I’m trapped in this endless fight
Against a foe that steals my light
Every breath a struggle, every day a war
My body weakened, my spirit sore

Chasing shadows, grasping at air,
Alone in this battle, drowning in despair
Invisible enemy, unseen and cruel
I’m lost in this sickness, a merciless duel

But I’ll keep on fighting, though the end is unclear
Through the pain and tears, I’ll persevere

Doctors and treatments, hopes rise and fall
But the sickness persists, it won’t heed the call
Friends offer comfort, but the struggle is mine
I walk this path alone, under a darkening sky

Whispered prayers, a faint glimmer of light
Holding onto hope, with all my might

Invisible enemy, unseen and cruel
I’m lost in this sickness, a merciless duel
But I’ll keep on fighting, though the end is unclear
Through the pain and tears, I’ll persevere

Invisible enemy, unseen and cruel
I’m lost in this sickness, a merciless duel
But I’ll keep on fighting, though the end is unclear
Through the pain and tears, I’ll persevere

“Merciless Duel” is a powerful and moving testament to my resilience and determination in the face of chronic illness. This song vividly captures the emotional and spiritual toll of living with lupus, or any other chronic condition, and I believe it might become an anthem for anyone who has faced similar struggles.

This song needed to tell a compelling story, one that delves into the deepest aspects of my experience. I share my personal battle with lupus, striving to be as authentic as possible to make this story relatable. The lyrics open a window into the raw reality of living with an invisible enemy. This disease silently erodes strength and spirit. The song conveys the frustration, isolation, and uncertainty that come with fighting chronic illness. Each line echoes the profound sense of battling something that others may not fully understand, encapsulating the daily war against an unseen foe.

Despite the overwhelming challenges, the song expresses a fierce determination to continue fighting. There is an unyielding resolve to hold onto hope, even when the path ahead is shrouded in darkness. The chorus embodies this duality—acknowledging the cruelty of the illness while declaring a commitment to persevere. An undercurrent of defiance runs through the lyrics, inspiring others not to be defined by their illness. I was encouraged to join a support group, but it wasn’t for me. I faced my pain and struggles every day and found validation in my own journey. I didn’t need to hear about more pain and struggles like mine. Instead, I chose to go out, have fun, and avoid the triggers that could land me back in the ER or, worse, in the hospital. I’ve always been a “Mr. Fixer,” and though I couldn’t fix this, I refused to let it break me.

I ensured the lyrics resonated with everyone fighting similar battles. My hope is that my story offers a sense of solidarity and connection, transforming ‘Merciless Duel’ from just a song into a powerful narrative of survival, resilience, and courage that can inspire and empower others.

“Merciless Duel” is a raw and poignant reflection of an unyielding battle that transcends the physical and delves deep into the spiritual and emotional realms. The song was born out of the harrowing and relentless struggle with lupus. This condition has woven itself into every fiber of my existence. The lyrics encapsulate the daily war fought against this autoimmune disease that robs strength, diminishes light, and casts shadows over even the brightest days. Each line of the song reflects the profound sense of fighting a battle that no one else can fully understand.

Despite the support of friends and the temporary comfort provided by treatments, the fight against lupus is an intensely personal one. It’s a merciless duel where the outcome remains uncertain, and the path ahead is often obscured by doubt and fear. Yet, within that darkness, there is a fierce determination to continue the fight, to hold onto hope with unyielding resolve. The chorus captures this duality—acknowledging the cruelty of the illness while also declaring a commitment to persevere. It’s a testament to the resilience of the human spirit, a reflection of the strength required to confront a battle that feels never-ending.

‘Merciless Duel’ is not just a song; it’s a narrative of survival, an anthem for anyone who has faced the crushing weight of chronic illness. It’s a reminder that even in the face of a relentless enemy, there is power in persistence, and that the fight, though merciless, is fought with the heart of a warrior. In every verse, there’s a refusal to be defined by illness, a determination to continue fighting, even when the odds seem insurmountable. The song is a piece of my journey, a chapter in the ongoing story of resilience, courage, and the unbreakable will to survive that I share with you.

