So this track we thought we would take the classic jazz pop route “Danie Hollobaugh” on the vocals & vocal melody composed by Scott 

So the story is about a friendship about to turn into relationship, but the man doesn’t know if he should commit yet, although she does, she keeps telling him take chance “roll the dice”


Enjoy!!

Roll The Dice

Already lived story

I think this is the one where I used a classic soul progression. The packaging at the start that imitates a DJ scratch rhythm came when I accidentally touched a mi goreng pack of noodles around the mic and it fit so I used that. The stop start is influenced by ‘I Try’ by Macy Grey. Then a trademark 4 layers of cello for the chorus. It’s 4 layers cos that’s how I get the cellos to have enough power that I want. First time doing a vocal ’staccato’ sort of chorus like ‘Work Song’ by Hozier which is my fave Hozier song cos’ maybe I’ve overplayed ‘Take Me to Church.’ At the end a brief bit of funk. I remember trying something more complex but the classic James Brown sort of funky riff worked better so I used that.  The second verse is influenced by the production of ‘Hold On’ by Bishop Briggs with the claps. Then, a neopolitan chord for the bridge.  The last chorus has the 2nd chord flattened like ‘Imperfect For you’.  Also a harmonic minor scale being played by the synth lead which reminded me a bit of Just Like You Imagined by NIN. So we’re not lyrically referencing 300 anymore but musically referencing it. The horns are a new addition which I did just based on … what I thought might sound good. The verses/bridge are new but the chorus is from last year. Oh yeah I did reference FNM's Ricochet for the bridge. King for a Day is Spiderman's fave FNM record. Should just hired as a consultant when their biographies are due. Correcting people like, "nah it was a sunny day when that event happened." Yes, the weather is important. Details are important.

Speaking of mi goreng which I discovered in my 1 year of boarding school in Australia. “I do hope my overpriced education doesn’t offend you.” I remember looking at it and thinking it was strange that it had no broth. Then, tasting it and going “ this is amazing.” It’s wonderful how an Indonesian noodle brand has gained popularity in Australia. Other than that, I do miss the meat pies and Shapes (they are a good snack). It was also at boarding school that I discovered Meri lewa which was played once a week by the PNG boys.

Lyrics in English 

----- Introducing the song ----- 

“Ulysses, Penelope and Paul, The Pilgrim – The Myth Untold, pt.2” is a musical work that weaves narrative, poetry, and faith into a maritime journey where wind, destiny, and divine promise collide. Inspired by Paul’s voyage to Rome as told in the Acts of the Apostles, the song also echoes elements of Greek mythology—not as spiritual equivalence, but as symbolic contrast between human wisdom and divine revelation. 

The presence of Ulysses (Odysseus) serves as a literary metaphor, not as an object of devotion. This music does not promote religious syncretism, but rather uses mythological references as narrative backdrop to exalt the sovereignty of the Christian God. Paul the Apostle is portrayed as the true pilgrim—not guided by oracles, but by angels of the Lord and the unshakable Word of God. 

Each verse is an invocation of faith that withstands the storm, of hope that does not sink, and of a promise that remains firm even when the ship breaks apart. The glory belongs not to man, nor to myth, but to the God who saves, guides, and fulfills His sovereign will. 

This song was composed for the exclusive glory of the Christian God, and its message is clear: faith in Christ is the anchor that sustains the pilgrim amid the chaos of the world. 

----- Lyrics ----- 

 

(Intro) 

  

(Soldier 1)  

"The wind is rising..." 



(Paul the Apostle)  

"Sirs, I perceive this voyage will bring harm and great loss — not only the cargo and the ship, but also the souls aboard." 

  

(Julius the Centurion)  

"Your advice is wise, Paul, but I have spoken to the ship owner.  He knows these seas well. The voyage will be secure — we'll land safely in Rome." 

  

(Soldier 2)  

"I'm not sure... but I feel we should listen to this man. Many call him holy — the Christians even say he's a saint. Some say he's a pilgrim, a bearer of divine messages — like Mercury himself." 

  

(Verse 1) 

 

"Have you never heard how cautious and wise Ulysses was in ancient Greece?  

He followed Circe's counsel, survived the sirens and Poseidon's wrath.  

What if this man named Paul has received divine counsel about our voyage—and what if it is his God's will to save us all?" 

  

(Verse 2)  

  

Had you heeded in Crete, we’d have spared this pain 

Now the storm is a beast, and the sea is its roar 

Yet take heart, my brothers, God’s promise will remain  

No soul shall be lost, though the ship breaks ashore  

An angel of the Lord stood beside me in the night  

Saying, "You’ll face Caesar, your mission will stand  

So let courage burn bright, let faith be your light 

For salvation will come by His sovereign hand" 

  

(Pre-Chorus) 

  

(Soldier 3)  

"The heavens thunder with Scylla's  rage  — can you not feel the signs?" 

  

(Julius’ cousin)  

"We are Romans! We bow to no omens — yet if the Unknown God Paul proclaims is true, He will save us!" 

  

(Paul the Apostle) 

"Yet even Ulysses bowed to prophecy — and lived to see Ithaca once more." 

  

  

(Chorus)  

  

Through raging seas His mercy will prevail 

The tempest roars, yet we will not fall 

His word is our anchor, steadfast in the gale  

And His promise of life will protect us all  

 

The storm may strike, yet His hand will save 

His truth will hold, unbroken and sure 

His promise stands, our hope secure  

And faith will guide us through every wave 



(Saxophone solo)



(Final of part 2) 

  

From the sea's fury to the redeeming shore, 

Ulysses and Paul — pilgrims of sea and soul. 

One with wisdom, the other with faith, 

To Penelope beloved, to redemption fulfilled.

Uli - Ulysses, Penelope and Paul, The Pilgrim - The Myth Untold (pt.2)

Captivity is not about heartbreak — it’s a chilling descent into real psychological imprisonment. Identity is stripped away, reality rewritten, and freedom itself begins to feel dangerous.

Drawing on captivity trauma theory, Stockholm Syndrome, and behavioral conditioning, Exzenya transforms her voice and production into a cinematic portrait of control and isolation. The track opens with a haunting reinterpretation of the folk refrain “Down in the valley…” delivered in a rare, resonant low vocal, paired with hollow wind that feels like a broken transmission through an old radio. From there, the song builds into a dark, minor-key arrangement where vocals climb into plaintive highs, mirroring the push and pull of despair and yearning.

Captivity isn’t just a song — it’s a haunting story set to music. Opening with the ghostly echo of “Down in the valley” and a chilling wind, Exzenya pulls listeners into a dark world of isolation and control. Her deep, resonant lows and emotional highs make every line feel like a cry from the inside of a locked room. Cinematic, eerie, and unforgettable — this is storytelling that feels like a film score trapped inside a pop song.
