🎵 “Sorrow (Печаль)” —English lyrical adaptation inspired by “Печаль” by Кино - https://soundcloud.com/andrew-nakal/v-tsoy-i-gr-kino-pechal?in=ekaterina-leary/sets/kino&si=7adaad808f6c419e91f4cc3879bed86b&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing

Verse 1
The city sleeps beneath the rain,
its heart still beats, but not the same.
The lights are ghosts of what we knew,
I walk alone — the world is blue.

Chorus
Sorrow comes and never leaves,
it hums beneath the breath I breathe.
Not my enemy, not my friend —
just a shadow that won’t end.

Verse 2
Faces fade like paper flames,
no one remembers names.
But in the silence, soft and wide,
I find a peace I cannot hide.

Bridge
Maybe pain’s just love that stayed too long,
a quiet echo of a broken song.

Final Chorus
Sorrow walks where I belong,
a silent rhythm, cold but strong.
Not my cage, not my chain —
just my heart that learned the rain.

Boot up and take a drive down "64K Road." This album is a high-octane chiptune journey through pixelated landscapes and forgotten digital highways. Powered by the iconic sounds of vintage computers and game consoles, each track is a burst of pure 8-bit energy and heartfelt nostalgia.

Hold me tight

Beneath the Bodhi Tree

We shall not rise until we know
Come noble truths
Salvage this show
Why do we suffer?
Why do we crave?
Say,
Cessation of desire to meet light old age

Prove pure path
The right eight show way
Good vision
Good thought
Good speech
Good day
Good livelyhood
Effort
Mindfulness and action
Weaved wisdom concentrated
Content has traction

To Dukkha debonair
Satisfied with real
Ruse rooted Samudaya
You suffer thirst by feel
Nirvana, be known
Nirodha find light
From Mārga
Our eight fold path meant right

Born beneath the Bodhi tree
Cyclic Samsāra sits
Transcience for fear food free
Karmic Dharma fits
Not torn with our time
Minded body synced
Not shocked
Transcendence through rhyme
Be harmonic miner clocked

We shall not rise until we know
Come noble truths
Salvage this show
Why do we suffer?
Why do we crave?
Say,
Cessation of desire to meet light old age

I don't quite believe in reincarnation of a single spirit although the discovery of DNA in a way sheds a bit of light on it being possible at least in potential code as traits that are passed on. They are either honed and retained or lost through long term positive or negative behavior and discernment of honest or dishonest action from our beings. Epigenetics looks to be starting to show that nurture, particulariy early in life actually enables and disables chemical signals in our genes. This has been shown in rats by a mother that licks her offspring vs a mother that doesn't and the different effects on those baby rats growing up and those scientists believe that translates to humans although they can't stick us in labs to prove it yet. So it looks like nurture may end up holding more influence then early geneticists told us and less is set in stone then we had previously thought. Epigenetics is a young science so it's difficult to make a solid reality from is so far but it does appear to have huge relevancy with our tendencies throughout life and towards addiction and habits. 

Whether we have a spirit that inhabits a body and fully comes back I'm not sure we will ever know that but I guess elements of past spirits and all past life does exist in our code at some level.

This has a lot more potential to bear fruit with our world of knowledge of course because we can actually teach ourselves what other humans think and have thought and what they did with their lives and make our own version of those truths based on our unique life experience.

This track is paying homage to Buddha

Buddha, as far as I am aware is one of the rare old teachers who said go find yourself and the power is inside you and around us. We generally escape the reality of ourselves with desires and indulgence in materialism but have the ability to find our true spiritual selves with discipline and an honest lifestyle. His main realisation was, we suffer, like it or not and his teachings allow us to not amplify that suffering with cravings or self harm but become one with it via a balanced approach  ⚖️  Re-living or re experiencing feelings from the difficult parts of our lives so they don't become a controlling factor in how we react to any situation seems to be central to finding that zen place where we can respond rationally to any situation no matter how trivial or significant. The reason I mention epigenetics and early life is a few scholars seem to allude to a lot of our problematic traits and strengths being born from trauma or solid nurture early in life and are not something we would usually medically consider when contemplating our own shadow searching for that oneness in ourselves...

So in that light I think rebirthing thought in our heads may actually be quite important to deal with any grief from our experience so it doesn't manifest itself as physical ailment from the hidden stress it causes us.

A New track I am experimenting with with at the moment

Lost in the Wobble

I am retired and have taken up music again (after 60 years since I last played the classical piano)for my pleasure. It is great to redo the old classics with the modern sounds and electronic instruments of today. I

What an awesome experience and way to bring music to the world together with likeminded friends-thank you all.
