A Christmas story you can feel — overflowing with joy, worship, and the wonder of Jesus’ birth. ✨🎄👑
Bethlehem Born is a two-part, 25-song original Christmas album blending high-energy celebration, heartfelt worship, and powerful storytelling rooted in the miracle of the manger.

SATDAK brings a fresh, anointed voice to the season — fusing southern gospel, country warmth, worship reverence, and rock-driven joy into a soundtrack that captures the full emotional and spiritual depth of Christmas.

From toe-tapping celebration like “The Light Has Come,” to the tender reverence of “The Name the Angels Knew,” to the tear-filled storytelling of “The Manger and the Throne” and “Glory in the Straw,” every song carries the timeless awe of that holy night. 🎶✨

This double album is more than Christmas music — it’s a worship encounter, pointing every heart back to the One who stepped into a broken world as a baby, lived as a servant, died as a Savior, and reigns as King. 👑🔥

If you love Christmas worship, this album will feel like home.
If you need hope, this album will lift your spirit.
If you want to celebrate Jesus, this album will take you straight to Bethlehem. 🎄🙏✨

The Road to Bethlehem

20 - The Road to Bethlehem

Missing Without You

[Verse 1]
Met you on a slow blue morning
sunlight caught on your hair—
you laughed like you already knew me
and something in me shifted quiet

We walked past houses half-awake
your fingers brushing mine—
close enough to spark
but not enough to start us not yet

[Pre-Chorus]
Funny how the small things stay—
your voice the warmth
the way you said my name
like it meant something more

[Chorus]
Cause you’re the part of me
I didn’t know was missing—
the rhythm in the mess
the calm when all is spinning

Every time you go
I feel the space you leave—
it’s like the world leans sideways
tilted—missing without you

[Verse 2]
You showed up on my hardest days
hands in your pockets eyes soft—
you stayed until my breathing settled
until the walls I kept got tired

And I didn’t say it
but you knew—
the way my shoulders dropped
the way my voice found its way to you


[Pre-Chorus]
It’s wild how your silence speaks—
your presence filling
every space I thought was empty
holding what I couldn’t hold alone

[Chorus]
Cause you’re the part of me
I didn’t know was missing—
the rhythm in the mess
the calm when all is spinning

Every time you go
I feel the space you leave—
like the room forgets its center
I’m missing without you

[Bridge]
And if you ever wander
if you ever doubt—
I’ll keep a light on
I’ll say it out loud

You’re the piece that fits
the place I land—
come back home
and I’ll take your hand

[Final Chorus]
Cause you’re the part of me
I didn’t know was missing—
the pulse I follow through the dark
the truth I keep believing
Anywhere you walk
I’m already halfway there—
cause the world stays brighter
when you’re right here
I’m missing without you—
only whole when I’m with you

Missing Without You

Shadows And Stories

“Between Ice and Fire / میانِ یَخ و آتَش” is a cross-cultural fusion that melts contrasts into music —
a sound where Nu-Disco groove, Ambient emotion, and Persian Pop soul collide under shimmering synths and Middle Eastern textures.

The track opens with a sweeping synth-pluck melodic intro, gliding through gentle electric guitar and warm pads and minor-key arpeggios, setting the tone for a journey suspended between two extremes: the cold distance of longing and the burning intensity of desire. As the rhythm unfolds, disco basslines, tight electronic drums, and subtle Persian instruments like baglama, darbuka, and ney intertwine, creating a vivid landscape that blends East and West.

Persian vocals carrying the emotional tension of the title — a love story that exists on the boundary where warmth and frost fight to coexist. The chorus blooms with cinematic energy, while chopped and re-pitched vocal fragments echo through the beat like memories breaking apart in slow motion.

“Between Ice and Fire / میانِ یَخ و آتَش” is a dance-floor dreamscape:
melancholic yet uplifting, nostalgic yet modern — a song where passion survives even in the coldest night.

