The song celebrates music as a profound unifying force that transcends societal divisions, urban isolation, and cultural differences, acting like a shared "pulse" that connects people on a deep, emotional level. It contrasts the chaos of a fragmented world—filled with blurred truths, shouting voices, and rigid walls—with the harmonious power of rhythms and beats that stitch hearts together, turning strangers into a collective. Ultimately, it posits music as a pathway to peace and healing, where listening closely reignites human connection, dissolves barriers, and reminds us of our common humanity.

The Pulse That Makes Us One

Winnipeg composer, retired from the farm, still chasing meaning in melody. My work lives where TV cues meet YouTube soundscapes, with a few albums in between. Built in Mixcraft Pro, fuelled by late-night coffee, stubborn curiosity, and a Stoic’s sense of timing. Also writing on politics, history, and philosophy, because sound isn’t my only instrument.