“Ripple of Love” was born from a place of deep empathy and a desire to uplift those around me. Here I am, fighting my own battles, struggling against the weight of a chronic illness. Yet, it pained me to see my friends—many of whom were in less challenging situations—continually beat themselves up with negative self-talk. They would often tell themselves they weren’t good enough, that they were ugly, or that they were useless. It saddened me to hear these words and to witness them being stuck in the past rather than moving forward, getting out, and having fun. Life is too short to wait for some fantasy like Mr. Hunk-a-lunk to swoop out of the TV screen and sweep you off your feet.

I wanted to create something that would remind them—and everyone who listens—that the power to change, to love, and to live fully lies within us. ‘Ripple of Love’ is a call to awaken, to shake off those emotions that keep us trapped in a cycle of self-doubt and negativity. It’s about embracing the transformative power of self-love and allowing that love to radiate outwards, creating a ripple effect that touches everyone around us.

The lyrics invite you to feel the rhythm of life, to dance away the pain, fear, and doubt, and to let self-love be your guiding light. It’s about ‘vibrating higher ‘, which means elevating your thoughts and emotions to a more positive, loving level, ‘reaching for the skies ‘, which symbolizes aiming for your highest potential, and ‘releasing the old to welcome the new ‘, which is about letting go of negative patterns and beliefs to make room for positive change. The song encourages you to move your body, let your spirit fly, and allow love to shine through every part of you.

‘Ripple of Love’ is about turning up the music and feeling the beat of life, making the journey of self-love sweet and joyous. It’s a reminder that every ending is a brand new start, and that by connecting heart to heart, we can all experience the profound joy of giving and receiving love.

The repeated call to ‘vibrate high’ and ‘feel the love’ is not just about positive thinking—it’s about embodying love, letting it rise within you, and allowing it to flow through every interaction, every moment. To ‘vibrate high’ means to maintain positive, loving energy, and to ‘feel the love’ is to be open to giving and receiving love in all aspects of life. It’s about showing the world what love is truly about, not as a distant, abstract concept, but as a lived, daily practice.

This song is my message to my friends and everyone who needs to hear it: Love yourself first, let that love spread, and watch how it transforms not just your life, but the lives of those around you. It’s a comforting reminder that we don’t have to be perfect to be worthy of love, that even in our struggles, we can still shine brightly. Together, we can grow, connect, and create a ripple of love far beyond what we can imagine.

“Ripple of Love” is more than just a song; it’s an anthem for anyone who has ever felt stuck, for those who need a reminder that they are enough just as they are. It’s about celebrating life, love, and the endless possibilities that open up when we choose to love ourselves and let that love ripple into the world.

A hula vibe that’s beyond compare

Underneath the setting sun
Our journey has just begun

We’re dancing under the stars tonight
Feeling the magic, taking flight
Let’s get lost in this moment divine
As we levitate, feeling so alive

(Instrumental)

Acoustic guitar and electronic beats
Mixing melodies, creating heat
Flowers and Despacito in the air
A fusion of styles beyond compare

Chorus
We drum to the beat of our souls
A shamanic trance, reaching our goals

Drums and bass bring the vibe
Synthesizers soaring high
We’re grooving to the pop-funk sound
Levitating, we’re never coming down

Dance with me in the moonlight
Let’s keep this feeling burning bright
As the rhythm carries us away
In this hula vibe, forever we’ll stay

Oh… oh… 

Oh, the sun is shining bright, tropical breeze in the air
Let’s dance together tonight, forget all our cares
Our hips swaying to the rhythm, hearts beating as one
In this magical moment, under the moon and the sun

This music from all corners of the world
Uniting us all as it swirls

Ole, ole, lets dance away
To the beat that makes us sway
On this exotic night, everything feels right
As we move to the music, under the starlight
oh…

The tabla’s sweet rhythm, the Hawaiian ukulele’s strum
The bass thumping loud, making us all hum
We’ll never forget this night, this feeling so grand
Dancing together, hand in hand

