Track inspired by a Haiku from Murakami Kijo [1865-1938]
'Although there is the road,
The child walks
In the snow.'

Winter Haiku 'Although there is the road.'

The song is about finding hope strength ,hope and love .also appreciating growth within ourselves meditating on mutual understanding failures and succeses in life. above all meditation is key.

As Clouds Go Floating By

it's sad, so many wishes won't come true 
so sad when all of them are you
so sad its over, we never said good-bye
so sad it's under the same old dirty sky
as clouds go floating by
  
I'm here because it happens here
and there, I'm there to disappear
too bad the stars will not come out to shine
counting the minutes to killing time
a midsummer night's dream of mine

'give all I own to once repeat the past
learned and grown I should've known it couldn't last
how it all flew by so fast!

it seems I have to do this
damnation

and quite contrary, you'll spare the sugarcane
worldly and weary, now bring on the, 
bring on the, bring on the rain!

who said it's over we never said good-bye
who said it's under the same old funky sky
there's something in my eye

as clouds go floating by

As Clouds Go Floating By

S.T.O.M.P.

Pains of the day take more time to fade away,
Fear for a worried tomorrow.
Feel no relief in the circling of a leaf,
Thick cloud and fog hide the meadow.
What can be done that will turn it all around?   
How can the daylight be found?
Is it a choice that the mind repeats this voice, 
Pulling it under the ground?

Look it square in the eye, see the real, see the lie,
With a friend who’ll attend to your cry, 
You can fill in the hole with the music of the soul,
And the calm at your core that makes you whole.

They’re far away and the tension fills your day
Waiting to hear things are OK.
Stare at the phone, feeling helpless and alone,
Seeing disaster fully grown.
Step back and see that it’s all a fantasy,    
Tricks of the mind most of the time,
You can be sure that the truth will be the cure,
Guiding you back to secure.

Look it square in the eye, see the real, see the lie,
With a friend who’ll attend to your cry, 
You can fill in the hole with the music of the soul,
And the calm at your core that makes you whole.

Look it square in the eye, see the real, see the lie,
With a friend who’ll attend to your cry, 
You can fill in the hole with the music of the soul,
And the calm at your core that makes you whole.

Square In The Eye

Skulpted Tune

A song of understanding and coming to terms, that the person you thought was "the one," wasn't, and living with the destruction that follows a toxic relationship.

HATE THE WAY

Hey! I think that my skill level has grown a little and I dare to offer you my new composition! Initially it was an instrumental version, but after a little thought, I decided to add vocals. =)

By the way, if anyone is interested, I recently made a video for one of my compositions! You can watch the video here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LH_E4FtwkWI&t=2s&ab_channel=SetofSounds

Virtual (Vocal Version)

My new song ‘Under the Oak’; a very slow, dreamy ballad with minimal production. I made this with just two instruments, my guitar and my 80s keyboard. I have always loved soft, slow jazz beats with brushes and I was able to find one online that I have used here too. I wanted this song to be slow and soft because it is really an ode to nature. I always think that humans often make the mistake of thinking that we are separate from nature when we are actually part of it and we need to make time to appreciate that. Let’s face it, the world is a lot sometimes and this song is about those moments when you find peace in doing something as simple as sitting under an oak tree. Also, I couldn’t get rid of those slight scratchy noises for the life of me, I hope they are not too annoying. I have no training in music production so please forgive haha XD.

Lyrics;
Under the oak
That’s where I go
When I feel alone
And harken the soul
That gently unfolds
Upon its green throne

Under the oak
Yeah, under the oak

Under the oak
Where nothing’s untold
There’s tales of long, long ago
Like how those old folk
By fire and smoke
Would sing, dance and joke

Under the oak
Yeah, under the oak 

Oh, life is Heaven
Oh, when I’m sitting

Under the oak
That’s where I go
When I feel alone
And harken the soul
That gently unfolds
Mounted on its green throne

Under the oak
Yeah, under the oak 

Oh, life is Heaven
Oh, when I’m sitting

Under the oak
Yeah, under the oak
Under the oak
Yeah, under the oak

Under The Oak

Say farewell

Clutching at the coattails of gothic folk, Rosa Lavenne delivers a dreamy sound with melancholic lyricism. Heavy on reverbed synths, as well as the folk traditions of fingerstyle guitar and melodic harmonies, mean that Rosa stands at the crossroads between tradition and modernism. The intricate fingerstyle guitar and natural vibrato of Joan Baez combined with the ethereal sadness and dreampop inclinations of Marissa Nadler is one way to describe the sound of Rosa Lavenne. Under the influence of the acoustic masters such as Leonard Cohen, Townes Van Zandt, Sandy Denny and Bob Dylan, Rosa Lavenne adds her unique twist on folk pop melancholia. 

Rosa has been played multiple times on national radio (BBC Wales) and has been featured in the British folk magazine Folk Radio UK. She has been compared to folk greats such as Joni Mitchell, Stevie Nicks and Sandy Denny. 

It is important to Rosa that her art is entirely her own which is why she writes, records and produces all the sounds entirely herself. She frequently sings about the loneliness and hopelessness of youth as well as heartbreak, love loss and a longing to return to the past. Like herself, Rosa’s music is introspective, pensive and, at times, pretty gothic. She hopes listeners will come and explore this world with her.
