This one is my take on a traditional Columbus Day song — a bright, celebratory anthem that focuses only on Columbus’s journey and the pride many still feel in honoring his role in history. It’s festive, march-like, and designed to feel like something you’d hear at a parade, with flags waving and music filling the air. While my other songs address the controversy and honor Indigenous voices, this one is purely about heritage and history as it’s traditionally been celebrated.


LYRICS: 

[Verse 1]
On the morning tide, the sails were high,
Three ships set out ‘neath the endless sky.
Dreams of a world beyond the blue,
Columbus led, and the journey grew. 

[Pre-Chorus]
With courage burning bright,
Guided by the stars at night. 

[Chorus]
Columbus Day, we sing this song,
A journey bold that still lives on.
From ocean wide to shining bay,
We celebrate Columbus Day. 

[Verse 2]
Through storms and seas, the voyage pressed,
A sailor’s heart put to the test.
New horizons came in view,
The promise of a world brand new. 

[Pre-Chorus]
With courage burning bright,
Guided by the stars at night. 

[Chorus]
Columbus Day, we sing this song,
A journey bold that still lives on.
From ocean wide to shining bay,
We celebrate Columbus Day. 

[Verse 3]
The parades march proud, the flags held high,
Music and voices fill the sky.
Heritage honored, stories told,
A holiday cherished, brave and bold. 

[Bridge]
Raise the sails, the voyage starts,
A legacy that stirs our hearts.
On this day, the people say,
We honor proud Columbus Day. 

[Chorus]
Columbus Day, we sing this song,
A journey bold that still lives on.
From ocean wide to shining bay,
We celebrate Columbus Day. 

[Chorus]
Columbus Day, we sing this song,
A journey bold that still lives on.
From ocean wide to shining bay,
We celebrate Columbus Day. 

[Chorus]
Columbus Day, we sing this song,
A journey bold that still lives on.
From ocean wide to shining bay,
We celebrate Columbus Day. 

[Outro]
With sails of hope and hearts so free,
We honor this day in history

Sailing Into History (Columbus Day)

Songwriting has been a lifelong passion for me, dating back to elementary school when I first began crafting stories, poems, and eventually lyrics. As a former drummer in various bands, I always relied on others to bring my words to life musically. However, after a long hiatus from drumming, I decided to take the leap and learn to compose music to accompany my lyrics. Through classes and dedication, I've embarked on a new journey, breathing fresh life into old lyrics and penning new ones. You'll find a mix of older and newer works here. Especially for some of the lyrics. 

Music has been a part of me for as long as I can remember. One of my earliest memories is being completely entranced by 'The Little Drummer Boy' as a very young child. There was something about the rhythm and the melody that just captivated me. I must have played it a thousand times, wearing the record out, and from that moment on, I was hooked. I knew I wanted to be a drummer and to create that magic for others. 

But I was too young then, and of course, I couldn't afford a drum set just yet. So, I turned to writing as a way to express myself. As I mentioned above, I started with stories, then poems, and eventually, lyrics. I found that writing was not only a way to tap into my creativity, but also a way to process my emotions and experiences. 

As I grew older, my love for music only deepened. I realized that music has this incredible power to transport us to different times and places, to evoke emotions and memories that we thought were long forgotten. It's a universal language that can bring people together like nothing else can. 

For me, writing lyrics is a cathartic experience. It's a way for me to tap into my emotions, to process the world around me, and to create something that I hope will resonate with others. And when I hear my words come to life in a song, it's truly magical. It's a feeling that never gets old, and it's what keeps me coming back to music time and time again. 

I love many genres of music and artists of many genres. And if you listen to some of my songs, you will find that I like to make songs of different genres as well as mix different genres into each song. One of my all-time favorite bands is Evanescence, and I have made a lot of songs where I have tried my best to emulate that sound. 

Now, I have recently started experimenting with new sounds. I never heard of glitch beats before I took music classes, and now I'm fascinated with the sound, so I have been experimenting with glitch beats recently. 

I hope you enjoy some of my songs. And thanks so much to everyone who has been listening so far. I truly appreciate it. I welcome constructive feedback to help me grow as an artist, and I appreciate your support. ❤️

BTW if you follow me, I will ALWAYS follow back. If I like your music, I will follow you, but if you don't follow me back within a week or so I will probably unfollow. The same goes for when I see someone listening to my music, I WILL follow, however, if they don't follow me back within a week or so, I'll unfollow, because I'm at my limit of follows and I want to follow back everyone who follows me. Did not know that SoundCloud limits us to following only 2000. 😢

VickStiX's Artist Manifesto
*******************

I am the static between truth and noise.
A pulse that cracks the silence open.
When the world forgets its conscience,
I remind it — one beat, one lyric, one spark.

I don’t shout to divide; I sing to awaken.
I don’t chase fame; I chase clarity.
My art is not a weapon — it’s a flare in the dark.
A signal to every soul that still believes in better.

Let the trolls rage, let the cowards hide.
They can’t drown out a voice that’s tuned to truth.
I will paint their lies in sound and light
until justice has a melody again.

Because protest is not anger — it’s hope with a megaphone.
And I was born to be loud.

🎶 VickStiX — Truth. Rhythm. Revolution.












💖✨ Untiring Tiger, I started to tell my Chronicles in 2014, here on Soundcloud, evolving into different musical spheres (Deep House /// Chillout/Ambient/Progressive Trance  /// Trance Upbeat /// Techno) until I started to go Downtempo in 2015, creating the genre I called Ethno Deep, unable to tag properly my mixes. I don't "play" downtempo, I create it on my decks. A part of me lives here, telling and sharing ShAnkAri's Chronicles, flowing mystic... 🙏🏽🎵💜✨

Today, I remix Hip-Hop/Rap//Pop adding my Downtempo touch : callin' it #Rapnotech and crafting dj mixes with them (seed has been sowed, some copycats already popped out, that's how the story goes)
1/ No profit done, except if we officially collab and you wanna put the remix on sale. No monetized account. 
2/ I give credits : composers come first ; whatever I do is an echo and a tribute to their creativity.
(You want me to put smthg down, please message me, will do ! 😉🤝 )

I make music everyday, from 2 to 10am, home. When it's a mix, it's a gingerly curated acoustic experience, followed with its meticulously crafted visual storytelling, composed of anonymous artworks that I collect and that you can watch on my YouTube channel...

✨✨✨

Next to what, I'm an astrologer, don't hesitate to message me, astrology being the single key to understand what Reality is, and how it works. 

The highest degree of consciousness one can reach inside Reality is to know that what is called Consciousness is actually fully driven by the stars. Mind is the Witness of the Experience that is a lifetime.  

"Know yourself" means : go to an astrologer and let them read your Birth Sky, that contains your Settings, and the Script of this path in Time that you call your Life. It's your monad's Karma. Astrologer has nothing else to propose. Since there's nothing else to get. 

Welcome with any question 👐🏽☸️💜🎵✨


Namaste, Anne-Aude B. aka ShAnkAri 🌿🌺🎨🎵💜🍃