Let the music take us high
As we reach for the sky

Ole, ole, lets dance away
To the beat that makes us sway
On this exotic night, everything feels right
As we move to the music, under the starlight

Ole, ole, lets dance away
To the beat that makes us sway
On this exotic night, everything feels right
As we move to the music, under the starlight

In the quiet corners of the morning light,
You tie my shoes, hold my hand so tight.
Through scraped knees and every tear I’ve cried,
You’re the steady rock by my side.
In crowds and chaos, your eyes always find me,
A beacon of love, so vast and so free.
Through life’s loud storms and silent sighs,
In your gaze, I’m still the prize.

They may not see the capes you wear,
Or the silent prayers you whisper in the air.
But in my world, you’re the king so wise,
And I’m still your princess in these grown-up eyes.
You taught me to stand, to fight, to dream,
In a world that’s tougher than it might seem.
Your wisdom, a map; your heart, my skies,
Guiding me where true treasure lies.

God in your steps, heaven in your smile,
You walk the earth, yet transcend every mile.
In every act, your grace never hides,
Mirroring the Father, divine and wise.

They may not see the capes you wear,
Or the silent prayers you whisper in the air.
But in my world, you’re the king so wise,
And I’m still your princess in these grown-up eyes.

Here’s to the hero, not all heroes wear a crown,
In the chapters of my life, your love is profound.
Forever your little girl, no goodbyes,
In my heart, Dad, I’m still your princess, soaring high.

Drawing from my Shamanic roots, this album is infused with intention and spiritual depth. While composing the beats, I immersed myself in the sounds of old instruments, like the ukulele, banjo, and tablas, adding a rich, authentic layer to the music. As a Shaman, the drumbeat holds a special place in my heart, and nothing beats the charm of creating music the old-fashioned way. I often found myself lost in the rhythm, forgetting everything else as the music guided me. This fusion of traditional and modern sounds creates a powerful and transformative listening experience.

Verse 1
In the stillness of the night, she whispers to the stars,
Painted with the scars of battles, both near and far.
An angel born to mend, yet bound by her own chains,
Amid the human cries, her own echo wanes.

Chorus 1
She’s seen a thousand suns, set on human tears,
Borne the weight of love, and the shadow of their fears.
“Oh, why must I stay, when I yearn just to go?
In this realm of pain, where my heart’s grown so cold?”

Chorus 2
With broken wings, she’s dreaming of the skies,
Yearning for the peace, where her spirit flies.
But they tell her, “Wait, your purpose isn’t done,”
In the dance of time, can’t fade like the sun.

Verse 2
Every smile she face, every hand she holds,
Hides the truth untold, of a sorrow so bold.
She heals, she loves, but inside she’s torn,
An angel in despair, in human form.

Pre-Chorus
Caught in a storm of endless giving,
She whispers to herself, is this really living?
How can she mend when she’s split at the seams?
How can she wake from this life of dreams?

Chorus
With broken wings, she’s dreaming of the skies,
Yearning for the peace, where her spirit flies.
But they tell her, “Wait, your purpose isn’t done,”
In the dance of time, can’t fade like the sun.

Bridge
Show me how to rise from the ashes of my fate,
Teach me to find joy before it’s all too late.
If I must stay, let me live, not just survive,
Help me remember why I was made alive.”

Outro
So with broken wings, she learns to fly anew,
Finding strength in trials, in the morning dew.
An angel she remains, with a task so divine,
Embracing her scars, letting her light shine.

‘Broken Wings’ is a deeply evocative song that captures the essence of resilience, struggle, and the quiet strength found in vulnerability. The song tells the story of an angelic being, burdened by the weight of her purpose, caught between the divine and the human experience. This angel, though born to heal and bring light to others, finds herself chained by her own suffering, her wings symbolically broken by the very pain she strives to alleviate in others. The song’s powerful lyrics and haunting melody resonate deeply with those who have experienced personal struggles and are open to spiritual and transformative experiences.

