📝 Description
"Lingering Light in Winter’s Embrace" is a chamber composition for eight instruments, deeply rooted in the expressive tradition of the Russian musical school, profoundly inspired by the legacies of Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky and Georgy Sviridov. The piece seeks to capture the ephemeral beauty of memory, weaving an atmosphere of tender melancholy and quiet contemplation, as if illuminated by the delicate glow of a winter landscape.

At its heart lies the theme of nostalgia — a longing for moments lost, expressed through a lyrical dialogue between the strings (first and second violins, viola, cello, and double bass) and the poignant timbre of the winds (flute, oboe, and clarinet). The strings evoke heartfelt emotions, whispering tales of cherished recollections, while the winds add a breath of airy lightness and a subtle shimmer of hope. The double bass provides a resonant foundation, grounding the composition in the timeless embrace of the natural world.

This work transcends a specific narrative, instead inviting listeners on an emotional journey — a meditation on the fleeting nature of time, the enduring power of the human spirit, and the universal search for harmony. "Lingering Light in Winter’s Embrace" is a sonic painting, a tapestry of sound designed to stir the soul and awaken the imagination. It’s a testament to the beauty found within stillness, and a celebration of the delicate balance between joy and sorrow.

Lingering Light in Winter’s Embrace

I have always loved the story of King David, from killing Goliath to his accension to King. All the good things and the bad....


[Verse 1]  
Out in the hills with a sling in my hand  
Tending the sheep at the Lord’s command  
Thunder would roll, and the lion would roar  
But I sang to the Lord and feared no more  

[Verse 2]  
Samuel came with oil and flame  
He said, “The Lord has called your name”  
While brothers stared in disbelief  
I bowed my head in quiet relief  

[Chorus]  
I fall, I rise, I run, I pray  
The Lord’s my rock, my hiding place  
Through every sin and battle scar  
He holds me close, He knows my heart  
The path is dark, the climb is steep  
But grace has hands that never sleep  
Through joy and shame, through sword and song  
To You, O Lord, I still belong  

[Verse 3]  
Faced a giant with stones and a cry  
“You come with sword, but I'm with the Most High”  
The world stood still, the battle won  
But pride would come before too long  

[Verse 4]  
I danced before the ark with joy  
A shepherd king, no longer a boy  
But lust and murder stained my name  
And still, I called upon His name  

[Chorus]  
I fall, I rise, I run, I pray  
The Lord’s my rock, my hiding place  
Through every sin and battle scar  
He holds me close, He knows my heart  
The path is dark, the climb is steep  
But grace has hands that never sleep  
Through joy and shame, through sword and song  
To You, O Lord, I still belong  

[Bridge]  
The child I lost, the tears I shed  
The throne I feared, the blood I bled  
Absalom’s cry tore through my soul  
But mercy wrote my final scroll  

[Verse 5]  
Now gray with years, my hands are weak  
But still Your face is all I seek  
Not in the palace or the praise  
But in the song my spirit plays  

[Final Chorus]  
I fall, I rise, I run, I pray  
The Lord’s my light, my only way  
He lifts me up when I have failed  
His love endures, it never pales  
The battle ends, but not the grace  
I’ll see my Lord, I'll see His face  
Through every wrong, through every psalm  
To You, O Lord, I still belong  


“The Lord is my shepherd… I shall not want.”  


Psalm of David

==== Introducing the Song ====

Prepare to be swept away by the romantic tones of "Aquarela – Um Encontro em Veneza", a tender and cinematic ballad that turns fleeting moments into everlasting emotions. In this musical collaboration between Uli and lyricist Dani, a dream journey through Venice unfolds into a story painted with the softest strokes of fate, longing, and rediscovery.

“Aquarela” isn’t just a song. It’s an emotional painting that reminds us: true love moves like art—unexpected, vivid, and unforgettable.

==== Lyrics in Brazilian Portuguese ====

(Verse 1)
A tão esperada viagem chegou
E um grande sonho então se realizou
Lugar encantado, Veneza, cidade do amor
Brilhos nos olhos, tudo aqui hipnotizou

(Verse 2)
Entre os passeios, tudo era ideal
Até que algo fugiu do normal
Um vento leve soprou devagar
E o meu chapéu começou a voar

(Chorus)
Te vi ali tão bela
Alegrou a minha aquarela
Riso solto, olhos de mar
E o mundo inteiro parou pra olhar

(Verse 3)
Dias incríveis a caminhar
Com vinho, gôndolas e noites ao luar
Mas por escolha do destino cruel
Nem seu contato eu consegui salvar

(Interlude) 
Num mundo feito de esquinas
E passos apressados
Dois corações tocados pelo acaso agora se perdem no vazio da imensidão
Mas o destino não grita
Ele vira a página com calmaria
Em algum silêncio escondido
Um doce encontro ainda espera florescer...

(Chorus 2)
São lembranças inegáveis de um encontro entre duas almas
Como uma flor crescendo ao sol que o destino arrancou
Mas no fim da jornada encantada
Quando a tristeza já me alcançava
Lá no aeroporto a mágica brilhou
Eu te vi de novo, o tempo parou...

(Outro)
Era o destino dizendo oi
Dando ao amor mais uma chance
A viagem foi bela e você coloriu minha vida com sua aquarela
Com sua aquarela
Sua aquarela revela o amor. 

                          ==== Lyrics in English ====

(Verse 1)
The long-awaited trip arrived
And a great dream came true
An enchanted place, Venice, city of love
Sparkle in the eyes, everything here hypnotized

(Verse 2)
Between the walks, everything was ideal
Until something went wrong
A light wind blew slowly
And my hat began to fly

(Chorus)
I saw you there, so beautiful
Overjoyed up my watercolor
Loose laughter, sea-like eyes
And the whole world stopped to watch

(Verse 3)
Incredible days to walk
With wine, gondolas, and moonlit nights
But by the choice of cruel fate
I couldn't even save your phone number

(Interlude)
In a world made of corners
Hurried steps
Two hearts touched by chance now get lost in the emptiness of immensity
But fate doesn't shout
It turns the page calmly
In some hidden silence
A sweet encounter still waits to blossom...

(Chorus) 2)
They are undeniable memories of a meeting between two souls
Like a flower growing in the sun that fate plucked
But at the end of the enchanted journey
When sadness had already reached me
There at the airport the magical glow
I saw you again, time stood still...

(Outro)
It was fate saying hello
Giving love another chance
The journey was beautiful and you colored my life with your watercolor
With your watercolor
Your watercolor reveals the love.

Uli - Aquarela - Um Encontro em Veneza (Collab with Dani) With English Translation (in description)

A raw, stripped-down piano ballad that hits deep. Powerful vocals, haunting atmosphere — for anyone who’s ever felt like they’re barely holding it together. Think Adele meets Billie Eilish in a midnight breakdown. Perfect for late-night feels, heartbreak, or just letting go

"The Short Story's Ending" by The Dark Messiahs

A slow, smoke-drenched descent into noir jazz minimalism. Sticks Thompson’s restrained percussion and Sonny Rhodes’ sparse piano set a hushed, uneasy mood, while Guy Stansfield’s clarinet and Blue Six’s trumpet emerge in ghostly bursts—echoes in the darkness. Wilt Flowers anchors the piece with deep, deliberate bass, giving the track a sense of weight and finality.

An evocative closing statement—empty streets, last drinks, and nothing left to say.