Between Ice and Fire

The Count of Monte Cristo, escapes, earns a fortune then destroys the lives of the people who betrayed him. You meet revenge in Hamlet, in Moby Dick and the film Carrie, as she enacts revenge on her cruel class mates. The Reign of Terror in the French revolution was all about revenge, as was the murder of Franz Ferdinand, which then triggered WW1.We come across it in in Kill Bill, The Gladiator, The Revenant and John Wick. Then of course there is Johnny Depp v  Amber Heard, songs from Talyor Swift about her ex-lovers and Donald Trump in his legal battles. Then there is the Jullian Assange Wiki leaks case, and numerous mass killings and murders. Revenge can be via meticulous planning or blind rage. It can be one act or a series of acts . There is also a blurred line between justice        ( liker Charles Bronson and Equalizer films) and a personal vendetta. 
The core motives for revenge are restoring justice and balance. That is is to ‘even the score’
or ‘ an eye for an eye’. It allows you to reclaim power and control, if you have been humiliated  or betrayed. It asserts identity and acts as a deterrent i.e. ’ this is what happens if you double cross me.’ Finally, there is a quest for emotional release i.e. getting even will bringing peace. Typically, these emotions are short lived, sometimes corrosive and replaced by negative vies e.g. guilt or shame or anxiety. It also chains you to the perpetrator for a long time.
Of course, revenge is not the only action you can take. You can declare your own part in the betrayal and walk away from it, to start again elsewhere and build a better life. It starts with self preservation before hopefully achieving some piece of mind. Revenge is an emotional debt that you pay the interest on every day. I like that I wish I had written that
This a revenge song. The man knows his wife has been unfaithful but he is in no mood to discuss it or even contemplate ‘’trying again’. He knows now that all he wants is revenge. He sings ,’ I just want revenge; I know that now. I just gotta work out, when and how. Not interested in me or the facts. She's trying to cover up her tracks’
He has previously made some attempt to reconcile but to no avail, He sings ‘’ Unavailable, cold and so distant. It's not right, not for a moment. I tried to ignite the spark with affection. Lucky if she even looks in my direction’
We then learn more about this doomed relationship, ‘Seen dates with guys on her phone
Blames it on me, on stress at home. I was sure, it’s what I knew deep down. Now home, after seeing a man in town’ So the cause of the problem seems to be stress at home and her new liaison. Well guess what, she is going to have more stress than she dreamed off when they go their separate ways. Sounds like he is relieved to bring everything out into the open when he sings, ‘Relieved not to have to sneak around. What I always suspected, beforehand. The heartbreak is wearing me out. Her betrayal, leaves me in no doubt’
On the other hand, she does not seem to feeling guilty at all and seems to have discussed it and even got approval from her family to call it a day. A verse in the song says  ‘But she’s not feeling guilty about me. What her family think, will be the key’ It turns out she also laughed at him when he attempted to remind her of happier times, i.e. ‘Gave her an old wedding photograph. I'm hurt; but does she need to laugh?’ His coping mechanism is to hit the bottle , He sings , ‘To fill the gap, may have turned to drink’. In the end he asks for a divorce in her birthday card ( thats novel), ‘I’ll ask for a divorce in her birthday card.A ten-year marriage lost, gonna be hard’. Is that the revenge he wanted or is there more ?

Winter Reflection

The Turning of the Wheel 

And when the words 
Were spoken
The heavens trembled
The silence broken

Earth and sky 
Rejoiced as one
For the Wheel of 
Dhamma had been spun

The devas sang in 
A thousand tongues
The Blessed One 
Has begun

At Sarnath’s plain 
The truth was said
The path to life 
Beyond the dead

No power of god 
Or demon dire
Can halt this Wheel 
Or still its fire

And in the heart 
Of Kondañña bright
The dawn of truth 
Arose that night

He saw with wisdom
Clear and wide
All things that arise 
Shall also subside