The lyrics of ‘Broken Wings’ resonate profoundly with the internal conflict faced by those who are natural healers, empaths, and caretakers. It’s a shared struggle, a reflection of the journey we all take, giving so much of ourselves to others that we often forget to nurture our own spirits. The angel in the song represents anyone who has ever felt the crushing weight of responsibility and the sorrow that can come from always being the one who heals while silently battling their own wounds. In this shared struggle, we find a sense of connection and understanding that can be deeply comforting.

This song is also deeply personal, mirroring my own battle. During my third near-death experience, I was ready to give up. But in that moment, I was told it wasn’t my time yet, that my purpose wasn’t done, and that I needed to ascend to the highest spiritual level. Back then, I didn’t understand my spirituality, and I asked what the point was in returning to a frail body. I needed something to motivate me, something that would ignite excitement and thrill in me. They told me I would meet a man, a dream premonition. When I was a child and a teenager, within six months, this encounter would push me toward my highest ascension faster.

When I returned, that part of my experience became hazy, and I later forgot about it. But something within me was driven to set myself free and start dating again, just for fun. I didn’t fully understand it until I met this man. The depth of emotion I felt was unlike anything I had ever experienced. Even the most balanced emotions, the most realistic and logical thoughts, couldn’t make sense of it until he left. I asked, “What the heck was that kind of emotion?” It made me question my previous relationships and dive deeper into myself. Signs were everywhere, urging me to embrace spirituality and reach an ascension that was beyond what I could have imagined.

The chorus, with its imagery of “broken wings” and “dreaming of the skies,” captures the longing for peace, freedom, and the return to a state of wholeness. It’s a powerful metaphor for the yearning to rise above hardships and find solace in a place where the spirit can soar unencumbered by the weight of life’s struggles.

Yet, despite the weariness and the sorrow, the song is ultimately about perseverance and rediscovery of purpose. The repeated message to ‘wait’ and that ‘your purpose isn’t done’ is a powerful encouragement. It speaks to the idea that even in the darkest times, there is still more to give, more to achieve, and more light to be found. It’s a reminder that our journey is not over, and there is always hope for a brighter future. This powerful message of perseverance can inspire and motivate us to keep pushing forward, even in the most challenging of times.

In the final verses, the angel’s journey takes a turn towards renewal. She learns to embrace her brokenness, finding strength in her trials and rediscovering her divine purpose. The imagery of “rising from the ashes” and “learning to fly anew” symbolizes a powerful rebirth, where the scars of the past become a testament to resilience rather than a source of sorrow.

‘Broken Wings’ is a song that speaks to the heart of anyone who has ever felt broken yet continued to push forward. It’s a powerful reminder that even in our most fragile moments, there is a light within, that can shine brightly, turning pain into purpose and wounds into wisdom. The song is a tribute to the enduring spirit and the transformative power of embracing one’s true self, scars and all. It’s a beacon of hope, a testament that our struggles can lead to profound transformation. This transformative power of the song can instill a sense of hope and optimism in us, reminding us that even in our darkest moments, there is always the potential for a brighter future.

Chasing shadows on the wall,
In the dark, I hear them call,
Lingering echoes of a broken past,
A haunting melody that forever lasts.

Don’t cry for me, lost in the night,
Halo of hope shines so bright,
Embracing the shadows, breaking the fall,
In the silence, we stand tall.

Chorus
Emotions tangled, hearts intertwined,
In the stillness, our love defined,
Whispers of dreams that never fade,
In the shadows, our vows are made.

We dance in the shadows, hand in hand,
Through the darkness, we’ll make our stand.

Don’t cry for me, lost in the night,
Halo of hope shines so bright,
Embracing the shadows, breaking the fall,
In the silence, we stand tall.

Don’t cry for me, lost in the night,
Halo of hope shines so bright,
Embracing the shadows, breaking the fall,
In the silence, we stand tall.

Emotions tangled, hearts intertwined,
In the stillness, our love defined,
In the silence, we stand tall, hmm.

