Almost musical theatre style pop song. Written from a viewpoint of a friend watching a friend get strung along by a married guy, but she hasn’t worked that out yet.

She’s Holding Out For Him

A dear friend asked me if I wanted to set one of his poems to music. Well, I did. And this is what came out of it...

The title of the poem is “Augenblick”, which means "moment", but literally “blink of an eye”.

Augenblick (by Hans H. Hiebel)

Tender day
The eye-lid of the night
Has opened
Time
Is twinkling at us
And because everything is divided
And must be divided
We twinkle back
And death
Closes the lid


Composition, vocal, guitar and piano by Joliz.

The track wouldn't be the same without Robert S. Dean... Thank you!


Augenblick

■概要(overview)
自分の中の夏をイメージしました。
It was inspired by the summer inside me.

■歌詞
過ごした夏の数
まどろみの岸辺で
さざ波の記憶を
たどっているような気分
それは潮の綾

太陽を吸い込んだ
波の揺らめきが
瞼の裏で
揺れているずっと
寄せて返す幻

誰かが名前を呼んでいて
僕は浮かんでいるだけなのさ
時間が海に溶けはじめたころに
夏の風が冷たく感じて岸に向かった


モノクロームの夏
音の無い岸辺で
光の名残に
触れていたいような気分
夜が近い

波間に溶けていった
夏の幻が
瞼の裏で
僕を呼んでいる
その音で目を覚ます

誰かが波間に石を投げて  
小さな輪が広がっていった  
光と影をまといながら  
ちゃぷ　という音が胸に残った

いつまでもここにいたいな
浮かんでいたいよな
名前も忘れてしまったような
誰かに会いたいような

■Lyrics(google translate)
The number of summers I've spent
On the shore of my slumber
I feel like I'm tracing the memories of the ripples
It's the tides
The swaying of the waves that absorbed the sun
Swaying behind my eyelids
An illusion that keeps on ebbing and flowing
Someone is calling my name
I'm just floating
When time started to melt into the sea
The summer wind felt cold so I headed for the shore
Monochrome summer
On the silent shore
I feel like I want to touch the vestiges of light
Night is approaching
The illusion of summer that melted into the waves
I'm calling to me behind my eyelids
That sound wakes me up
Someone threw a stone into the waves
A small circle spread
Clad in light and shadow
The sound of splashing remained in my heart
I want to stay here forever
I want to float
I feel like I've forgotten my name
I want to meet someone

Mendelssohn Op. 53. N0 1 (performer Ad van Nederpelt)

This track was inspired by "Sir Gawain and the Green Knight" as translated by Simon Armitage. There are beautifully written passages describing Gawain's lonely journey through the a wintry northern landscape:
"...clouds shed their cargo of crystallised rain which froze as it fell to the frost-glazed earth. With nerves frozen numb he napped in his armour; bivouacked in the blackness amongst bare rocks where melt-water streamed from the snow-capped summits and high overhead hung chandeliers of ice."

Lyrics (Can't Shut It Down)

Walking in the city, hearing music on the street,
I can feel the beat under my feet,
Music is flowing away, I like the style that I hear,
It gives me a good vibration in my ear.

Music goes to my heart, and I feel so good
Beat from the street makes me feel higher
The sound from the band, drive me crazy,
I can tell you now, I'm not, just a liar.

On stage, music playing, and I hear good sound
I can't stop stamping the beat with my feet,
I can't hold back anymore, and can't shut it down
Music is flowing away here on the street.

Music goes to my heart and I....

Can´t Shut It Down

A track from the concept album Oracles Oath did a few years ago 'The Last Castle'. 

Cold Words

world changer

ruhelos

Oh my lord I think i'm gonna die by the sword, I fear I fear I fear.
My lord I think I'm gonna die by the sword, my lord.
"Don't you fear, you just live by the word, my son, don't fear, light of the lord! You can live by the might of the word."

Oh MichaEl, help me fight through the world, I think I'm gonna get lost in the herd. Michael help me fight through the world...
"No, my brother, you are safe where you are, you have all the might in the world. You can wield the sword of the light of the word!"

The Light Of The Word

The genre of this song, "Luminous Flight," is symphonic metal. The tempo of the song is 188, and the worldview of this song is expressed mainly through distorted guitar and fast-paced drumming. The lyrics are all in English (I'm not good at English, but I tried). 


The lyrics are as follows:

Lightstorm, 
blaze through the endless sky

Amid the chaos of this world,
I cast away the doubts within my soul.
In this fleeting, 
burning moment, I live—
No matter what may rise before me.

Within the endless flow of time,
All hopes and despairs, dreams and nightmares entwine.
And I have always known this truth,
I’ve always known it deep inside.

I’ll never lose the strength within 
my soul, 
I’ll shine beyond the reach of every star.
In harmony with the cosmos vast 
and bright, I place my faith
in the Luminous Flight

Lightstorm, blaze through the endless sky
Carry my soul beyond the night
Until the shadows fade away,
And the world is crowned in light eternal

Restore my heart that once was lost,
Revive the dreams that time has torn,
Let not this story fade to silence—
Carry it ever on


I hope this song reaches your heart. 
Thank you so much for listening.

This is an original track.
I recorded the guitar, bass, piano and drums myself. Some elements like certain string parts, ambient sounds, and subtle adjustments were programmed using MIDI — although some of the string sounds were also played and recorded using an electric piano.
This track features vocals by Koharu Rikka (小春六花), a singing voice synthesizer.
