captivating world of electronic music production a few years ago. This discovery led to the gentle retirement of her accordion, making space for her true passion: composing, producing, and sharing her sonic creations with the world. For Heidi-Marie, music is not just a pastime but a lifelong dedication, a constant until her final days.