Fade
We dance in the shadows, hand in hand,
Through the darkness, we’ll make our stand, hmm.
We dance in the shadows, hand in hand,
Through the darkness, we’ll make our stand, hmm. 

Don’t cry for me, lost in the night,
Halo of hope shines so bright,
Embracing the shadows, breaking the fall,
In the silence, we stand tall.
oh… oh… hmm… hmm…

“Shadows on the Wall” emerged from a deeply reflective and emotional place within me. It was inspired by the quiet battles we all face—those haunting echoes of the past that linger in the corners of our minds. This song delves into the shadows that follow us, the memories that refuse to fade, and the strength we find in embracing them rather than running away. It’s a theme that resonates with all of us, making this song a shared journey of resilience and hope.

The lyrics paint a picture of a journey through darkness, where the shadows on the wall represent the fears, regrets, and broken pieces of the past. Yet, instead of being consumed by these shadows, there is a conscious decision to stand tall in the silence, to find hope even in the night’s darkest moments. The “halo of hope” symbolizes that inner light shining brightly despite the surrounding darkness.

This song was inspired by those moments when the past feels like a haunting melody that never entirely fades away, a tune that echoes in the chambers of our hearts, reminding us of the pain and love that have shaped us. The tangled and intertwined emotions reflect the complexity of relationships, where love and pain often coexist. In the stillness, when all the noise of the outside world fades, our true feelings and connections come to the forefront, defining who we are and what we stand for.

“Shadows on the Wall” is about embracing the parts of ourselves that are often hidden in the shadows, the parts that are shaped by past experiences. It’s about accepting that these shadows are a part of us, and that they have their own unique beauty and strength. The repeated lines, “Don’t cry for me, lost in the night,” and “In the silence, we stand tall,” remind us that even in our darkest moments, there is resilience and a quiet determination to keep moving forward.

This song is a testament to the power of love and hope to break through even the most persistent darkness. It’s about the courage to face our inner shadows, to dance with them, and to find peace in the silence. “Shadows on the Wall” not only shares a personal journey, but also invites the listener to reflect on their own journey, find strength in their vulnerabilities, and stand tall in the face of whatever shadows they encounter.

Ultimately, this song is about transformation—how we can take the haunting memories of the past, the shadows that chase us, and turn them into something beautiful and empowering. It’s a journey through darkness that leads to light and love, with the understanding that our shadows are just as much a part of us as the light we carry.

(Verse 1)
In the quiet of the morning light,
You’ve been our anchor, firm and right.
Through the storms and sunny days,
You’ve shown us strength in countless ways.

(Pre-Chorus)

Teaching us how to be strong.
Your wisdom like a gentle breeze,

Your love remains, forever near.

(Outro)
On this day, we honor you,
For all the love and all you do.
You’re more than words could ever say,
Our hero, Dad, in every way.

“Hero in Our Hearts” is a deeply personal and heartfelt tribute inspired by the unwavering strength, love, and guidance of a father figure. This song celebrates the quiet, often unspoken ways in which fathers—and father figures—shape our lives and build the foundation upon which we stand.

The lyrics are a reflection of the immense gratitude felt for someone who has been a constant source of support and stability. In the quiet of the morning light, there’s a recognition of the anchor this person has been—firm and unwavering, always there to guide and protect, whether through life’s storms or its sunny days. This person has shown strength in countless ways, sometimes in the slightest, most ordinary moments that, in hindsight, mean the most.

The pre-chorus emphasizes the lessons learned and the wisdom imparted—like a gentle breeze, this guidance lifts us up and sets our hearts at ease. It’s a reminder that true strength often lies in the quiet acts of love and the wisdom shared not through words but through actions and presence.

The chorus powerfully declares the role this person plays in our lives: the hero in our hearts. It captures the essence of unconditional love and steadfast support that remains near, even in the face of life’s challenges. Whether in moments of joy or sorrow, this love is a constant, always there to hold us together when life begins to pull us apart.

The second verse paints a picture of safety and security, where the world feels manageable and dreams feel attainable, all because of the sacrifices made by this hero. These sacrifices are often silent and true, done without expectation of recognition, but they form the bedrock of our lives. This verse honors those quiet, selfless acts that profoundly impact who we become.

The bridge brings the song to an emotional peak, acknowledging this person’s profound influence on shaping who we are. Every hug and cheer is a reminder of their strength and the comfort they bring, even when they’re not physically present.

As the song closes with the outro, it’s clear that no words could ever fully capture the depth of gratitude and love felt. This person is more than just a father—they are a hero in every sense of the word, embodying everything the song seeks to express. “Hero in Our Hearts” is a tribute, not just to a father, but to anyone who has taken on the role of protector, guide, and unwavering support.

This song is a way of saying “thank you” for the love, sacrifices, and strength that have shaped us. It recognizes that, no matter where life takes us, this hero’s love remains forever near, guiding us, supporting us, and helping us to become the best versions of ourselves.

Wake up in the morning, sun is shining bright,
Got that beat inside me, gonna feel alright.
Put on my best shoes, step into the day,
Every moment’s golden, gonna find my way.

Feel the groove, feel the beat,
Let the rhythm guide your feet.
Confidence in every stride,
Positivity, let it ride.

Banjo’s strumming lively, drums are setting pace,
Every step’s a journey, life’s a happy race.
Bassline’s pumping power, filling up the air,
Dance through all your troubles, live without a care.

Feel the groove, feel the beat,
Let the rhythm guide your feet.
Confidence in every stride,
Positivity, let it ride.

When the world gets heavy, lift your spirits high,
Let the music take you, reach up to the sky.
Banjo’s hula magic, drums that never stop,
Feel the beat inside you, rise up to the top.

Feel the groove, feel the beat,
Let the rhythm guide your feet.
Confidence in every stride,
Positivity, let it ride.

Groove into the evening, smile with all your might,
Carry all this joy, straight into the night.
Every day’s a new beat, every moment’s gold,
Live your life in rhythm, let your story be told.

“Rhythm of Life” is a celebration of positivity, confidence, and the profound power of music to uplift the soul. As I crafted this dance track, my aim was to encapsulate the essence of awakening each day with a renewed sense of purpose and joy. The lyrics echo the belief that every moment is a chance to discover your rhythm, embrace the beat of life, and stride forward with confidence.

A Creative Journey Beyond Time

I got so immersed in the beat of “Rhythm of Life” that I completely lost track of time. What began as a 2:44-minute track evolved into an 11-minute jam session as I continued to play and experiment with the music. Initially, I intended to use the song as a five-minute exercise timer. Still, as I worked on it, I found cutting out so many good parts impossible. The result? A 6-minute version that felt just right. Sometimes, accidents lead to the most surprising and delightful outcomes!

Shamanic Influence and Intentions

As a Shaman, I find the rhythm and beat of life to be of special significance. “Rhythm of Life” is not just about physical movement; it’s about aligning your spirit with the natural flow of energy around you. The beats in this track are meant to resonate with your inner self, encouraging you to find your own groove and move through life with purpose and joy. The song embodies the Shamanic belief in the power of rhythm to heal, connect, and transform.

Embracing Positivity and Confidence

The song starts with the imagery of a bright morning, setting the tone for a day filled with energy and optimism. The banjo’s lively strumming and the steady pace of the drums create a dynamic foundation, symbolizing the steady pulse of life we all march to. The bassline pumps power into the air, encouraging you to dance through your troubles and live with a carefree spirit.

As the song unfolds, it becomes a mantra for infusing joy and rhythm into every facet of life—from the morning’s first light to the evening’s groove. The chorus reinforces the notion that life is a journey, and with every beat, you’re crafting your own narrative. It’s a call to live life to the brim, with a smile on your lips and a dance in your step.

“Rhythm of Life” is more than just a dance song; it’s an anthem for living life with a positive mindset, finding your groove in everyday moments, and letting the rhythm of life guide you to happiness and fulfillment.
